01Drilling engineer · Drilling engineers, well planners
Build the plan once. Watch it hold, or not, every day.
You own the well plan. Drillcost turns it into the baseline everyone works against and shows, operation by operation, where the well is drifting from it.

What you do
Your work, in one place.
- 01
Plan phase by phase
Lay out phases and operations with planned time, depth, cost and materials. Hole sizes, casing points and rig time sit in one structure instead of a spreadsheet per well.
- 02
Keep a shared catalogue
Operations and materials live in a company catalogue, so the next plan starts from proven building blocks and every well is costed the same way.
- 03
Submit for approval
Send the plan for review. Comments and decisions stay on the plan, and approval saves the baseline automatically.
- 04
Finalise daily reports
Review what the field recorded and finalise the day’s report. The draft is already waiting each morning.
Handled for you
The details, worked out.

- Overruns split into rig time, extra materials and prices paid
- The approved baseline is kept for every comparison
- An AFE PDF export from the approved plan
