Beyond Automation in Well Construction
March 24, 2021
Schlumberger
Learn how we are taking well construction beyond automation and into autonomy. The great strides that have been made in well construction automation are delivering good results, but the complex and dynamic environment of well construction requires more than automation to deliver consistent performance improvements. Our expert presenters will explain how we are achieving this by maximizing the capability with Autonomous systems, both in rig operations and downhole drilling.
