The fleet: the part of it that runs onshore.🌐
Reach Horizon is the software side of the fleet. It is how a job happening offshore is reached from onshore — the live picture, the data coming back, and the people with the authority to make a call, in the same place at the same time.
Three plain things about it.
It has been in use for 1,5 year on live jobs, on Reach Remote 1 and 2. It runs on conventional vessels as well, and we are extending it across the rest of the fleet. It is not something we are planning to build.
It does not run from one control room. The shape of it is a network — operations run from multiple onshore hubs, and a job can be supported from more than one of them at once. The vessel and the survey do not have to be run from the same place, or even the same continent. We have run vessel operations in Australia with the survey supported from Norway, and entire operations from Norway for vessel working in UK waters.
Reach Relay is the part that moves the data. Getting a survey picture back to shore fast enough to make a decision on it is a separate engineering problem from steering a vessel, and it is solved separately.
Horizon changes where people sit and what they can see. The job still needs a surveyor, a pilot, and someone with the authority to stop the work.
Horizon has proved useful beyond our own teams. Clients take part in a job through it, and so do the outside experts a decision sometimes needs. They are in it while the work is happening, not reading about it afterwards.
