ADC Energy, which specializes in providing operational assurance for drilling rigs worldwide, is celebrating a milestone as it approaches its 40th anniversary. With a deep-rooted commitment to safety, efficiency and environmental protection, the company continues to play a key role in ensuring that oil and gas operators and rig owners maintain optimal operational performance.
Experience and qualified operational assurance
In an exclusive interview, Austin Hay, Director of ADC Energy, shared his perspectives on the evolution of the company and its approach to the future of operational assurance.
We provide a wide range of services designed to ensure that everything works as it should.
Our expertise includes compliance audits on equipment, systems, personnel and competencies.
Hay explained.
One of the strategic elements of ADC Energy’s growth lies in its innovative use of technology. “For the past 15 years, we have focused on digitizing our operations, leaving paper reports behind,” Hay said.
This enterprise data science team leverages complex data sets generated offshore, making critical information easily accessible to aid in decision making. This visionary approach allows ADC Energy to learn from past experiences, as well as guide future decisions to optimize efficiency and reduce risk.
A notable example of the company’s technological advances is its integration of Artificial Intelligence. Hay mentioned the collaboration with Cedral to implement the company’s predictive maintenance on well control equipment, highlighting that the use of AI has transformed the way equipment, such as Blowout Preventers, is inspected.
In addition to technological advances, the alliances of ADC Energy with other companies in the industry have strengthened its position in the market. The relationship with Oil Spill Response Limited(OSRL) has been a particularly valuable collaboration, aligning with its mission to create a safer, cleaner and more efficient energy industry.
Being part of the OSRL network allows us to collaborate with like-minded companies that are also focused on the same goals: safety, efficiency and environmental protection.
Hay detailed.
