DOTS - Inspection Advisory

The tubular supply chain is complex, and a number of industry players are involved. Tubular life can typically be 5 - 15 years and onshore to offshore cycle time is typically 6 months. Information is produced in each business step, and global electronic identification together with standardized information sharing is required to obtain full tubular tracking and quality assurance.

By connecting the available information created in the different process steps to the individual drill pipe element through electronic identification (RFID), new posibilities for data combination and real time state control reveals.

DOTS uses available information from different sources in combination with real time drilling data to calculate the current state of each individual drill pipe during operation. The results are stored in the DOTS database in a structured way and can be used for optimalization of inspection processes, improved drill string design and qualified decision making.

Active use of DOTS inspection advisory in planning and operation of your drilling activities will reduce the risk for drill string failure and will lead to significant cost savings.
