Drilling Decisions Are Made Under Continuously Changing Conditions
Drilling operations do not unfold in discrete steps. Pressure states evolve, formation behavior varies, and operational constraints shift in real time — often faster than static planning assumptions can account for. Decisions must be made with incomplete information, under time pressure, and with limited tolerance for error.
Traditional simulations reset scenarios to predefined states. Endeavor’s drilling simulations are designed to operate differently — maintaining continuity as conditions change, so teams can rehearse decisions in environments that behave like real operations.
PLATFORM BEHAVIOR
How the Platform Handles Drilling Operations
The drilling domain within Endeavor’s platform is built to reflect how operations actually progress — continuously, contextually and without artificial resets.
Drilling simulations persist as operational conditions evolve, allowing decisions to be evaluated within a continuously advancing system state, without restarting or simplifying execution.
Drilling, well control, and pressure-management decisions are resolved within the running system as behavior changes in real time.
Multiple roles interact within the same authoritative simulation state, preserving shared context as operations evolve.
These behaviors are inherent to the platform and apply consistently across drilling simulations, DWOS execution, and integrated workflows.
DOMAIN APPLICATIONS
How the Platform Supports Drilling Operations
The drilling domain spans routine operations and high-consequence scenarios. Endeavor’s platform supports a range of drilling applications that require continuous simulation behavior and decision-level realism.
Drilling Simulations
Immersive, high risk scenario training without the real-world risk.
Drilling simulations apply Endeavor’s runtime platform to a broad range of drilling operations, including routine procedures and high-consequence events. Simulations execute within a continuously evolving system state, supporting operational rehearsal and scenario evaluation without artificial resets.

Operational Simulation (DWOS)
Use live rig data to simulate, test, and improve real-time decisions.
Operational simulation applies live or historical rig data to a running digital representation of the well. Drilling decisions and parameter changes are resolved within the active system, supporting evaluation of operational strategies under evolving conditions.

Drilling as Part of a Shared Simulation Platform
Drilling simulations operate within Endeavor’s broader runtime simulation platform — allowing drilling scenarios to share architecture, execution behavior, and modeling foundations with other operational domains. This approach enables consistency across training, planning, and research without fragmenting systems or workflows.
