Drilling systems automation is t he real-time reliance on digital technology in creating a wellbore. It enc ompasses downhole tools and systems, surface drilling equipment, remote mo nitoring and the use of models and simulations while drilling. While its s cope is large, its potential benefits are impressive, among them: fewer wo rkers exposed to rig-floor hazards, the ability to realize repeatable perf ormance drilling, and lower drilling risk. While drilling systems automati on includes new drilling technology, it is most importantly a collaborativ e infrastructure for performance drilling.
In 2008, a small group o f engineers and scientists attending an SPE conference noted that automati on was becoming a key topic in drilling and they formed a technical sectio n to investigate it further. By 2015, the group reached a membership of si xteen hundred as the technology rapidly gaining acceptance. Why so much in terest? The benefits and promises of an automated approach to drilling add ress the safety and fundamental economics of drilling. What will it take? Among the answers are an open collaborative digital environment at the wel lsite, an openness of mind to digital technologies, and modified or new bu siness practices. What are the barriers? The primary barrier is a lack of understanding and a fear of automation. When will it happen? It is happeni ng now.
Digital technologies are transforming the infrastructure of the drilling industry. Drilling systems automation uses this infrastructu re to deliver safety and performance, and address cost. \; \;  \; \; \;
