Remote Solutions

OTC has always possessed the capabilities to accommodate remote monitoring, but it was the pandemic that shifted them to the forefront. In early 2020, Stretch created a quick start guide, known as the “Start Up Wizard,” and proceeded to put it into action with customers in Trinidad, Singapore, Myanmar and Japan. Once the equipment was in the hands of these clients, they only needed to be checked in on by OTC bi-weekly or bi-monthly, and they consistently reported that the system was working wonderfully and the provided documentation was very straight forward and intuitive.

The Start Up Wizard is a step-by-step process that features a series of simple questions designed to eliminate any guesswork from the pressure testing decision making process. These questions range from, “What region of the world are you in?” to “What is your test pressure?” Screenshots visually guide the user through what they should expect to see, via a series of easily navigated steps. Ultimately, the user is made to feel confident in their ability to operate the software before it even arrives onsite. During OTC GreenLight equipment use, the user is provided with various flags, hints and prompts to help them stay the course, such as, “You indicated that you would like to be at 6000 psi but you are only at 5800. How would you like to proceed?”

The ability to have personnel on the rig will always be the best insurance against a loss of communications affecting remote support capabilities, but with OTC Greenlight’s new Start Up Wizard, much of that risk is overcome through the remote training that is provided to rig staff, enabling them to personally run the software with confidence. The pandemic was the catalyst for change, but now remote delivery is set to become an industry norm in places where the communication requirements can be satisfied. ** link to video is we have it…checking**
