How it Works
- Commands are sent from third-party directional drilling providers directly to H&P rigs via a secure API.
- 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.
- Automation reduces driller workload and distractions while improving wellbore quality.
- 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.
