Shell is pursuing digital solutions for the wells organisation and recognises that the team at Stimline is well set-up to provide agile development of the IDEX platform to work within the wider Shell digital environment. We’ve been particularly impressed with the engagement level from the Stimline team. This team understands what it takes to deliver in a timely manner and we look forward to working with them.

We have used the IDEX platform on all of our completion projects delivered by STEP since 2018. The software effectively facilitates a collaborative environment between our companies and delivers real-time oversight during operations. We have realized numerous benefits to our operational processes and have optimized the efficiency of our projects to successfully millout all wells to TD. This translates into times savings and contributes to our company's financial discipline with respect to our capex programs.

In addition, Aker BP’s Onshore Collaboration Centers (OCCs) play an integral role in the Alliance’s ability to leverage digitalization, Fig. 1. The OCCs utilize the cloud-based Stimline IDEX suite of solutions for planning and execution, providing access to live and fully liberated data from all operations to improve transparency and operational follow-up amongst the Alliance partners.

Our Digital Strategy is critical to improved efficiency in the Intervention & Stimulation Alliance. Accurate planning, collaborative operations and full transparency in decision making are all expected within the Alliance. Having access to all of the latest data, information and analyses at all times, from wherever you are, is required to make this a reality. IDEX has already shown us how we can benefit from a truly collaborative platform. 

The transition to IDEX in our operations was simple, and I'm glad we've made the switch - the software is very intuitive, customizable, easy to use and has great displays of all key data to ensure that our jobs run smoothly. It is great to work with a company who request feedback and ideas and act on them quickly! Lastly, the capabilities of this software are incredible and I look forward to our expanded use of this system to truly see its ultimate potential throughout our company.

With IDEX Designer our job planning has been drastically improved. We can now create models much faster so we can support all of our North Sea wireline operations more effectively than before.

The initial application, IDEX Designer, had great features and was certainly easy to use. Throughout the initial launch phase, we collaborated with Stimline to test that the hydraulic and force models generated by Designer were verified by field-data so that our clients were confident in the technology. Having the ability to use the same platform, for various functions during a project with all our information in one place, reduces the risk of errors associated with duplicating data. The integration of IDEX into our programming certainly makes our lives a lot easier.
