RigLifeby Novanex

For drilling contractors and oilfield service companies

Keep every rig certified, maintained and audit-ready.

RigLife tracks every piece of equipment from the mast to the last shackle: certificates against API, LOLER and ISO standards, maintenance by calendar or running hours, and field work done from the phone, even offline.

  • Arabic and English
  • Oilfield or metric units
  • Works offline on the rig

Built around the standards your auditors already check

  • API RP 4G
  • API RP 8B
  • API RP 7L
  • API Std 53
  • LOLER
  • ISO 14224
  • IEC 60079-17
  • NFPA 10

The problem

Rigs still run on spreadsheets, paper and WhatsApp

Every contractor knows what that costs. It shows up as a stopped job, a failed audit or a call in the middle of the night.

  • An expired sling certificate, found by the client’s auditor, stops the job.

  • A missed 250-hour service turns into a generator trip in the middle of the night.

  • Nobody is sure which breaker feeds the mud pump when it has to be isolated.

  • Nobody knows what last month’s downtime actually cost.

What RigLife does

One record for every piece of equipment

From the mast and the BOP stack to slings, shackles and gas detectors: who inspected it, what is due, what failed and what it cost.

  • Certificates and inspections

    Every certificate with its standard, issuer and expiry date. Alerts 30 days ahead, and the full history ready for the auditor.

  • Preventive maintenance

    Plans by calendar or running hours. Hours are logged in the field, and the next due date moves forward on its own.

  • Field work, offline

    Technicians scan the QR tag, follow the checklist with photos and readings, and sync when the signal comes back.

  • Electrical map and isolation

    Every motor is linked to its drive or breaker through a tagged cable, so the isolation points are on screen before anyone opens a cover.

  • Failures and downtime

    Failures coded to ISO 14224 and downtime costed at the rig’s day rate, so the worst offenders stand out.

  • Client portal and audit trail

    Give the operator’s company man read-only access, and keep a record of who changed what, and when.

Dashboard

See what needs action across every rig

One screen for the operations manager: what is expiring, what is overdue, what is open and what downtime is costing, rig by rig.

  • Certificate alerts 30 days ahead
  • Maintenance due by date or by running hours
  • Open work orders by priority
  • Downtime cost at contract day rates

Electrical safety

The breaker to lock out, before the cover comes off

Each motor is traced to its drive or MCC bucket through a tagged cable, and every equipment page starts with its isolation points.

  • Drive, cable, plug and panel tag for every motor
  • Cable specs and insulation-test certificates
  • A reconnection checklist after every rig move
  • Coming next: running hours and trips read straight from the drives

On the rig floor

Built for the people doing the work

The QR tag on the equipment opens its file: open work orders, checklists, last readings and certificates, in Arabic or English.

  • Works without signal and syncs when it returns
  • Photos and readings on every checklist item
  • Each technician sees their own rig and tasks

How it works

Three steps from spreadsheets to a live rig

  1. 1

    Load your equipment

    Send your equipment lists and certificates as they are, in Excel or PDF. We load them, print the QR tags and map every motor to its panel and cable.

  2. 2

    Set the rules

    Start from templates for API, LOLER and manufacturer intervals, then match them to each client’s requirements.

  3. 3

    Work from the field

    Technicians close work orders from the phone. Managers and clients follow every rig from the dashboard.
