- Unifies rig and WITSML data into one structured dataset for reliable operational decisions.
- Detects drilling anomalies such as kicks, stuck pipe, and circulation losses in real time.
- Optimises ROP, WOB, and RPM through AI-guided parameter recommendations.
- Predicts bit wear and failure modes to extend run lengths and avoid unplanned trips.
- Presents actionable KPIs and live dashboards aligned with drilling team workflows.
- Automates daily and end-of-section reporting to shorten analysis and review cycles.
How it works
DrillSense™ automates the drilling workflow by unifying rig data, identifying anomalies early, optimising drilling parameters, and generating ready-to-use operational reports.
- Data Ingestion: Handles WITSML, rig telemetry, historical logs, and surface parameters in a structured workspace for consistent engineering analysis.
- Performance Monitoring: Tracks real-time KPIs, ROP trends, torque and drag, and section-level drilling behaviour with clear operational visibility.
- Anomaly Detection: Uses ML models to identify stuck-pipe risks, circulation losses, kicks, and other abnormal patterns across varying drilling conditions.
- Parameter Optimization: Applies physics-informed AI to recommend ROP, WOB, and RPM adjustments for safer and more efficient drilling performance.
- Reporting & Insights: Produces daily and end-of-section reports with actionable findings, KPIs, recommended changes, and clear operational guidance.

FAQs on DrillSense™ Platform
How can DrillSense™ help my team improve drilling performance and reduce operational risk in real time?
DrillSense™ continuously analyzes ROP, torque, drag, pressure, and downhole responses to surface early warning signs and performance shifts. It alerts engineers to emerging issues such as stuck-pipe tendencies, rising mechanical stress, or poor hole cleaning while offering parameter adjustments to maintain stability. This helps teams reduce risk, avoid costly downtime, and sustain performance across well sections.
What data does DrillSense™ require, and how easily can it fit into our current drilling workflows?
The platform works with standard WITSML feeds, rig telemetry streams, and historical drilling logs. Integration is straightforward because DrillSense™ is built around industry compatible connectors and can sit alongside your existing real-time operating center tools. Most teams begin using the platform with minimal workflow disruption, and insights appear immediately once data is connected.
How accurate and reliable are DrillSense™ predictions for anomalies, failures, and drilling optimization?
DrillSense™ combines physics-based relationships and machine-learning models trained on thousands of drilling intervals. This dual approach improves prediction accuracy and reduces false alarms. It continuously recalibrates as new data flows in, ensuring real-world reliability. The system’s goal is not only detecting events but giving clear, actionable guidance that engineers can trust on active wells.
Can DrillSense™ provide real-time recommendations that engineers can apply while drilling operations are live?
Yes. DrillSense™ evaluates incoming data streams second-by-second to recommend ROP, WOB, and RPM adjustments. These recommendations reflect both the current mechanical state and the surrounding formation’s response, helping maintain drilling consistency. Engineers remain in full control, DrillSense™ simply provides supporting intelligence, especially during dynamic or challenging intervals.
How does DrillSense™ support operational reporting and performance reviews across multiple rigs or wells?
The platform automatically generates daily summaries, section-level reviews, performance highlights, and recommended improvements. These reports help supervisors understand what happened, why it happened, and how to enhance performance on the next run. Because reporting is standardized, multi-rig operations benefit from consistent KPIs, cleaner communication, and a shared view of drilling performance.
What deployment options are available, and can DrillSense™ work in secure, air-gapped environments?
DrillSense™ supports both cloud and on-premise deployments. Many operators prefer cloud for scalability and centralized oversight, but the platform also runs entirely offline for secure or regulated environments. Air-gapped installations are fully supported, ensuring sensitive operational data never leaves the customer’s controlled infrastructure.
