All Computers are networked in a Master Slave Configuration and
share data.
|
Drill Data, Gas Data and Mud Data
are displayed on both the screens. The Data on the Master Screen can
be displayed on remote Monitors, which can be installed in different locations
on the Rig. The Calibration, Storage and
Retrieval of data is done by the Master and the
printing is done by the slave. |
|
|
|
There are 4 online 132 col. color printers
attached to the computers for the on line printing /plotting of data
continuous in Graphical mode with three parameter per
printer. There is one printer of the same
specification for Depth based printing and one 132 col. color printer for offline
work. |
The Data on the Master Screen can be
displayed on remote Monitors, which can be installed in the Company’s Man’s and
the Tool Pushers offices.
High Visibility Explosion Proof Remote
Monitors with view ability in Sunlight are installed on the Rig Floor.

The computers in the Unit are
provided with Dual Screens
The Normal Configuration with three
computers in the unit will be to assign each computer to display a set of
parameters in numerical and graphical modes.
System configuration normally is :
1 PC for Gas Data System
1 PC for Drill Data System
1 PC for Mud Data System
The PC assigned for the Gas data is
usually assigned for Trip Monitoring
during tripping.
Though this is the usual
configuration maintained the system can be configured easily by the user at
site.
Outside the MLU the data is passed on
through the Network to Computers in the Well –Site Geologist and Company Man’s
office.
One Ex- Proof Monitor is place on the
Drill floor with a configurable display.
