Why Well Service Manager™ (WSM) Software

Whether times are good or bad, optimal use of resources is a concern to all operators. Unfortunately, many field organizations grow so fast that their processes cannot keep up. Increasing numbers of rigs at a field eventually create logistical issues that hinder the rate of return of those resources. The answer is organizing records and providing a clear visualization of field activities so you can manage well interventions that assure assets are used optimally, jobs are properly prioritized, and remediation for well failures is done efficiently and effectively for the long term.

Better organization and operational results come from consolidation of information and visualization of the planning, scheduling, and management detail. However, too much data can be as bad as no data. Rather than providing multiple systems for collecting data, Weatherford combines the data from many disciplines and creates easy to digest information for comparison and analysis. The system can help you migrate away from the proliferation of spreadsheets, handwritten notes, and disparate software systems to an organized method of gathering, storing, and displaying the information needed to properly manage all well activities.

When a well fails, lost revenue is only the beginning of cost issues. Repair expenses, lost rig time from proactive maintenance, and time for failure assessment all increase the total cost of a well failure. WSM helps to reduce those losses in two ways. First, it helps you improve the quality of the repairs with historical information about the well. This assures that the same repairs are not repeated over and over without changing the design of the repetitive failure area. Second, the software provides the right information to be communicated to the crews so they are ready with the proper tools, parts, and tasks that need to be done. Ultimately, quicker and higher quality repairs result in reduced failure rates and a lower mean downtime in the future.

Better organization leads to better management. Without the ability to see where equipment is being used or waiting; how long the tasks are taking; and cost comparisons for each job, it is not possible to manage the amount of time spent on intervention tasks. By having the information available on screen to track the location and status of each task, you are able to administer manpower and equipment to optimize the use of both and prioritize tasks based on the availability of assets, locations of jobs, and the value the well provides. When the job is finished, you can also validate the invoice compared to the estimate and compare those costs between jobs to evaluate the efficiency of the crews.
