FAQ

TORQUE, DRAG & MECHANICS

How do we deploy and use this simulation in practice? What hardware tiers are supported?

Deploy on-prem, private cloud, or isolated networks. Supported hardware tiers: X1/X2/X3 simulators, Workstation, Laptop, and Endeavor.One. Teams can also rent the Endeavor Experience Center for executive demos, assessments, or multi-crew exercises. Typical session: configure scenario parameters, run the study and/or simulation session, review KPIs, and export results.

Can we import our own well data and tool parameters? Which formats and integrations are supported?

Yes. Import well data via WITSML 1.4/2.0 or CSV/JSON, or ingest parameters directly through RADAR7.  Field inputs—well schematics, logs, tool states, rates, and pressures—initialize a runtime digital twin model of the well for physics-based training and operational planning (Drilling Well on Simulator).  APIs and versioned adapters are customized upon request.

How accurate is this model in real operations, and how do you handle validation and limits?
What inputs and outputs does this simulation produce, and how do we export results?

Inputs typically include the operation configuration—well profile or trajectory, fluid properties, equipment and tool states, boundary conditions, and rate or pressure schedules. Outputs and KPIs capture the scenario’s hydraulic, mechanical, and fluid responses, including pressure and flow behavior across the system, evolving fluid properties, and equipment performance. Results also capture event detection and time-based cause-and-effect responses to operator actions. Detailed datasets, replays, and assessment metrics can be exported for engineering review, training records, or planning documentation.

What are the security, access control, and support expectations for enterprise deployment?

Enterprise deployments support role-based access control, secure authentication, and encryption of data in transit and at rest. The platform can be deployed on-premises, in a private cloud, or in an isolated environment to meet operational and regulatory requirements. Support is provided under defined SLA tiers, with controlled release management and long-term support options available for production environments.

DEPLOYMENT-INDEPENDENT SCENARIOS

Run this simulation anywhere.

Every scenario in Endeavor’s simulation library can run individually or as part of the complete suite on any simulation deployment. Move between X-Series hardware, workstation, laptop, and streamed access without rebuilding the scenario or changing its RuntimePhysics™ behavior.
