Oslo Stock Exchange-listed oil services company Archer has joined forces with Horizon56, an oil and gas operations process optimization and workflow digitalization specialist, to launch a new solution, which will digitalize operating procedures (SOPs) in a bid to bolster rig safety and efficiency.

This adds a new product to Horizon56’s portfolio, known as the digital RigGuide offering, which has been created in collaboration with Archer to enhance operational safety and efficiency through – what is said to be – “a consistent and structured approach” to the creation, editing, and control of digital rig operating procedures, enabling global standard templates applicable for a fleet of rigs while also allowing for rig-specific content.
