Real time solutions: an innovative approach to making business-time critical driven decisions. It is designed to monitor, support, and optimize operations in real time and remotely to mitigate cost and risk at work sites. The workflows allowed real time monitoring and intervention of the drilling operating parameters from the office which resulted in greater operating efficiency and thus greater financial saving. This technology was instrumental to the Angsi development team's success in drilling Malaysia's longest development well to-date, Angsi-A028ST1 at a total depth of 6,339 meters. Real time well construction workflows begin when real time data on the rig site are gathered and transmitted to PETRONAS Carigali Sdn.Bhd, PCSB office via VSAT link. Data can be accessed via a web-based interface for 24 hours coverage anytime anywhere. The real time data are integrated into a geological and geophysical project database and fed into a 3D visualization tool which amalgamates the planned and current well trajectories within the geological earth model incorporating neighbouring wells with operations data. The simultaneous display of "knowledge-management-cubes" from daily drilling operational reporting software enables the team to review contingency plans and be pre-emptive by the captured lesson learnt. This technology creates multidisciplinary collaborations through the ether space, reducing communication gaps and greatly improving the decision making process. Examples: reducing the number of check trips, shortening the planned TD by comparing the real time data against correlated model, and helping in handling operational problems. The team has greatly benefited from RTO - technologies, people and processes - with a total cost saving of more than USD 1 million.This paper presents the real time system setup, architecture and scope of work in enabling 2D and 3D well visualization and integration. The value-added and the relative cost savings, observations and feedback are also presented.
