Starlink
Seadrill’s innovative offshore drilling approach integrates Starlink, SpaceX’s satellite internet service, using low Earth orbit satellites for high-speed, low-latency connectivity. This enhances efficiency, safety, and sustainability through real-time data transfer, remote monitoring, virtual training, and collaboration. Starlink allows onshore experts to analyze real-time data and video feeds with the rig crew. Its secure connectivity ensures seamless communication between offshore and onshore teams, supporting technologies like computer vision and edge-based AI. On the West Saturn drillship, Starlink improved uptime, cut costs, and boosted crew morale by strengthening family connections and providing access to online services.
Starlink, SpaceX’s satellite internet service, provides high-speed, low-latency internet worldwide, especially in remote areas. Using a constellation of low Earth orbit satellites, it delivers reliable connectivity, transforming internet access in even the most challenging environments.
Starlink’s high-speed Wi-Fi empowers the West Minerva, our real-time operations center to connect offshore rigs with onshore teams, enhancing PLATO data analysis, remote monitoring, and decision-making for optimized efficiency and safety.
Starlink’s high-speed Wi-Fi boosts the efficiency of tools like the Azenzus digital inspection app, enabling real-time data sharing between offshore and onshore teams. This streamlines reporting, improves safety checks, and ensures our rigs operate at peak performance.
For offshore employees working long hitches at sea, having fast and unlimited satellite internet onboard significantly improves everyday life. From seeing the smiling faces of kids in the morning to being able to connect with family after a 12-hour shift is the best way for crews to have peace of mind.
