Benefits

Improved efficiency

By utilizing advanced workflows such as mechanical specific energy (MSE) analysis and real-time data processing, Techlog drilling interpretation optimizes drilling efficiency. It allows for the evaluation of bit and BHA behavior, enabling adjustments that lead to more effective drilling practices.

Establishment of KPI benchmarks

Techlog drilling interpretation provides tools for establishing and tracking KPIs, which are crucial for measuring and improving operational performance. This benchmarking helps in setting standards and identifying areas for improvement.

Increased operational performance

Through comprehensive monitoring and analysis, Techlog drilling interpretation enhances overall operational performance. It supports decision-making by providing insights into well conditions, drilling hazards, and efficiency metrics, leading to better management of drilling operations.

Enhanced integration and knowledge application

Techlog drilling interpretation integrates various data sources and analysis methods, facilitating cross-domain collaboration. This integration allows for a holistic understanding of drilling operations, improving the application of knowledge across different teams and domains.

Risk mitigation

By providing real-time monitoring and analysis, Techlog drilling interpretation helps in early detection of potential issues, such as influxes or abnormal returns. This proactive approach to risk management reduces the likelihood of costly and dangerous drilling incidents.

Features

Collaborative drilling analysis
Through a multiuser, cross-domain environment, Techlog drilling interpretation promotes collaboration between team members. Unlike conventional drilling software, which focuses on just a single well, Techlog drilling interpretation supports multiple wells. This enables you to leverage data and lessons learned from offset wells to improve drilling efficiency and identify potential hazards.

Improve performance and mitigate risk
The end-to-end condition monitoring workflow with Techlog drilling interpretation integrates traditional drilling mechanics analysis methods with real-time torque and drag modeling, hydraulics engines, and all your relevant wellbore data in a common workspace. This enables you to fully understand your wellbore conditions and downhole dynamics and take preventative actions to mitigate risk and improve drilling performance.

Make cost-saving decisions
The drilling efficiency workflow enables you to analyze drilling events to determine the performance of the bit without formation effects and calculate the associated wear. This enables you to calculate the amount of time it will take to complete a section with the current bit performance, and whether it is more economical to pull out of hole (POOH) and change the drilling BHA. With this workflow, you can make the most time and cost-efficient decisions in real time and based on the best science available.

Analyze drilling performance
The Techlog drilling interpretation rig state and drilling engine automatically calculates the specific rig operations from a range of input parameters. This enables you to benchmark the operational performance of the rig and set KPIs in real time, to monitor and improve operational efficiencies.

Multiwell, cross-domain environment
The multi-well database within Techlog drilling interpretation enables a collaborative cross-domain environment for real-time drilling analysis. This enables you to optimize your post-job, offset well, and root cause analysis to implement lessons learned for future field-development improvements. Standard reporting is available to effortlessly capture daily performance, historical benchmarks, and learning.
