Inside Aquila Digital: How We’re Expanding Our Expertise Beyond Oil & Gas
July 9th, 2025
Building the future of industrial innovation across different industries
Aquila Engineering has long been recognized for its cutting-edge digital BOP testing services and real-time monitoring systems in offshore oil and gas. But now, with the launch of Aquila Digital, we're entering a bold new chapter. In this blog, we share how we’re expanding our digital expertise beyond oil and gas into industries like mining, renewables, and heavy industry without compromising the precision, safety, and innovation we’re known for.
In this blog… We’ll explore why Aquila Digital was created, how our legacy in BOP engineering and real-time monitoring fuels our new cross-industry solutions, and what this expansion means for companies outside the oil and gas sector. Whether you’re in mining, energy, or any sector relying on industrial testing, data, or remote monitoring, we’re here to help you unlock new levels of performance and reliability.
1. Why Aquila Digital?
After years of delivering mission-critical digital solutions to offshore rigs—from digital BOP testing software to real-time monitoring systems for pressure and well integrity—our team saw an opportunity. The same challenges faced in subsea drilling: complex infrastructure, the need for precision testing, remote operations, and data traceability exist in other industries too.
That’s where Aquila Digital comes in. It’s our new branch dedicated to delivering custom software solutions, digital transformation tools, and remote monitoring capabilities to other industries, for example:
Mining (for equipment diagnostics, safety tracking, and predictive maintenance)
Renewables (for turbine performance data, condition monitoring, and operational analytics)
Industrial operations (for automated testing, digital workflows, and real-time tracking systems)
By repurposing our deep knowledge of digital BOP testing efficiency and remote digital pressure testing, we’re now helping more industries transition from manual processes to digital ecosystems.
2. From Oilfield to Open Field: Applying Our Core Technologies Elsewhere
Our foundation is in oil and gas, but our technology is adaptable. Here’s how you can transform our existing solutions for new environments:
Digital Testing Services
We’ve adapted our BOP testing software to create automated diagnostic platforms. These tools allow for safe, data-driven equipment testing with real-time test data logging and remote access capabilities.Real-Time Monitoring (RTM)
Our RTM drilling systems can be used as well for wind farms, solar plants, and high-risk mining zones. Whether it’s turbine blade rotation or ground vibration sensors, our real-time monitoring systems empower operators with instant insights.Data Analytics & Reporting
One of our strengths is BOP test data analysis and that same data science infrastructure can support industrial analytics like downtime tracking, environmental risk reporting, and predictive maintenance alerts.
We continue to offer the high standards expected from top BOP testing companies, but for a broader spectrum of clients.
3. Tailored Digital Solutions for Emerging Needs
Every industry faces its own version of high-stakes operations—and they need custom tools to navigate them. With Aquila Digital, we’re bringing:
Modular Software Architecture: Just like our digital BOP testing service, our new platforms can be customized to fit unique field conditions.
Remote Accessibility: Companies in remote regions and renewable facilities in offshore environments benefit from tools originally built for offshore rigs.
Compliance-Driven Reporting: We integrate automated reporting tools aligned with regulatory standards.
End-to-End Visibility: Just as we provide BOP tracking and lifecycle history, we can offer asset management systems for a variety of products.
By listening closely to new industries’ pain points, we’re building systems that combine ruggedness, agility, and traceable data.
Conclusion
At Aquila, innovation has always been our driving force. Aquila Digital it’s a commitment to bringing our proven digital expertise to sectors beyond oil and gas. With decades of excellence in BOP engineering, real-time monitoring, and data analytics, we’re excited to help industries like mining and renewables embrace a smarter, safer, and more connected future.
Whether you’re looking for remote digital pressure testing, real-time operational dashboards, or custom platforms inspired by our leading digital BOP testing software, Aquila Digital is ready to be your partner in transformation.
