Products and Services

Dynamic Drilling Systems is more than just a software vendor. We also take pride in our ability to quickly respond to the changing needs of our customers and to work within their organizations to improve their information management. Utilizing the latest technology and the expertise of our people, we offer a wide variety of services to simplify access to your data improving the decision making process. We bridge the gap between mission critical data and decision makers.

ApolloDART Real Time Web Portal

ApolloDART is the latest in web-based well data presentation and analysis. Our software collects and compares real-time data from multiple wells and seamlessly integrates data from different vendors. This "live" data can be viewed in standard web browsers on any computer or PDA with internet access eliminating the need for proprietary software installation.

Data Aggregation Services

ApolloDART automatically aggregates, distributes, and manages Real Time data from the electronic drilling recorder, mudloggers, mwd/lwd companies and distributes this data to any authorized personnel anywhere in the world.

WITSML Server / Demo Client

ApolloDART's WITSML server fully supports WITSML 1.3.1 API standards, and is backed by the same state of the art database technologies used by other ApolloDART web-clients. It can be accessed from anywhere in the world via our World Server, or deployed at well-site for local access. In either case, the same real-time and historical ML/LWD/Instr data available to ApolloDART web-clients becomes timely data for our clients' existing software investments. A functional demo software client is provided as a jump start to show just how easy access can be (You will need Microsoft .NET 4 framework - not included in zip file).

Advanced Calculations

ApolloDART can employ Advanced Calculations in real-time to derive new information for rapid decision making. Advanced Calculations embody DDS' and/or clients' proprietary algorithms, and constitute an Expert System into which new discoveries can be deployed for future wells.

Unlimited # of Offsets

ApolloDART can account for as many offsets as desired for an accurate representation of different types of Real Time data. Regardless of the number of tools along the drill string, mud logging, mwd/lwd, and any other offset data can be represented accurately for comparison with historical drilling data.

Historical Data

By using ApolloDART, we provide our clients with the ability to query the ApolloDART Knowledge Base and data, giving them the ability to access and analyze all vendor data collected in a single dynamic fully form.

Research Mode

ApolloDART Knowledge Base can be populated with existing data from other 3rd party sources prior to drilling a well, so that sophisticated correlations and comparisons of live well data can be made with past data, drill plan data, or even planning phase comments. Once in the ApolloDART Knowledge Base, imported and recorded data are available in concert to authorized users (GUI) and systems (WITSML) for subsequent synthesis and analysis.

Well Information Summary

With the ApolloDART Well Information Summary, our clients are able to view all of their rigs/wells from a single summary page. The Well Information Summary page allows our clients to view all of their operations with drilling activity codes during morning meetings, in War Rooms, or on the run with a quick glance.

Google Maps Integration

ApolloDART offers a bird's eye view of all your operations on a map overlay. Features a customizable proximity radius selection around a rig as well as a doppler radar display.

High Rate Data Capture

ApolloDART's recording architecture is designed for high performance data capture that exceeds industry standards, and sets the stage to accommodate up and coming technologies such as wired pipe.

Post Well Drilling Analysis

ApolloDART Knowledge Base can be utilized to import clients' problem wells and played back in ApolloDART in search of signatures to alert operations personnel of impending well situations. Drilling experts can then specify Advanced Calculations to run real-time at the well site for all current and future wells.

24/7 Technical Support

Utilizing over 40 years of experience in drilling optimization and data management, the Houston support center staff continuously monitors all active wells in real-time. They are trained to ensure data quality and minimize interruptions by quickly resolving any issues, and can notify vendors and/or DDS field technicians of any required actions.

24/7 War Room Monitoring

Dynamic Drilling Systems works closely with our clients to establish war rooms to monitor well activities resulting in improved communication and better implementation of drilling practices. The ApolloDART software is designed to allow for “at a glance” interpretation of well conditions, and utilizes Smart Alarms which help the team identify and address well situations before they become costly problems.
