Field dispatch & scheduling · Oilfield & gas services
Crews mobilized to the right job on time.
Work orders land from three operators, and one wrong well-pad match deadheads a frac unit two hundred miles. The schedule lives in a head and a radio.
The reality
Dispatch is a resource-allocation problem.
Work orders come in from three operators at once, the right crew and equipment have to be matched to each well pad, and a mismatch means a unit deadheads two hundred miles while another job waits. The schedule lives in someone's head and the radio.
The operator reads the incoming work order, assigns the crew and equipment, confirms mobilization with the field, and tracks the job to completion — keeping every unit allocated against demand instead of guessing.
