Challenges

Aker BP with Oddfjell Drilling set out to seek operational excellence by employing tde pronova tde to monitor and implement KPIs across three rig operations with the aim to be ‘best of the best’ during campaign lifespan.

How tde pronova helps

Aker BP utilized one team approach, emphasis was placed on controlling the components of Weight to Weight connection times, including Weight to Slips Time, Slip to Slip Time and Slip to Weight Time.
