Case Study: Saudi Aramco achieves faster, safer decision-making and reduced rig downtime with VSee

Study Shows Benefits of VSee for Oil Exploration & Production

Saudi Aramco needed a way to connect its Geosteering Operations Center (GOC) with remote drilling rigs and dispersed geoscientists/engineers—often over satellite links—to speed decisions, reduce costly rig downtime, and avoid after‑hours travel. To address this, Saudi Aramco worked with VSee to deploy the GOC Gateway, a VSee-powered collaboration system for real-time video, shared geological maps and cross sections, and remote control of shared applications.

VSee’s GOC Gateway enabled operations geologists, rig foremen and engineers to hold live video conferences, annotate and control shared applications as if co-located, which accelerated decision-making and optimized drilling operations. The VSee solution reduced rig downtime, lowered manpower and travel needs, and increased safety by cutting after-hours commuting, delivering measurable operational and safety improvements for Saudi Aramco.
