  • Manage implementation of digital infrastructure on the rigs site.

  • Manage integration of service companies' equipment into the rig’s digital infrastructure.

  • Coordinate integration of service companies’ control systems into the rig drilling control system

  • Coordinate implementation of advanced analytics and learning together with drilling company, drilling control supplier and service companies.

  • Coordinate and manage mobilization and operational support of ADC-operations.

The ERC Drilling Automation Model

  1. Analyse the drilling equipment and working methods that are used on the rig. Work out solutions for automation that can improve the efficiency and the safety of the rig.

  2. Select technology, equipment and software that will increase the uptime and safe operation of the rig, which is not outdated and has a future perspective.

  3. Perform a calculated analysis of how the new technology will improve performance and security. Evaluate whether the chosen technology is good enough or whether you must choose another solution.

  4. Agree with technology providers on the type of interface and communication platform to be used, for internal and external communication.

  5. Be an overall link between the various technology companies to make sure that the collaborative solution will be optimal. This is to ensure that the technology companies talk to each other and that potential problems are discovered and taken care of.

  6. Make sure that an Internal Acceptance Test (IAT) and a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) are performed. Also make sure that all open punch are closed before equipment & software are delivered from the vendor(s).

  7. Follow up installation and commissioning on the rig and ensure that the suppliers deliver the technology as intended, and make sure required documentations are updated and valid for use.

  8. Verify that operators receive the necessary training and understanding of the new technology.

  9. Perform a verification that the new technology delivers improvements and safety as intended

  10. Use the trend logging system for the control system, to be able to detect any errors and to be able to make further improvements
