9. // Marathon Custom Metrics
◦ What gets measured gets monitored
◦ Provide clear line-of-sight into program
drivers based on cycle times
◦ Data is both granular and aggregated for
analysis
◦ Specialized codes allow for tracking of key
components by group (e.g. land, regulatory,
drilling, etc.)
◦ KPIs and metrics leveraged for improved
operational and financial planning

10. // Marathon Custom Report
◦ Historical planning tools were separate and not
combined
◦ Lack of integration prevented delay analysis/impact
and resource evaluation
◦ Current state: Primavera P6 with customized,
graphical reporting from Acumen Fuse
◦ New reports leverage “data rich” format
◦ Allow asset management and senior leaders to
assess health of well inventory
◦ Highlights “idle” or wasted time for crews, rigs, etc
