Drilling & Well Engineering
Cut idle well-engineering seats without ever denying a live operation.
Open iT meters and safely recovers licenses for the Halliburton Landmark suite (StressCheck, WellCat), WellPlan, COMPASS, and Peloton WellView and ProdView, using a method matched to real-time work.
- See true demand behind the just-in-case seat count
- Recover idle seats with Landmark suspend and resume
- Take clean terminate-only wins on Peloton tools
Drilling runs around the clock, so teams over-buy to be safe. The safety margin is where the idle cost lives.
A license denial during a live drilling operation is unacceptable, so well-engineering teams provision for the worst case and hold seats just in case. The result is a suite that looks fully subscribed and sits mostly idle between the moments that matter. Cutting seats blindly is not an option when a 3 a.m. calculation cannot wait.
You do not have to choose between availability and cost. The Halliburton Landmark tools support suspend and resume, so an idle seat is handed back to the pool and the engineer who returns is resuming a session they already held, not requesting a new one. Access is instant, and the seats nobody is using go back to work elsewhere.
What Open iT Does
1
See true demand across the drilling suite.
Open iT records concurrent usage, elapsed time, and denials for StressCheck, WellCat, WellPlan, and COMPASS, so you can see the real peak behind the padded, just-in-case count.
2
Protect the 3 a.m. session by design.
With suspend and resume, only idle seats are handed back, and a returning engineer resumes instantly. Thresholds are tuned with your operations leads before anything goes live, so recovery never lands during active work.
3
Take the easy wins on Peloton tools.
Ongoing reporting keeps recovered spend visible, so a program that pays for itself is renewed rather than quietly dropped after the first wins.
4
Prove the savings and keep them.
Ongoing reporting keeps recovered spend visible, so a program that pays for itself is renewed rather than quietly dropped after the first wins.

24/7 Harvesting Readiness
Well engineering runs around the clock, so a denial is never acceptable. Check whether your estate is safe to harvest and how much of the just-in-case buffer you could reclaim.
1. Readiness check
Tick what is true today.
Method fit. Appears here once you answer.
2. Reclaim the safety buffer
StressCheck, WellCat, WellPlan, COMPASS, Peloton tools.
Share of seats held for safety beyond real peak demand.
Conservative share, protected by suspend and resume. You control it.
estimated recoverable per year from the buffer
- Total annual drilling-suite spend
- $0
- Held in the just-in-case buffer
- $0
How this is calculated
Total spend = seats × annual cost per seat. Buffer spend = total × just-in-case buffer. Safe to reclaim = buffer spend × the safe share. The readiness score counts favorable conditions. Method fit reflects that Landmark tools support suspend and resume, while Peloton WellView and ProdView are safe to terminate because there is no unsaved work.
All rates are your inputs, not Open iT claims. Real concurrency and denials are measured once Open iT is connected.
For planning discussion only. Active operations are never harvested. Actual recoverable spend depends on measured demand and thresholds agreed with your operations team.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if an engineer needs a license at 3 a.m.?
Their held session resumes instantly. Suspend and resume means they pick up a session they already had, not wait for a new license.
Which drilling applications can Open iT meter?
The Halliburton Landmark suite including StressCheck and WellCat, plus WellPlan, COMPASS, and Peloton WellView and ProdView.
Will harvesting ever interrupt a live operation?
No. Thresholds are set with your operations team so only idle seats are recovered, never active work.
Which method is used for which tool?
Landmark tools use suspend and resume. Peloton WellView and ProdView use terminate, since there is no unsaved work to preserve.
The fear is a denial at the worst possible moment. Suspend and resume removes it: active work is never touched, the 3 a.m. session resumes on the spot, and the idle seats quietly go back to the pool. Availability and savings, at the same time.
