BSEE Real-Time Monitoring (RTM) Requirements for OCS Operators 

BSEE has issued the Well Control Final Rule to consolidate existing well control rules into a revised regulation that addresses Blow Out Preventer (BOP) system design, performance and reliability. Operators will be required to gather, monitor and transmit to a monitoring onshore facility real-time well data using an independent, automatic, and continuous monitoring system.

One of the main industry concerns in response to RTM was that the requirement to transmit data in real-time would increase the risk for cyber attacks targeting off-shore control systems. If you want to learn how to protect yourself against such threats, download our free eBook
