Challenge

Field engineers needed a more sophisticated way to monitor drill-head positioning and predict trajectories using sensor and survey data, but the company lacked the technical expertise to develop the required solution.

Solution

Real-time Trajectory Prediction

Toptal developed a path-prediction engine that estimated drilling toolface and trajectory, identified deviations from the planned well path, and enabled field engineers to take corrective action.

Integrated Monitoring Platform

Toptal built a real-time data pipeline for capturing, validating, and storing drilling telemetry and developed 2D and 3D dashboards for visualizing well trajectories, survey points, and live device data.

Outcome

Smoother Drilling Operations

Near real-time monitoring and trajectory prediction reduced the need for manual intervention and improved trajectory control workflows, contributing to smoother field operations.

Production-ready Monitoring

Toptal transformed the initial prototype into a scalable Flask-based architecture, delivering a stable system that could be deployed across operational machines for ongoing monitoring and trajectory prediction.
