Challenge

Egan Drilling’s traditional methods created a number of challenges that hindered their efficiency. Manual data entry from paper reports was a time-consuming process for drillers and other staff, leading to duplication of effort. Additionally, the unstructured storage of this data made it difficult to access and analyze information quickly. This lack of real-time data visibility hampered Egan’s ability to make informed decisions about drilling operations. Finally, without readily available insights from their data, Egan struggled to identify areas for improvement and streamline their workflows, ultimately impacting their overall drilling efficiency.

Egan Drilling faced:

• Manual data entry from paper reports, causing duplication and delays.
• Unstructured data storage, making access and analysis difficult.
• Lack of real-time visibility, limiting informed decision-making.
• Difficulty identifying trends and optimizing workflows.

Solution

Egan Drilling implemented Krux – a cloud-based drilling data management platform that addressed these challenges head-on. Krux’s data entry application called KruxLog that works hand-in-hand with the data analytics dashboard called KruxMetrix served as the key solutions in streamlining data entry and analysis from the field. The preselected options eliminated the need for manual data entry, saving valuable time and reducing errors. This streamlined approach not only improved efficiency but also ensured data accuracy. The data entered through KruxLog goes directly to KruxMetrix, where it is processed and analyzed. This central web dashboard displayed organized and readily accessible information in real time.

Egan implemented Krux, a cloud-based drilling data management platform featuring:

• KruxLog for mobile field data entry with pre-selected options, eliminating manual errors.
• KruxMetrix for real-time analytics and dashboards, providing immediate visibility into operations.
  This integration streamlined workflows, improved data accuracy, and enabled quick, informed decisions.

"KruxMetrix is also very cost effective compared to other cloud-based data management systems." — Glenn Summerfield
