With operators under pressure to deliver more energy with fewer resources, predictable drilling performance is more important than ever. Discover how a unified digital workflow can turn drilling data into better decisions and consistent execution—providing the foundation for autonomous drilling and more predictable, profitable, and productive wells at scale.
By acquiring 100% of Ventura’s outstanding shares, SED Energy Holdings would scale its business into a combined $1 billion company backed by a $1.3 billion contract backlog focused on deepwater drilling, shallow-water tender rigs, and seismic acquisition.
The US Department of Energy has awarded more than $99 million to 21 projects that will advance geothermal development through field-scale testing of next-generation technologies and exploration drilling programs across the US.

The authors of this paper present the results of implementing a rig-automation solution applied to 20 wells in Ecuador in 2022. -
In recent years, operators and service companies have optimized drilling activities and reduced operational costs by accelerating the deployment of digital solutions. Among other applications, predictive data analytics are commonly used to estimate rock properties, reduce operational uncertainty, improve equipment maintenance processes, and optimize scarce human resou…
