DrillSIM:5

The DrillSIM:5 is a software-based simulator that delivers a wide range of real-time drilling and well control simulations. 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 DrillSIM:5 is a fully portable solution that allows a single user to practice individual exercises away from a training centre at any time or offers the ability to create a sophisticated multi-station training environment in the classroom when used in conjunction with DrillSIM:Suite Manager.

DrillSIM Suite Manager

A DrillSIM software package license can be added to DrillSIM:5 to create a multi-station training environment. Simulations can be observed, monitored and managed from one central instructor station that provides data on the student activity and progress on each simulator.
