...). There are currently 9 producing wells generating approximately 18.4 million cubic meters. The wells T.D. between 4,000 and 6,000 meters in Bolivia's southern Tarija department. From inception, and based on asset expectations, the field plan included field automation installations, market-standard modeling tools...

... was recently tested and validated during multiple field trials in various drilling basins on two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) well plans for both rotary steerable systems (RSS) and mud motors. Multiple curve sections were drilled successfully with automated steering decisions, generating smooth wellbores...

... Abstract An operator and rig contractor have been implementing drilling operations automation (DOA) pursuing well design and drilling operational execution improvements in terms of safety, quality, delivery, and cost (SQDC). Today, drilling automation enables tighter process control...

... accurate well placement with increased percentage of the wellbore in the target zone. The very high rates of penetration being achieved today in build and hold sections require the processing and action speed of automation to supplement the directional driller’s ability to achieve these goals. In addition...

The goal of chemical automation implementations in the oilfield industry is to improve productivity while monitoring usage and inventory. While intelligent well and smart field technologies have made great...

...Buildup Curve Vertical Drilling Use of an automated vertical drilling algorithm with an RSS is well known in the industry. Field studies of RSS in vertical drilling have been extensively documented ( Akinniranye et al. 2007 ; Chamat and Israel 2012 ). Typically, the target gravity tool...

... Abstract Drilling automation is the control of the drilling process by automatic means, ultimately reducing human intervention to a minimum. The concept of automating the drilling process has generated considerable interest, yet there is a lack of agreement on exactly what it is, what...

.... By using downhole data in real time, this risk can be reduced and drilling performance can be significantly improved. This paper discusses the results of the latest field test program of an automated drilling system where direct closed loop control of machines performs drilling optimization tasks using...

..., automation and metallurgy have reduced lifting costs through system components that resist hostile environments, optimize power usage, and improve reliability allowing profitable production from previously uneconomic fields or wells.
