Drilling Operations Software Built for Contractors

Streamline daily drilling reports, manage multi-rig operations, track AFE costs in real-time, and deliver automated reports to clients. Pay only for the reports you create — no monthly fees.

The Contractor's Challenge

Manual Reporting is Slowing You Down

The Problem

Drilling contractors waste hours every day creating and delivering reports manually:

  • Creating daily drilling reports in Word or Excel
  • Manually calculating ROP, cost per foot, and NPT
  • Tracking AFE budgets in separate spreadsheets
  • Emailing reports to multiple clients every night
  • Losing historical data when personnel change
  • No visibility across multiple rigs

The RigReports Solution

RigReports is a cloud-based drilling reporting platform built specifically for drilling contractors. Create standardized daily drilling reports in minutes, not hours. Real-time AFE tracking prevents budget overruns. Automated report delivery ensures clients get updates on time, every time. And with pay-per-report pricing, you only pay when you actually create a report — perfect for variable drilling schedules.

Contractor Success Story

How a Regional Drilling Contractor Cut Reporting Time by 80%

"Before RigReports, our rig supervisors spent 2-3 hours every night creating daily drilling reports in Word. Now they enter data throughout the day, approve the report, and it's automatically sent to clients. The time savings alone paid for the system in the first month

The Challenge

A Texas-based drilling contractor running 6 rigs across the Permian Basin was creating daily drilling reports manually in Microsoft Word. Each rig supervisor spent 2-3 hours every night formatting reports, calculating ROP and cost metrics, and emailing PDFs to multiple clients.

With no centralized data, the company had no visibility into NPT trends or performance benchmarking across rigs. AFE tracking was done in separate Excel spreadsheets, leading to budget overruns on multiple jobs.

The Solution

The contractor implemented RigReports across all 6 rigs. Rig supervisors now enter data throughout the day instead of waiting until end of shift. RigReports automatically calculates all metrics and generates standardized reports. The approval workflow ensures quality control, and automated email delivery eliminates manual sending.
