Prior to the implementation of OGEMS, the process of assembling and validating a Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA) in the oil and gas industry was complex and time-consuming. Engineers had to manually collaborate, select components, and ensure compliance with well profiles and various drilling conditions. This process often involved multiple iterations and lacked a standardized approach, leading to inefficiencies, errors, and potential non-compliance.

BHA ASSEMBLER AND VALIDATOR APP
As part of the OGEMS suite, Parallel Minds developed the BHA Assembler and Validator app to streamline and optimize the BHA assembly process. This app introduced the following features, simplifying and enhancing the BHA assembly and validation:

• Collaborative Component Placement: The app allowed engineers to collaborate and place various components to create a custom BHA. Multiple users could work together in real-time, ensuring efficient collaboration and knowledge sharing.
• Guided Assembly for Well Profiles and Drilling Condition: The app guided collaborating users in creating and placing the BHA components specific to the well profile and various drilling conditions. This ensured that the assembled BHA was optimized for the specific operational requirements.
• CAD Model Interface and Component Selection: The app provided an interface for engineers to browse through various CAD models of BHA components. Engineers could select a particular component from the catalog and place it in the main assembly, visualizing the BHA in a digital representation.
• Cloud-Based Rule Engine Validation: Once the BHA assembly was complete, the engineer submitted the configuration to a cloud-based rule engine for validation. The rule engine performed automated checks and validations based on industry standards and compliance requirements.
• Validation Report and Corrective Actions: The rule engine generated a comprehensive validation report, indicating compliance or non-compliance with regulations and standards. In case of non-compliance, the report also provided possible corrective actions to rectify the issues identified.

Before the implementation of OGEMS, the process of determining optimal jar placement in well profiles was complex and time-consuming. Site engineers relied on manual calculations and reference materials to determine the best placement location, which often led to suboptimal results and increased the risk of unsuccessful operations. The lack of a streamlined and standardized process hindered the efficiency and effectiveness of jar placement operations.

JAR PLACEMENT APP
As part of the OGEMS suite, Parallel Minds developed the Jar Placement app to revolutionize and optimize the jar placement process. This app introduced the following features, simplifying and enhancing the jar placement operation:

• Well Profile Selection: The app allowed the site engineer to select the well profile type, either horizontal or vertical (S or J-shaped). This ensured that the app’s algorithms and calculations were tailored to the specific well geometry.
• Guided Parameter Specification: The app provided a step-by-step guide to help the engineer choose and specify the standard parameters necessary for jar placement. This streamlined the parameter selection process and reduced the risk of errors.
• Optimal Jar Placement: Using the specified parameters and advanced algorithms, the app generated a drill string with the jar placed at the optimal location within the well. This ensured that the maximum impact could be applied to the stuck point, increasing the chances of successful jar operations.
• Interactive Jar Placement Adjustment: The app allowed the engineer to manually adjust the jar placement, taking into account their expertise and any additional factors. This interactive feature empowered the engineer to fine-tune the jar placement for maximum impact and operational success.
• Data Export and Validation: Once the jar placement was finalized, the engineer could export the jar placement data and share it with the engineering team for validation and approval. This streamlined communication between site engineers and the engineering team, ensuring that the jar placement adhered to the required standards and operational objectives.

The equipment rental process in the oil and gas industry was time-consuming and cumbersome. Customers and site engineers faced challenges in checking equipment availability, generating quotes, and registering rental requests. The lack of a streamlined and efficient system often led to delays, manual errors, and miscommunication between stakeholders.

EQUIPMENT RENTAL REQUEST APP
As part of the OGEMS suite, Parallel Minds developed the Equipment Rental Request app to transform and optimize the equipment rental process. This app revolutionized the way customers and site engineers managed equipment rentals by introducing the following features:

• Equipment Availability Check: The app allowed customers and site engineers to browse through a comprehensive inventory of equipment and check real-time availability. They could easily search for specific equipment types, models, or configurations, ensuring they had access to the equipment they needed.
• Equipment-Specific Form: Once an equipment selection was made, the app presented an equipment-specific form. This form captured all the necessary details related to the rental, such as duration, delivery location, and additional requirements.
• Real-Time Quote Sheet: The app dynamically generated a quote sheet in real time based on the selected equipment and rental parameters. This provided customers and site engineers with immediate visibility into the rental costs and terms. Engineers could review and modify the quote before submitting it for customer approval.
• Customer Approval Workflow: Upon submission, the app facilitated a streamlined approval workflow. The quote was automatically sent to the customer for review and approval. The app provided a secure and efficient communication channel for customers and site engineers to discuss and finalize the rental terms.
• Automated Rental Registration: Once the customer approved the quote, the app automatically registered the rental request with the nearest service center or rental provider. This eliminated manual data entry and reduced the risk of errors or delays in processing rental orders.
• Shipment Notification and ETA: The app integrated with logistics systems to track the status of the rental equipment. Once the equipment was shipped, the solution automatically sent notifications to the customer, providing them with the estimated time of arrival (ETA). This improved transparency and allowed customers to plan their operations accordingly.
