A New Standard for Operational Insight in Drilling Operations

As drilling operations become more complex, access to accurate and contextual data is critical. Modern land and offshore rigs generate vast amounts of information through programmable logic controllers, yet much of this data remains isolated within control systems. Laversab addresses this challenge by enabling seamless PLC-to-WITSML integration, creating a unified data environment that supports better operational decisions.

The Role of PLCs on Today’s Rigs

PLCs are the backbone of rig automation. They monitor and control key equipment such as top drives, draw works, mud pumps, power generation systems, fluid handling equipment, and well control systems. These systems continuously produce valuable data including pressures, flows, loads, speeds, power usage, and alarms.

While this information is essential, it is often used only for local control and basic monitoring. Without integration into drilling data systems, its full value remains unrealized.

Bridging the Data Gap

Laversab technology bridges this gap by collecting PLC data directly from various rig equipment and converting it into WITSML-compliant data streams. Once integrated, this information becomes available alongside essential drilling and logging parameters such as depth, rate of penetration, weight on bit, torque, pressure, and MWD and LWD measurements.

Creating Unified Operational Context

The result is a unified data environment where equipment behavior is no longer viewed in isolation, but in full drilling context. Pump performance can be analyzed by depth and formation. Mechanical loads can be correlated with drilling phases. Power consumption trends can be aligned with operational activities. This blend of data delivers clearer insights into what is happening at the rig and why it is happening. Rig operations are no longer limited to drilling efficiency, and with Laversab technology, we are breaking ground for complete operational efficiency solutions.

Enabling Real-Time Decision Support

This enhanced visibility supports faster and more informed decision-making. Engineers and operations teams can identify developing issues earlier, reduce nonproductive time, and optimize equipment usage. Real-time access through WITSML also allows seamless collaboration between the rig, office teams, and remote operations centers using a single trusted data source.

The Business Value for Operators

The combination of PLC data with drilling and logging data creates greater clarity in data exposure. Operators gain:

• Deeper operational insight – Complete visibility into equipment performance within the drilling context
• Improved efficiency – Faster identification of issues and optimization opportunities
• Reduced risk – Early detection of developing problems and better-informed decisions
• Stronger environmental performance – Data-driven emission reduction and energy optimization

This unified approach supports smarter decisions throughout the drilling lifecycle.

Conclusion

Laversab PLC-to-WITSML integration transforms isolated rig data into actionable intelligence. By blending equipment data with essential drilling parameters, operators gain the clarity needed to improve performance, reduce emissions, and operate more efficiently in an increasingly data-driven industry.
