IPT’s In-House Team Innovates BOP Integrity Management Technology

IPT believes that innovative technology is born out of collaboration with subject matter experts and a focus on delivering world-class products. Our in-house software development team proudly developed our monitoring technology to first be applied to BOPs. This was a natural segue from our BOP pressure testing foundation software, SureTec.

IPT Global provides holistic BOP integrity management through leading technology that allows for continuous monitoring and robust pressure testing. We support clients with superior first-rate service including 24/7 real-time monitoring, remote and onsite compatibility verification, failure tracking and root cause analysis, along with permitting and planning support.

Our in-house experts and developers crafted this technology with a level of quality and excellence beyond our competitors, for future innovation and development ease. Unlike our competition, we have built a scalable and sustainable tool to enhance reliability. IPT’s BOP Reliability System (BRS) allows for live data and test streaming, trend analysis, failure tracking, event and alarm monitoring, and historical data retrieval. These tools aim to ensure BOP reliability during different phases of BOP operations and provide preventive information to operators and engineers.

IPT BOP Reliability System is architected with industry standards and best practices:

• Microservice based framework
• Azure cloud services such as Azure Service Bus and Azure Functions
• High performance cloud-based time series database
• Extensible, data-driven user-interface with customizable visualizations
• IPT BRS Edge – A self-contained network appliance
• OPC UA standard for secured device connectivity

IPT BOP Reliability System is built to be secure:

• Server is configured with firewall and anti-virus protection
• Web based tools require Microsoft Single Sign-on
• Role-based access to data

IPT BOP Reliability System is built to scale:

• Tens of thousands of data points processed per minute
• Customizable data-storage – as opposed to standard data loggers which only store data for a given number of days, IPT can store data indefinitely
• IPT BRS Edge device is designed to withstand network outages from the Rig to the Cloud
