Following in the footsteps
of a true pioneer
In the race to be first to the South Pole, Roald Amundsen knew the value
of experience. He lived with the Inuit to learn their survival secrets.
It helped him to conquer the Pole and lead his team safely home.
There’s no substitute for experience.
AGR’s track record inspires confidence: 400 wells in ten years. 1,000 reservoir studies in five years. Tailored training courses run in 45 countries for more than 25,000 people. Experience is essential when it comes to adding value to our client’s operations around the world.

Software Solutions
P1™
See the unforeseen.
From planning onwards, P1™ can be utilised to monitor and improve well construction performance and to evaluate options in the event of a problem. The software accounts for the fact that risks in well design are not intuitive, and that sometimes the lowest cost option may carry the greatest business risk.
P1™ adds value and knowledge throughout the project management process, from project selection, conceptual design right through to programme execution.
P1™ is focused upon those customers who have in-sourced their well construction operations and have a desire to improve business performance.
P1™ is now available with
Well Cost Tracker
WCT is a real time Well Cost Trackerthat complements AGR’s P1™ probability software. By incorporating the estimated costs for the individual phases and cost items that comprise a project, managers can more accurately track the financial status of drilling projects. It lets you do more than excel.

™
Let us introduce you to problem
solving.
M2™ is a Materials Management software programme
designed by AGR for the oil and gas industry that continually tracks the movement of equipment from the moment of selection, through the supply chain to its eventual return.
Tracking equipment sounds easy and in theory it is but how often has yours been misplaced or lost? Relax. M2™
puts you in total control over the movement of equipment and prevents loss and unnecessary costs.
Unlike most systems in the marketplace, M2™ was
developed by the user for the user: • Full audit trail
• Continuous tracking through the supply chain • Multi currency capability
• Intuitive and easy to use with basic training • Works for the user not the other way round! • No paperwork required
• Simple installation process for this low footprint application
• Can support up to 500 concurrent users.
At AGR, we are highly experienced in developing software for use
within the oil and gas industry. Each of our systems is applied in-house
at AGR which means they are tried, tested and trusted, providing real
