We translate ground models directly into drilling behaviour rather than relying on averaged productivity assumptions. Geological layers, transitions and controlling intervals are explicitly represented so that drilling duration reflects the actual stratigraphic conditions encountered during installation

Alternative execution assumptions can be tested within the same geological framework. Scenario modelling allows planners to understand how changes in drilling approach, operational allowances or programme assumptions influence the resulting drilling duration ranges.

Operational drivers such as drilling method, tooling configuration, penetration behaviour and operational constraints are modelled independently from geology. This separation makes it clear which elements of programme duration are governed by ground conditions and which arise from execution decisions.

Every step in the modelling process is traceable to the underlying inputs and assumptions. The calculation structure is transparent, allowing engineers, planners and reviewers to understand how duration ranges are constructed rather than relying on opaque spreadsheet outputs.

StrataScope highlights the geological intervals most likely to control drilling duration. By identifying slow-ground dominance and stratigraphic transitions early, the model exposes where programme risk is concentrated rather than distributing duration evenly across the profile.

All geological interpretations, operational allowances and modelling assumptions are documented within a structured register. This ensures the duration assessment can be audited, reviewed and challenged, supporting confident decision-making at FEED, design and governance stages.
