Software
The industry’s preferred software
Extended Reach Architect (ERA) software platform from K&M is lightning fast, and field proven.
Intuitive and user-focused
ERA features a dynamic and user-friendly environment that allows engineers to better understand the loads, stresses, and pressures encountered during well construction.
We created this platform to solve well construction problems that engineers face every day. This first-of-its-kind software places the user in a position to visualize the impact that design changes have on the overall construction process. Inputs are linked throughout each phase of well construction. Changes made to solve a particular problem are automatically accounted for in all subsequent operations, with results displayed immediately.
Accurate
For more than 20 years, K&M has built a reputation based on the accuracy of our software. ERA algorithms are field-proven and used on a daily basis on the most challenging wells in the world. When it has to be right, would you trust anything other than field-proven drilling software?
Take it for a test-drive
K&M is happy to demonstrate the key features of ERA or provide complimentary 14-day licenses for our clients to experience the speed, power, and versatility of this best-in-class software.

ERA Live
ERA Live adds the power of the cloud to ERA, allowing for seamless collaboration, WITSML Streaming, and browser-based visualizations.
The best gets even better
ERA Live is a cloud based add-on to ERA that makes ERA even more efficient. ERA Live permits greater team collaboration through cloud based file sharing along with streaming of real-time operational data from the rig’s electronic drilling recorder (EDR), which greatly improves the user’s efficiency while monitoring drilling operations. ERA Live also publishes results to web browser-based dashboards, where they can be viewed by your whole team in real time, allowing for better collaboration.
View Live ERA plots from anywhere with ERA Live Dashboards
With ERA Live’s Dashboards, ERA’s plots with both the model and the actual data are published to a web based browser that can be accessed from anywhere. This permits all team members to be looking at the same information at the same time, improving operational efficiency and decision-making.
ERA Live Benefits
Security
Feel comfortable having your company’s data in the cloud with ERA Live, which has been developed using Microsoft’s Azure cloud system, one of the most secure cloud-based systems available. ERA Live is also structured to ensure each customer’s data is stored separately, ensuring maximum security.
Cloud Processing
Utilize the cloud’s computing power to your advantage. By processing the data in the cloud, this ensures that ERA’s performance is not compromised when handling wells with large amounts of data.
Team Communication
With ERA Live’s Dashboards, ERA’s plots with both the model and the actual data are published to a web based browser that can be accessed from anywhere. This permits all team members to be looking at the same information at the same time, improving operational efficiency and decision-making.
Meaningful Models - Always
With ERA Live, you always have control over the published model, so you never feel handcuffed to incorrect models or assumptions. If something changes operationally, the model can be adjusted and republished quickly, so your team is always making well informed decisions.
