Oceaneering and Pacific Drilling entered into a five-year digital services package agreement to provide Pacific customers with the best reliability and throughput, enabling real-time video and data transmission. This will enable the delivery of emerging services such as remote ROV piloting, surveying and automation aboard Pacific Drilling's high specification drill fleet.

The collaboration between Oceaneering and Pacific Drilling aims to make the “Platform of the Future” a reality today. With better and more reliable connectivity aboard Pacific Drilling vessels, customers can leverage data to make better, faster decisions. As a result of these efforts, Pacific Drilling customers can benefit from increased security, increased third-party access and management, and new and expanded digital services.

“We are delighted to be working with Pacific Drilling to make the 'Rig of the Future' a reality,” said Kelly McDowell, Director of Global Data Solutions for Oceaneering. “By choosing this package of integrated rig services, Pacific and its customers can increase transparency and worker safety, leveraging our cross-functional team to maximize efficiency.”

“Applying Pacific Fleilling's best technologies and IT services to Pacific Drilling's deepwater fleet helps ensure we continue to deliver timely solutions to our customers' toughest challenges,” said Corey Thompson, CIO of Pacific Drilling. “Oceaneering is the right partner to help drive the digital transformation of our assets, allowing us to engage with and serve customers like never before. This strategic investment quadruples our channel bandwidth, reduces decision-making latency, and accelerates our technology roadmap.”

Oceaneering ensures service-level availability for mission-critical and industrial data backed by a combination of private LTE infrastructure and next-generation satellite constellations to provide seamless data connectivity. From origin to destination, Oceaneering will assume 100% responsibility for network uptime and remote offshore operations.

The digital transformation will allow Oceaneering to provide remote piloting technology and automated control through dedicated ground mission support centers currently in Stavanger and Houston, and future centers.
