Bohr Instrument Services implemented the GENESIS32 software suite on its DRILL-PRO Total Drilling Information System to monitor drilling parameters across global oil and gas rigs. The system collects sensor data via PLCs and Modbus, displays it on local and remote HMIs, and supports alarm monitoring, vertical trending, and derived calculations such as rate of penetration and weight on bit. Data is stored with triple redundancy for both immediate and historical analysis.

Key takeaways

GENESIS32 suite (GraphWorX32, TrendWorX32, AlarmWorX32) provides real-time rig visualization and alarm management

Distributed I/O architecture with RS-232/Modbus and 802.11b wireless delivers data to drill floor and remote offices

Vertical trending stores data in RAM for immediate access and in Microsoft Access for historical analysis

System calculates derived KPIs including rate of penetration, weight on bit, hole volume, and pipe counts

Modular configuration supports customization, alarm limits, and screen selection via touch-screen HMI
