Here’s a quick excerpt
Today, computers are almost ubiquitous on drilling rigs. They are used for a variety of operations like Measurement While Drilling (MWD), Logging While Drilling (LWD), Electronic Drilling Recorder (EDR), Mud logging, Mud pumping, Cementing, Fracturing, monitoring Top-Drives, Blow Out Preventers (BOP), Mud-Pits and many other functions. Computers placed on the rig-floor must be certified for deployment in Hazardous Locations or Explosive Atmospheres as defined by international safety standards. All Laversab Computers, Driller’s Displays and Smart Terminals are certified for use in Class 1, Division 1/Zone 1 or Division 2/Zone 2 areas.
