Delivering Autonomous Downhole Control Through Every Section of the Well
In this SPE Tech Talk, we discuss the latest advancement in RSS/ABSS downhole steering automation. Over the past 18 years, the downhole automation of RSS and ABSS went from being able to autonomously drill vertical, then along a constant inclination, and finally along a constant inclination and azimuth. Today we are breaking the last barrier of automating the RSS and ABSS steering capability over a curve. Product Champion for RSS and ABSS tools Gilles Vie will share more about the exciting chase for downhole automation, Schlumberger’s 18-year journey to get there and why this autonomous capability is an important step forward for the industry.
