DCDA

AXON’s  Drilling Control & Data Acquisition system (DCDA) is an efficient, easy-to-use drilling control system focused on the operator and his working environment. 

The system is modular and open, and designed for stand-alone, integrated, distributed, or remote operations. A comprehensive program, DCDA covers all aspects of drilling operations including Drilling, Tripping, Circulations, Pipehandling, etc.

The DCDA program is normally accessed from the Cytec™ Operator Station located inside the Driller’s Cabin or from work offices on the rig. The drilling data are displayed in an easy-to-read, readily understandable manner on the operator’s displays in front of the operator.

An accompanying instrumentation package can be provided as an option.

Cabins

AXON drilling cabins provide a safe and efficient working environment for drilling, intervention, and process controls.   The cabin design is focused on reducing human stress and noise, while providing maximum line-of-sight for the operators from inside the cabin. Additional space is available for personnel supporting the operation crew, providing for a common collaboration environment. 

A typical installation includes a Cytecâ„¢ operator station with front monitors, all lighting and electrical installation, HVAC system with ducting and ventilation, F&G installation, and a computer floor designed for easy maintenance access.  These cabins are self-supporting structures, and are manufactured to relevant technical standards and certifications. 

FEATURES

  • Wiper/flusher system with integrated controls
  • Integrated PA, Driller's Talkback, Telecom and UHF
  • Access hatches and sun blinding 
  • Window protection grids
  • Positive pressurization of cabin 
  • Exterior protection bars
  • Carbon or stainless steel structure 
  • Tinted safety glass windows
  • Noise and vibration considerations and restrictions

Chairs

The AXON Cytecâ„¢ Operator Station is designed to optimize drilling control and monitoring operations.  This advanced driller’s control station features an ergonomic design and is optimized for 24/7 drilling operations from inside the driller’s cabin.  This advanced system provides the operator full control of his working environment, with all controls and monitoring functions within range.  In addition, the Cytec station readily accommodates the “line-of-sight” requirements to the drilling areas outside the driller’s cabin.
