Responsibility
Most software in this industry claims an ESG benefit it cannot evidence. This page states what DrillX genuinely moves, shows the arithmetic behind every number, and names the limits — because a claim a client's sustainability team can pull apart is worse than no claim at all.
Fewer days on the well means less diesel burned. Measured per section, reported in tonnes of CO₂e, on every design package.
A man records what happened in the language he actually speaks, and no one works on an expired well control ticket.
Separation of duties, immutable records and no invented numbers — enforced in code, not in policy.
Emissions reporting is built into the design package. Every well plan states estimated diesel consumption, total CO₂e and kilograms of CO₂e per metre drilled, using the rig's own fuel rate.
DrillX does not make an engine cleaner. It shortens the well. Fuel burn on a land rig is close to a function of days on location, so recovering lost days removes fuel directly.
| Step | Working |
|---|---|
| Rig fuel rate | 9,800 litres of diesel per day for a 1,500 HP desert-mobile rig with four CAT gensets |
| Days recovered | 2.35 days, from the measured invisible lost time on that rig — connections, rate of penetration, tripping and flat time against P50 targets |
| Diesel avoided | 2.35 × 9,800 = 23,030 litres per well |
| Emission factor | 2.68 kg CO₂e per litre of diesel |
| Result | 23,030 × 2.68 = 61.7 tonnes CO₂e per well |
| Fleet scale | 6 rigs × 4 wells × 61.7 t ≈ 1,480 t CO₂e per year |
| Waste and discharge record | Cuttings volumes, waste transfer manifests, water and fuel consumption captured on the daily HSE report rather than reconstructed at audit |
| Paper removed | Tour sheets, tallies, permits and handovers captured digitally. A working rig generates several hundred printed pages a month |
| Loss circulation events | Recorded and fed back to the offset database so the next well pre-mixes LCM instead of losing mud to the formation |
| Energy transition wells | The design package supports CO₂ storage to UIC Class VI, geothermal, water supply and injection wells — the same engine, different rules |
On a Gulf rig floor the crew records in Arabic, Urdu, Hindi or Tagalog. Every competing platform assumes English input, so the toolpusher's note, the HSE observation and the near-miss card never reach the system that analyses them. The most important half of what happened is lost at the point of entry.
DrillX takes the entry in the language it was written and keeps the original wording as the record. A man can report a hazard properly without waiting for someone who writes English. The interface runs in English, Arabic, Spanish, French, Chinese and Urdu.
| Contribution | How |
|---|---|
| Competency assurance | IWCF, WellSharp, medical and training expiry tracked per person. Nobody stands on the brake with a lapsed well control ticket because the register flagged it 30 days out |
| Equipment certification | API 4F mast, 8B hoisting, 7K drilling equipment and DS-1 drill string inspection dates tracked to the day. One expired certificate is a stop-work item |
| HSE record integrity | Permits, observations, drills, incidents and man-hours captured at source, with the Arabic original preserved for the investigation |
| Fatigue | Two hours per rig per day of manual reporting removed. That time returns to the crew, not to more paperwork |
| Crew development | The scorecard is published at the pre-tour meeting as coaching. It names the best tour rather than the worst |
| Fair payment | Lost time traced to evidence means invoice disputes are settled on record rather than on argument — which protects the contractor that employs the crew |
| Local capability | Deployed under the client's own domain in the client's own country, supporting In-Country Value scoring in the UAE and Oman |
| No invented numbers | Every field traces to a sensor reading, a prior approved document or a keystroke. If the source cannot be identified the field stays blank. Blank is an acceptable answer; a guess is not |
| Separation of duties | The driller records that time was lost. A different named person decides whose account it is charged to. Neither can do both |
| Immutable record | A countersigned tour sheet locks. A change creates a revision with an audit trail and a named signatory. Nothing is overwritten |
| Original wording preserved | The Arabic entry is the record. The English is a rendering of it, never a replacement |
| Standards conformance | Ninety API, ISO, IADC, IWCF, NORSOK and IOGP standards mapped to the documents they govern, printed on each document |
| Data sovereignty | Client deployments hosted in the client's own jurisdiction. No training on client data, no cross-client inference |
| Engineering restraint | DrillX does not perform safety-critical calculation. Every design sheet is stamped preliminary until a named engineer verifies and signs it |
