Description
Summary:This paper describes the study intended to work out functionality requirements of a digital assistant software for Arctic offshore drilling platforms. The study followed the method of logical analysis. The criteria used to formulate key requirements to the software functionality were based on the interview with competent experts working at marine drilling plat forms and chosen as per their respective work experience in offshore drilling. Arctic developments have become especially relevant in the last years because oil and gas reserves of the Eastern Siberia and mainland fields in the Russian North are depleting, so it becomes necessary to go for offshore oil and gas in the Arctic. The progress in digital technologies is one of the ways to make Arctic oil & gas production more efficient and safe, which is especially relevant taking into account its harsh environments. Development and induction of personalized tools could improve both occupational and personal discipline of the staff manning offshore platforms, as well as optimize working hours and mitigate industrial injuries. Keywords: Arctic region, digital assistant software, oil and gas, data analysis, marine drilling, digital tool.
