The project is a major part of BP’s multi-million dollar investment in the BP well advisor program, which aims to integrate the analysis and presentation of real-time data for operatonal decision-making through all phases of the well-construction lifecycle.
It will use all applicable practices and expertise to provide the right information in the right place at the right time, the companies said.
BP GWO Technology vice president Fereidoun Abbassian said, "As an integral part of the BP Well Advisor team, KONGSBERG and BP have worked together closely developing BP Well Advisor from concept to successful implementation in the field."
It is expected that the development will deliver four to six new consoles each of the three year agreement and the consoles will be based on KONGSBERG’s Discovery Web platform, which is part of the SiteCom suite of software.
The companies are also working together to optimize training and support for the solution as it is rolled-out.
Kongsberg Drilling Software vice president Rune Skarbø said the company has strengthened its development department to support this project.
