About
Automate Offshore
We’ve been offshore. We’ve walked the decks, crawled the mud tanks, and done the dangerous manual cleaning that no one wants to do. Our team has been on almost every rig in the Gulf of Mexico.
That experience taught us two things:
-
The work is dangerous.
-
The industry has been sold a lot of lies about automation.
-
“You have to park the rig.” - Wrong
-
“It can’t be done.” - Wrong
-
“It’s too expensive.” - Wrong
The truth? Automation isn’t just possible, it’s necessary, and it’s cheaper than accidents, downtime, and lives lost.
That’s why we created Automate Offshore and built the Offshore Safety & Automation Standard (OSAS).
We are not a vendor. We are the neutral authority that makes sure automation gets done right. We certify, audit, and enforce the standard so operators, vendors, and rigs can implement automation safely, consistently, and profitably.
-
For Operators: We reduce risk, insurance costs, and downtime.
-
For Vendors: We create the rules of the game and the scoring system, so performance speaks louder than sales pitches.
-
For Workers: We eliminate the most dangerous jobs, replacing them with automation-first systems.
-
Our mission is simple:
We make dangerous work disappear.
We’re here to turn what the industry thought was “impossible” into the new standard for offshore safety.
OSAS 11 STEP PROCESS
01
Corporate Intake
Capture the operator’s automation philosophy, risk tolerance, OKRs/KPIs, and lessons learned. Align strategy before execution.
02
Rig Intake
Document rig-specific environment: layouts, constraints, crew concerns, incident history, and readiness for automation.
03
Vendor Intake
Audit vendor capabilities against OSAS requirements, performance history, innovation pipeline, and crew competency.
04
Survey & Baseline
Collect hard data: tank layouts, cycle times, crew exposure, waste handling, hazard assessment. Establish the baseline for improvement.
05
OSAS Design
Engineer the standardized work “recipe” using safety-by-design and automation-first principles. Specify automation, interlocks, and success criteria.
06
Implement & Train
Commission compliant equipment, integrate systems, and certify all personnel through OSAS competency standards.
07
Data Capture Setup
Install telemetry, sensors, timestamping, traceability, and tamper-evidence. Verify calibration and redundancy.
08
Execute Run
Perform the work strictly by the OSAS recipe. Capture full telemetry and log any deviations via Temporary Deviation Records (TDRs).
09
QA & After Action Review (AAR)
Inspect outcomes, review lessons learned with all stakeholders, and document corrective actions and future improvements.
10
CPI & SADI Scoring
Quantify performance.
-
SADI = Safety & Automation Design Index (how automated and engineered-out the hazards are).
-
CPI = Continuous Progress Index (how much safer and more efficient the process is compared to baseline).
11
Promote Proven Changes (MOC)
Institutionalize improvements. Feed them into the global OSAS recipe library so the whole industry levels up.
