Rig State Intelligence for Drilling Efficiency
29 Rig States. Zero Blind Spots. Measurable Impact.
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.
