KONGSBERG, Norway  Kongsberg Digital and Keystone have formed a well application software partnership.

Their aim is to enable real-time wells and planning data to be combined and contextualized to help optimize drilling operations by using Keystone’s SmartHUB. Kongsberg Digital’s Industrial Work Surface service will provide a detailed picture of the real-time well operation through an interoperable platform.

Results, the companies claim, should be increased accuracy and consistency of available data in a single open platform, with drilling teams gaining access to the most up to date and consistent information, with embedded analytics tools for well operations.

Kongsberg Digital CEO Shane McArdle said, “In the past, planning data and real-time data for wells was stored in different silos and not combined. Our strategic partnership with Keystone will bring the context and verified actions from planning data to the real-time data harnessed by Kongsberg Digital’s applications.

“The real-time data will bring actual numbers to the planning and execution phases of digital operation procedures, bringing value to our clients by providing a holistic overview of well operations as well as verification of adherence to procedure.”

Keystone CEO Jan Isaachsen added, “Drilling engineers will finally be able to have a full picture of actual versus planned data, enabling dynamic use of all available data for real-time operations optimization and the continuous improvement of the planning of new wells.”
