DynOps™
DynOps is a digital service that helps operators and rig contractors increase insight and predictability by optimising rig operability and accelerating situational awareness in weather-dependent offshore operations.
Offshore drilling operations are constrained by well-specific operation guidelines (WSOG).
While WSOGs ensure safety, their static and conservative limits often lead to:
- Excessive thruster use and higher fuel consumption
- Increased waiting on weather (WoW) and lost time
- Reduced efficiency in planning and execution
DynOps transforms this by providing dynamic, data-driven guidance based on actual rig conditions and prevailing weather.
Key benefits
With its advanced capabilities, DynOps™ provides essential tools simultaneously to onshore and offshore personnel. Please see our key benefits for a quick introduction:
-
DynOps uses forecasted and live weather data to dynamically adjust operational limits. This allows rigs to operate safely in conditions that would otherwise trigger conservative shutdowns, increasing uptime and reducing unnecessary delays.
-
By forecasting rig behavior under upcoming weather scenarios, DynOps helps crews anticipate and avoid waiting-on-weather (WoW) situations. In a recent study, DynOps had the potential to reduce weather-related delays by up to 45% and thruster usage by 30%.
-
Operators receive clear, continuously updated guidance based on actual rig response and forecasted conditions. This replaces guesswork with actionable insights, improving coordination between offshore and onshore teams.
-
DynOps integrates mooring analysis, rig motion data, and line break simulations to detect potential hazards early. This enables timely interventions and safer operations, especially in dynamic environments.
-
All data is accessible via REST API and integrated into the 4Insight platform. Users can manually input weather scenarios, compare forecasts, and toggle between drilling and non-drilling modes.
-
DynOps is designed to work across different rigs, weather providers, and operational setups. It supports multiple forecast sources, confidence metrics, and rig-specific configurations, making it adaptable to diverse offshore needs.
-
The dashboard presents complex analysis in a user-friendly format, with visual toggles, confidence indicators, and mode-specific envelopes. This empowers users to make informed decisions quickly, even under pressure.
Digital Operability Prediction
DynOps provides operators with critical decision support delivered simultaneously to onshore and offshore personnel.
By combining real-time measurements, analysis data, and weather forecasts, DynOps removes unnecessary conservatism from WSOG, enabling:
- Higher operability
- Safer, more efficient operations
- Reduced fuel consumption and emissions
