Cost per meter drilled, settled at the engine.
Per-engine fuel monitoring across drilling rigs of any size: main engine, mud pumps, generators, compressors. Per-job consumption rolls up automatically, billable hours are timestamped, and theft at remote sites is detected the same day.
What you have today
A drilling job can run for days with several engines contributing to one fuel bill. Remote sites, subcontractors, and rig moves make it hard to prove which engine, which job, and which client should own each liter.
What we add
DFM on each engine plus DUT-E in the site bunker gives per-job, per-engine accountability. Start and end timestamps are geofenced, liters per meter drilled are one calculation away, and theft alerts still work when the site needs satellite backhaul.
A complete drilling job: every engine, every phase, every liter.
Per-job timelines show main engine, mud pumps, generator load, and bunker context across setup, drilling, casing, and completion phases.
- Per-engine timelines - main, mud pumps, and generators plotted across the job.
- Phase totals - setup, drilling, casing, and completion segmented automatically.
- Anomaly detection - bunker drops, abnormal generator load, and high liters-per-meter surface immediately.
Engine-only tracking, or bunker-to-engine reconciliation.
Single-rig contractors often start with engine-side flow meters. Multi-rig fleets and remote-site operators add bunker monitoring to close the loop and detect losses.

Multi-engine drilling telemetry from bunker to billing.
DFM meters daisy-chain across the rig, optional bunker sensing closes the fuel loop, and the gateway can roam across cellular or satellite depending on site conditions.
Common drilling results from this setup.
Comparing similar formations across six rigs revealed a repeat pressure-loss pattern, and the operational fix reduced liters-per-meter by nearly 12%.
DFM plus DUT-E with satellite gateway reconciled bunker deliveries against engine totals, eliminating the prior site-shrinkage line item.
The billable fuel report is now generated when the rig leaves the site instead of being assembled at month-end.
