Formation-related drilling troubles, such as well control, stuck pipe, wellbore instability, loss of circulation, uncertainties in picking formation tops, and pore pressure estimation, have been a limiting factor of hydrocarbon production in development fields resulting in 100s of rig days lost time. In this session, we will discuss how drilling automation is key to unlock the hydrocarbon potential. Case studies will demonstrate how the establishment of autonomous and intelligent advisory and control environment for continuous monitoring, analysing and predicting such drilling troubles will maximise value resulting in enhanced safety and production reliability. In addition, we will cover how real-time subsurface data can improve drilling efficiency and help optimise drilling performance. We will also discuss real-time engineering solutions which are based on the digital twin concept, these solutions perform drilling engineering calculations in real-time to predict potential drilling hazards.

Modern rigs are equipped with tens of sensing devices, these sensors are measuring primary physical states and transmit their readings to a data acquisition system, which then supplies these data to consuming applications. With recent advancements in data analytics solutions, the raw data collected from these sensors can be easily transformed into informative knowledge that can explain operations with great insights. Platforms to analyse such big data can provide endless values, including operation efficiency assessment, invisible lost time quantification, operational troubles prediction and avoidance and many others. Performance improvement in this context means reducing well costs by enhancing on bottom and flat time performance while keeping HSE as a priority. In this session, we will focus on real-time applications of data analytics to obtain novel knowledge which results in a significant operational improvement. Various success stories of applying data analytics to optimise drilling operations will be shared.

Supply chain automation is utilising the advancement of digital technology in order to improve efficiencies, connect applications together and restructure processes

The value of measuring automation through supply chain management is very important and the drilling industry will directly benefit from having an automated supply chain.  This will significantly minimise manual tasks, optimise cost efficiency, transparency and visibility of operations. Organisations are already implementing invoicing and payments through an automated system, which results in time saving, ability to access, track the documents easily, and reduce the steps of manual repeated tasks.

In this session we will discuss various aspects of automated supply chain management utilised by the drilling industry which includes asset tracking using RFID and computer vision, invoicing and payment automation, role of block chain supporting supply chain, cost optimisation and rig move process.

At any given time, several service providers collaborate on the rig site to deliver well safely and on budget. Efficiency and quality of tasks performed on the rig site are inter-connected. Thus, it is important and common interest to have all collaborators do the best job they can. With the increase of drilling data acquisition, i.e. big data, and advanced data analytics, the utilisation of diverse data sources can help in obtaining new knowledge and find ways to improve operations. Throughout previous years, integrated data between independent organisations is limited and mostly non-digital. In this session industry experts will discuss digital collaboration enablers like cloud computing, automated design and reporting, data governance and security, and interoperability. Most importantly, we will discuss the challenges which limit such digital collaboration.
