Enabling full visibility in drilling operations
This document discusses enabling full visibility in drilling operations through leveraging technology to monitor and collect data from rig operations. It outlines how current monitoring involves separate systems that could be better integrated for improved visibility. The benefits of integration include less reporting time, using measured data for reports, additional revenue streams, integrated offline systems, and improved key performance indicators (KPIs) for all parties. Overcoming risks like integration efforts and company resistance is discussed. Solutions proposed include discrete high-value solutions and changing procedures with operator help. Underlying technology is available to connect systems through analog/digital interfaces and standard formats.

- 4. Is this useful? Benefits For the Field Personnel - Less time writing reports - Report use measured data For the Rig Owner - Additional stream of revenue - Integrate offline systems (BOP, Generators) - KPIs based on data For the Operator - Simple access to more information - Stop the finger-pointing - Real KPIs
- 5. Is this even possible? One step at a time Risk factors: - Integration of all systems takes significant effort - Resistance from Service Companies Approach to minimize risks: - Implementation of discreet solutions with high value - Work with Operators to change procedures Technology is available: - All systems include analog or digital interfaces. - Formats/Protocols are well known. - Implementation has been successful in previous projects.
- 6. What are these translators you talk about? Available technology Platform - Small form factor - Digital I/O - Network connectivity - Serial connections Uses - Translation from equipment output to unified platform - Control Interface - Data Processing (KPIs)
- 7. Is that all? Additional areas of opportunity BOP Testing - Service based model - Does away with the Circular Recording Chart BOP Nuclear Football™ - Remote control of Critical Equipment and BOP - Allows safely BOP Activation outside of the location Drilling Black Box™ - Maximum visibility even in case of total failure - Potential to negotiate rates with insurance co.
