In the drilling industry, time is money – delays in receiving and analyzing field data can quickly add up, wasting resources and labour hours.
Whether it’s waiting on outdated information, dealing with miscommunications, or sorting through inconsistent reports, these inefficiencies can quickly turn into larger problems. Wasted labour hours, and unnecessary resource use, become the norm, leading to project delays and cost overruns. With data inconsistencies, and numerous factors involved at different stages, it’s almost impossible to pin-point an exact problem without changing the overall operation.
Many drillers are likely familiar with the challenges presented from using non-standardized data entry systems—whether they’re relying on excel spreadsheets, manual data entry, or even in-house systems; these methods will often lead to inconsistencies, errors, and inefficiencies that can have an effect across an entire operation. Inaccurate, or incomplete data can result in miscommunications, delays, and costly mistakes that undermine a company’s ability to make informed decisions. The lack of a standard data entry system, makes it difficult to track and validate information across teams and projects, creating gaps that become a pain point during reconciliation.
To eliminate miscommunication drillers are provided one, standardized, secure, location to input all necessary field information. Enforcing standardized terminology ensures information provided remains consistent - regardless of terms each driller uses when logging data. Field data is then approved and validated before it reaches the analyzation stage; with pre-approved data, Krux’s software can provide accurate analytics immediately, to save time when making necessary decisions.
The robust approval system ensures there’s true operational transparency between all parties, promoting a trusted partnership and improving the service that is provided to mining organizations.
When implementing Krux, drilling companies are fine tuning their operations to reduce delays, standby, and unnecessary charges; while maximizing revenue opportunities, consumable use, and meters being drilled.
You can learn more about Krux’s software solution, from Rodren Drilling, a key player in the drilling industry who watched their operations transform after implementing Krux to target data inconsistencies.
