Latest & Greatest From Industrial3D: Animation for Unit's New, High-Tech Rig Known As The BOSS

Unit Drilling Company has a new, high-tech rig known as the BOSS. The new drilling gear is known as a BOSS rig, which is short for a box-on-box self-stacking rig.

It has become standard practice in much of the oil patch for companies to drill up to a dozen wells from the same drilling pad in different directions and into different rock layers. The BOSS rig is designed to move quickly around a pad to accommodate multiple wells.

The BOSS will be equipped with two 2,200 horsepower mud pumps and will be designed to move easily.

The first of the new rigs is expected online by the end of the year. It will then be put into service in the Texas Panhandle or in western Oklahoma. Unit then plans to begin working on its second new rig, which will be used in North Dakota.

Tulsa-based company's high-tech rig offers design, technology for the future

Unit Corp. is working on a new type of drilling rig that will be assembled at the Tulsa company's Oklahoma City yard.

In its 50th year, Tulsa-based Unit Corp. is looking to boost its drilling rig operations with a new, high-tech rig that will be assembled at its Oklahoma City manufacturing center

“We went 20 years in this industry with no new technology, but in the last 10 years everything's changed,” Unit CEO Larry Pinkston said.

Pinkston and other Unit executives and employees were in Oklahoma City this week to celebrate the company's 50th anniversary.

The new drilling gear is known as a BOSS rig, which is short for a box-on-box self-stacking rig.

“It will be the only rig in the industry with this type of design,” Pinkston said. “With this rig, we've looked at all the new rigs that are coming through the industry over the last three or four years and have taken what we've liked off all those different rigs and put it all on this rig.”

Pinkston said the company's new rig is designed to meet the rapidly changing needs of the oil and natural gas industry.

“One of the most exciting things right now in the industry is that it's almost like the oil and gas industry is starting over,” he said. “We're going back into old fields, drilling wells with a wonderful rate of return in fields that haven't had wells drilled in them in 20 years.”

It has become standard practice in much of the oil patch for companies to drill up to a dozen wells from the same drilling pad in different directions and into different rock layers. The BOSS rig is designed to move quickly around a pad to accommodate multiple wells.

“It used to be that to take a rig down and put it back up was a three- to four-day process. Now you can skid a rig in a couple of hours,” Pinkston said. “That's a tremendous efficiency gain during the drilling process.”

The rig will be equipped with two 2,200 horsepower mud pumps and will be designed to move easily.

“Everything you would like to see in technology, the rig will have it,” Pinkston said.

The first of the new rigs is expected online by the end of the year. It will then be put into service in the Texas Panhandle or in western Oklahoma.

Unit then plans to begin working on its second new rig, which will be used in North Dakota.

“At a minimum, we need four to five out in the field running,” Pinkston said. “We really think with customer demand we will have more than that.”

In an August analyst presentation, Pinkston said the BOSS rigs will cost about $20 million to build and complete. Rigs designed for delivery in Wyoming and North Dakota cost up to an additional $2 million to prepare them for the cold climate.

New 3D Animation for GeoTek Energy

GeoTek’s Gravity Head Energy System represents the “Next Generation” in geothermal power plants. GeoTek has developed the first major technological advancement in geothermal power generation in the last 50 years. It uses the forces found in nature to eliminate the need for extensive pumping requirements inherent to the conventional binary cycle. This improves the overall plant efficiency by 25-30% by placing key equipment downhole, making for a smaller plant footprint on the surface.

CNBC Covers Industrial3D's acquisition to Check-6

CNBC picks up the story about Industrial3D's acquisition with Check-6.

In The News! Tulsa World: Visual Aid On Board: Check6, Industrial3D combine operations.

Check-6, Industrial3D combine operations

Brian "Bru" Brurud knows that when teaching safety and best practices for dangerous equipment, showing is better than telling.

To help with the showing part, Brurud - founder of Tulsa-based safety consultant company Check-6 - would turn to Beau Brown, president of Industrial3D, an animation company also based in Tulsa.

They realized they had many of the same clients in the oil and gas industry, for which they created safety plans and training videos for drilling equipment.

"We worked with Beau for a number of years, but we would use his products over the course of our interactive simulations," Brurud said. "As our relationship became tighter and more intertwined, it made sense from a linear integration standpoint that an acquisition or merger of the two made a lot of sense."

Check-6 announced earlier this month it had acquired Industrial3D; the companies now share a downtown office and hope to expand both of their operations.

As a former fighter pilot, Brurud knows the importance of watching his back and more importantly, his wingman's back. It's "checking their 6," referring to the 6 position on a clock face and used in a directional sense to mean the person's rear flank, he said.

In his career as a fighter pilot, Brurud was shot at 17 times, he said.

"In every case, I was never the first one who saw the missile come up because I was busy," he said. "That's what saved my life was this planning, discipline and this check-6 culture that I was trained in.

"The translation to that into the oil field is exactly the same. It's an equally hazardous environment - unseen hazards that can reach up and bite you."

Check-6 was founded in 2007 when an offshore drilling rig operator asked Brurud and some colleagues about their military training and how it could translate to drilling safety, citing a report that found the so-called "best practices" in the military could greatly improve safety in other industries.

"He said, 'We seem to do things twice, more than I'm comfortable with, and we're hurting people,' " Brurud said. "That's what started Check-6 ... a training syllabus that we deployed out to drilling rigs."

Those techniques include extensive planning for every contention, communication and a debrief after the task is complete.

"We take techniques that work on aircraft carriers, that every three years have 100 percent turnover of a 5,000 crew component on a nuclear -powered vessel," Brurud said. "To be able to launch and recover aircraft safely and efficiently on it with the average age of 21 is quite a remarkable feat."

Check-6 has since grown to have offices worldwide and works with several big oil and gas players, he said.

Brown said he worked in drafting and design before signing up for the U.S. Marine Corps. Once he got out, the world had changed, he said.

"I came back from the Marine Corps and everybody is in computers," Brown said. "I didn't even know what a mouse was. I had been in the Philippines and Somalia. I was embarrassed and said, I'm going to master this."

He did computer design as a hobby for several years before he was able to expand it to full time and found Industrial3D. The company's work has been featured on CNN and Natural Geographic, and used by companies such as Pioneer Drilling, Transocean and Tulsa-based Helmerich & Payne Inc.

Brown said he realized about 40 percent of his business was already with Check-6, and he was referring some of his customers looking for safety training to Check-6, so the acquisition made sense for both companies. Now they hope to expand the design staff and operate in more locations, Brown said.

Business WirePress Release: Check-6, Inc. – Tue, Jun 18, 2013 10:00 AM EDT

TULSA, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 

Check-6, Inc. is announcing the acquisition of Industrial3D, one of the world’s most well-respected computer-generated industrial animators. The announcement was made June 10^th at the Check-6 Board Meeting in Ft. Worth, Texas. 

 “We are extremely pleased to be able to announce that I3D is joining the Check-6 family,” said Yarko “JJ” Sos, Chief Executive Officer. “Beau Brown and his staff bring an incredible wealth of creativity and focus to their work. His experience and engineering insights bring to light what drillers and operators cannot see underground, and that has been invaluable, even life-saving to the industry.” 

 Beau Brown, President of Industrial3D, began creating computer animation in 1995 in his spare time while working in the oil and gas industry. His service in the Marine Corps paid off in persistence and resourcefulness, as he began to learn a technology that few people knew existed. When a member of management saw one of Beau’s 3D animations of a Pressure Relief Valve, he began creating more complex animations for the industry, and his hobby became his full-time job. In 2002 Brown created Industrial3D, based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. A few years later his 3D animations aided CNN in worldwide coverage of the BP Macondo disaster that was taking place a mile beneath the ocean’s surface in the Gulf of Mexico.

Industrial3D’s satisfied clients include CNN, as well as National Geographic, Schlumberger, GE, Helmerich & Payne, Pioneer Drilling, and Transocean.

“We are thrilled to be taking this new step with Check-6,” said Beau Brown, President of Industrial3D. “We have been working with the simulator wing of Check-6 for the past few years. We help Check-6 Training Systems graphically portray potential on-the-job hazards for their clients, so rig personnel can use these tools on their own computers for continuous and effective training. With Check-6’s focus on leadership, training, and safety, and our ability to help their clients ‘see’ the potential hazards, it is a perfect combination. We look forward with great anticipation to our future with Check-6.”

Logo Design

A logo is your company's major graphical representation to symbolize your oganization, company, business, school, store, etc. It anchors your company's brand, is a distinguished mark of your company, and becomes the most visible manifestation for people to recognize your company within your market. The more unique, eye-catching and attractive your logo, the more set apart your company will be from other companies. Think of a logo as the face of your business. It offers an appeal that no other branding tool can provide. People tend to remember logos better than names, so a good logo will often be easier for people to remember than the name of your business or company. Because of this, a professionally designed logo is essential to your company's marketing strategy.
