How it Works

  1. Commands are sent from third-party directional drilling providers directly to H&P rigs via a secure API. 
  2. Downlink commands are accepted at the rig control system through 1-touch validation by the driller, eliminating the need for manual manipulation of rotary or mud pumps.
  3. Automation reduces driller workload and distractions while improving wellbore quality.
  4. Supports broader automation initiatives by minimizing failed downlinks. 

Additional Benefits

  • Safety & Risk Reduction: Fewer people required onsite, reducing driller distraction allowing more focus on rig activities and personnel safety. 
  • Performance & Efficiency: Precise downlinking minimizes failures, reduces retries, and helps maintain formation alignment and well plan adherence. 
  • Future-ready technology: Designed for scalability with evolving drilling strategies.
