Abstract As every motorist knows, a vehicle’s dashboard is an important interface that alerts the driver of real-time changes regarding certain car engine "health?? metrics and alerts the driver that the engine may need to be serviced. While not a diagnostic tool in and of itself, the dashboard serves to alert the driver that a performance or health issue may exist. Blowout Preventer (BOP) equipment is designed to secure the well and a BOP’s health is critical to ensuring that it works as designed. A realtime BOP dashboard can improve communication between operations personnel, rig contractor subsea engineers and the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to assess potential BOP health issues. This paper describes a development process for a BOP dashboard and discusses the potential benefits, challenges, and lessons learned associated with implementing a BOP monitoring system.
