Use case examples of how mobile apps can help companies in the energy sector. Discusses day to day conversions in Oil and gas exploration, the oilfield cementing community, facilitating oil field production operations, field enablement apps, and managing health, safety, and environmental risk

1. Operational Effectiveness
Business Problem
Companies always strive to be operationally as effective as possible.
In this, they face certain challenges, those could be:
• Tracking the availability of rigs
• Knowing current utilization levels of rigs
• Sales prospecting
• Trip routing with driving directions
How mobile apps could be used to solve this problem:
A mobile app can provide an interactive map that displays the location
and status of all working oil & gas drilling rigs in the US. There are
organizations that conduct ongoing survey of drilling contractors and
oil & gas operating companies. They publish results of those surveys on
daily basis. The results of the surveys can be showcased in the form of
an interactive map. Using this, companies can easily keep a track on the
availability of rigs in nearby places.
This tool can help in taking much more informed decisions, thereby
increasing operational effectiveness.
Day to Day Conversions in Oil and Gas
Exploration and Drilling
Business Problem
Workers involved in oil and gas exploration and drilling have to do
complex and lengthy calculations on a daily basis. The requirements
to do the calculations arise while on the work and are needed to be done
immediately. The areas of conversion include Crude Oil, Ethane, Butane,
Petroleum Coke and many more.

Energy, Oil & Gas Industry

2. How mobile apps could be used to solve this problem:
A mobile app may include an interface that contains frequently used calculations in day-
to-day drilling and oilfield operations. The calculations may include a unit converter, kill
mud weight, pump output, average hole size, wireline struck point, and pipe tally with pipe
specification. The app may support many units such as inches or millimeters; feet or
meters; pounds per gallon or grams per cubic centimeter, barrels or cubic meters, etc.
The app can also help in calculating aspects like Total Flow Area and Total Ports as well
as perform Hydraulics Analysis.
Helping the Oilfield Cementing Community
Business Problem
The oilfield cementing community has long faced difficulties in facilitating volume
calculations. In the past, they were performed using engineering tables, paper and a
calculator. Due to the calculations being conducted manually, the precision of results
were not very high.
How mobile apps could be used to solve this problem:
A mobile app that assists in conducting volume calculations can be a great help to the
oilfield cementing workers. The app may provide with users the ability to calculate the
annular volume between open hole or casing and the inner casing, drill pipe or tubing, and
calculate the metal displacement volume of drill pipes and tubings. Such methodical and
accurate calculations increase the overall precision levels, thereby increasing efficiency for
workers in the oil and gas industry.
Facilitating Oil Field Production Operations
Business Problem
Pumpers working in the oil field production areas spend hours each day recording official
data into spreadsheets. Once recorded, the information is relayed to operators over phone
or fax. This traditional and inefficient method of oil field production management has
resulted in loss of millions in revenue for oil companies.
How mobile apps could be used to solve this problem:
A mobile app can be introduced aimed at helping oil field production areas. The app can
help pumpers manage their wells more efficiently. It will provide a visual interface which
helps in collecting tank and gauge real-time data. Once the data is collected, it can be
transmitted to the office easily, thereby eliminating paper forms. The tank and gauge
data can also be plotted, which can assist in drawing an analysis.

3. The real-time data transmission functionality can be a great help to all the stakeholders
as the data can be transmitted to other field personnel, managers, and operators. As the
operators and managers know well about the data, they can take actions quicker.
Field Enablement Apps
Business Problem
Oil & Gas field operations require extensive planning, monitoring, and control mechanisms
to be built into their processes. The workers operating in the field can significantly benefit
from mobile apps that facilitate their daily operations.
How mobile apps could be used to solve this problem:
A field enablement app may have a list of wells that are associated with the user. With
that easily accessible list, the field operator can conveniently extract the information
he/ she is looking for. Such a list can also help them figure out how to plan the day and
which wells to concentrate on first. In addition, the app can include an interactive map
that helps workers figure out routes and well locations. The app may also showcase
measurements of production and downtime in a graphical manner. This will assist field
operators in analyzing data.
Managing Health, Safety, and Environmental Risk
Business Problem
The workers in Energy, Oil & Gas industries operate under hazardous situations. They have
to be extremely careful and rigorously follow safety procedures. The operations field is a
dynamic environment and the situation can drastically change in a short span of time. In
such a scenario, it is important that the changing situation is quickly assessed and reported
to the central office. This will help the central office take the required course of action.
How mobile apps could be used to solve this problem:
Mobile apps can facilitate management of health, safety, and environmental risk in real
time. Using such apps, a worker can quickly and easily record safety observations in the
field. The observations could be in the form of a photo and location of hazards, or any
textual information. Once the observation is recorded, it can automatically sync to an
online database, when the device is in network range, and anyone can access it remotely.
The app can also have several other functionalities including basic safety training,
monitoring pressure levels inside field equipment etc.
