Halliburton Drill Depth Reports

The Challenge

I was referred to Halliburton to assist in redesigning a selection of printable reports for their drilling equipment. Their current reports were not expandable and could not be shared by similar functioning teams. Not to mention they were pretty awful to look at.

The Approach

Despite the complexity of the required output, this was a very simple user centered approach. I met with the project sponsors to understand where their major frustrations were and to do my best to understand the data points and what they represent.

The Final Product

What I helped the company settle on is a clean, easy to understand, and visually appealing record of drill activity with modular components that can be reused.

The Impact

TIME and MONEY. For a company the size of Halliburton, having reusable components that can be shared to different functioning areas can easily translate to savings in the hundreds of millions of dollars, and hundreds of thousands of man hours. No need to create custom components for each print type. No need for additional training on their use.
