Overview

In Oil & Gas well drilling, non-productive time (NPT) events occur when drilling is not progressing as expected. This can be caused by equipment maintenance, repairs, supply chain, weather-related delays, and other unexpected events which impede drilling progress.

With AIP, operators can bring together drilling reports, time series data, and geoscience data allowing them to better understand, predict and prevent NPT, leading to stronger operational and financial outcomes.

Features

• Analyze NPT Root Cause: AIP utilizes multiple data sources including unstructured drilling reports, sensor data, well logs, and maintenance history to automatically suggest root cause categories for NPT events.
• NPT Event Comparison: AIP compares NPT events and provides recommendations based on Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and drilling manuals. For example, if AIP identifies patterns related to specific issues, it can suggest the necessary operational changes for drilling engineers.
• Uncover Best Practices: AIP assesses historical NPT events and formulates recommendations by examining past incidents, patterns, Root Cause Analyses, established SOPs, and drilling manuals. For example, if AIP detects patterns associated with the performance of a particular equipment type in specific geological settings, it can offer guidance during the drilling design phase or suggest operational modifications to reduce NPT risk.
• Predict NPT Risk: AIP lets operators predict NPT risks when drilling new wells based experiences drilling analogous wells, and best practices uncovered with the help of AIP.
