Drilling Mud
Drilling mud—also known as drilling fluid—is a specially formulated fluid that is circulated through the wellbore during drilling operations. It plays a critical role in the success and safety of oil and gas exploration and production.
Blowout Preventer
A Blowout Preventer (BOP) is a high-pressure safety device installed at the wellhead during oil and gas drilling operations. Its primary function is to seal the well and prevent the uncontrolled release of oil, gas or drilling fluids—known as a blowout.
Mud Motor
The Mud Motor operates using a rotor and stator assembly. As drilling mud is pumped through the motor, it causes the rotor to turn within the stator, generating torque and rotation at the bit. This allows the bit to cut through rock even when the drill string is not rotating, which is particularly useful in directional drilling applications.
Rate of Penetration
Rate of penetration (ROP) is a key drilling performance metric in the oil and gas industry that measures the speed at which a drill bit breaks through rock to deepen a wellbore. It is typically expressed in feet per hour (ft/hr) or meters per hour (m/hr).
Field Management Software
Field management software (FMS) in the oilfield services context refers to a digital platform designed to streamline, automate and optimize the execution and monitoring of field operations. It connects field technicians, back office personnel and management through a centralized system that handles everything from job scheduling and dispatching to asset tracking, invoicing and maintenance.
The Digital Ticket Advantage | Turn Field Work Into Free Summer Time
Summer doesn’t wait – and neither should you. If you’re still using paper tickets, you know how fast they pile up: shoved in the truck, dropped off at the office, slowing you down at the end of a long day.
Dialing Oilfield Days Sales Outstanding Down to Zero and Freeing Up Cash for Growth
The sun rises on a wellsite in North Dakota where hydraulic fracturing operations have been running through the night. A line of water-hauling trucks idles nearby, keeping a steady supply flowing downhole. Handwritten field tickets for those loads exchange hands, only to get stuffed in a truck door or tossed onto a dashboard. With up […]
Why Digital Field Tickets Are the Oilfield’s Most Underrated Profit Solution
Ask any oilfield operations manager what slows down invoicing and you’ll hear it every time: submitting field tickets from the job site to the office. These tickets are the handshake confirming work was done, but when they’re trapped on paper, buried in emails or scattered across spreadsheets; mistakes and delays pile up fast. And when […]
How Oilfield Service Companies Can Stay Profitable in an Uncertain Market
If you’ve spent any time in the oilfield services industry, you know it’s a cyclical business. When times are good, you’re on speed dial for work. When times are tight, you’re the first to feel it. And right now, with so much uncertainty in the market, profitability becomes the top priority to sustain your business. […]
Rig Count
Rig count is a key metric in the oilfield services industry that tracks the number of active drilling rigs. This count serves as a leading indicator of demand for oilfield services and products.
