Description

The uses of automation in the drilling process are expanding and are typically resulting in improved drilling performance. However, many of these projects struggle in the initial stages, often trying to overcome a common set of hurdles.

This presentation covers the basics of drilling automation and describes the problems and solutions that have been found to improve the startup success for drilling automation.
