Equipment Return

The business priority for every oil and gas producer is to maintain the operational performance of their drilling platforms.

Consequently, equipment returns are most often dictated by the needs of the drilling platform – not to mention other factors such as transport availability and the weather – rather than any pre-planned scheduling. For the hirer, this can mean equipment arriving without warning and not always at the most
convenient time.

The hirer is then faced with the challenge of immediately identifying, assessing and recording any missing items or damage inflicted. Containerised items also need to be individually checked, together with attached items such as slings or shackles.

PHALANX streamlines the process and makes it easy for operational staff to check in items more efficiently and with greater accuracy than ever before.

Tagged items can be checked quickly. PHALANX identifies each piece of equipment and provides key historical data, such as last known condition and original attached items. Back office integration ensures that all returns information is relayed, in real time, to the finance team. The next steps, such as servicing and repair, are automatically scheduled.
