Telemetry for Drilling Operations

Digital Drilling Rig

Matrix Track's Digital Drilling Rig solution turns every rig into a connected asset. Engine hours, utilization, fuel burn and idle time stream in from the most remote sites — over cellular or satellite — so drilling contractors and site managers know exactly how each rig is performing and when it needs service.

Capabilities

Complete telemetry for every rig on every site

Engine Hours Tracking

Automatic engine-hour logging for every rig replaces manual hour meters and gives you a precise record for billing, service and warranty claims.

Utilization Monitoring

See exactly when each rig is drilling, standing by or down — and compare utilization across rigs, crews and sites to lift output.

Fuel Consumption Analytics

Measure fuel burn per rig, per shift and per operating hour to expose waste, theft and over-consumption at remote locations.

Idle vs Productive Time

Separate productive drilling hours from idling and standby, so you can act on the hidden costs eating into every shift.

Maintenance Scheduling

Service intervals driven by real engine hours — not guesswork — with automatic reminders raised before breakdowns happen.

Satellite Connectivity

Rigs in deserts and other off-grid sites report over satellite when there is no cellular network, so no location is ever out of reach.

How It Works

From remote rig to live dashboard in four steps

1

Instrument the Rig

Telemetry hardware connects to the rig's engine and fuel system, capturing hours, consumption and activity.

2

Transmit from Anywhere

Data travels over cellular where available and switches to satellite automatically at remote sites.

3

Analyze Utilization

Dashboards break down drilling, idle and downtime per rig, per crew and per site in real time.

4

Plan Maintenance

Engine-hour thresholds trigger service alerts and schedules, keeping every rig productive and available.

Business Impact

What your company gains

Up to 20%

Lower fuel costs

Idle reduction and fuel monitoring cut consumption on equipment that burns hundreds of litres a day.

Verified

Billable hours

Accurate, tamper-proof engine-hour records back up client invoicing and end disputes over rig time.

Fewer

Breakdowns

Hour-based maintenance scheduling catches wear before it becomes a failure at a remote site where repairs cost the most.

Real-time

Site visibility

Every rig on every site visible from one dashboard — no phone calls, spreadsheets or site visits needed.

100%

Remote coverage

Satellite connectivity keeps rigs reporting from deserts, mountains and other locations far beyond cellular range.

Fast

Return on investment

Fuel savings, higher utilization and fewer breakdowns typically pay back the system within the first drilling season.
