A Class Based Approach for Utilizing Existing Data to Demonstrate Compliance and Equipment Availability

摘要

Modern drilling systems have a significant number of sensors already integrated into their design. However, this data is generally underutilized with respect to maintaining class notations or periodic survey activities. Analyzing existing data can yield reductions in non-productive time (NPT) in an era where efficiency is the key to success in offshore exploration and production. A Joint Development Project (JDP) with class, rig operator and equipment vendors was established to understand how data analytics may support class requirements while also increasing availability and reliability through condition based monitoring. This paper describes the approach taken in the JDP and the main findings from this real-world example of data analytics applied to current sensor and logging data
