A Liquid Waste is a company that provides drilling and completion (D&C) tanker services to a
number of drilling companies in the Surat Basin region. Typically this involves locating a prime
mover (truck) and an operator with possibly other equipment such as a tanker trailer unit, a flock
tank(s) and a loader on site during the well drilling assignment. The key services provided by the
client include:
 Sucking up the excess mud and water arising from the drilling process.
 Disposing of this waste off-site.
 Trucking non-potable water on-site for use by the drilling rig.
 Providing flock tanks.
 Provision of and operation of a loader.
 Provision and operation of a tipper.
 Provision of a second on-site operator to cover for an extended shift for one client that
only normally contracts JJR D&C for one 12 hour shift during a 24 hour period.
During the working shift, the workers are required to record on an hourly breakdown basis the
services provided or whether they were on standby or stood down. The details are currently
captured on paper in a Daily Well Report (DWR) and are signed off by the D&C tanker operator
and usually countersigned by a company representative at the end of the shift.
The client demanded a tablet based mobile application that can automate its paper based system
to an electronic system and help transmit the details of the DWRs to the central SharePoint
repository. This will enable better tracking and auditing of the work provided for each drill site.
The application will also track the actual hours worked by each operator by using the tablet to
record their detailed information. Also, the tablet will capture details regarding the vehicle
number, vehicle check list, equipments, daily starting odometer, engine hours, hubometer
readings of the prime mover (truck) and the trailer units.
The mobile application will help the client in various ways by:
 Replicating paperwork to an automated system
 Capture signatures
 Capture images of the drilling company forms as necessary
 Capture employee payroll hours for exact billing purpose
 Reporting capability
Client Requirement
Project Challenges
Team faced the following challenges:
 Design and develop a mobile application specific to Windows Motion F5te Tablet with
optimized resolution.
 Signature SDK integration came as a major challenge to the team with respect to the
Windows Motion F5te Tablet.
 Implemented photos feature for submitting documents
 Implemented PDF based reports generation& printing PDF reports
 The web services were built by the client using SharePoint and this was integrated by
the team in the applicationso that reports can be run against this information by the
client.
