New Features


Activity Inherits Type from Task


When creating a new activity within a procedure, the system now automatically sets the activity type to match the corresponding task type. This ensures consistency and reduces manual adjustments.



Assign Lanes to Tasks in Timeplanner


Users can now assign a lane to an entire task, just like for activities. When a lane is set at the task level, all associated activities automatically inherit the same value, ensuring consistency and reducing manual input.



Step Code Now Hidden in Procedures


The Step Code field is hidden when creating a new step in procedures. This change applies across the entire application.



Removed Timeplan Template and Plan Items from Library


The Library now only includes Procedure Templates. Timeplan templates and plan items have been removed to focus on procedure-related templates only.



Improved Padding for Code Column


The padding for the Code column has been adjusted to ensure consistent spacing in all scenarios.



AkerBP: Improved PLANS Import from AGR for Better Usability


When importing new timeplans from AGR PLANS, users will now have an easier time finding the right file and selecting the relevant information. Instead of a raw list of files, the files will now be sorted by their last updated timestamp, making it simpler to locate the most recent plans. Date separators such as “Today,” “Yesterday,” and “Earlier” will further improve clarity. Additionally, the last sync time will be displayed, ensuring users know when the list was last refreshed.



To prevent incorrect budget data from being included in early-stage plans, users will now have the option to exclude budget numbers (P10, AFE, and P90 fields) during import. A new toggle labeled “Include budget numbers” (on by default) will allow for this selection before finalizing the import.



Furthermore, the import process has been enhanced to include Activity Level Planned Depth, ensuring more comprehensive data transfer. Better error reporting has also been implemented, providing clear messages when an import fails or takes longer than expected, helping users troubleshoot issues effectively.


Complete and Updated Well and Wellbore List in OPEN


The well list in OPEN has been updated to ensure completeness. Previously, only a partial and potentially outdated list was retrieved from Halliburton EDM. This has now been corrected, and all wells are included. Additionally, corresponding wellbores are now properly added to Smarthub.



Bug Fixes


  • Changes rollback in P1 Import Phase (Scope Lost Discovery Type on Activities): The issue where activities set to "Discovery" reverted to the default type has been fixed. All task codes now import correctly, performance has been stabilized, and activity/task types remain consistent.


  • Screen jumps when saving: The screen jump issue after saving has been resolved. Users no longer experience disorientation during saves, even with latency or connection issues, and can see a visual confirmation of successful saves.


  • Frequent confusing error message in Timeplanner AkerBP: The error message that would frequently push users back to the homescreen has been fixed. Users now stay on the page they were working on without unexpected navigation interruptions.


  • Execution View skipping step comment: Comments added while skipping steps in Execution View are now visible in Open. Users can see all comments as expected when reviewing procedures.
  • Not able to edit latecomer non-rapable activities: The issue preventing users from editing descriptions of "non-rapable" latecomer activities has been fixed. Descriptions can now be edited directly without needing to delete and recreate activities.


  • **Phase name missing in time/depth curve: **The phase name issue in the time/depth curve has been resolved. The correct phase name now appears as expected.


  • Issues viewing different revisions on a procedure: Users can now view and download all revisions of a procedure. The revision list is now complete, allowing users to access the correct version.
  • User can change order of started and completed activities in procedures: The issue allowing users to rearrange started or completed activities has been fixed. Only activities that have not started are now allowed to be rearranged.


  • Timeplans don't match up on AkerBP Open report site: The mismatch issue between timeplans and procedures when switching tabs has been fixed. Timeplans now sync correctly.


  • Actual Time input allowed in Draft plans: The issue allowing users to enter Actual Time in Draft plans has been fixed. The field is now correctly disabled in both quick-edit and Edit Activity.


  • Missing activity code feedback in Timeplanner: Fixed issue where saving an activity without an activity code gave no feedback. Users now see a message and the Save button stays inactive until a code is entered.
