API 53 says the pressure and function test reports stay at the rig site for a minimum of two years, with a copy held offsite. That is a lot of paper to keep dry, keep signed and keep findable on the morning somebody asks for the upper pipe ram from eighteen months ago. This keeps every test on your phone — aged, filterable, exportable and printable — with no signal needed.

API 53 puts the low-pressure test between 200 and 300 psi before the high-pressure test runs. Type a reading outside that band and it is flagged on the record, in the register and on the printed report — not discovered by somebody reading charts a year later.
Set your programme's minimum hold once. Anything held for less is flagged, and so is any test that reached less than the required pressure — with the shortfall in psi written out, so the remark on the record is a number rather than an opinion.
Log a Fail or Retest Required and it counts as an open item until a later passing test exists on that same well and that same component. Not until somebody remembers. The status screen leads with the count.
Each test carries its age and the days left in the retention window, and anything inside the warning period is called out so the CSV for the offsite copy goes out before the record ages past its two years.
Test date and time, rig, well name, API number and the BOP stack or serial the test was run against.
Low pressure, high pressure, function, actuation or crew drill — the five that have to appear in the driller's report.
Annular, blind shear, casing shear, upper and lower pipe rams, variable bore, choke and kill lines, HCR, choke manifold, kelly cock, IBOP, accumulator.
Required psi, actual psi, hold duration, and for a low-pressure test the initial pressure applied before any bleed to zero.
Tested by and witnessed by, both carried through to the printed report as signature blocks.
Chart or recorder reference, free-text remarks, and the record's own age against the retention window.
A pressure test will not save without its required pressure, actual pressure and hold duration. A blank is never treated as a good test — the record either has the numbers that make it judgeable, or it does not get filed.
Flags come from the numbers you typed, checked against the thresholds you set. Nothing is inferred and nothing is hidden.
Oil Rigs Now has served oilfield professionals since 2011. This is a recordkeeping tool, not a test authority — it does not test anything, does not certify a stack, and does not replace your well control programme, the OEM procedure, your test plan or the judgement of the person witnessing the test. It keeps the record complete, aged and exportable so the paperwork stops being the weak link at audit time.
Everything stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded, no account is created, and the app keeps working when the rig has no bars.
