Next-generation software

Published:  15 March, 2023

AGR a global energy engineering consultancy and software provider, has announced it has launched new software that gives drilling professionals unrivalled understanding of time, cost and risk when planning wells.

AGR says the next-generation P1ANS application builds on the global success of its Software’s field-proven and industry-leading P1 application.

P1ANS combines trusted techniques with improved technology and new features, including rig campaign time and cost modelling, auto-distribution from historic reference data, company specific tagging and templates increasing standardisation in well construction.

P1ANS employs Monte Carlo probabilistic simulation techniques to analyse thousands of data points, before predicting a range of possible outcomes. Designed for drilling and well engineers and managers, digitalisation leads and cost controllers, P1ANS helps ensure time and cost for single wells and drilling campaigns are thoroughly planned and consider all risks.

The software integrates seamlessly with a range of other widely used technologies and is compliant with all modern software architecture requirements, including cybersecurity compliance, Single Sign On (SSO) and OpenAPI.

Users benefit from a learning curve feature which enables greater forecasting over the duration of a campaign.

The software also offers greenhouse gas emission prediction, helping companies achieve low carbon ambitions. With the option to import historical data and input from other digital solutions, users can seamlessly integrate time and cost outputs in their overall software network without the risk of data duplication or guessing errors.

P1ANS was developed in close consultation with AGR’s users and partners. As a result, it offers enhanced collaboration features to license partners, service companies and stakeholders at all levels.

Commenting on the launch, Øystein Andersen, VP of software at AGR (pictured), said:

“This eagerly anticipated release of the next-generation drilling time and cost estimation software helps to further AGR Software’s ambition of digitising the well delivery process, unlocking an array of workflow efficiencies.

“P1ANS gives operators the ability to unify data streams imported from other programs while standardising the well time and cost estimation output, such as AFE or time/cost curve for quicker decision-making.

“P1ANS is the latest addition to our expanding portfolio of industry-leading software, iQx. We have experienced huge interest from the market in this tool and will be presenting the solution at the SPE/IADC International Drilling Conference and Exhibition event in Stavanger this week.”
