Optimize process execution

Drilling control systems and rig automation enhance the driller's command over the equipment. Our vast control systems and applications are designed to streamline your automated operations and keep your rig performing at its best. These systems seamlessly integrate drilling equipment for an optimal user experience, improving performance, consistency, and safety.

Automating repetitive activities and enabling multiple applications (apps) allow rig crews to focus on consistent process execution and safety while optimizing drilling programs for operators. Through structured data and defined process automation activities, engineers can develop and apply best practices across regions and rig fleets.


Visualize across locations

Empower your team with remote visualization for seamless and efficient operations. Facilitating a mutual understanding of the overarching situation allows teams to coordinate with precision, collaborate without obstacles, and direct their efforts toward shared objectives. This fosters improved harmony, streamlined interactions, and efficient use of resources, culminating in superior execution quality, minimized mistakes, and boosted productivity throughout various sites.

NOV provides data-sharing and visualization solutions that offer invaluable insights. These insights enable the entire well execution team to make well-informed decisions, predict potential hazards, and fine-tune their operations for maximum efficiency and safety. With remote visualization, these benefits can be accessed from anywhere, improving the real-time understanding of operations and equipment status and condition. This allows for immediate action and response, reducing downtime and enhancing overall operational safety and efficiency on rigs.
