DrillSIM:Educator

The DrillSIM:Educator is a cutting-edge teaching tool that is specifically designed for delivering training scenarios in-line with course programmes.

The software displays interactive on-screen versions of the control panels present in simulator hardware to ensure a realistic experience that provides the end user with proven reliability and confidence.

The simulator combines interactive drilling controls with two graphic display screens to provide a visual understanding of drilling and well control operations.

These displays show what happens to surface equipment and what happens downhole during drilling operations to provide a comprehensive understanding of the practical operations taking place.

A modern classroom equipped with numerous workstations, each featuring a computer displaying a colorful screensaver. A large digital screen and whiteboard are visible at the front of the room.

DrillSim Downhole Model

DrillSIM:Educator includes the full DrillSIM downhole model which provides a dynamic 3D graphic visualisation of the actions taking place down a deviated well throughout a wide range of drilling operations.

“This significant investment in new simulator technology significantly strengthens our training capabilities and will enable us to train additional students and add more courses and qualifications to our portfolio.”

Michael Gautreaux, Executive Director, Nicholls State University

“We can explain, we can show them, we can tell them, but when you involve a student, they learn better. These concepts are hard to visualise and understand unless you’re actually in the middle of trying to do it.”
