A Streamlined Process to Track Field Operations through Management Operations Dashboard

Abstract

The rig operations and drilling activities around the Kingdom have drastically increased over the past few years. Tracking such operations tends to be an extremely complicated process. Furthermore, providing executive management with manual status update reports of the different jobs proves to be a time consuming and laborious task. Such executive summary reports involve collecting information from different sources, which becomes a full time daily job for the engineers, taking into account the size of the operation. With all these challenges, a solution was proposed to develop a streamlined approach to automate such a process. This solution was designed and implemented to be a one stop shop for all logging and well testing operation activities. The solution integrates data from different sources and provides the engineers with all the required information to kick-start the analysis. This Management Operations Dashboard (MOD) enriches the decision making process by providing Upstream management with a high level, multilateral status overview of the operations, in a timely manner through a GIS enabled interface. It also automates the process of generating and distributing executive summary reports to higher management, allowing engineers to focus on analysis and setting strategies.The paper discusses and shares major insights from the completed project and highlights the main incorporated features. It also outlines the MOD's workflow to prepare and send summarized operation reports.
