Improved safety, enhanced performance, increased profit and insight: these are some of the benefits our customers can experience when we launch the first version of our new collaboration platform, myDrilling™ in July this year.

myDrilling™ is a multidisciplinary collaboration platform aiming to further improve rig performance. Aker Solutions is cooperating closely with Seadrill for the pilot project. At the next stage the aim is to involve more parties.
Project manager Arnt Aske and his project team have been increasingly busy over the past few months preparing for the launch. “We brought with us some flyers of our new concept to the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston, and we really felt that people were very receptive,” Aske explains. “The concept is still very new, and it takes a bit of explaining for people to realise what we are about to deliver.”
“We are able to collect large amounts of data without affecting system real-time performance on our customers’ rigs, Aske says. “This real time and stored data, as well as design information and expertise sharing, enables our customers to continuously increase performance and gain insight into all aspects of their operative processes once they log onto the myDrilling™ customer portal and learn more about their specific rig.”
Anytime and anywhere
“The beauty of myDrilling is that you can enhance your drilling system anytime and anywhere,” says Aske. “You can access myDrilling™ via your phone, via an iPad or on your computer. Additionally, there are a number of benefits of the myDrilling collaboration platform: First and foremost the purpose is to increase customer value through the ability to handle and utilise real time date. Secondly, we obtain a seamless information flow, cross application and third party connectivity. And last but not least, another benefit is pro active ownership and security of data, as well as key competence virtually onboard the rig. This is a holistic approach to providing transparency and insight to be able to act on data in motion. As far as the data integration is concerned we use ISO 15926.”
The complete version of myDrilling™ is scheduled to be launched early 2012 and constitutes and entirely new offering compared with current conventional services. More information about the pilot project will be published internally in the coming months.
