Kongsberg Oil & Gas Technologies AS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kongsberg Gruppen ASA (KONGSBERG), has signed a four-year, multi-million dollar drilling data contract with Vienna-based OMV Group for all of its global drilling activities.

The contract calls for KONGSBERG to equip OMV with the SiteCom® real-time operations support solution, which will provide 24/7 monitoring and support services to OMV headquarters and globally to all their drilling locations. The system will allow OMV local drilling teams to access real-time data and to use the tools to decrease operational risk, improve well construction and placement, increase long-term productivity and hence improve the economies of its projects.

Real-time drilling data is gathered on the rig from all connected sources, including mudlogging service, directional drilling service, cementing and special operations.
