Technology and solutions provider Kongsberg has signed a four-year, multi-million dollar drilling data contract with OMV Group for all of its global drilling activities.
The deal sets out the provision of Kongsberg Oil & Gas Technologies’ real-time operations support tool SiteCom , which will provide 24/7 monitoring and support services to OMV headquarters and globally to all their drilling locations.
The system will allow OMV local drilling teams to access real-time data and to use the tools to decrease operational risk, improve well construction and placement, increase long-term productivity and improve the economies of its projects, Kongsberg said.
“Real-time operations support increases collaboration across our global drilling organization,” said Richard Kucs, senior drilling engineer at OMV.
“With this global platform, Kongsberg will be the ‘data highway’ for all real-time data for OMV. Our other application vendors will consume parts of this information stream to provide further specialized services along with Kongsberg.”
