  • EFFICIENCY TRACKING SYSTEM FOR A DRILLING RIG
    Publication number: 20170300845
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for tracking the efficiency of a drilling rig are provided. A sensor system on a drilling rig is provided. A controller in communication with the sensor system may be operable to generate measureable parameters relating to at least one Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The measurable parameters may be compared with measureable parameters from a target to generate an Invisible Lost Time (ILT) period and an Invisible Saved Time (IST) period for the drilling rig. The KPIs, ILT period, and IST period may be displayed to a user.
