Drilling systems automation has made great strides in applications, with more progress coming. The question now is how the value proposition holds up and what growth is potentially in the future for automation of well completion, intervention, and P&A activities.

SPE DSATS and IADC ART have organized a symposium immediately preceding the annual International Drilling Conference in Stavanger, Norway March 2023 to address these questions. As a prelude, this SPE Live touches on some of the known knowns and known unknowns to start unravelling the issues facing the future of automation in constructing oil & gas and geothermal wells.

Moderated by: Jennifer Presley, SPE Senior Technology Editor.

John de Wardt, DE WARDT AND COMPANY, Director Emeritus SPE DSATS
John Macpherson, Baker Hughes, Director Emeritus SPE DSATS
