How Stepwise delivers improvement
Set up and establish the baseline
- Align objectives, scope, governance and success criteria
- Configure the asset structure and establish governed access to relevant data
- Build a verified baseline, identify Significant Energy Users and prioritise improvement opportunities
Plan and execute action
- Select priority initiatives based on the verified baseline
- Define responsibilities and integrate actions into operational plans
- Track execution, dependencies and leading performance indicators
Measure and verify impact
- Measure actual energy, emissions and operational outcomes
- Compare results against the baseline, targets and expectations
- Validate the data and produce credible, defensible result summaries
Optimise and repeat
- Capture lessons from completed and verified initiatives
- Update benchmarks and identify opportunities for replication
- Feed verified learning into the next planning cycle to strengthen performance over time
Your performance profile
- Fuel and energy use per day and per metre drilled
- Time and energy split by operational phase
- Performance against baseline, target and prior wells
- Improvement initiatives, with status and verified impact
- Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, reported as an output of the above
Stepwise case study
"Stepwise's software provides us as operators with more clarity to speak with regulators and the wider public about what it is that we do when we're trying to fight the argument around using our own assets within the UKCS vs importing oil and gas from elsewhere."

"Stepwise SmartSaver complemented the way we work at AOC. Observation cards and short briefs made it easy for supervisors to reinforce actions. The tone stayed positive, with safety first and efficiency always in view. We're looking forward to the next one."

"In 2023 we drilled four wells resulting in 41 kilotons of CO2e. Since then we have worked on both performance and monitoring, and average fuel consumption has fallen from 48 to 42 m³/day. For our next four-well scope we are looking at a 30% reduction overall — from 41 kilotons to 30 kilotons of CO2e."
Basis: Four-well programme, like-for-like scope. Daily average fuel across the campaign. Forward figure is the client's own target, not a delivered result.

"The key advantage of Stepwise is its ability to understand the rig's power allocation and find ways to reduce its power consumption and to help us achieve our end objectives to reduce power consumption and Green House Gases."

"Through collaboration across the operator, drilling contractor and service partners, we lowered the fuel consumption of a 5th-generation semi-submersible to levels comparable to a high-efficiency jack-up, achieving significant performance improvements on a well-on-well basis."
Basis: Like-for-like well-on-well comparison, UKCS, multi-operator campaign. Measured against an established rig baseline.

"Stepwise has allowed us to reliably measure the emission intensity of our wells across our global operations. The digitalisation, as well as the API integration with other software, has made the process seamless and supported our standardisation efforts. This, in turn, will enable us to compare different assets in different geographies, share lessons learned and recommended ERIs by the Stepwise subject matter experts, and confidently plan future wells or field developments based on a calculated and auditable carbon footprint."

"Stepwise has provided us with contextualized emission insights and expert analysis active across several rigs. This sets us up with the information and capabilities to work with our clients in pursuit of sustainable reductions in operational emissions while continuing to deliver industry-leading performance."

"Our collaboration with Stepwise aligns with our sustainability strategy for managing and controlling emission reduction in our drilling operations. The partnership has assisted us in meeting our environmental targets and setting the pace for the industry."

"It’s critical for us to prove and show our clients and investors the factual carbon reduction we have made through active management of carbon intensive assets/investment. This is the tool to avoid the “green washing” in our industry."
