Run the engineering live on your shift data. Eleven calculation modules for shakers, hydrocyclones, centrifuges, dilution economics and mud engineering — with report-ready output and an AI engineering director. Grounded in API RP 13C · 13B-1/13B-2 · 13D.
Most solids-control decisions are still made on feel — not because the math is hard, but because there is no time to run it at 3 a.m. Rig IQ closes that gap. It turns the standard solids-control, drilling-fluids and waste-management calculations into fast, per-unit answers you can run on live rig data, size in dollars, and drop straight into a report. It is vendor-neutral and built from 26+ years in the field.
Each module runs the accepted field calculation, returns the result and its interpretation, and feeds the report.
Drilled-solids balance and dilution economics — the true cost of an under-performing pit train.
Screen selection, G-force and capacity against flow and solids rate, to API RP 13C cut points.
Desander and desilter feed head, cut point and recovery.
Decanter G-force (RCF), feed rate, cut point, cake dryness and solids recovery.
Feed-pump sizing, total dynamic head and feed-head matching.
Tank turnover and agitation to keep the mud uniform.
Particle-size distribution, D50/D100 and settling behaviour.
Retort, OWR, chloride, alkalinity, LGS/HGS split and weight-up.
Cuttings volume, retention-on-cuttings and disposal economics.
Sag and non-productive-time risk indicators before they cost you.
A fast rig-wide solids-control health check with a score.
Enter your shift numbers and get the answer for your shaker, your cyclone, your centrifuge — not a generic table.
Every calculation carries the cost, so you can defend a screen change or a centrifuge tweak in dollars.
Results come formatted for the daily solids-control report — minutes, not a rebuilt spreadsheet.
An assistant that reads the numbers with you and flags what matters, grounded in the standards.
API RP 13C for cut points, 13B-1/13B-2 for fluid testing, 13D for hydraulics — the same references you're held to.
No brand agenda. The numbers are the numbers — built from 26+ years on the rig.
Flow rate, mud properties, equipment settings, ROP — whatever the module needs, straight off the shift.
Rig IQ returns the calculation, the interpretation, and the dollar impact where it applies.
Drop it into a report, or ask the AI director what to change next. Measured, not guessed.
Mud engineers sizing a dilution program. Solids-control specialists tuning a centrifuge. Drilling supervisors defending a fluid cost. Independent consultants who need a fast, standards-grounded answer they can stand behind. If your job is the clean side of the well, Rig IQ is your calculator, your economics model and your report — in one place.
Open Rig IQ →Rig IQ is SC DrillTech's field engineering platform for solids control and drilling-waste management. It runs per-unit calculations on live shift data across 11 modules, sizes the dilution economics, and generates report-ready output — with an AI engineering director to help read the numbers. It is grounded in API RP 13C, 13B and 13D.
No. Rig IQ runs in your web browser, with a free tour. It works from the rig, the office or your phone.
API RP 13C for shaker-screen labelling and cut points, API RP 13B-1/13B-2 for drilling-fluid testing, and API RP 13D for hydraulics — the references used in the field.
Yes. Rig IQ carries no brand agenda — the calculations follow the standards and the physics, built from 26+ years of independent field experience.
Mud engineers, solids-control specialists, drilling supervisors and independent consultants who need fast, standards-grounded answers on shakers, cyclones, centrifuges, dilution and drilling waste.
