In today’s technology-driven era, lasers have seamlessly woven themselves into our daily lives. From Lidar Technology, which warns us of impending earthquakes, to Laser Line Levels that assist in the construction of safe homes (and even help us to hang our favorite artwork on the living room walls), lasers are as essential to our well-being as food and shelter.
As the world approached the end of the 20th century, the laser made a most profound mark on the Oil and Gas industry by establishing as the Laser Tally.
Here at Superior Performance, Inc. we are particularly aware of the benefits of the Laser Tally but does everyone know how this indispensable innovation came onto the scene? Let’s dive in!
The Birth of the Laser Tally
The concept of Laser Tallys emerged from the need to accurately track tubulars during drilling and completion processes. Before its advent, manual tallying was time-consuming and prone to errors. Imagine the challenges:
Manual Measurement:
Crew members physically measuring each tubular using tape measures or other tools.
This process was not only slow but also introduced inaccuracies.
Human Error:
Recording lengths manually - meaning that human error could creep in—whether due to fatigue, distractions, or simple oversight.
Inventory Challenges:
Keeping track of inventory and ensuring seamless operations was a daunting task. Miscounts and discrepancies were common.
A change was imminent.
The LASER, short for “Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation,” emerged from decades of scientific observations, ideas and testing:
And so, the Laser Era was born.
And so, this is how the Laser Tally came into existence and transformed Offshore and Onshore well production, leaving behind the days of manual tallying.
Laser Scanning: A laser beam is projected onto the tubular, precisely measuring its length.
Instant Data: The system instantly captures the measurement data, eliminating the need for manual recording.
Efficiency Boost: With Laser Tallys, rig crews can quickly verify tubular lengths, track inventory, and ensure seamless operations.
Automation and Efficiency: Every joint of pipe arriving at a rig prep facility is measured and racked in a first-in-last-out manner. As a Superior Performance Customer, your records are based on individual SPI numbers, reducing overall manual effort when locating your inventory.
Measurements need not be taken when shipping pipe out of the yard, saving you time and money on every transaction.
The Laser Tallys used by Superior Performance, Inc. Field Service Supervisors are non-hazardous Class II rated and pose no threat to workers.
Additionally, Laser Tally utilization eliminates the need for rig personnel to stand on pipe racks to obtain measurements, which makes it a much safer solution.
