What the Rig Is Used For and What Its Components Mean
1. In the simulators that they develop, Esimtech painstakingly models all of the major components and systems that are accountable for the operation of a drilling rig
2. This category encompasses a wide range of essential pieces of rig hardware, including but not limited to the mast, drawworks, topdrive, rotary table, mud pumps, blowout preventers, shale shakers, mud tanks, and other essential pieces of equipment
3. Because of the realistic animations and physics-based interactions that are incorporated into the game, the users are able to control the functions of the rig and observe the behaviors of the equipment exactly as they occur in field operations
4. This is made possible by the game
5. Hoisting, lowering, rotating, and pumping are some of the functions that can be individually controlled in a variety of drilling modes
6. This allows for a more comprehensive learning experience to be provided
Wellbore modeling and the dynamics of the downhole are both being completed.
The simulators that Esimtech has developed are outfitted with sophisticated geological modeling capabilities, which enable them to replicate the intricate wellbore profile and the conditions that exist downhole. One is able to define significant petrophysical properties of formations, such as their depth, thickness, pore pressure, fracture gradient, lithology, and drilling parameters. These are all examples of important petrophysical properties.
The dynamics of the downhole environment, which include drillstring vibration, sticking, differential sticking, hole cleaning/fill issues, drill bit balling, and logging, emerge naturally as a result of user inputs while drilling operations are being carried out. As a consequence of this, trainees are able to acquire a more comprehensive comprehension of the interplay that exists between drilling mechanics, formation characteristics, and the effectiveness of equipment and tools. They are able to accurately simulate kicks and blowouts, as well as the early detection of these events, by making use of data from real-time rig monitoring. It is possible to program unexpected pressure influx scenarios to take place at any time during drilling operations. These scenarios can be programmed to take place at any time for any reason. The creation of realistic emergency response scenarios calls for a combination of factors, such as formation pressures, drilled depths, mud properties, and wellbore geometry, in addition to the dynamic interactions that occur between these factors. The drilling personnel are able to acquire valuable muscle memory through this process, which enables them to handle kicks competently long before they are confronted with actual well control challenges offshore or in HPHT wells. This is because of the fact that they are able to acquire this muscle memory.
Virtual reality headsets allow trainees to completely immerse themselves in the full-scale virtual rig and obtain a first-person, 360-degree view of the operations. This allows trainees to receive a more comprehensive understanding of the operations. The elimination of the disengagement that is caused by traditional 2D desktop simulators has contributed to a significant improvement in the training experience. As a result, the training experience has been significantly improved. The use of virtual reality also makes it possible to conduct simulations with multiple players and evaluate non-technical crew skills such as communication, leadership, and team coordination under high-pressure conditions. This makes it possible to gain practical experience by utilizing rig types and infrastructure that are unique to the client, in addition to ensuring that the client is aligned with operational methodological guidelines. It is also beneficial to conduct competency evaluations, operational audits, JHA planning, and permit-to-work preparations that are tailored to the requirements of the organization. This can be accomplished through the integration of on-location training.
Management of Instruction Through the Use of Individual Computers
The learning management functions and user-friendly interfaces that are included in Esimtech's simulators make it possible to optimize training programs. Esimtech's simulators are available for purchase. For the purpose of identifying knowledge gaps that call for additional training, detailed reports on trainee competencies, operational errors, and response times can be of great assistance.
Additionally, the simulators come with a comprehensive e-learning management module that enables the tracking of course completions, the issuance of certifications, the setting of online exams, and the provision of additional benefits associated with computer-based training. This module is included in the simulators. Because of this administrative oversight, entire drilling crews are able to develop their skills in a consistent manner that is based on their competencies, and they are also able to receive prompt remedial training regardless of whether or not it is required. In a general sense, the simulator technology that Esimtech has developed is able to enhance the safety, competency, and efficiency of drilling operations all over the world. Prior to beginning essential well construction work, personnel are provided with valuable hands-on experience through the utilization of these cutting-edge digital tools, which accurately simulate the conditions, operations, and emergency scenarios that are encountered in the real world. This allows for the better preparation of personnel for the actual construction of the well.
