Drilling Rig Audit App

Drilling Rig Audit App turns drilling rig audits into a scored, repeatable programme. Auditors score each drilling rig against weighted criteria, attach photo evidence, and track corrective actions to verified closure across every site. Managers compare drilling rig audit scores across sites and track every corrective action to closure.

What is Drilling Rig Audit App?

Drilling Rig Audit App runs a scored drilling rig audit covering derrick, mast, and crown block, drawworks, brakes, and wire rope, top drive or rotary and mud system, blowout preventer and accumulator, and power, generators, and electrical classification, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, drilling rig findings live on paper and in chat. A drilling rig fault such as drawworks brake or wire rope wear slips through. An audit then means rebuilding drilling rig evidence from folders.

Drilling Rig Audit App keeps one record per drilling rig and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each drilling rig finding is tracked to verified closure. Drilling and rig crews see drilling rig completion and overdue actions across the energy & utilities portfolio. Every drilling rig record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

What to Include in a Drilling Rig Audit App?

A comprehensive drilling rig audit covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Audit drilling rig operations with structured scoring, evidence records, and follow-up tracking. Your audit should include sections for derrick, mast, and crown block; drawworks, brakes, and wire rope; and top drive or rotary and mud system, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every audit finding is traceable.

How to Use Drilling Rig Audit App

A scored audit only helps if every auditor scores the same way. Follow these steps to run a drilling rig audit:

  1. 1Open the drilling rig audit template, which carries weighted criteria and a scoring scheme.
  2. 2Score each drilling rig against the criteria and attach photo evidence for any non-conformance.
  3. 3Let the app calculate the section and overall drilling rig score so the site is comparable to others.
  4. 4Raise a corrective action for each failed drilling rig criterion with an owner and due date.
  5. 5Sign off the drilling rig audit. The scorecard and branded report generate automatically.

What Does a Drilling Rig Audit Cover?

A drilling rig audit scores condition against API drilling standards and DSEAR and well control rules, checking derrick, mast, and crown block, drawworks, brakes, and wire rope, top drive or rotary and mud system, blowout preventer and accumulator, power, generators, and electrical classification, and walkways, handrails, and dropped-object controls. Each drilling rig finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the failing point. So the drilling rig audit becomes a traceable evidence pack, not an ageing spreadsheet.

How Drilling Rig Audit App Scores a Drilling Rig Audit

  1. Worker in hard hat and mask pointing at a refinery while holding a clipboard at sunset

    Score Consistently

    Weighted criteria are built into the drilling rig audit template.

  2. Two workers in hard hats and hi-vis vests viewed from behind facing a refinery at sunset

    Evidence Every Finding

    Auditors attach photo proof for each drilling rig non-conformance.

  3. Engineer in hard hat and hi-vis vest on the phone holding a tablet before wind turbines

    Compare and Act

    Scorecards rank sites and failed drilling rig criteria become corrective actions.

What Drilling Rig Teams Fix When Audits Are Scored the Same Way Everywhere

Drilling Rig work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Drilling Rig Audit App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.

Drag to compare a day before and after InspectWrk.

  1. Drawworks brake or wire rope wear, BOP or accumulator faults, mud pump or system leaks, electrical classification breaches on the drilling rig are fixed, then reappear weeks later. Each drilling rig defect is treated as fresh because nobody sees it is the third time this quarter. The drilling rig root cause is never addressed.

    Where it breaks

    • Repeat drilling rig defects treated as new every time
    • No history tying findings to the same drilling rig
    • Budget spent re-fixing the same drilling rig problem

    What changes

    • Full defect history per drilling rig
    • Recurring issue detection flags repeat drilling rig problems
    • Root-cause drilling rig work prioritised by evidence
  2. There is no live view of drilling rig status across sites. The first sign that something failed on the drilling rig is a client call or an incident, by which point the problem is already public.

    Where it breaks

    • No live view of drilling rig status across sites
    • Drilling Rig problems surface as complaints, not as data
    • Drilling Rig risk is invisible until it becomes an incident

    What changes

    • Live multi-site dashboard of drilling rig completion and open issues
    • Drilling Rig risk scoring flags sites trending to failure
    • Configurable dashboards filter drilling rig results by site and date
  3. One auditor is strict, another is lenient, and a third skips sections. The drilling rig audit scores come back, but leadership cannot tell whether a low score means a weak site or a tough auditor.

    Where it breaks

    • Drilling Rig scoring depends on which auditor showed up
    • Drilling rig sections get skipped with no record
    • Drilling Rig scores are not comparable across sites

    What changes

    • Weighted drilling rig criteria baked into the audit template
    • Mandatory drilling rig sections, so nothing is skipped
    • Comparable drilling rig scores that roll up across the estate

Drilling Rig Audit App runs a scored drilling rig audit against API drilling standards and DSEAR and well control rules, checking derrick, mast, and crown block, drawworks, brakes, and wire rope, top drive or rotary and mud system, blowout preventer and accumulator, and power, generators, and electrical classification. Each finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the point it fails, then routed to an owner with a deadline. It stays open until a reviewer verifies the fix, so the audit becomes a traceable evidence pack for drilling and rig crews rather than an ageing spreadsheet. Because scoring is built into the template, two sites assessed by two people produce numbers you can compare fairly.

The audit targets the drilling rig failures that matter most: drawworks brake or wire rope wear, BOP or accumulator faults, mud pump or system leaks, and electrical classification breaches. Left unchecked, a fault such as drawworks brake or wire rope wear can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so drilling and rig crews fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.

Drilling Rig Audit App keeps drilling rig checks aligned to API drilling standards and DSEAR and well control rules. The photos each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, drilling and rig crews pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.

Yes. Drilling Rig Audit App is offline-first: teams complete drilling rig checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So drilling and rig crews get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.

Every completed drilling rig audit carries wire rope condition photo, bop test record, and derrick inspection note, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, drilling and rig crews can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
