Strategies for
the New Standard
Operators don’t need another vendor—they need structure where none has existed. Savant FM delivers it.
To support different operational environments, Savant FM offers two pathways to implement this structure:
1. Full Fixed Cost‑Per‑Foot Model
A complete, integrated system where Savant FM providers our preferred vendors in fluids, fluid conditioning system, and waste management as one accountable unit. This model replaces traditional vendor fragmentation with a single, performance‑driven structure tied directly to cost per foot.
2. 60/40 Savings Split Model
For operators seeking immediate performance improvement without altering their existing vendor stack, Savant FM offers a low‑friction alternative. Benchmarking is established across five in‑line wells to create a transparent baseline, and all current vendors and equipment remain in place. The only personnel replaced are the mud engineers and solids control hands, who are substituted with Savant Certified Operators. There are no upfront charges and no SCO day rates. Savant FM retains 40% of verified savings while the operator receives 60%, capturing the full performance benefits of a structured, system‑driven drilling fluid and solids control model.
Both models deliver the same outcome:
A structured, accountable system that turns drilling fluids, solids control, and waste into predictable performance—finally measured, finally managed, and finally aligned with operator goals.
