Drilling Solutions – Optimization & Planning

March 9, 2026

Improve drilling performance and reduce operational risk by leveraging digitized drilling data, structured workflows, and integrated planning tools.

Our data and analytical solutions help drilling teams move beyond manual tour report review, enabling faster benchmarking, better well planning, and proactive risk mitigation using comprehensive offset-well intelligence and analytics.

How We Deliver Value

Data at Scale, Simplified

Thousands of drilling tour reports are digitized and structured, transforming unstructured daily drilling records into searchable, analyzable datasets. This dramatically reduces time spent reviewing offset wells and competitor activity while improving consistency and insight quality.

Complementing the drilling dataset is Geologic’s integrated suite of geological tools providing formation‑top guidance, drilling‑hazard visibility, directional survey access, and rig‑activity tracking.

Together these tools provide everything needed to plan and execute wells with greater confidence and precision.

Comprehensive Workflow Coverage

Performance Benchmarking, Optimization & Area Review

Multi‑well comparisons highlight outliers across pads, operators, and drilling strategies (solo, sequential, batch). Best‑in‑class drilling rates, bit performance, mud systems, and time codes are surfaced to support continuous improvement.

Offset‑well and competitor analysis within a defined radius using summarized drilling statistics, time‑depth plots, bit and BHA details, mud performance, casing and cement data, and time‑log summaries.

Risk Awareness & Prevention

Assessment of drilling hazards across formations from surface to target zone ensures you’re prepared.

Historical drilling problems—including kicks, loss of circulation as well as H2S occurrence, and surface casing vent flows—are reviewed spatially to help anticipate hazards and plan mitigation strategies before drilling begins.

Integrated Well Planning & Review

Directional surveys, formation tops, and structure maps are combined to support well planning, with the ability to compare planned versus as‑drilled wells to understand deviations and improve future designs.

Visualization of planned well paths relative to land, faults, structure, and formation tops, with post‑drill comparison against executed surveys.

Rig Activity Review

Evaluation of rig availability and historical performance by formation, depth, operator, and drilling contractor to ensure the right rig is selected for the job.

Integrated Data & Tools

  • Digitized drilling tour reports and drilling cost data
  • Area Hazards and H2S Reports
  • Directional surveys and Completions Reports
  • Formation tops, structure maps, and well logs (LAS/Raster)

These datasets are unified with analysis and visualization modules to ensure data consistency and efficient workflows.
