Case Study: OMV E&P accelerates well planning timelines with SLB DrillPlan

How OMV E&P improved its well planning process using Schlumberger technology

OMV E&P, headquartered in Vienna, Austria, wanted to improve the planning process for its onshore development wells, many of which are in challenging drilling environments. The company had been relying on traditional software with disconnected offset well databases and information scattered across PDFs, Excel files, and Word documents, making well planning slow and inefficient. SLB provided the DrillPlan coherent well construction planning solution to help address these issues.

Using SLB’s DrillPlan solution, OMV E&P consolidated drilling data into a single database, enabled multiple disciplines to work on one platform, and automated repetitive tasks and validation workflows. This shortened concept selection from 2 weeks to 2 days, reduced the time to implement learning from offset wells by more than 15%, cut time spent checking documents and re-entering data by 25%, and reduced the time to generate a multiwell drilling program by more than 50%.
