Paper Number: SPE-1221-0025-JPT
Published: 01 December 2021
...Stephen Rassenfoss Predictions about how technology will evolve a decade from now are likely to be wrong. In 2012, a group of 120 drilling and automation experts at an SPE workshop in Vail, Colorado, wrote a statement predicting what automated drilling would look like in 2025. After working through...

Paper presented at the ADIPEC, November 4–7, 2024
Paper Number: SPE-222748-MS
... The general principles of automated directional drilling (ADD) for rotary steerable systems (RSS) are described in detail in Hansen et al., 2020 . Among others, the system continuously monitors while-drilling inclination and azimuth data to derive build- and turn rates and to accurately estimate...

Paper presented at the SPE/IADC International Drilling Conference and Exhibition, March 7–9, 2023
Paper Number: SPE-212536-MS
... Abstract Analysis of low frequency axial drilling dynamics from block velocity input to surface weight on bit (SWOB) or differential pressure outputs, shows significant regional variation. This range in dynamics poses a robustness challenge for automated drilling control systems. Many factors...

Paper presented at the SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, October 3–5, 2022
Paper Number: SPE-210263-MS
... Abstract Drilling technology has been rapidly evolving over the past few decades, and currently, the main focus has been on enabling drilling automation. Multiple components on a drilling rig have been automated to make drilling operations safer, more efficient, and less costly. The invention...

Paper presented at the IADC/SPE Asia Pacific Drilling Technology Conference and Exhibition, August 9–10, 2022
Paper Number: SPE-209887-MS
... Abstract In the field of drilling automation, most attention is usually focussed on the automating the mechanical side of the business and yet vast amounts of time and energy are spent by well engineers on designing and executing wells that may involve redesigns during the execution of the well...

Paper presented at the SPE Middle East Oil & Gas Show and Conference, November 28–December 1, 2021
Paper Number: SPE-204723-MS
.... These systems can either paint an incomplete picture of prevailing drilling conditions or fail to ensure system messages result in parameter changes at rigsite. This often results in a hit or miss approach in identification and mitigation of drilling problems. The automated software system architecture...

Paper presented at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference, November 15–18, 2021
Paper Number: SPE-207429-MS
... Abstract A pilot program for automated directional drilling was implemented as a part of the roll out plan in Norway to drill three dimensional wells in an automated mode, where steering commands were carried out automatically by the automation platform. The rollout plan also targeted the use...
