The world of Digital Drilling from Planning to Operations
Automation
Our cutting-edge digital drilling solutions harness the power of automation to revolutionize efficiency, precision, and safety in drilling operations. By integrating AI, machine learning, and real-time data analytics, we optimize the entire process from well planning to execution. Automated systems enable us to control drilling parameters, reduce non-productive time, and minimize human error. Meaning your engineers have more time to be engineers, focusing on design improvements rather than repetitive, manual tasks.
DrillOps™ automation is an adaptive drilling automation solution enabling intelligent execution of drilling workflows through AI to deliver consistent, optimized performance. To ensure compliance with your company standards and expedite planning, DrillPlan™ coherent well planning and engineering solutions perform over 100 automated validations on well designs and automates trajectory design.
DrillOps™ reporting delivers digital reporting and data exchange solutions via the cloud and at the edge, automating data capture and providing a single source of truth.
Through integration with the digital drilling plan from DrillPlan solutions, the Wellbarrier™ well integrity lifecycle solution automates the creation of well barrier schematics, boosting efficiency and regulatory compliance.
Well Control on Delfi™ harnesses automation by using event-based controllers to manage simulation stages, running multiple simulations in parallel, and automating result handling and post-processing to significantly improving efficiency and accuracy while reducing the need for manual analysis.
Our advanced automation in digital drilling solutions enhances operational efficiency, accuracy, and safety, leading to more sustainable and cost-effective energy extraction. So your teams can focus on engineering innovation and driving progress.

Integration
Utilize the robust integration capabilities of our digital drilling solutions to help you significantly enhance operational efficiency and data quality.
DrillPlan™ coherent well planning and engineering solutions enable seamless connectivity across domains, from subsurface to operations. By integrating with applications, such as Petrel™ subsurface software, Techlog™ wellbore software and the Wellbarrier™ well integrity lifecycle solution, DrillPlan solutions streamline workflows, synchronize systems, and enhance collaboration. Additionally, DrillOps™ predictive analytics integrates with subsurface and planning domains to maintain operational consistency and accuracy. By combining real-time data from rig systems with our planning and geomechanics software, DrillOps predictive analytics helps ensure that operations stay within planned windows. This integration enables the adjustment of drilling parameters based on real-time geomechanics feedback and subsurface models.
As a core component of DrillOps automation and DrillOps advisory, the AI planner integrates insights from all domain engines and dynamically reacts to real-time drilling conditions, optimizing processes based on the actual context observed at the rig to ensure contextualized, harmonized, and comprehensive decision-making. This is executed autonomously through DrillOps automation or as recommendations to the driller through DrillOps advisory. .
DrillOps data aggregation and delivery seamlessly integrates with rig systems to centralize all operational data into a single stream, facilitating access and exchange for other applications, interpretation, and analysis. It supports multiple protocols, offers high buffering capabilities, and provides advanced visualizations and data quality monitoring. This enhances overall drilling operations efficiency and provides all stakeholders with a common view.
DrillOps predictive analytics delivers real-time decision support for customers through automated smart alarms and intelligent workflows. Data is received and aggregated from both third-party and other DrillOps solutions, thereby triggering alerts to drilling teams of potential issues, and offering real-time decision support through integration with town solutions, such as DrillOps performance insights.
DrillOps performance insights deliver integration of high and low frequency data for comprehensive analysis, ensuring operational context in relation to micro-performance indicators. Its APIs enable external applications to leverage processed data, supporting advanced analytics and decision-making.
Overall, the integration within our digital drilling solutions creates an efficient, unified ecosystem that optimizes drilling operations and ensures well integrity, offering significant benefits throughout the well lifecycle.
