Drilling Control
Drilling a well is complex and involves executing a well plan through activities customized to ensure wellbore quality and safety while maximizing efficiency and minimizing environmental impact. Drillers perform the well plan activities by following operational procedures, controlling heavy machinery through multiple screens and control devices. Drillers must also control the drilling equipment to generate data that represent the well condition (e.g., friction tests and surveys) and perform actions to maintain well quality and efficiency (e.g., reaming cycles and speed adjustments). The execution of these tasks in a safe, efficient, and repetitive manner is paramount to achieving a high-quality wellbore within budget.
Our Drilling Automation platform automatically executes all relevant drilling activities to improve safety, efficiency, and repeatability. The platform follows an integrated well program to ensure machine actions are executed safely and within the well’s design boundaries. Our Automation platform also integrates third-party apps for pressure management, drilling optimization, directional drilling, and dysfunction mitigation.

Drilling Fluids
Drilling fluids serve as the first line of defense in maintaining a safe and controlled drilling environment. By exerting hydraulic pressure, drilling fluids help to contain formation pressures, preventing blowouts and the uncontrolled release of hydrocarbons. They also aid in wellbore stability, preventing collapses and safeguarding the integrity of the well. Effective management and monitoring of drilling fluid properties enhances safety, minimizes risks, and improves drilling performance.
Our automated drilling fluid system features real-time monitoring and response capabilities to enable prompt action to deviations or issues. Remote operation and control enable centralized management while ensuring accurate and consistent drilling fluid properties. The automated routing system also optimizes drilling fluid utilization, reducing costs, maximizing uptime, and minimizing environmental impact. Additionally, data collection and analysis capabilities deliver insights for process optimization and informed decision-making.
