  • Health, safety, security and environmental (HSSE) concerns are of high importance for the industry
  • Falling profits impose the need to reduce costs of drilling operations
  • More stringent environmental legislation enforces higher standards of safety and operation
The oil and gas industry has finally entered the world of automation and digital process control. Norway-based Robotic Drilling Systems AS and Siemens have teamed up to develop a game changing drill floor solution consisting of robotic technology for fully unmanned oil and gas drill floor operations.
  • Communication between the control room and the robots and between the robots themselves is done via SCALANCE S and SCALANCE X
  • Individual control system for each robot (SIMATIC IPC, SIMATIC STEP7)
  • Siemens drives with SINAMICS 120, SIMATIC S7-300 and SIMATIC ET 200
  • SIMATIC HMI panels in the control room with WinCC visualization
“At RDS we anticipate an industry-wide convergence of automation and robotics by 2020. Automatic drilling and drillfloor handling will be combined with downhole data acquisition to optimize all key parameters from crown block to downhole”
Jimmy Bostrøm, Chief Operating Officer of RDS
  • Reduced labour costs for certified personnel on the drilling platform
  • Reduced number of accidents with personal injuries
  • Improved precision of the drilling process
  • Continuous consulting and technical support from Siemens around the globe
The company Robotic Drilling Systems AS was founded in 2005 and has developed a revolutionary drill-floor solution that allows fully unmanned operation. The system can be called a revolution for the oil and gas industry and is designed to automate the complete drilling process. It handles the required pipes and tools and can be integrated into new or existing onshore and offshore installations.
