The Digital Drilling company announced an update to the AKB+ digital platform, which fully automates drilling processes. The new solution allows you to manage all stages of well construction with minimal human intervention, increasing efficiency and reducing risks.
Digital Drilling, a Russian developer of innovative solutions for the oil and gas industry, presented an updated version of the AKB+ platform. This system is designed to fully automate drilling processes, from starting pumps to working out the drilled interval. The platform controls key components such as the brake system, top drive and pumping group, ensuring that the well path is precisely followed.
One of the key features of AKB+ is adaptive algorithms that automatically select optimal drilling modes for different types of rocks. The system also prevents drill pipes from getting stuck due to oscillation and provides precise directional drilling by keeping the whipstock in the specified sector.
An important advantage of the platform is the built-in vibration protection (ShockTest). Algorithms reduce vibration levels, which increases the service life of equipment and minimizes the risk of accidents. In addition, AKB+ collects data in real time, analyzes it and offers solutions to optimize processes.
Advantages of the AKB+ platform:
– Reducing drilling time by eliminating manual operations.
– Increased safety by minimizing the human factor.
– Reduced equipment repair costs due to vibration protection.
– Repeatability of processes: each stage of drilling is carried out according to a digital script.
The updated AKB+ platform from Digital Drilling represents an important step in the development of automation in the oil and gas industry. The implementation of such solutions allows companies to increase drilling accuracy, reduce work time and optimize costs.
