Abstract
A system includes a rig control system for controlling rig equipment operable to perform drilling operations to drill a wellbore at a wellsite, and a blowout preventer (BOP) control system for controlling BOP equipment that is communicatively connected with the rig control system. The rig equipment includes a drawworks for conveying a drill string, at least one sensor operable to output rig data related to the rig equipment, and a rig control workstation to monitor and control the rig equipment. The BOP control system includes at least one sensor operable to output BOP data indicative of operational status of the BOP equipment. When the BOP data indicates that the BOP equipment is closed, the rig control system is operable to display on the rig control workstation information indicative of the BOP equipment being closed, and limit use of the rig control workstation to operate the drawworks.
