![]() ![]() To be able to do this, the people and the data itself must be ready for it, digitally and technically. As technology is advancing at the speed of sound, the industry has now starting to talk about drilling automation, machine learning, artificial intelligence and big data analytics. ![]() Having lots of data coming from various sources leads this industry in this big data world. Pacing in this digital era, Oil and Gas operators and service providers now aims to embark on digital transformation to elevate their ability and agility to thrive in digital environment as an effort to be ahead of competitors. This set-up has enable high level of collaboration starting from planning phase, drilling execution and post job phase, knowing that all domain experts' works from a single data source, where all decisions & modifications made are agreed upon. Having an integrated real-time operation centre equipped with high technology software and coupled with subject matter experts in one room has often leads to efficiency and consistency while drilling especially when encountering complex drilling environment. With the emergence of sophisticated drilling software and a standard communication protocol, a real-time operation centre is typically occupied with multiple software with different function and capabilities to aid the drilling operation. In fact, it has become common terms that has been widely used in many other industries. However, as to date, real-time communication is no longer sounds alien to many people. During those days, offshore rigs and platform seems isolated and communication was only done via phone call and fax machine which has resulted in very delayed information, and at some point, causes difficult decision making. Back then, communication between rig-site and town was a huge challenge, even in Malaysia where the first offshore drilling started in the 1960s. ![]()
