There are a lot of factors that come into play when creating a wellbore. The drilling process is one of many but can include variables that can affect the overall supply chain, and potentially cause serious delays – and serious cost.
Drilling environments are seeing a growing need to shift to automated environments for better predictability surrounding these variables. Some drilling contracts see increased requirements for automation to be included to help manage the time and cost associated with unknown events.
In order to achieve the transition to a self-sustaining operation, there are skills and knowledge to acquire. Automation within drilling processes is here and is proven – learn how to implement the necessary tools to create a healthier overall lifecycle in your supply chain. Understand how better feedback and more reliable data can help increase predictability and decrease the potential for these serious events.
Gain key learnings around the growing need for automation in our industry, the benefits of fully adopting it into you drilling operations, and how we can help you begin, or continue, on your automation journey.
