Drilling & Operations

Reduce AFE overruns and repeat NPT; get capital to first sales faster.

Reduce AFE overruns

AFE vs actual + NPT lookback

Reduce repeat AFE overruns with phase-level cost and NPT lookbacks.

Challenges we solve

  • Cost and time for the same well live in separate systems
  • Lost time is buried inside generic cost codes
  • Lookbacks finish too late to change the next AFE

Questions you can ask

  • Which wells are >10% over AFE and which cost categories drive it?
  • Which NPT codes drove overrun dollars on this pad?
  • Where is invisible lost time hiding in “drilling” codes?

Reduce cycle time

Spud-to-first-sales cycle time

Reduce days from TD to first sales by finding stage bottlenecks.

Challenges we solve

  • No one owns the wait between TD and first sales
  • Blended averages hide which stage is actually slow
  • Drilled wells stay offline longer than the plan assumes

Questions you can ask

  • Where are days dying after TD before first sales by basin and pad?
  • Which wells are P90+ stuck in facilities?
  • What’s median spud-to-first-sales this quarter vs last?

Improve well ranking

Offset well benchmarking

Improve capital allocation with governed 90/180-day offset comparisons.

Challenges we solve

  • Well comparisons change definition between decks, so results are argued instead of used
  • Completion design isn't shown next to the production it produced
  • Offset benchmarks are rebuilt by hand and land after the design is locked

Questions you can ask

  • How do our last 20 wells compare on 180-day oil per 10k ft vs offsets?
  • Which completion designs underperform peers in this bench?
  • Show P50 internal vs P50 offset for Wolfcamp A 2024–2025.

Reduce repeat NPT

DDR offset knowledge

Reduce repeat stuck-pipe and lost-circulation events by searching prior DDRs before spud.

Challenges we solve

  • Drilling lessons stay buried in daily reports nobody can search
  • Hole-section experience leaves with the crew or the engineer
  • The same formation problem is re-learned on the next pad

Questions you can ask

  • Where have we seen lost circulation in this interval in 24 months?
  • What casing issues showed up in offset DDRs for this bench?
  • Summarize NPT lessons from the last 5 wells on this pad.
