Krux: Egan drills out paperwork

Case Study

Egan drills out paperwork with Krux Analytics

Location: Western Australia

Customer: Egan Drilling

Application: Data entry and analytics

Year: 2023

Egan Drilling, a leader in the drilling industry with over 40 years of experience, faced manual data collection and reporting challenges. This led to inefficiencies, delays, and difficulty in making data-driven decisions to optimise their drilling operations. To address these issues, Egan implemented a cloud-based data-management solution with mobile data entry and real-time data dashboards.


Challenges

Egan Drilling’s traditional methods created a number of challenges that hindered their efficiency.

Manual data entry from paper reports was a time-consuming process for drillers and other staff, leading to duplication of effort.

Additionally, the unstructured storage of this data made it difficult to access and analyse information quickly. This lack of real-time data visibility hampered Egan’s ability to make informed decisions about drilling operations.

Finally, without readily available insights from their data, Egan struggled to identify areas for improvement and streamline their workflows, ultimately impacting their overall drilling efficiency.

  • Krux is miles ahead on the analytical side of things… a way better, faster experience, compared to how we used to do things.

Krux application

Egan Drilling implemented Krux – a cloud-based drilling-data-management platform that addressed these challenges head-on.

Krux’s data entry application called KruxLog that works hand-in-hand with the data analytics dashboard called KruxMetrix served as the key solutions in streamlining data entry and analysis from the field. The preselected options eliminated the need for manual data entry, saving valuable time and reducing errors.

This streamlined approach not only improved efficiency but also ensured data accuracy.

The data entered through KruxLog goes directly to KruxMetrix, where it is processed and analysed. This central web dashboard displayed organised and readily accessible information in real time.

  • KruxMetrix is also very cost effective compared to other cloud-based data management systems.
