automation

This paper describes an emergency-response system deployed on artificial islands that manages complex challenges, enhances safety protocols, and improves operational efficiency in high-risk offshore environments.

As managed pressure drilling gains traction, its principles are influencing a wider range of well-construction activities.

Current classifications often do not capture the complexity of autonomy in drilling systems. By integrating concepts from aerospace, control theory, and other high-risk industries, this study presents a quantitative framework for systematically assessing and comparing levels of drilling autonomy.

The company said that its AD-300, a 50-m-high automated island drilling rig that walks between wells, was delivered 3 months ahead of schedule.

Schneider Electric says the deal advances its vision of creating intelligent industrial ecosystems that connect physical assets with digital insights across the asset life cycle.

Chevron and Halliburton describe how they built and deployed the fully autonomous closed-loop fracturing system that enables subsurface-driven optimization.

The paper presents the design and successful field deployment of the first closed-loop hydraulic fracturing program.

The company says the service is designed to advance geosteering capabilities in complex drilling environments.

This paper presents the first global application of autonomous drilling in deepwater and the journey to reach optimal drilling parameters, integrating proprietary tools from the project’s business partners.

The authors describe a study on key technologies for intelligent risk monitoring of workover operations.
