20 million to drilling project

09.05.2016

The project "Demonstration of Automated Drilling Process Control" receives NOK 20 million through Demo2000. The project is related to drilling process optimisation, which is a key research area in DrillWell.

Programme 1 in DrillWell addresses technologies to avoid drilling related problems and to improve safety and drilling performance. The new project, where Ullrigg and IRIS are central partners, affirms the importance and relevance of this area.

-  DrillWell has developed into an important contributor to innovative drilling and well technology. It's great to see that other projects can build on knowledge and expertise develop at the centre, says Sigmund Stokka, Manager of DrillWell.

In addition to IRIS, Robotic Drilling Systems, Sekal, Odfjell Drilling and Statoil are currently partners in the project. Now, the effort to link more operators to supporting the project will begin.

The project has a budget of 80 million, with 25 % funding from The Research Council of Norway. The rest of the budget will be covered by industry partners and IRIS. In Demo2000, 17 projects were awarded a total of NOK 128 million.
