Rig instrumentation

Rig instrumentation involves the deployment of various sensors and measurement devices on an oil or gas drilling rig to monitor and control the drilling process. These instruments track parameters such as pressure, temperature, flow rates, and equipment performance in real-time. This data helps operators ensure safe, efficient drilling operations, detect issues early, and optimize performance. Essentially, rig instrumentation serves as the rig’s nervous system, providing critical information that guides decision-making and maintains safety during the complex drilling process.
