Is start up non-productive time costing you a fortune?
During drilling start up, the last headaches you need are DCS problems causing costly non-productive time (NPT) delays. And yet, according to recent studies, DCS issues are doing just that – to the tune of $600,000 USD PER DAY in NPT costs. Costs that could last for months.
