Athens Group pioneered Lifecycle Drilling Technology AssuranceSM Services to help drilling contractors and operators proactively prevent losses due to integrated control systems (software) related equipment failures, project delays, and safety incidents throughout the entire lifecycle of offshore assets. Our services:
- Measurably and significantly reduce integrated control systems related risk on all types of highly integrated and automated assets, including drillships, semisubmersibles, platforms and jackups
- Are delivered by our consultants who average 20+ years of software, hardware, and network topology experience, and have been thoroughly trained on our Proven PracticesSM Methodology
- Have been proven on over 80 high-specification assets, allowing lessons learned on other assets to be applied on your next project
It's never too late to start identifying and addressing control systems software-related risk since residual risk remains after every phase of the asset lifecycle, and new risk is introduced each time a lifecycle phase begins. Addressing control systems risk as early as possible and taking a holistic, systems-oriented approach helps maximize risk reduction. Employing our services early and throughout the entire lifecycle enables us to work seamlessly with the shipyard, equipment vendors and your team to save you time and money. By helping to identify and mitigate risk sooner in the lifecycle, Athens Group ultimately helps to ensure that your control systems will:
- Meet your functional requirements
- Be drill-ready when you accept the rig
- Work as expected with minimal downtime throughout the rig lifecycle
