In this paper we present DrillEdge — a commercial and award‐winning software system that monitors oil well drilling operations in order to reduce nonproductive time (NPT). DrillEdge utilizes case‐based reasoning with temporal representations on streaming real‐ime data, pattern matching, and agent systems to predict problems and give advice on how to mitigate the problems. We document the methods utilized, the architecture, the GUI. and the development cost in addition to two case studies.
