Oil and gas companies continuously invest on digital transformation, to economically improve logistics workflow and enhance service providers interaction. A unique digital solution has been designed to automate business processes and reduce unexpected deviations from drilling operation execution process; to avoid unplanned costs and delays affecting overall drilling performance. The manuscript will focus on drilling process modifications and performance impact resulted from implementing drilling forecasting approach for materials and services. Company and Software Provider jointly developed and implemented drilling forecast Report on top of existing reporting system to support drilling operations execution as per short- and long-term plans set earlier. Overall workflow and interconnection logic of steps were defined based on current Company's Standard Operating Procedures detailing Drilling Operation Policies and Instructions. Which ensured the software solution to be fully compliant with Company requirement. The developed automated Report passed a series of comprehensive tests in real conditions and after proven success; was decided to be implemented in Production environment to be efficiently utilized. Following the specific logic of Company's drilling operations execution, the automated forecast report improved planning procedures and automated the information exchange between Company and respective Service Providers to support smooth logistics of materials and personnel that required to be delivered to rig sites or removed from it. Implementation of first phase required strong dedication of drilling engineers, the developed report was designed to eventually lighten the current workload and release additional man-hours in future to analyze and optimize existing procedures. As a digital solution, the report was designed to gather required information from different data sources and automatically compare it with current drilling operations status; to evaluate current phase and predict accordingly the next 10 days of forecast for drilling operations, materials to be prepared and personnel to be located. Which helped to assure materials and field engineers availability on rig site on time. Assuring cost saving and avoiding unplanned logistics costs due to potential deviation and optimized overall Company's financial burden. The forecast report is being developed to be auto generated and shared on daily basis for all rigs to be available for all suppliers on daily basis. Automated forecast Report implanted on top of existing database is enriching current reporting system. Utilizing a digital and automated approach for forecasting daily operation and planning tool for services and materials ahead of time would improve drilling performance efficiency, eliminate any unwanted delays and complement Company's digital strategy.

The liner shoe is a critical component of the lower completion architecture, allowing for auto-filling of the liner and enabling circulation during deployment, followed by closure to provide a closed system. Advancements in completion technologies have resulted in the development of an intelligent electronic liner shoe (ELS) that can be remotely operated without the need for intervention or pumping trigger devices downhole. The electronic liner shoe suited for deployment on 4½-in. liner was developed based on specific requirements from a major operator in the middle east. The electronic liner shoe was qualified per ISO 14998/API 19AC requirements up to 280°F. Additionally, the electronics module incorporated in the tool was vibration and shock tested at temperature. After an extensive qualification test program and thorough pre-job qualification and planning, candidate wells were chosen for the initial deployment of the ELS in Onshore wells. The ELS was first deployed in November 2020 in the Bab field in UAE. This paper highlights the excellent deployment performance using ELS for the onshore field development in UAE. This paper also presents the operational considerations for programming the remote activation mechanism, pre-job risk analysis, technology qualification, and post-job lessons from the first installation, resulting in the ELS’ successful deployment in six additional wells in the onshore fields. The paper also shares the unique benefits the ELS provided the operator towards enhancing operational efficiency, as well as reducing risk and costs associated with running liners.
