This paper discusses the strategy devised, the approach implemented, and the challenges experienced in the adoption and implementation of an automated drilling-performance-measurement (ADPM) system to be used onsite and remotely. The stages of the optimization of the ADPM system are broken down into prespud operations, operations, and post-well analysis. The successful result of this deployment has seen total actual savings of 2.94 days throughout the campaign. From 2016 to 2021, the operator gained 39.03 days of actual savings for their rig fleet.

The ADPM Tool

The ADPM tool was introduced in 2016 as part of the operator’s digitalization effort.
