Abstract: A system and method control at least one rig by receiving key performance indicator (KPI) data of the at least one rig among a set of rigs, including at least one of flat time performance data, rig lost time performance data, health-safety-environment data, and local labor data. The KPI data is processed to determine at least one of a flat time score, a rig lost time score, a health-safety-environment score, and a local labor score as KPI scores. A rig efficiency index (REI) is determined from a weighting of the KPI scores. A control signal based on the REI is determined to control a first rig among the set of rigs.
