H&P recommended an integrated autonomous solution that would help make economic-driven decisions to reduce drilling time, reduce slide percentage, and deliver a smoother more accurate wellbore.
With H&P’s Bit Guidance System, the operator would be able to employ advanced computer algorithms to make steering decisions automatically, with more consistency, speed, and reliability than human directional drillers alone. This technology helps to remove variability around the directional driller’s decision making, reducing the chance for significant variations in performance. The intelligence from the Bit Guidance System is then automatically executed by AutoSlide® technology, an automated digital control module designed to continuously compensate for formation variability and for the effects of reactive torque.
Our proven technology and trusted expertise drive precision
Our Bit Guidance System makes intelligent decisions based on economics, helping lower drilling costs while increasing production. The AutoSlide® automated drilling platform responds by autonomously executing slides that minimize tortuosity and sliding footage with increased precision. This combination simultaneously delivers better ROP and wellbore quality with continuous economic impact.
AutoSlide® Technology
› Analyzes a host of parameters including well economics, toolface data, drillstring dynamics and much more to optimize sliding and reduce your time to target
› Provides monitoring both onsite as well as from remote operating centers
› Controls drawworks, top drive and mud pump parameters while sliding
