摘要

Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc. has launched its Sim-Stack service, which it describes as the offshore drilling industry's first cybernetic blowout preventer.Acting as the virtual twin of a BOP system on a drilling vessel, Sim-Stack replicates the BOP hydraulically and electrically to assess its overall health and regulatory compliance, Diamond Offshore says. When component failures are identified, Sim-Stack provides critical, systematic feedback without human bias, the company notes.
