DRILLPIPE LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Web Application
Downhole Solutions
The database-driven web application is the primary
interface to all the information about the pipe in your
fleet. Here, the data can be queried, sorted and viewed
in different ways. Current and historic inspection data is
available for viewing. Auto-generated reports in Acrobat®*
format can be downloaded and printed.
Statistics Drilling Solutions
The website calculates and shows key statistics about
your drillpipe inventory. The average age of your inventory,
original cost, current estimated value after depreciation,
hours drilling, and hours tripping are just a few of the
statistics available on the web application. If more statistics
are needed, our dedicated team is willing to explore your
Engineering and Project Management Solutions
needs with you and add these to the system to improve
your company’s decision making processes.
