FTR’s Difference = Oilfield experience, field data, and boots on the ground.
We partnered with FTR for 2 years (2014 – 2016) with a common goal of reducing move times between pads and reducing walking time between wells. They achieved buy in from rig managers and crews through shared information and LEAN Solutions. The results were a 49% reduction in move times between locations and a 53% reduction in walking time between wells. I would highly recommend FTR and their engineering approach to streamline rig operations.
A 40% improvement in Flat Time shows a strong example of what can be attained when a team is committed to continuous improvement. The engineers at FTR were a huge part of our success.
We were very impressed by FTR’s ability to gain the respect of our rig crews. They took the time necessary to build good relationships with my team. The end result was a significant decrease in mobilization and nipple up times across the entire fleet.
