Integrated control system for a well drilling platform

An integrated control system (ICS) for a well drilling platform, the well drilling platform having a plurality of control systems and a diverter manifold, the diverter manifold including a first portion connected to a first control system of the plurality of control systems, a second portion connected to a second control system of the plurality of control systems and a plurality of automated valves, the ICS comprising:

• a master control having an input device and a display;
• an ICS controller in communication with the master control, the ICS controller having at least one processor that executes instructions, and a memory device that is coupled to the at least one processor and that stores the instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the ICS controller to perform at least the following:
• communicate with each of the control systems to determine a status of each of the control systems;
• cause the master control display to selectively display status information for at least one of the control systems;
• in response to an operator input to the master control input device to perform a well drilling platform function, said function requiring a coordinated state between the first control system and the second control system, configure the first control system and the second control system into the coordinated state;
• wherein configuring into the coordinated state includes:
• selectively configuring, by the ICS controller, the automated valves of the diverter manifold into a selected one of a first configuration and a second configuration, the selected one configuration being associated with the well drilling platform function;
• wherein, in the first configuration, a fluid flow is routed through the diverter manifold to the first control system and away from the second control system;
• and
• wherein, in the second configuration, the fluid flow is routed through the diverter manifold to the second control system and away from the first control system;
• and
• display updated status information for at least one of the control systems on the master control display;
• wherein the well drilling platform further comprises a pressure relief valve system including a first pressure relief valve having a first setpoint and operatively connected along the routing through the diverter manifold to the first control system for releasing fluid therefrom when the first setpoint is exceeded and a second pressure relief valve having a second setpoint and operatively connected along the routing through the diverter manifold to the second control system for releasing fluid therefrom when the second setpoint is exceeded, and:
• wherein the ICS controller is in communication with the pressure relief valve system to cause the respective setpoint of each respective pressure relief valve to be remotely configurable;
• and
• wherein configuring into the coordinated state further includes:
• remotely configuring, using the ICS controller, the respective setpoint of the respective pressure relieve valve associated with the selected one configuration with a setpoint value associated with the well drilling platform function.
