Digitalization, data enable efficient vessel surveys, reduce out-of-service time

Digitalization and big data hold significant potential to improving asset integrity and reliability, David McKay, Chief Surveyor Offshore for DNV GL, said at the 2017 IADC Asset Integrity and Reliability Conference in Houston on 22 August. In this video with DC, Mr McKay discusses how data-driven innovations can make vessel surveys and audits safer, smarter and more environmentally friendly. He also highlights the major lessons learned in a project where 36 billion records of data from two drillships were collected and optimized to detect drilling anomalies before they occurred.
