The world-class
drilling & well control
simulator.
Wellwatch™ is the cloud-native industrial simulation platform that puts your engineers, drillers and operators inside a real drilling rig — with real physics, DCS-grade instrumentation, immersive VR and full IWCF Level 3 / Level 4 assessment compliance.
BUILT, DEPLOYED & ASSESSED WITH
One cloud system. The entire drilling & well control operation.
From spud to TD, Wellwatch™ simulates every drilling phase with reservoir physics, drilling-fluid hydraulics, string mechanics and full well control. It is the modern, cloud-native alternative to legacy systems like Drillsystems and Drilling Systems — with the flexibility of a SaaS and pricing accessible to academies, operators and service companies.
Fully aligned with IWCF Level 3 & Level 4 assessment standards.
Every IWCF checklist item — Driller's display screens, Surface & Subsea BOP stacks, Remote Choke, Data Recording, Software, Failure scenarios and Assessment environment — is implemented and evidenced in production. Wellwatch™ ships with the AC-0126 Virtual Simulator Model Checklist signed and the AC-0062 / AC-0018 evidence dossier ready for submission.

The same chair that runs a real rig — now in your classroom.
Our Driller's CyberChair replicates the exact ergonomics of a modern offshore driller's cabin: two armrest touchscreen HMIs, twin industrial joysticks, hardware emergency stops and foot pedals. In front, an ultra-wide main display drives the photorealistic 3D rig view in real time. Underneath, a calibrated haptic vibration actuator reproduces the feel of the drawworks, top drive and string vibration — exactly the realism the majors (Schlumberger, Halliburton, NOV) demand from a Level-4 simulator.
Real-time formation evaluation — the same panel your geologists read offshore.
Logging While Drilling rendered in real time on the CyberChair: Gamma Ray, Resistivity, Density/Neutron, Caliper, Total Gas, ROP, NMR Porosity & Permeability, PWD, Sonic and Spectral GR — plus C1/C2 chromatography and live lithology. Critical events (HIGH GAS, HC CROSSOVER) flash on the same screen the driller is watching, so the trainee learns to correlate the kick, the gas peak and the formation change in the exact moment they happen on a real rig.
Twin armrest HMIs
Touchscreens on BOTH arms — left arm runs mud system, pumps, trends and P&ID; right arm runs BOP / choke / kill sheet.
Main 3D wall display
Ultra-wide front screen mirrors the live 3D CyberChair rig floor view — derrick, drawworks, rotary table, top drive, all animated from the same physics engine.
Industrial controls
Real joysticks (drawworks + top drive), illuminated push-buttons, E-stop mushroom, brake & throttle foot pedals — wired, not emulated.
Haptic vibration realism
Integrated vibration actuator in the chair base reproduces rotation, vibration through the string, kicks and shock loads — what students FEEL stays with them.
Classroom-ready
Plug-and-play: one 230V socket and an Ethernet cable. Instructor station observes both armrest screens + main display on a single console.
Identical to the real cabin
Built to the same dimensions, button layout and visibility cone as the operational driller's chairs used on jack-ups, semi-subs and land rigs.
Built by engineers, for engineers.
Every component of Wellwatch™ was designed by active drilling professionals — with technical review by IWCF instructors and real rig operators. No marketing mock-ups, no generic LMS — a true industrial simulator.
Real physics
H-Q curves, ECD, BHP, friction, kick detection — not animation, real physics.
IWCF aligned
Kill sheets, BOP stack, SI/API metrics, AC-0062/126/018 compliant.
Multi-level
From junior operator to senior driller — progressive difficulty paths.
3D CyberChair
Photorealistic driller's chair with panoramic motion and derrick control.
Live analytics
Multi-tag trends, snapshots and CSV export for IWCF reports.
Cloud native
Accessible from any browser. Zero installation. SSO ready.
DCS-ready
OPC-UA compatible architecture for integration with real SCADA systems.
Historian
High-resolution process history, signed plots for assessor submission.
Wellwatch vs. Traditional Training
Why modern operators and academies are switching from legacy classroom-only courses to cloud-native simulation.
Twenty production screens. Zero mockups.
A walkthrough of the modules every IWCF candidate, instructor and operator touches in a real assessment.
Put the goggles on. Enter the rig.
Our virtual-reality module rebuilds a full offshore rig — rig floor, BOP stack, mud system, doghouse, monkey board, camp and helipad. Trainees walk, climb stairs, inspect equipment and practice procedures in the same scenario they will face in the field.

“Wellwatch is the first simulator that closed the gap between what we teach in the classroom and what actually happens on a real rig. Our students arrive in the field already knowing how to operate.”
