Digitalization & Automation

DIGITALIZATION & AUTOMATION

We automate drilling process control, enabling drillers to optimize and enhance the safety of their drilling operations. Integrated with the rig’s drilling control system (DCS) machine controls for drawworks, top drive, and mud pumps, the automation algorithm applies the same advanced modeling capabilities as our well engineering to maintain wellbore stability and consequently reduce non-productive time. 

Drilling Automation: We automate drilling slip-to-slip to ensures rigs operate at peak performance while implementing the digital drilling plan and builds new levels of instrumentation, automation, and cognition directly into existing drilling operations. Operators accomplish consistency through autonomous drilling while securing progress toward their own business goals for drilling efficiency and more productive wells.

Operation Reporting and Knowledge Management: Our reporting software manages and tracks drilling and completion activities across your entire organization. It simplifies data collection and streamlines reporting and analysis. This speeds up reporting and analysis and ensures the consistent and detailed information is captured and used throughout the organization.

Combining advanced modeling and control of key machinery, our rig automation can help drillers avoid critical situations that might lead to significant economic losses. Our automation algorithm can determine all possible combinations of a driller’s actions (string accelerations, velocities, rotation, pump start-ups and flow rates) that could cause the dynamic downhole pressure to reach or exceed wellbore stability and geopressure limits. Once this safe operating envelope has been established, the automation process can ensure that all drilling operations are conducted within the limits.

Apart from that, our expertise includes advanced Operation Reporting including; Daily Reports, Company Mans Report, Run Sheets, Tool Inventories, BHA Reports, End of Well Reports.
