The highest order of drilling automation technology, subsea production, and unmanned topside facilities are being tested internationally, but how are those experiments developing, and will they scale up to change the landscape of the sector?
Who Attends?
International operators, contractors and service providers gathered online to address challenges, deliver improved performance and highlight emerging technologies and practices in the sector.
Totally automated drilling today looks like a robot doing all the heavy lifting on a drilling floor. By 2025, there may no longer be anything surprising about it.
Well construction must always be executed safely at reduced operational costs, while ensuring appropriate wellbore quality and placement, per asset team requirements. Consequently, analysis of drilling efficiency, a critical performance indicator, has moved from maximizing rate of penetration to improving cycle time.
A supervised machine-learning algorithm is developed to classify drilling parameters that increase rate of penetration and bit endurance for use in unconventional fields in Australia.
The failure of the Raptor rig to drill its first-ever well offers a short history of the challenges that came with creating the first automated drilling rig.
