EnergyMindAI / Drilling intelligence
Meet DrillAstra.
Turn drilling history into evidence for your next decision.
DrillAstra brings daily drilling reports, NPT investigation, offset-well lessons and rig readiness into one engineering workspace. Trace the source, review the classification, understand the cost assumptions and decide what needs investigation.
Free hosted beta: DrillAstra is available online with named-account access. Workspaces and uploaded evidence require sign-in. Free hosting can sleep when idle and take about a minute to wake; it is unsuitable for continuous rig-floor alert availability.

From a drilling report to a reviewed finding
- Bring the evidence. Import CSV, XLSX or structured text PDFs. Map source columns and timezones, correct errors and approve the import preview.
- Account for the time. Separate productive time, planned non-drilling and unplanned NPT. Resolve overlapping intervals before comparing wells or calculating exposure.
- Find the pattern. Inspect category Pareto, campaign trends and event details. Keep denominator, cost rate and data coverage visible.
- Review the explanation. Advisory root-cause suggestions retain evidence and require a human decision. Record investigation actions and export the reviewed summary.
Eight connected engineering workspaces
- NPT Intelligence: reviewed events, rig time, configurable costs and reports.
- Offset-Well Intelligence: historical comparison, sourced parameters and lessons.
- Rig Readiness: evidence, owners, certification expiry and critical blockers.
- Stuck Pipe Guardian: read-only telemetry ingestion, replay and advisory alert episodes.
- Drilling Hydraulics: ECD and annular-velocity screening with stated assumptions.
- Drilling Performance: ROP and MSE screening from sourced inputs.
- Equipment Reliability: maintenance evidence, failures and observed reliability metrics.
- Engineering Copilot: engineering-document answers with exact source citations.
Post-well analytics and rig-floor alerts
Historical NPT analysis and telemetry alerts have separate workflows. Alert rules check rig state, source quality, freshness and sequence; persistence, hysteresis and cooldowns help distinguish sustained excursions from brief noise. Each episode retains the source observations and rule configuration for engineering review.
A signal excursion is an advisory observation. It does not automatically establish a stuck-pipe diagnosis or create an NPT event. A physical rig feed and site-approved limits must be commissioned before field use. DrillAstra has no automated rig-control or well-control outputs.
Your first NPT investigation
- Create a campaign, register its rig and add the well. Set the campaign cost rate and reporting denominator.
- Upload a DDR and verify timestamps, units, event boundaries and planned/unplanned mapping.
- Correct or exclude invalid rows, save the review and approve the import.
- Open the largest Pareto category. Check whether it contains one long event or many repeat events.
- Inspect each event’s source evidence. Review classifications and document the rationale.
- Generate an advisory root-cause investigation. Separate verified observations from proposed mechanisms and missing evidence.
- Compare offsets with similar sections and operating context; examine readiness and equipment evidence.
- Export the summary with cost assumptions and coverage. Assign follow-up ownership in your team’s action register and verify whether recurrence changes over later wells.
Reading NPT patterns responsibly
A large cost category: establish whether event duration, frequency or the configured rate explains its size. Estimated exposure is not verified financial loss.
A rising NPT percentage: inspect logged coverage and denominator first. Missing productive hours can make the percentage rise without a new operational failure.
Repeat events across wells: compare section, equipment, operation and source quality before treating a common label as a common mechanism.
A torque or pressure excursion: inspect the actual signal, rig state and gaps. A rule or statistical baseline detects departures; it does not establish their cause or a calibrated probability.
The application includes a 15-step walkthrough and an interactive, explicitly synthetic accounting example. Demo values are illustrative and are never represented as measured field data. Optional AI assistance requires engineering review.
