90 Application of Remote Real-Time Monitoring to Offshore Oil and Gas Operations implementation of RRTM exists, and the industry exhibits varying levels of maturity in its use of RRTM. Operators using RRTM believe that it offers benefits related to increased efficiency, reduced downtime and operational disruptions, reduced equipment damage, increased safety, and overall reduction in risk.

From page 93... ...
Findings and Recommendations 93 stakeholders to share best practices and lessons within and across the industry, since some experiences indicate that RRTM can improve safety in operations. Finding 7.

94 Application of Remote Real-Time Monitoring to Offshore Oil and Gas Operations and that the rotary steerable tool at the wellsite does have some automated capability in setting a path and maintaining a heading during drilling. However, the performance of critical equipment and the work processes utilizing that equipment would need to be captured by instrumentation before they could be modeled in a computer program and ultimately automated.

96 Application of Remote Real-Time Monitoring to Offshore Oil and Gas Operations Recommendation 1. BSEE should pursue a more performance-based regulatory framework by focusing on a risk-based regime that allows industry to determine relevant uses of RRTM on the basis of assessed levels of risk and complexity.
|
From page 97... ...
Findings and Recommendations 97 The suitability of RRTM for specific wells and facilities should be judged in a manner consistent with the recommendations made by a recent report on implementing BAST for offshore oil and gas operations (NAE and NRC 2013)
