Picture a world where drilling engineers use their time and expertise on in-depth analysis and performance optimization, rather than digging through mountains of data to find what they need. This vision is increasingly becoming a reality with DrillOps™ performance insights—a groundbreaking application that seamlessly integrates advanced analytics into the daily operations of drilling teams. With DrillOps intelligent well delivery and insights solutions, data-driven decision-making is not just possible, it’s a key component of the modern well life cycle.

Automation—from data management to insightful analysis

To meet the demands of an increasingly fast-paced world of drilling, making well-informed decisions and optimizing performance are key. This requires access to a vast volume of aligned, integrated data. Until now, this has meant engineers spending countless hours managing data rather than utilizing it. DrillOps performance insights changes this dynamic by automating data ingestion and processing, leveraging AI and machine learning (ML) to streamline operations.

Automation will not replace domain expertise; it will enhance it. By providing engineers with precise, actionable data, DrillOps performance insights enables them to focus on what they do best—engineering solutions to complex challenges. It automates rig state detection, through segmenting sensor data by decomposing drilling data into detailed segments, DrillOps performance insights can offer more granular insights into operations than ever before. This approach reduces the manual workload, giving engineers more time to engage deeply with data analysis.

The automation of data integration and processing drastically reduces the time required for these tasks, what previously took days or weeks of work can now be done in seconds or minutes. This efficiency is particularly beneficial when managing high volumes of data across numerous wells, where even small time savings can translate into significant cost reductions.

Unifying data for comprehensive insights

DrillOps performance insights delivers integration of diverse data types, ready for comprehensive analysis. By consolidating high-frequency sensor data with low-frequency data, such as daily drilling reports, DrillOps performance insights provides a unified view of all relevant information. It can connect to external applications, retrieving sensor data from rig sites using WITSML loaders and processing data in various formats through file parsing.

With DrillOps performance insights you can benefit from seamless integration between SLB software solutions. For instance, insights from the drilling parameters roadmap can be pushed to other DrillOps solutions modules for real-time monitoring and adjustments. The two-way data flow enables DrillOps performance insights to both receive data from and supply data to external applications, ensuring consistent and thorough data utilization across systems.

The benefits of this integration extend beyond ongoing operations. DrillOps performance insights also enhances future well planning by offering insights into past performance and potential outcomes. By identifying reasons for underperformance in previous wells, it aids in mitigating similar risks in the future. Exposing risk events and analytical results through APIs extends the utility of DrillOps performance insights, empowering other applications to leverage this information for improved planning and risk management.

The journey ahead

DrillOps performance insights is transforming the landscape of drilling operations by automating data management, integrating comprehensive data sources, and enhancing risk management strategies. By empowering engineers with the data and tools they need to focus on analysis and optimization, DrillOps performance insights not only improves efficiency and reduces costs but also drives innovation in well construction.
