Integrate oil rig scheduling with key operational metrics

Actenum RAS (Rig Activity Scheduler) enables you to build high value schedules for drilling, completion, and workover rigs.

By linking a scheduling Gantt chart display to parameters such as production volume, cost, and rig movements, Actenum RAS gives you real-time feedback on your schedule quality. This enables you to make informed decisions about the management of your rig fleet, the best way to sequence well activities, and how to reduce the distance travelled by each rig.

Using Actenum RAS, you can maximize production and asset utilization, and minimize costs and the risk of deferred production. You can also model “what if?” scenarios to determine how to use your rigs most efficiently when you have multiple alternatives available. For example, Actenum RAS lets you quickly respond to questions such as:

• Can field production targets be maintained with fewer drilling rigs?
• Can rig movements be arranged in a way that reduces the distance travelled (and therefore, the cost of the movements) without affecting overall production?
• What's the best mix of owned and leased rigs to use, given this year's rig budget?
• How much more production could be achieved by adding a rig?
• How much deferred production would be saved if additional workover rigs were available?
• What can be done to minimize deferred production when a rig is out of service for some reason?

Take the guesswork out of schedule your drilling, completion, and workover rigs

Actenum RAS embeds extensive operational knowledge into a sophisticated schedule optimization model that links scheduling to key operational metrics. You can use Actenum RAS in planning mode, with multi-year time horizons, or in daily operational mode, to reschedule as your field and well conditions change.

Using Actenum RAS, you always know:

• The impact of scheduling rigs on production output;
• What your expected rig movements and costs will be;
• How to schedule and reschedule rig activities as operational conditions change and disruptions occur;
• How various schedule alternatives influence the operational risk associated with achieving production targets.

Actenum RAS gives you top-line impact through:

• Predictable production output
• Improved production availability/minimized deferred production
• Increased rig operating efficiency and maximized performance
• Enhanced recovery from planned and unplanned downtime or rig/well status
• Rapid and strategic decision-making.
