Experts from the Institute of Geology and Development of Combustible Fossils (part of the Rosneft Research and Development Complex) have developed a methodology for automatic processing of data obtained during drilling. The new approach will help reduce labor costs for routine operations without degrading the quality of the result, the company’s press service reported.
The intelligent assistant system processes the data received by the drilling rig and then makes real-time recommendations to the engineer based on the processing results, allowing you to choose the most suitable drilling path.
The technique was tested at a number of Rosneft sites. According to the test results, the speed of decision-making increased significantly when drilling complex horizontal wells.
In 2023, the technology will be integrated into the enterprise real-time location routing software RN-Horizon+.
