National Oilwell Varco (NOV) has announced the commercial launch of GoConnect condition monitoring services for intervention and stimulation equipment, which provide real-time process monitoring, predictive analytics and condition-based maintenance capabilities for NOV’s pressure pumping, coiled tubing, nitrogen and wireline equipment. The GoConnect system uses machine learning to provide data-driven insights into the condition, health and performance of customers’ equipment and operations. The GoConnect system’s capabilities allow customers to reduce downtime-related costs, enhance equipment performance and improve operational efficiencies of completion services.
“Condition monitoring and predictive analytics are changing the way we support, maintain and design our equipment, allowing us to deliver better uptime and performance for our customers,” said Clay Williams, Chairman, President and CEO of NOV. “Given that completions represent over two-thirds of the cost of a horizontal well in North America, expanding NOV’s condition monitoring offerings to support intervention and stimulation equipment operations was the next logical area to apply our industry-leading digital technologies and services. We believe GoConnect will help customers improve asset performance, utilization, and reliability while reducing costs.”
Asset Link, the first commercial product of a multi-tier GoConnect service offering, enables real-time data monitoring and tracking, and is now available to customers after extensive field trials. The second tier of service, Asset Insight, which supports root cause analysis of component failures through advanced diagnostics tools and improves asset management with real-time alerts and customizable reports, will be available by the Q3 of this year. Asset Optimization, the third tier of service, which incorporates proprietary algorithms developed by NOV’s technical equipment experts and data scientists to predict and prevent maintenance issues, will be available by the end of the year.
NOV’s GoConnect system for intervention and stimulation equipment is powered by NOV’s Max platform, which also powers NOV’s successful RigSentry condition monitoring system for drilling equipment. By unifying the company’s digital solutions, products, and services through the Max platform, NOV will be able to more effectively help the industry reduce costs while improving the performance and reliability of critical equipment.

Max platform IDENTIFYING FAILURE BEFORE IT HAPPENS
When a critical rig component is about to fail, rig personnel may have only hours to act before drilling comes to a halt. Unfortunately, the warning signs of failure are often fragmented and buried in sensor data without an easy way to foresee imminent issues.
Imagine knowing which changeable components are at high risk of failure with 14 days of lead time to make decisions about mitigation. End-of-well maintenance is no longer a mystery: it becomes targeted, efficient and proactive. Having this predictive capability isn’t science fiction – it’s proven problem-solving made possible by Max™.
Max is NOV’s industrial data platform and associated services that enable the large-scale collection, aggregation, accessibility and analytics of real-time equipment data. Max handles all data from a variety of sources including land rigs, offshore rigs, service equipment and manufacturing facilities.
Rig uptime is valuable, and it takes the right information to run operations with confidence. Through modern predictive analytics powered by an integrated data platform, we can maintain awareness of component health and provide the tools needed to detect degradation of components before it causes downtime.
NOV’s latest innovative breakthrough is the development of an end-to-end predictive solution to foresee operational failures in critical components of subsea blowout preventers (BOPs), with a prediction horizon of 14 days. This solution is the result of a team of engineers, data scientists and subsea experts analyzing more than 14 years of historical data and maintenance logs paired with 60 years of design and manufacturing experience.
BOPs are just the beginning. Early identification of failure modes will be made available to customers as part of RIGSENTRY™, NOV’s family of condition monitoring systems and services, to enable condition-based predictive maintenance of all rig equipment.
Rigsentry Rig Monitoring
Rigsentry Rig Monitoring products and services provide a detailed view of the health of NOV equipment and empowers you to operate and maintain it more effectively. Rigsentry bridges the technological gaps between traditional maintenance, CBM, and other maintenance optimization approaches. Accurate information about equipment health enables predictive maintenance programs, contributing toward continuous recertification where major services and overhauls are triggered by equipment condition. The move to a CBM model changes the way you schedule and execute maintenance, helping you spend your maintenance efforts where they count the most.
Rig Insight
Through a network of native and CM sensors, Rig Insight gives you a snapshot of your topside equipment. Smart notifications turn equipment data into usable condition information based on usage patterns. A notification is sent when there is a immediate concern – providing you with inspection instructions or recommend actions. Portal access is available on a continuous basis allowing you to visualize equipment data and view reports on demand.
Rig Predictive
Rig Predictive builds upon the information provided through Rig Insight, and takes your data further. Predictive analytics provide proactive notifications that warn you of potential failure modes, allowing you to address the problem without compromising safety or the well plan. Incorporating specialized sensors along with wear and fatigue calculations, we monitor and report on equipment lifespan. By using a combination of equipment knowledge, operational data, and condition monitoring data, you can achieve a CBM schedule that aligns with your operational plan.
Rig CBM Services
As the OEM, we have the most comprehensive knowledge of NOV equipment and systems, down to the engineering tolerances at the component level. Use that expertise to help you estimate when components or systems are nearing their end-of-life or plan an equipment change out or repair. We will work with you to create a tailored program that will reduce the total cost of ownership for your drilling equipment.
