We flipped our last paper permit to a digital control‑of‑work system on a West Texas rig this week, pulling permit, energy isolation, and SIMOPS approvals into one gate in the 24‑hr plan. It’s improving traceability and barrier management, but it’s added about 25 minutes to pre‑tour, so I’m recalibrating the schedule without compromising safety — anyone else seeing the same tradeoff?
