How does the precise rig system work?

The Precise system connects with key rig components via remote I/O on the drawworks, top drive, mud pumps, and drill floor. Control everything from the driller’s cabin using touchscreens, discrete operators, and joystick controls. It also includes an integrated talkback system for better communication at the rig site.

What is a T Card system?

The T Card System is a manual method used to track personnel on offshore installations, such as oil rigs and platforms. It involves the use of T-shaped cards that represent individual workers, with each card containing the worker's name, position, and other relevant details. These cards are placed on a rack or board in a central location.

How many drill rigs can a remote operator control?

Through the system, one operator can automate one to three rigs from a remote operator station, trailer or van. Working from a remote control room or alternatively trailer or van, the operator can supervize multiple automated drill rigs safely and comfortably.

Is the T-Card system a manual system?

The fact that the T-Card System is manual means it doesn't fall under the increasingly pervasive cyber threats that internet-based systems of the modern age do. Where safety is paramount, such as it needs to be in such an industry, this can be a big plus for a manual system.

Can a T-Card system be integrated with a digital solution?

Integrating the T-Card System with digital solutions could complement the scalability issue. For example, this can be further developed into a hybrid system whereby the backup or secondary system would be an electronic tracking system with the T-Card System.

Why is a rig rig system important?

Accurate and efficient rig operation minimizes the possibility of human error. The system provides continuous drilling over shift changes and breaks, maximizing productivity even in difficult conditions. Consistent output increases efficiency with accurate drilling performance for easier blasting and improved fragmentation.
