Technical issues are disrupting communication in remote drilling operations. How do you address them?

Technical issues in remote drilling operations can cause major communication breakdowns, affecting productivity and safety. To tackle these disruptions, consider the following strategies:

  • Invest in reliable technology: Use high-quality communication tools and regularly maintain them to prevent failures.

  • Establish backup systems: Have secondary communication channels ready to switch to in case of primary system failures.

  • Train your team: Ensure all team members are proficient in using the technology and understand protocols for handling disruptions.

    💡Technical issues in remote drilling can severely disrupt communication. Here’s how I address these challenges: Invest in Reliable Technology: Use high-quality communication tools and perform regular maintenance to minimize failures. Establish Backup Systems: Set up secondary communication channels to quickly switch to if the primary system fails. Train Your Team: Ensure everyone is well-trained in the technology and knows the protocols for handling disruptions. How do you manage technical issues in your remote operations? I’d love to hear your solutions!

    The goal in remote operations is to "do things right the first time." If possible, have backups of key parts or equipment in the development of the activity being performed, follow the procedures step by step and have just enough time to avoid operating under pressure due to lack of time. Good internal and external communication is necessary and a priority for remote locations.

    1- Plan a redundant communication system. 2- Make sure that if everything goes down, the operator and the technicians have a basic form of communication internet free. 3- Establish 2 types of communication: a- HQ to objective well, b- HQ to facilities neighbouring the objective well. That way, if any safety concern is discovered at the HQ other close facilities can physically communicate the issue so technicians can fix it. 4- Last resort, have safety guides and brochures informing technicians how to proceed to secure the drill until communication is re-established.
