Too often, functional safety and performance requirements for control systems software are incomplete, distributed across multiple documents, or missing altogether. In this webinar we'll show you the most effective ways to track requirements, and track and resolve issues. Using a proven cost avoidance model and actual case studies on high-specification assets, we will also present quantifiable cost savings that resulted from the collection of comprehensive control systems software requirement data, detailed requirements analysis, and identification of missing or incompatible requirements early in the newbuild cycle.

Dynamic Positioning (DP) commissioning mistakes and oversights are all too common. To help you prevent DP commissioning-related failures and schedule delays, we have created a short webinar, Commissioning Dynamic Positioning System: From Mal-Practice to Proven Practice. This webinar is based on our presentation at the MTS/IEEE Oceans '10 Conference in Seattle. It focuses on specific, proven steps you can take to help prevent costly Dynamic Positioning (DP) commissioning and upgrade issues.

Greater automation, more control systems integration, and almost 3,000 different alarms in total on high-specification assets make it extremely difficult to properly manage alarms. Missing or buried alarms, alarm flooding, ambiguous alarms, alarm calibration errors – we’ve seen it all. That is why the IADC asked Don Shafer, our Chief Technology and Safety Officer, to give a presentation at the June 2010 World Drilling Conference on how to improve the control of alarm systems, and how to achieve compliance with industry regulations such as NPD YA-711, EEMUA 191 and ISA 18.2.
