Use of models in drilling

The purpose of this report is to discuss challenges and opportunities associated with the use of model-controlled operations, particularly relating to how the models and data from the models can be used in a safe way, both in safety and ICT security perspective. The main focus is on drilling operations. This report is one of six SINTEF reports from the project entitled: “ICT security – Robustness in the petroleum sector 2020”. The project has collated knowledge relating to risks, vulnerabilities and ICT security for industrial ICT systems. The report is a translation of the SINTEF report 2021:00056 (in Norwegian).
