3. RigHour - Multi-well Drilling Performance Analysis
 RigHour is a software service provided by SIS to identify and report Invisible Lost Time
(ILT) during drilling operations
 Business objective: reduce well construction time by improving efficiency of routine rig
operations.

4. Project Objectives
 Develop approach for operational drilling planning clarified by “stand
metrics”
 Provide computation engine to SW engineering team to be implemented in
RigHour
 Why ?
 More precise instruction to driller
 More accurate / validated plan
 More accurate monitoring
