Remotely Operated PROD's functions are controlled by an operator on the ship via computers.
Drilling actions such as advancing casing, make up of drill string, wash boring, rotary drilling, piston sediment sampling and testing are precisely controlled by robotic actuators. |
|
 Computer screens show all drill parameters in real time, including bit weight, rotation speed, torque, elevator position, penetration rate, water pressure and flow rate, and current hole depth. |
|
Clients are provided with a digital log of drilling parameters which, once the geotechnical characteristics have been established, can be used as an indexing tool for material strength down the drill hole. |
