Value Delivered
Improved Drilling time by 55% in 12.25” section, saving USD 100K in operations
Identified, tracked and measured unnecessarily procedures during drilling operations (Constituting 30% of the time) in Realtime
Set new benchmarks for drilling connections by reducing connection time by eliminating unnecessary reaming cycles
Decreased overall NPT
Improved drilling efficiency and consistency across wells
Event Summary
A U.S. operator was experiencing excessive non-productive time (NPT) during well construction due to inefficient drilling practices. Offset well analysis revealed a consistent pattern: reaming and back-reaming were performed at every connection, despite no hole stability issues. This unnecessary activity added significant rig time and cost per well.
By deploying VuMaxPro’s real-time data integration with 29 rig states, the operator was able to:
Quantify time lost to unnecessary reaming/back-reaming
Track drilling behaviors at each connection
Implement corrective operational controls
VuMaxPro transformed unmeasured habitual behavior into actionable performance data driving measurable operational and financial gains.

Revealing Hidden On-Bottom Dysfunction for Section Performance
Identified non-productive time (NPT) worth USD 49K within 24 hours
Detected NPT and ILTs using multi-well KPI analysis
Revealed unreported on-bottom dysfunctions in real-time
Enabled faster identification of hidden inefficiencies
Improved drilling decision-making with integrated visualization
Event Summary
A U.S. operator faced persistent drilling performance challenges, including low rate of penetration (ROP), inconsistent drilling practices, and extended section drilling time.
Through VuMaxPro visualization, multiple on-bottom dysfunctions—previously unreported in daily drilling reports—were identified instantly using a single integrated view.
In the 8.5” section, both hole-related and equipment-related inefficiencies remained hidden during operations. With unified visualization, the drilling team was able to:
Identify unreported on-bottom issues in real-time
Detect inefficiencies across drilling behavior patterns
Implement proactive operational controls
Improve section-level drilling performance
VuMaxPro transformed unmeasured habitual behavior into actionable performance data driving measurable operational and financial gains.

Standardized performance using data-driven KPIs
Event Summary
A leading Asian operator struggled to complete wells within planned timelines despite adequate rig capability. Performance gaps were driven by recurring non-productive time (NPT) and invisible lost time (ILT) across multiple sections.
With automated ILT and Total Impact detection, the operator was able to:
Identify inefficiencies during drilling and tripping connections
Detect repeatable performance gaps across wells
Convert real-time data into actionable operational insights
Implement continuous improvement through KPI-driven monitoring
VuMaxPro, detailed performance analysis revealed that a significant portion of operational time was consumed by unnecessary and inefficient procedures—previously hidden in traditional reporting.

Event Summary
A U.S. operator faced inconsistent ROP and recurring flowback issues while drilling a 12.25” section in a challenging formation.
Using VuMaxPro’s advanced flowback fingerprinting and customizable alarm framework, a potential kick event was identified nearly three hours before escalation.
Upon detection, the system automatically validated alarms and alerted the drilling team with data-rich insights, enabling immediate action and rapid alignment across stakeholders.
Identified early warning signals before critical escalation
Triggered automated alarm validation and alerts
Enabled real-time tracking and mitigation of risks
Prevented potential well control incident through timely intervention
VuMaxPro transformed early detection into decisive prevention significantly improving operational safety and control.
