Connecting well time and cost estimates with drilling logistics management

A realistic logistics plan starts with a realistic well time and cost estimate.

iQx PLANS now integrates with Kabal logistics management software, enabling P10–P50–P90 well time and cost estimates to be transferred directly into logistics workflows. This allows vessel planning, materials delivery, and resource allocation to be aligned with probabilistic drilling scenarios rather than fixed assumptions.

Enabling data-driven logistics decisions for well engineers

In many projects, logistics planning must move forward while drilling schedules are still evolving. This often results in plans built on assumptions, leading to revisions, inefficiencies, and cost exposure as realities change.

By enabling a direct flow of well time and cost estimates into Kabal, iQx PLANS supports more data-driven logistics decisions and improves planning accuracy from the outset.

More precise materials logistics & supply chain management for drilling operations

With iQx PLANS providing probabilistic inputs directly into materials planning and supply logistics, operators benefit from:

Logistics plans based on the most probable drilling phase durations and costs
Better visibility of risk and cost drivers before operations start
More precise planning of vessels, materials, and personnel logistics
Fewer late-stage changes and reduced rework

This leads to better alignment between drilling and logistics teams and more predictable, cost-efficient operations.

Driving digital well planning: scalable, data-driven logistics through open integration

This integration empowers iQx PLANS customers to move toward fully connected digital drilling workflows, where information flows seamlessly between well planning and drilling execution.

Built on an open API and cloud-native architecture, iQx PLANS enables flexible, scalable integration with leading energy software solutions, supporting both standardised and tailored workflows to meet operational needs.

For our users, this means the freedom to connect their digital drilling systems their way, improve digital work processes, and drive greater operational performance, with more precise, data-driven decisions across well planning and drilling.
