Drilling is a complex process and delivering a successful well requires identifying proper technologies and utilizing them efficiently to save time & cost. Today in Oil & Gas industry there is a huge focus on digital technologies to improve Drilling Process efficiency and PDO decided to implement an innovative approach of process optimization by implementing a unique project "electronically Delivering the Limit (eDtL)".

The overall approach with eDtL project was to implement a platform which can provide Drilling Operations team the technical limit for all Drilling Activities, which is the theoretical minimum time required to perform an activity, based on available knowledge and technology.

eDtL system utilizes rig sensors data transmitted in Real-Time from Drilling Rigs to automatically detect the Rig Activity and focus on identifying the areas of Drilling Performance Improvements and minimizing redundant tasks for rig and office teams. The identified opportunities are communicated with rig team for implementation and the performance is tracked again to highlight the improvements.

eDtL system also provides capability for continuous improvement of organizational processes by introducing automation of redundant tasks. One of such improvement was partial automation of Daily Drilling Report which was historically manually recorded by rig team daily.
