DrillOps™ advisory and DrillOps automation are rig-based drilling operations software solutions. They enable optimum and consistent execution of drilling activities. ​
 
Harness the power of automation, either as full closed loop control with DrillOps automation, or in open loop advisory mode with DrillOps advisory.
 
At its core, the AI planner-enabled workflows in DrillOps intelligent well delivery and insights solutions dynamically react to real-time drilling conditions, optimizing processes based on the actual context observed downhole at the bit. This AI-driven approach enables the system to make intelligent, real-time decisions and adjustments for automated or assisted execution, all within the context of the digital drilling program, procedures, and checklists, while adhering to the operating envelope.​
 
Our DrillOps solutions aim to radically improve execution through AI-driven workflows, that continuously learn and strive to achieve full autonomy, delivering consistently improving levels of performance.

DrillOps advisory

Data-driven recommendations and insights for manual execution
 
DrillOps advisory is available for both drilling contractors and operators and can be used on any rig, anywhere, today. It elevates the driller’s competency throughout the drilling and tripping process. ​

Deployment is quick and easy with the only hardware being the human machine interface (HMI) screen and edge server. So, you can rapidly benefit from out intelligent, adaptive solutions.
 
DrillOps advisory is available for both drilling and tripping workflows. Our embedded domain-knowledge-driven models deliver real-time recommendations to the driller as smart AI. They combine decades of domain experience, with operational context, and high-quality user experience visualization, for optimized execution of drilling activities.​
 
DrillOps advisory delivers drilling optimization by way of ROP optimization and drilling dysfunction mitigation. When tripping operations are underway, DrillOps advisory provides smart recommendations from various envelope protection engines—including stuck pipe management, torque and drag (T&D), hydraulics, etc. delivering insights, on-time risk alerts and recommendations to the driller. All whilst adhering to procedures that enable drillers to effectively manage risk envelopes and deliver top tier performance.​

DrillOps automation

AI-driven workflows executing autonomous operations
 
DrillOps automation is a rig-based application that takes control of rig equipment and enables intelligent execution of drilling workflows through AI. This helps ensure procedural implementation and deliver consistent, optimized performance. ​
 
It is an adaptive drilling automation solution, whereby a drilling workflow goal is set, and the system adapts, within pre-defined limits, to deliver the goal in a consistent manner. The ability of DrillOps solutions to adapt to constantly changing drilling conditions is what sets it apart in the industry.​
 
When DrillOps solutions are combined with intelligent planning, in DrillPlan™ coherent well planning and engineering solutions, and downhole automation, through Neuro™ autonomous solutions, the integration of multiple workflows enables you to reach the highest levels of autonomy.

DrillOps automation

DrillOps automation can execute AI-driven workflows for autonomous operations both onshore and offshore, on any AC VFD rig.​
 
Consistency and precision​
Help ensure consistent and precise execution of drilling operations, providing better wellbore quality and improved drilling performance.
 
Operational efficiency​
Boost overall operational efficiency, leading to cost savings and reduced non-productive time (NPT).​
 
Safety improvements​
Reduce hazardous situations, that could impact rig crew safety, through smarter decisions.

DrillOps advisory

Available for any rig. Drillers are empowered to perform at their peak with AI-driven parameters, for drilling and tripping workflows, that adapt to the operational environment in real-time.
 
Drillers receive clear recommendations of WOB and ROP. This helps ensure adherence to drilling parameters, detection and mitigation of drilling dysfunctions and hard stringers, while achieving increased consistency.

Performance enhancements

The system dynamically reacts to real-time drilling conditions, optimizing processes based on actual context rather than pre-coded steps, delivering smart data-driven recommendations. This allows for intelligent decision-making and adjustments, that lead to sustained performance gains over time.​​
 
In DrillOps automation it is also possible to control various rig components and automate sequences that cover approximately 98% of drilling time or activities. ​​
 
Risk mitigation​
The system balances performance enhancement with risk mitigation, ensuring that performance gains are not achieved at the cost of increased risk. The domain engines provide envelope protection, continuously monitoring different aspects of the drilling process. Automation enables more efficient and precise risk management using data, for safer operations. Making smarter decisions reduces the risk of hazardous situations and improving rig crew safety.​​
 
Holistic well delivery​
The focus is on holistic well delivery, optimizing the entire drilling process to ensure that the well is delivered as planned, efficiently, and safely. The system integrates seamlessly with other SLB products, such as Neuro autonomous solutions, providing a comprehensive solution for the entire well construction lifecycle.​​
