The land drilling market worldwide is structured primarily as a rental market, not a sales market, where land drilling companies lease their rigs to E&P companies for an agreed period of time – weeks, months, or years – at a day-rate. The rigs are then used to drill wells and execute the E&P’s drilling programs.

Drilling opportunities are analysed and explored in order, leaving a series of dry holes, until a discovery is made. It is rare for an E&P company to actually own the rigs which they operate, but there are some exceptions such as Chesapeake, who will purchase their own fleet of rigs.

Investors require a minimum level of return for their investment dollars in drilling operations, and typically equate cost with risk. These turnkey drilling contracts may limit risk by guaranteeing a minimum number of wells that can be drilled with the rig. The contract will also outline how the rig can be used – including the pieces of equipment, when to change pieces, temperature and pressure tolerances and the weight of mud.

The International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC) lists 547 members in the category of Land Drilling Contractors. According to Statista, the key US land drilling contractors are: Nabors Industries Ltd, Helmerich & Payne Inc, Patterson-UTI Energy Inc, Precision Drilling Corporation and Pioneer Energy Services Corp.

Nabors operates the world’s largest land drilling rig fleet, with around 500 rigs operating in over 25 countries – in almost every significant O&G basin on the planet. It also has the largest number of high-specification rigs (including new AC rigs and refurbished SCR rigs) and custom rigs, built to withstand challenging conditions such as extreme cold, desert and many complex shale plays.

Headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, H&P is a global business with land operations across the US, as well as offshore operations in the Gulf of Mexico. It is engaged primarily in the drilling of O&G wells for E&P companies, and recognised for its innovative FlexRig technology.

Patterson-UTI operates land based drilling rigs, primarily in O&G producing regions of the continental US, and western Canada. The company also provides pressure pumping services to US E&P companies and specialist technology, notably pipe handling components, to drilling contractors globally.

Precision is an oilfield services company and Canada’s largest drilling rig contractor, with over 240 rigs in operation worldwide. The Company has two segments. The Contract Drilling Services segment operates its rigs in Canada, the United States and internationally. The Completion and Production Services segment provides completion and workover services and ancillary services to O&G E&P companies in Canada and the US.

Pioneer operates a modern fleet of more than 24 top performing drilling rigs throughout onshore O&G producing regions of the US and Colombia. The company also offers production services include well servicing, wireline, and coiled tubing services – supported by 100 well-servicing rigs, and more than 100 cased-hole, open-hole and offshore wireline units.

Together these five companies dominate the US rental market. Other smaller but prominent contractors include: Parker Drilling, Unit Corp, Independence Contract Drilling, Seventy Seven Energy, Schramm and Ensign Drilling. Beyond these players, the market is highly fractured, with many “mom & pop” style drillers.

In Texas, generally considered to be the centre of US land drilling, RigData reports that there are currently 678 active rigs – split between Helmerich & Payne (160), Patterson-UTI (85), Nabors (64), Precision Drilling (39) and 77 other drillers (330).

Most new onshore rigs, both drilling and work over rigs, are built by OEMs in China. In the US, the larger vertically integrated land drillers have in-house manufacturing operations, so they will outsource some equipment construction, but assemble the new rigs at their own facilities. The leading provider of US newbuild rigs is National Oilwell Varco.

Bashneft-Drilling: Our rig fleet is currently located in three oil producing provinces of Russia – the Urals-Volga region, the Khanty-Mansiisk Autonomous Okrug (KhMAO), and the Nenetsk Autonomous Okrug (NAO). Our rig fleet capabilities include:

Urals-Volga region Drilling rigs with a capacity ranging from 140 tons to 200 tons, and mobile rigs from 60 – 100 tons, with  an annual drilling rate of 200,000 m, and a sidetracking rate of 20-25 wells.

200 tons capacity BU-3000UK echelon type rigs and MBU-125 mobile rigs with a total annual drilling rate of 300,000m, and a sidetracking rate of 50 wells.

Drilling rigs to drill 1,400-1,600m deep injection wells for reservoir pressure maintenance. BU-4000 E Rigs for drilling exploration wells with a depth of up to 4,500m.

EDC: EDC owns and operates a fleet of 255 land drilling & sidetrack rigs, plus 427 land workover & well service rigs. This is the largest fleet in the Eastern Hemisphere. Our drilling rigs have lifting capabilities between 80 and 450 tonnes. 25% of our fleet is heavy at over 320 Tonnes. We own 3 jackups which operate in the Russian, Kazakh & Turkmen waters of the Caspian Sea. We have a fourth up jackup under construction in Astrakhan. Our jackups can operate in water depths from 5m to 107m.

IDS: Our drilling rigs fleet includes 125 ton and 140 ton capacity drilling units manufactured by Kungur Heavy Machine Building Plant and the Bezhetsk Pilot Research Development and Fabrication Plant. Our rigs have the following drilling capabilities:

Nabors: All of our drilling units feature the most advanced drilling equipment and technologies. Each rig is fitted with a Top Drive System (TDS), a “Pragma” pipe handler, ST-80 and TM-120 power tongs, an “Epoch” drilling monitoring system, as well as many other of the industry’s latest innovations. All these modern technologies allow drilling operations to be performed faster, reduce downtime, and make it possible to use the latest technologies and technically innovative solutions from other service companies that offer well drilling support. Most importantly, they enable safer drilling operations.

Weatherford: Weatherford’s rig fleet is diverse and capable of performing many tasks for our customers. Weatherford drilling capabilities in Russia are represented by three companies: Nizhnevartovskburneft (NvBN), NPRS-1 and Orenburgburneft (OBN). I would like to mention that Weatherford was recognized as the best sidetracking contractor by representatives of major oil and gas companies at Neftegazservice 2013 Conference.

All in all, we have 61 rigs operating in Russia with the load capacity ranging from 125 to 400 tons. These rigs are designed for deep well drilling and sidetracking. Almost 60% of all the rigs are of Russian origin. Our rig fleet comprises 23 pad drilling rigs, 22 mobile rigs and 16 conventional drilling rigs. All rigs feature four- stage mud cleaning systems of international brand, and many of them are equipped with triplex pumps and top drives.

Bashneft-Drilling: Old rigs that reached the end of their service life will be completely removed from operation during the course of 2013 and 2014. The average age of the remaining rig fleet (38 units) will then be 12 years, taking into account the upgrading of BU-3000 EUK rig. With new rigs to be procured in 2014 and 2015, the average rig age will be reduced to under 10 years.

The ongoing modernization of our existing rigs, and the procurement of new rigs include the modernization of BU-3000 EUK rig (replacing the derrick headboard) in KhMAO, procurement of 320 ton echelon type rig for drilling at TiT field in NAO, the procurement of 160 ton rig for drilling in Bashkiria, as well as the purchasing of modern design pumps and solids control equipment for our existing drilling units in Bashkiria.

ERIELL Group: The average age of ERIELL’s rig fleet is under 5 years. Regular fleet renewal allows us not only to keep such a low average age level, but even to put it down and ensure that ERIELL has the youngest fleet in the industry. The use of modern equipment not only enables us to reach targets that have been previously beyond our technical capabilities, but also improve a number of drilling parameters in more mature fields, including well construction speed and quality. We achieve this by reducing non-productive time and using more advanced equipment.

Nabors: All rigs used by Nabors for our operations in Russia are either new, or have been fully refurbished and modernized prior to being brought into the country. So we currently do not have that issue.

Weatherford: Indeed, the average age of rigs operated by Weatherford, Russia is 13 years. At the same time, 30% of our rigs are over 20 years old. Their technical condition varies from rig to rig but generally these rigs have been recently overhauled and equipped with advanced foreign-made mud cleaning systems. In 2013, several rigs underwent major upgrades and started a new life. In addition to that, we have recently purchased three brand new ZJ-30 rigs. In 2014, we’ll focus on feasibility studies and developing a relevant strategy.

Bashneft-Drilling: After the drilling equipment modernization program in Bashneft-Bureniye is completed, company’s rig fleet will increase to 50 rig units, with 28 rigs to be in operation in Urals-Volga region.

EDC: After we complete our drilling equipment modernization program, we will have increased our rig fleet to 50 units, with 28 rigs in operation in Urals-Volga region.

Nabors: Yes, we do have such plans. Worldwide, several drilling rigs are currently being manufactured for our company. As for Russia specifically – procurement, manufacturing and importation of drilling rigs will be guided by the specific demands of our customers. Our company is fully committed satisfying our customers’ requirements!

4.    Market experts are concerned with the shortage of drilling capacity we may face in the future mainly due to the old rig decommissioning rate being higher than the replacement rate. This may have a negative impact on future growth and capacity. Do you share this concern? And if so, how do we avoid this scenario?

Bashneft-Drilling: We are implementing the necessary measures to not only maintain, but rather expand our presence in drilling services market. Furthermore, our company meets up to 90% of demand from OAO ANK Bashneft, who are our main customer in drilling services. However, I personally share the above concern with regard to the overall drilling services market. This issue can be mitigated by securing long term contracts with customers (operators and oil companies), in which the contract price takes into account the investment required for rig fleet modernization and upgrade.

IDS: These concerns may only come true if the trend continues with customers (operators and oil and gas producers) drawing down the cost of drilling and related services, as drilling contractors need to make sufficient profit to be able to invest in the renewal and modernization of their drilling capacities.

Nabors: Yes, generally there is a worldwide shortage of rigs. In Russia specifically this problem is related to the quickly ageing rig fleet, whereas elsewhere in the world it is due to the rapidly increasing drilling activity in the Middle East. We offer our customers the best solution for this – signing long term contracts well in advance to allow us, as a drilling company, to ensure timely fabrication of a custom-tailored drilling rig to fit the requirements of a specific contract and all the drilling specifications.

Weatherford: I fully agree with the experts; we are already facing a shortage of drilling capacity. Drilling contractors are not able to meet all the demands of their customers, especially those for advanced equipment which require massive investment.

One of the solutions may be mandatory inclusion of an investment component in well construction contracts. This initiative could be beneficial for both parties as a customer gets state-of-the-art equipment meeting the highest standards, while a drilling contractor, never making large profits, is provided with both operational and investment opportunities.

The second option is granting low-rate loans for purchase of equipment coupled with investment support from the state. If this option were to be applied to Russian-made equipment only, it would be beneficial both for the drilling contractor and the manufacturer.

The third option is long-term partner agreements between operators and drilling contractors on joint development of strategic and promising fields with new drilling rigs and investments made on equal terms.

5.    Russian rig manufacturers have to compete with European, North American and Asian manufacturers. How do you select new equipment to fully meet your current and future drilling demands?

Bashneft-Drilling: Besides the purchasing price, one of the important factors is rig maintenance cost during both warranty and post-warranty periods. We are talking here about equipment reliability and the availability of spare parts and components.

ERIELL Group: Recently Russian oilfield equipment manufacturers could hardly compete with those from Europe, North America and China. However, over the last few years key investments have been made in Russian oilfield equipment manufacturing, resulting in a significant improvement in the quality and range of manufactured products. When making decisions about placing orders for drilling rigs, the quality of the equipment and the implementation of advanced technologies are among our key criteria. This is why the most recent rigs in our fleet have been manufactured by Uralmash.

Nabors: We have implemented a uniform standard for drilling equipment throughout the company, and most of our equipment is made by world’s leading manufacturers and indeed our own subsidiary manufacturing companies. Our equipment selection process is based on three main criteria: safety, reliability and fit-for-purpose functionality. These criteria were instrumental for us in reaching our current results.

Our Company has developed solid tender procedures for drilling equipment based on expert reviews that facilitate selection of specifications which fully meet tender requirements both in terms of prices and quality.

Bashneft-Drilling: If by the term “unconventional deposits” we mean fields with shale oil or bituminous oil, then a shortage of modern heavy drilling rigs is only a small limiting factor for the development of such fields when compared with other important factors such as the lack of readily available proven technologies to develop these types of oil reserves. Talking about offshore fields, the shortage of relevant drilling equipment represents a serious restricting factor for offshore field development.

EDC: There is no doubt that should the Bazhenov prove to be economical, then heavier rigs with top drives and mud pumping systems are needed to drill these development wells. The Bazhenov is 500 metres deeper than current productive zones and must have horizontal wells to drain the oil from this shale oil zone. Such heavy rigs would be in addition to the current rig fleet.

ERIELL Group: Oil and gas production is becoming more complicated every year. Operators have to drill deeper wells and in more challenging geological conditions. These drilling challenges can be resolved through joint cooperation by drilling people, oilfield equipment manufacturers and technology development companies, so that the new drilling equipment and technologies meet the most demanding industry standards and requirements. We always work very closely with the Uralmash manufacturing plant – one of Russia’s largest drilling equipment manufacturers. Their ability to promptly adapt existing and advanced designs of oilfield equipment to meet new requirements makes us believe that Russian made equipment will allow us to successfully cope with both today’s and tomorrow’s challenges.

Nabors: In Russia our company works in oil fields which contain various types of reserves, and all our projects have certain specific features. We are using the best technologies from all over the world to successfully implement challenging projects that include fields with hard to recover and unconventional reserves. Our highly experienced engineers are using the opportunity to upgrade and modernize our rigs to fit the requirements of specific field development programs. However, such projects need to be planned in advance as they require certain time frames to implement correctly.

Weatherford: The shortage of 250-ton and heavier rigs in many companies may certainly have a significant impact on development of shale oil reserves. For this purpose, Weatherford Russia can offer four pad rigs and twelve heavy duty stationary rigs. It is known that some good decisions were made by local and international rig manufacturers to motivate drilling contractors to buy such rigs and thus avoid imbalance on the market.

Customers developing, or planning to develop the Bazhenov formation, have clear requirements to surface equipment (pump units, mud cleaning systems, TDS, BOP units) and their age, thus limiting the number of existing rigs fit for such projects.

Bashneft-Drilling: In Bashkiria between 2103 and 2014, horizontal well completions accounted for 85%, compared to 55% in 2012. Successful drilling of such wells largely depend on equipment reliability and failure-free operation, and the involvement of reputable service companies to provide support in drilling fluids, telemetry systems and drill bits.

Nabors: Our drilling activity in Russia is mainly carried out in fields with challenging geological conditions, featuring severe climatic conditions and remote locations. Challenging projects for us represent a good opportunity to develop our own capabilities and skills. We are ready to offer solutions that are able to tackle the most challenging of fields. Such solutions are based on our most valuable resources – highly qualified personnel and a data base using information from our rigs from all over the world.

Weatherford: First of all, we offer new 320-ton pad rigs, Top Drives from leading manufacturers, powerful Weatherford pumps with the capacity of 1600 hp, advanced four-stage mud cleaning systems on all rigs and new heavy duty drilling tools.

I should also note a number of technologies offered by Weatherford, which have already proven their efficiency in Russian and international projects, e.g. Drilling with Casing (DwCTM), Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD), Rotary Steerable Systems (RSS) and Motary Steerable

Nabors: As indicated by industry’s statistics, with the exception of the recession years, production of hydrocarbons increases every year in order to satisfy the growing demand of the world economy, which logically makes us assume that drilling volumes will also increase. From the beginning of 2014 we have been witnessing an increased activity in this sector and have already received several requests from large-size oil companies.

Weatherford: Major Russian operators estimate that in 2014 the scope of production drilling will grow as compared to 2013. Moreover, a number of drilling companies are actively upgrading and expanding their fleet, which also indicates growth. The trends for the near future will include extensive drilling, more complex well designs and logistics and longer well construction periods. Thus drilling scopes may decrease only in case of global financial recession or similar force majeure events.

9.    What improvements in the Russian drilling industry have you noticed recently? What changes will we face in the nearest future (in drilling and rig manufacturing technologies, HSE, operation techniques, etc.)?

Bashneft-Drilling: The historic reckless ambition of the industry to drill more meters at all costs has evolved into an industry that requires an intellectual approach and the use of advanced technologies. This came about due to the requirements of customers that included the design of a new wells, with a focus on its quality, drilling and speed. On this basis, the number of wells drilled using quality drilling mud and telemetry systems is always increasing and the customer performs real time monitoring of the well drilling process. One of the latest drilling technologies involves drilling with coiled tubing used as a continuous drill string, to allow underbalanced drilling in nonproductive intervals.

EDC: As mentioned above the number of horizontal metres drilled continues to increase and in 2013 21% of all metres drilled in Russia were horizontal (versus 14% in 2012). The average depth of the wells drilled also continues to grow as well as the complexity of the wells themselves and more complex completions are installed. This does need heavy rigs and associated technologies such as top drives, mud systems, bits etc., to enable the construction of such wells. We also continue to invest in HSE with dedicated staff, training programs and policies & standards to improve safety performance. We have implemented IADC standards and reporting in our company to benchmark ourselves against worldwide performance. We have also invested in drilling simulators to assist training of our rig crews in processes and procedures. This accelerates knowledge transfer of best practices across our rig crews.

ERIELL Group: In the recent years well construction technologies have noticeably advanced. ERIELL Group was one of the first companies in Russia to use rotary steerable systems in combination with LWD, which resulted in a drastic increase of drilling speed on those specific wells. A lower risk of differential pipe sticking, reduced borehole wall caving and the successful drilling of unstable intervals was largely due to the use of oil based mud the improved composition of which ensures enhanced stability. These technologies, along with the advanced drill pipe design with internal walls polymer coating (IPC), tool joint hardbanding and double shoulder tool joints, enable the drilling of extended reach wells (ERD) with a measured depth of up to 9,000 m, which was a breakthrough in well drilling operations. It is not possible to drill ERD wells without a high capacity, high power rig, which in our case is the 675-ton ZJ-90. Completion technologies include special completion design for multi-stage fracturing, which allows several frac jobs in one run, resulting in several-fold increase of well flow rate.

Nabors: We have noted a step-by-step renewal of the drilling rig fleet in Russia, as well as the entry of strong competitors to this market capable of competing with us both in terms of state-of-the-art rig systems, and technologies used. Western drilling contractors employ their latest developments and solutions related to well construction, setting higher standards for drilling rigs. More and more oil producers refuse to use the general contractor’s approach, still remaining from Soviet times, preferring the multiple services concept that allows them to achieve better efficiency and results. We believe this tendency will only expand in the future, resulting in the rapid growth of the oil industry in Russia.

Bashneft-Drilling: This challenge stems from a lack of initiative from large oil companies’ in terms of promoting such development. Customers need to be aware that the use of the rigs such as the BU-3000EUK or the BU-75BrE today does not guarantee that they will be functioning and available for operations tomorrow. As a drilling contractor, we will not make enough profit to replace these rigs with new and more advanced units. The delayed understanding of our customers to this situation threatens a potential 3 to 5 years of recession in the drilling industry. During this period will be required to carry out the modernization and upgrade of our rig fleet, subject to the availability of the necessary funding.

Nabors: A lack of compliance to Russia’s oil industry standards and regulations, and the related challenges faced when trying to implement new technologies. In order to improve this, continuous monitoring by the relevant Russian authorities to ensure the best technologies and safe practices, and the prompt updating of regional standards and regulations should be considered.

Weatherford: I would like to highlight two major interrelated challenges for the industry. Today, many drilling companies operate at minimum profitability, and in 2014 their daily rates will be even lower than in the previous year, which will result in zero technical development and stagnation. This will also affect the salaries of rig crews and make them keep changing their employers.

The work on the drilling floor of the PaceR801 rig revolves around a stout robot methodically picking up sections of pipe and moving them precisely over the drilling center to rapidly connect the pipe.

While it is one of many technological advances on the rig Nabors bills as “the world’s first fully automated land rig,” the robot is the one “that gets most people interested and excited,” said Travis Purvis, senior vice president, global operations for Nabors Industries Ltd.

As of 18 October, the PaceR801 had completed the first well on an ExxonMobil pad and was drilling the lateral on the second well of the three-well pad. After the third is done, the extended test will move to the next pad.

It is risky to announce who came in first in a competitive race in a secretive business. But Nabors stands out because the PaceR801 has an automated drilling floor, a range of other automated functions above and below ground, and most significantly, it is the only one using its rig to drill producing wells for a customer.

Jason Gahr, operations manager for unconventional drilling at ExxonMobil, said the research collaboration “demonstrates the ability to optimize drilling using the combined power of robotics, automation, computing, and data.”

The companies’ interests range from automating more drilling functions by retrofitting rigs, to wanting to hire the rig, whose name is frequently shortened in conversations to R801.

It was created to show off the fruits of a 5-year drive to create a totally automated version of its Pace high-specification rig. Nabors likens it to the concept cars built by automakers to show off their vision of the future and to promote innovation within the company.

In this case, it is a vision of the near future. While the automated drilling floor is new, much of the rest is recently proven technology. Two of the drilling automation programs used—Nabors’ SmartSLIDE and SmartNAV—are already on 30% of the Nabors fleet, said Austin Groover, director of operations for smart products at Nabors. Those applications, which manage drilling of the curve and directional drilling, plus a third that automates drilling a stand of pipe, SmartDRILL, have been used by ExxonMobil for 2 years.

Maximizing the performance of a rig with multiple proven technologies plus a new one such as a robotic drilling floor required developing a system that coordinates the movements of those apps and the rig hardware while drilling.

A rig floor video would show the robot reaching over to pick up the next piece of hardware—normally a 45-ft segment of pipe that had been measured and its threads doped previously by the system. The arm then moves it over the well center and holds it vertically in place while other machines recognize the thread pattern and spin the pipe to connect it with the right level of torque. Then another application takes over to lower the drillstring to the bottom and resume drilling according to ExxonMobil’s specifications.

The number of steps actually required is far greater than one wordy, oversimplified paragraph can express. ExxonMobil is now working with Nabors to see if the innovation will translate into improved performance.

Occidental Petroleum’s goal for automation is to “capture knowledge,” said John Willis, vice president for drilling and completions for onshore and carbon sequestration for Occidental, in in his keynote address at the recent IADC Advanced Rig Technology Conference (ART) covered by the IADC Drilling Contractor.

The industry has been working toward this point for more than a decade. Work on Nabors’ drilling floor robot dates to 2008 when Equinor initially funded a Norwegian startup, Robotic Drilling Systems AS. Nabors acquired it in 2017 after the equipment was evaluated on a Norwegian test rig.

“The robot and automation can identify what we call ‘odd objects,’” like a bottomhole assembly and get it when needed, said Josh Price, West Texas area manager for Nabors, during a presentation at a recent meeting of the IADC Advanced Rig Technology committee.

The robot made by Nabors’ Canrig unit can expand its capabilities by choosing from an array of tools, including one that can grip and spin a stand of pipe. It also can handle casing, opening the door for automating completions as well.

There has been little demand for mechanical pipe-handling systems for land rigs because “humans can move really fast,” said Paul Pastusek, drilling mechanics advisor for ExxonMobil, while speaking at the ART committee meeting.

Nonetheless, Nabors’ Purvis said the automated system will outperform the status quo on two critical measures that motivated Nabors’ CEO Anthony Petrello to approve the development of the R801.

While there are no people on the drilling floor, the crew there previously will still be working on the rig to perform inspections, maintenance, repairs, and rig moves.

Training will be required as rigs get increasingly automated. The Nabors statement said automation will “provide reskilling opportunities for Nabors employees and the broader industry workforce.”

So, how fast can Nabors’ automated rig connect pipe? The short answer is: They are not saying. The news release about the test said, “Consistent with the practices of drillers and operators on test pads, Nabors and ExxonMobil do not plan to publish performance data and results.”

A description of the robot on the Nabors website said it is capable of pipe connection times—from slips to slips—of less than 1 minute. It added the qualifier “based on early studies.”

The speed estimates are in line with those made by Huisman, which has built a land rig with automated pipe handling for Sirius Well Manufacturing Services, a drilling services joint venture between Shell and the China National Petroleum Co.

Purvis said the R801 is drilling faster than high-performance rigs 5 years ago. Since then drilling has gotten faster so they will need to do better eventually. But the systematic testing program does not sound as though it is designed to set speed records early on.

When comparing automated drilling to traditional crews, it is useful to recall the fable of the tortoise and the hare, where a steady effort beat the faster runner.

When 1-day drilling records are announced, no mention is made of the rig’s performance on the next day. Chances are they are not as fast based on the connection-time data gathered by monitoring programs. They observe that the speed of the work varies from crew to crew and from day to day for each crew.

Drillers at the controls are feeling a different form of performance pressure—a growing number of routines required by customers’ evaluations of the best way to manage drilling. Either way, it is hard for workers to consistently execute specific routines over long shifts, day after day.

In automated drilling, the human inputs include the drilling plan and the system software. The companies are analyzing drilling performance as they go and making changes driven by their observations.

In his keynote speech at ART, Willis described the problems faced when trying to interconnect equipment based on different proprietary designs. “When we go to try to buy automation, it’s really hard to get,” Willis said “We’re largely limited to what’s available from individual drilling contractors. It’s very difficult, if not impossible, to take something from another third party and add that to a rig. And none of our rigs have what we would consider to be a full system of automation today,” he said.

A drilling contractor would respond that this new approach to drilling requires new contract terms. Those agreements would rethink the traditional relationships, with longer-term contracts priced to reward drillers for investing in rigs that cut the days required to drill a well and improve the quality of the hole.

Based on its analysis, ExxonMobil lists 150 parameters to be programmed into rigs working for the company, covering everything from the weight on bit while drilling to rate for starting to drill, Pastusek said.

He is looking forward to a future where the systems can adjust the setpoints based on drilling data revealing unexpected changes. “Rather than preprogramming those, we will allow them to be adaptive,” Pastusek said. It is something Groover would also like to see. “There is a further opportunity to tie in more downhole data to surface automation that would be the next iteration of automation,” he said.

The number of sensors on rigs and drilling equipment continues to soar, and suppliers like Halliburton are working on improving the data gathered while drilling. Its new generation of measurement-while-drilling (MWD) tools will handle downhole processing of the data gathered, allowing it to be fed directly into an automated control system.

While the volume and quality of the data is growing, the amount that can be delivered in real time to the surface is generally limited to what can be sent using mud pulses, which deliver a limited amount of data and only work when the mud pumps are on.

“We hear that wired pipe is the holy grail with fast two-way communication. The reality is wired pipe has been around for 15-plus years,” said Paul Cooper, product manager, Halliburton Sperry Drilling, during an interview about the new MWD system called iStar.

“This is happening today; they are running it in the Eastern Hemisphere in a couple countries,” said Neila Kadri Bebaud, strategic business manager, Halliburton Sperry Drilling. She said there “have been 70 automated rotary steerable runs without any human involvement.”
