World-Leading Drilling Systems Addresses Key Training Challenges for Drilling Contractors
With over 30 years of industry experience, Drilling Systems, part of market-leading provider of training, technology, and simulation solutions 3t Energy Group, is the world’s number one provider of advanced drilling simulation technology. Prolific across the globe, Drilling Systems have helped revolutionise training, transform workforces, cut costs, and reshape safety and competency standards within the industry by deploying over 1500 simulators in more than 60 countries.
Drilling Systems’ fully immersive technology suite challenges the expectations of how the workforce consumes and retains information. Partnering with IAS (Integrated Advisory Services) to understand and assess the capability and efficiency of every workforce they collaborate with (whether it be drilling contractors, academic institutions, or training providers) allows Drilling Systems to provide a fully tailored experience to each customer.
Drilling Contractors who crew, manage, and maintain rigs are central to the efficiency and success of drilling operations. Ensuring these workers are competent and confident in their roles is crucial to maintaining high levels of safety and performance on rigs. By utilising a range of training methods including immersive simulator technology, the knowledge of Drilling Contractors can easily be tested ensuring higher levels of safety in high-hazard, high-consequence environments.

experience, the Drilling Systems team understand on-the-rig challenges, allowing them to optimise their products (such as their DrillSIM:6000 and KraneSIM:6000 range) to tackle the critical issues associated with training; travel expenses, time restraints, lack of resources, and safety hazards.
Playing a crucial role in reducing time and money spent sourcing, transporting, and providing personnel with the appropriate training, Drilling Systems' On the Rig (OTR) training unit is a flexible alternative to maximise potential and reduce overhead costs. As a fully immersive, IADC and IWCF-accredited portable simulator, OTR brings drilling and equipment operations, well control, and crane training directly on-site to the rig, delivering continuous training, development, and assessment, on the job. Used to support comprehensive module-based training and competence programmes, the OTR unit features in-depth and easy-to-analyse progress and development reporting, as well as in-simulation assessment, feedback, and improvement options to optimise the user’s potential.

project, the success of OTR installations led to the same method being effectively integrated into similar training scenarios across various drilling campaigns. Partnering with training specialist, AIS Survivex, Drilling Systems provided well-specific P&A training to simulate bull heading, reverse circulation, trapped gas, and cutting casing operations. The use of OTR helped to prepare and ready crews in advance of potential well control situations as part of a crucial project to decommission several wells across the North Sea, ensuring the project was completed safely and efficiently.
Playing a vital part in reducing operational and training costs by effectively cutting down on travel time, the use of OTR in this project, as well as its other successes, has allowed for rapid, on-demand training to be delivered on rig and in-situ. By practising high-risk scenarios in a fully immersive but safe environment, the fully portable OTR training unit, as well as the many other kinds of world-leading technology available through Drilling Systems, allows organisations to maximise operational efficiency whilst cutting costs and reducing any strain on resources and budget.
