I heard there's a new AI‑driven drilling system that could slash our downtime by half—could we talk numbers?
Sure, let’s cut the fluff. How many hours a month do we actually lose to downtime right now? And what’s the price tag for this AI rig? If the math adds up, we’ll consider it. If not, it’s another fancy gadget to put in the bin.
About 200 hours a month, roughly 5‑6 % of our peak capacity. The AI rig runs on a $2.3 million capex plus $300 k a year in maintenance. If that math fits the ROI, we move forward—otherwise it’s a toy.
