Performance optimisation

Our performance optimisation software products seek to significantly improve drilling efficiency by increasing time on bottom and reducing downhole problems. They include FX-Control, our drive towards rig remote control.

These smart software applications give you add-on options that can be deployed during the construction of different well sections – from an advanced soft-torque system, through to a system that optimises generator power requirements, as well as a plug and play interface to enable real-time interactions with drilling equipment.

DECREASING WELL DELIVERY TIME
We’re continually working on these packages seeking ongoing improvement, enhanced well construction and the enablement of remote drilling operations – all designed to save you time and money.

82%

OF WELLS UNDER AFE

In one country and over a 3 year period, our performance optimisation software enabled 41 out of 50 wells to be drilled below the expected time and cost.

20%

ROP UP

Early indications from one country and 29 wells drilled, showed that a modern rig equipped with our performance optimisation products achieved an ROP improvement of up to 20% versus a rig without.

30%

NPT DOWN

Across 333 wells, rigs with our performance optimisation software delivered a consistent 1% NPT, plus a reduction of 30% in top drive specific NPT.

Delivering value by transforming drilling operations

While we are known for our superior safety and operational performance, the technology and innovation we bring to our equipment and drilling operations are proven to deliver outstanding long-term efficiencies – meaning tangible time and financial savings.
