Decision-Making in Adverse Conditions
When a hurricane approaches, operators and drilling contractors face the tough decision of whether to unlatch their Blowout Preventers (BOPs) and bring them to the surface or to continue operations. This decision carries significant operational and financial implications.
Our FSEs provide expert recommendations based on real-time data and experience, ensuring that all operational actions comply with CFR, API, and BSEE regulations.
Compliance and Safety Assurance
Our FSEs meticulously follow regulatory guidelines to maintain safety and compliance. They perform detailed inspections and tests to verify that all equipment is functioning correctly and that the operations are secure.
Whether the BOPs remain in place or are brought back to the surface, our engineers ensure that every step is documented and compliant with the relevant standards.
Real-Time Monitoring and Support
During such critical times, our cloud-based Oculus platform plays a pivotal role. It allows our RTOC Team to continue 24/7 BOP monitoring remotely, providing continuous support and oversight even when physical access to the rigs is hindered by the hurricane. This capability ensures that our FSEs have up-to-date information to make informed decisions and provide accurate recommendations.
Expert Recommendations
Based on the data and insights from our advanced monitoring systems, our FSEs offer tailored recommendations to operators and drilling contractors. They advise on the best course of action to minimize risks and ensure compliance, whether it involves maintaining operations or executing a safe retrieval of the BOPs.
