Keystone is designed to tie together the needs for control of equipment from both the land side and the rig.  People on the rig can easily see what equipment they have on the rig and the documentation that accompanies the equipment. In addition, the rig can easily send requests for more equipment thru the system.

Keystone also provides the opportunity for offshore storage and shelf placement. A very useful feature when there is little storage space on the rig. It is easy to find out what equipment is currently on the rig and whether you are done using it. To return the equipment you no longer need saves a lot of space in the offshore warehouse.

From the land side the operations are running smoothly and with full control. The people working form land receive the requests for equipment and provides the necessary items to meet the request. Keystones alert system notifies the user if an item needs maintenance or an update of the Certificate. In addition, monitoring of all third party equipment so that it can be sent back to the provider and thereby avoid expensive day rates on equipment that you are not using, cuts costs dramatically.
