As the largest onshore well engineering project management provider in Australia, inGauge caters to a diverse clientele across multiple countries and basins. With a range of well types ranging from conventional, unconventional, geothermal, and CO2 sequestration, and with operations including drilling, completions, well integrity, and fracture stimulation, inGauge needs to be flexible and dynamic in their workflows and the final delivered project.
Additionally, commercial traceability is key for a small business and can sometimes present a challenge for overheads, such as software. With significant recent growth, ensuring traceability of accounts and implementing robust systems across accounting and customer management has therefore become a focus area for inGauge.
inGauge has developed a fit for purpose well delivery process, which caters to all project scopes and scales; this is illustrated as the Brisbane River shown below. Full scopes follow the five-step gated process, whilst bespoke scope, (shown as the tributaries) may either be streamlined or only complete one or two activities.
The deployment of DrillPlan solutions has proven to be highly versatile, helping to achieve a spectrum of objectives ranging from preliminary feasibility assessments to comprehensive technical well designs ahead of operational activities. This versatility is aligned with the varied project scopes that inGauge deliver.
The implementation of DrillPlan solutions has been structured to facilitate scalability, aligning with inGauge's evolving needs throughout the year. This has been chieved by a setup which can be scalable depending on inGauge activity levels. This strategic setup ensures that inGauge can leverage the capabilities of DrillPlan solutions efficiently while also meeting the operational demands of both inGauge and SLB, their partner of choice.
Taking appropriate security measures while working with data for different customers within the cloud was another significant consideration for inGauge. With the ability to partition data from one customer to another, DrillPlan solutions helps to elevate data security and reduce the risk of data breaches.
