HawkEye Fusion

HawkEye Fusion Features

Cloud-Based Drilling Analytics
This cloud-based drilling analytics platform offers an easy-to-use interface for tracking and analyzing drilling data. With HawkEye Fusion, you can easily monitor drilling progress, view real-time data, and collaborate with your entire team. Our data science algorithms use cutting-edge technology to analyze drilling data and optimize drilling processes. We work with you to identify areas of improvement and provide actionable insights to increase drilling efficiency.

Secure Data Centralization
Fusion offers secure data centralization through its use of a Microsoft SQL server, which can be shielded behind a client-specific firewall to ensure the highest levels of data security. This feature allows companies to maintain full control over their sensitive information by setting up customized security measures tailored to their specific needs. The ability to configure a firewall according to the unique requirements of each client enhances protection against unauthorized access and potential cyber threats. This security-first approach not only safeguards data but also builds trust by ensuring that all data management operations comply with industry-standard security practices.

Back up your data
Legacy HawkEye customers will enjoy the uploading of all their historical data gathered in Hawkeye.mdf data files over the years. We gather all the files, upload them, check for conflicts and resolve them, and also normalize the data so that important categories are all spelled the same way. Since Hawkeye Field gathers the directional driller’s log of BHA, daily activity logs, shipping tickets, inventory and daily charges, all of that information will be available for all the jobs the company has ever run with HawkEye, in one easy-to-use interface in Hawkeye Fusion.

Third party-service integrations
Hawkeye Fusion also is capable of third party integration with providers like SigmaStream, who provide a wide variety of static and real time data analytics, and can benefit from direct integration with Hawkeye Fusion. Further discussion on what the possibilities are for third party integration is welcome.

Office-Oriented Design.
Fusion operates in any web browser, focusing on automated data collection that feeds easy analysis and report generation. The platform simplifies workflows, enabling quick data handling and insight generation, essential for informed decision-making and operational efficiency. Ideal for any lean and mean directional drilling operation, it enhances productivity through intuitive, accessible and affordable technology.

No more emailing
Fusion eliminates the need for traditional, manual data sharing methods like emailing, by automatically transmitting field data to a secure, centralized SQL server. This server is accessible from anywhere with an internet connection and authorization, ensuring that team members can retrieve and analyze data in real-time. This seamless data flow speeds up operations and significantly reduces the risk of data breaches associated with email. The centralized server provides a single source of truth, enhancing data integrity and consistency across the organization.

Comprehensive Reports
HawkEye Fusion provides lightning quick access to all the data and the data can be filtered by numerous categories and time, and pivoted on data across Job scope, BHA scope and Day scope. Cost reports can be easily generated across any date range and category, such as company, rig, location, motor manufacturer, bit manufacturer and any other category Fusion tracks. Fusion solves the problem of summarizing and collating data by providing a wide array of reports with dozens of different charts, an easy-to-use chart tweaker and exporting to Excel. Excel exports themselves can then be used to extend the reporting capability via its own robust and modern data analytics, extended to BI (Business intelligence) or integrated with Tableau data analysis.

The Problem HawkEye Fusion Solves

A great deal of investment and attention has been paid to providing real-time information provided by the rig’s electronic data recorders (EDRs’) to for real-time (RT) operations. These EDRs are connected to different measurement devices and data feeds around the rig, providing block height, mud stroke count, weight on bit, current depth, pressure and numerous other parameters. The data provided by these EDRs is very useful for determining the current state of a rig using either deterministic methods or ML methods of software analysis. Is it drilling, is it tripping in/out of the hole? Is it reaming? How long are connections taking going in the hole, how long are the connections taking coming out of the hole? What differences are the amongst different crews? … etc.
Most EDRs provide one second data which means that there are 86,400 records of 40 or more columns per day. (imagine a spreadsheet 40 columns wide and 86,400 rows long) A lot of useful KPI’s can be generated from this data and help consumers manage their operations more effectively. However, there is a major data hole that is left unfilled by EDRs; they provide very little, if any, meta data. The meta data is the data that ties all of that real time data back to some category, be that a motor, a bit, a driller, a hole size, a directional company, mud wt or any of dozens of parameters that may be of interest. The OD, Length, ID, serial number, description, fishing neck length and diameter of each component in the bottom hole assembly is an example of meta data NOT provided by the EDR.
The HawkEye Field software has been in use since 2008, and thousands of directional drillers have used it to record many thousands of wells and meticulously track their trajectories, drilled foot by foot. With Hawkeye Field, directional drillers can provide meticulous records of their activity and provide all their observations of a BHA, including the details of BHA construction. Almost all of this data is meta-data! Prior to Hawkeye, it was Winserve and Winsurv2 that did the same thing. As the industry has evolved the demands for improved efficiency from the operators have led them to demand better data integration and reporting. Hawkeye Field, the old version, effectively did this for one well at a time, but did not effectively address the larger data scope of what happens across jobs or time spans. Nor does the older version of Hawkeye Field allow for easy centralized data, and it did not have cloud database functionality. Hawkeye Fusion Eco system bridges those gaps.
A new version of Hawkeye Field called Hawkeye Field Connect has been created; it still ties into the legacy system for local storage, but also allows each job to be posted to an authorized MSSQL database hosted by Azure. The BHA Reporting package has been revamped, debugged and radically improved in major ways. Both programs may look the same on the surface (a plus for most users), but underneath the hood there have been significant improvements.
But wait, there’s more… a new product called Hawkeye Fusion
Hawkeye Fusion is designed for use by office users who want to slice and dice the data from multiple jobs, across any time range, any customer or customers and produce useful charts and spreadsheets. It is not meant to be used by field personnel. It aggregates data from all the jobs stored in their Azure database and provides a comprehensive summary table across jobs, BHAs or Daily Activities. It also can easily export all this to an Excel spreadsheet which is the most common and useful tool for data manipulation for virtually the entire planet. In addition, if you want to extend your reporting functionality to BI, Business Intelligence, or to Tableau, the data is already cleaned up and ready to be manipulated by those great web-based services. We can even assist in setting up your Tableau and BI views, should you want to license those services.

The Hawkeye Fusion Vision

The vision behind Hawkeye Fusion is to provide an affordable and effective solution for operators and service providers for tracking their operations’ equipment usage used to drill wells. Each service provider and each operator is provided with a segregated cloud database to which only they are authorized to send and receive data. In the initial version Hawkeye Field Connect is the source of data, but as the vision evolves the database will be populated by authorized web user interfaces.
For example, a user in the shipping department who is sending out a truckload of components such as crossovers, stabilizers and motors will be able to associate that with a particular job and post it to the database. Once delivered, the field personnel can upload the data, thereby saving them tons of time, checking to see all is OK and as it should be and escape the drudgery of typing lots of redundant data. All they need is a moderate connectivity to the internet.
The operators for whom the service company is working may desire to have the service company’s data in their own Fusion database. If the service company agrees to the data sharing, then they will be able to automatically post the data to both their company database and simultaneously to the operator’s database once the operator gives them the credentials to write to their PDT schema database.
