RIMBase Overview

RIMBase is a field proven daily reporting and well information solution designed to capture the full range of data describing the operations at a wellsite for the life cycle of the well. It includes a tightly integrated set of daily reporting, communications, data distribution and data analysis functions. Now in its 5th major iteration, RIMBase has over 10 years of experience gained in domestic and international oil, gas and geothermal operations.

The RIMBase solution provides the following capability:

• Wellsite reporting for operational, cost, safety and engineering data
• Well to office data transfers
• Storage of all data at a central site
• Automated distribution of daily report data to partners
• Extensive reporting capability to support the well construction team
• Responsive support team for added user confidence

Key features of RIMBase include:

• Easy to setup and use on all types of rigs
• Runs on standard Windows PC’s and servers
• Uses popular Microsoft database technologies
• Scaleable for use by single users, small work groups or larger networked environments
• User interface supports data filtering, sorting and searches
• Over 45 reports and graphs with powerful data selection menus
• Graphical reports can be annotated
• Customer logo can be added to reports
• All reports can be e-mailed to partners and individuals in other departments
• Communications module automates data transfers to local and central offices
• Tracks multiple well bores for each well
• All Look-Up List items can be customized by the user
• Online context sensitive Help
• Units of measure and regional settings can be customized for international operations

Key benefits of RIMBase include:

Reporting Workflow Efficiency:

A powerful reporting function working directly from a central store of report data results in:

• Data entered once at the wellsite source – no re-keying of data in the office
• Reporting direct from database minimizes redundant clerical effort
• Improved report distribution timeliness
• Management summaries are created without having to re-key data in the office
• Reports can be e-mailed in universally accepted pdf format
• Manpower intensive partner report distributions can be completely automated
• Support for efficient End of Well reporting

Management Overviews, Engineering Analysis and Planning Support:

Easy and flexible access to data provides support for business critical decisions and project planning such as:

• Summary reports provide management with flexible access to operational overviews
• Supports the well construction team in early identification of operational problems
• Easy access to historical well data improves well planning efficiency
• Detailed AFE and daily well cost tracking allows planned versus actual comparisons
• Provides operational performance indicator analysis
• Helps with wellsite based continuous improvement programs
• Allows well to well and rig to rig performance comparisons
• Regional knowledge and experience retention
• Supports a more productive use of engineering resources

Easy to Use:

The application interface design recognizes the unique requirements of rig site users and is reflected by:

• intuitive and easy to use interface means lower implementation, training and support costs
• Easy installation and setup procedure designed for remote wellsites
• Extensive diagnostics and event logging capability minimizes troubleshooting burden for rig users
