Focus on Data for Drilling Automation
25.05.2016
IRIS arranged a morning seminar May 24th entitled «Data for Drilling Automation». The seminar was very well attended with more than 50 participants from oil companies, service industry, technology companies, authorities and academia.
The seminar was opened by Erlend H. Vefring, IRIS who gave an introduction to the seminar and informed about Drilling Automation activities at IRIS.
Shared ownership of data
John Macpherson, from Baker Hughes, gave a presentation entitled “Data Ownership for Drilling Automation” where he emphasized the need for an inter-company shared data pool at the wellsite. He also argued that data producers and consumers (drilling contractors, service companies and equipment providers) should share ownership of data. He mentioned NorTex Data Science Cluster as one initiative for collaborating and realization of data quality.
Technical requirements for data transfer
“Requirements for Data Transfer in a Multivendor Environment to Support Drilling Automation” was the title of the presentation given by Eric Cayeux, IRIS. The technical challenges associated with data collection (refresh rate, latency, consistency, precision, redundancy etc) was presented and illustrated by different cases from drilling operations. Requirements for external access to machine controllers was addressed. Eric concluded that the instrumentation at the rig site and downhole has to be updated to support further automation of the drilling process.
After the seminar mingling and additional discussions took place.
