RIGWATCH™ Drilling Instrumentation

RIGWATCH is more than a drilling instrumentation package. RIGWATCH puts the power of the latest computer, information and network technology to work, delivering instantaneous information on critical well parameters to the driller and other key personnel. RIGWATCH is built around proven and robust sensors that monitor the well on a per second basis. RIGWATCH takes rig monitoring to a new level by combining instrumentation, data acquisition, display, reporting and analysis into a comprehensive, easy to use, Windows-based system. RIGWATCH's flexibility gives the driller vital per second information. At the same time, onsite or offsite engineers or supervisors are performing real-time detailed trend analysis via dial-in or Internet access.

Key Benefits

• Electronic Drilling Recorder
  The RIGWATCH Electronic Drilling Recorder mode serves as a replacement for the mechanical drilling recorder. Hardcopy printouts emulating the mechanical recorder are automatically printed each day or on-demand. Driller entered comments and annotations appear on the screen, printout and become part of the permanent well history.
  
  
• 15" High-Bright Color Driller’s Workstation
  The biggest and brightest display in the industry. It is easy to read, even in direct sunlight. The flat panel design permits yoke, wall or console mounting. It has been approved for classified locations.
  
  
• Touch Screen Interface
  This interface has simple and easy to follow menus with large buttons. Training a novice computer user takes very little effort.
  
  
• Real-time Graphics and Multiple Views
  Using high-resolution graphics, RIGWATCH presents real-time and historical data in a variety of easy to read and interpret views that are independently selectable by each workstation.
  
  
• Automated Daily Drilling Report and Drilling Recorder Printout
  Drilling Reports and Drilling Recorder Printouts are generated at a preset interval; or on demand allowing quick review of drilling data in hardcopy formats.
  
  
• Automatic Report, Printout, and Data Transmission
  RIGWATCH automatically dials to a remote office and transmits the daily drilling report, drilling recorder printouts and drilling data. This provides key personnel timely drilling information.
  
  
• Internet Access
  Daily drilling reports, drilling recorder printouts, and drilling data for your well are accessible via a secure link to this site.
  
  
• Dial-In Access
  This allows access to real-time data from a remote location. Supervision of multiple drilling operations can be done from a single locale, as well as conferences with wellsite supervisors on drilling problems.
  
  
• Messaging and Task Scheduler
  Inter-workstation and inter-office messaging allows key wellsite personnel to communicate. Task scheduler alerts specific personnel of an upcoming task based on time or depth.
  
  
• 32-bit Windows™ Platform
  Robust and reliable operating system - allows many applications to be run concurrent with RIGWATCH. This includes morning report programs, spreadsheets and word processing.
  
  
• Database Archive
  This archive provides a "Flight Recorder" database of all rig activities, drilling, tripping, and down time. Data is stored on time and depth. Extraction and analysis of onsite and remote post-well data is allowed.
  
  
• Data Export and Extraction
  RIGWATCH exports real-time data via WITS to third parties on the wellsite. Data can be exported in ASCII, LAS and EXCEL compatible formats.
  
  
• Data Warehouse
  Data from all wells drilled with RIGWATCH is archived in a central data warehouse. This data is accessible at any time by the customer via a secure Internet link.
  
  
• Real-time Engineering Applications
  RIGWATCH integrates real-time drilling data with hydraulics, drilling, tripping and well control applications.
  
  
• Pipe Tally
  RIGWATCH automatically maintains a pipe tally that is integrated with bit tracking.
  
  
• Accepts Data from Third Party Sources
  RIGWATCH imports industry standard WITS formatted data in real-time from sources such as MWD – LWD service providers.
  
  
• Sensor Technology
  State-of-the-art sensor technology is used at every measurement location.
  
  
• Cables and Connectors: A New Approach
  Epoch uses a Multi-Port Interconnect System (MPIS) with epoxy potted j-boxes, connectors, and cables. Quicker installation, less onsite terminations required, more robust and durable interconnects results in less corrosion, more reliable system and fewer service calls
  
  
• Modular Design
  This modular design allows customization of system for exactly what level of service you need. This ranges from a pen recorder replacement to mud monitoring or full rig-monitoring package.
  
  
• Intrinsically Safe (I.S.) System
  All sensors and wiring in hazardous areas are safe (i.e., not capable of producing a spark that may result in an explosion or fire).
