DrillDocs and Aker BP Expand Computer Vision Deployment Across Offshore Rigs

Jun 16, 2026
DrillDocs and Aker BP are expanding the use of the CleanSight digital shaker surveillance system under a framework technology agreement after successful validation on the Noble Integrator rig.

DrillDocs and Aker BP are expanding the deployment of DrillDocs' CleanSight digital shaker surveillance system under a framework technology agreement, announced in a press release. The latest installation is on Odfjell Drilling's Deepsea Nordkapp rig, following earlier validation on the Noble Integrator.

The CleanSight system applies computer vision to monitor drilling operations by analyzing material returning to the surface. It provides data on size, shape, and quantity of cuttings, enabling crews to detect and respond to wellbore instability in near real time. The system has reduced non-productive circulating time and improved early detection of cavings, according to the companies.

The framework agreement supports further technology development between DrillDocs and Aker BP. It aims to extend CleanSight across Aker BP’s contracted rig fleet and explore additional digital solutions that enhance drilling efficiency and safety.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
