哈里伯顿和埃克森美孚在圭亚那海上钻井作业期间完成了一套完全闭环自动化地质井位布置系统。

该项目整合了钻机自动化、自动地下解释和井位布置以及实时水力学，创建了一个连接地质数据、钻井决策和钻机控制系统的单一工作流程。

该系统结合了哈里伯顿公司的 LOGIX 编排和自动地质导向技术、EarthStar 超深电阻率服务和 Sekal 公司的 DrillTronics 系统，可在油藏边界内引导井眼，同时自主优化钻井和起下钻作业。

自动化钻井作业流程使水平段约470米位于储层内，而储层段的完工时间比计划提前了约15%。起下钻作业次数也减少了约33%。

该项目由Wells Alliance Guyana团队执行，该团队成员包括埃克森美孚、哈里伯顿、诺布尔和Sekal。这些公司表示，该系统集成了地下解释、井位布置和钻井自动化功能，旨在提高海上油井建设过程中的施工效率和油​​藏接触率。

Halliburton and ExxonMobil completed a fully closed-loop automated geological well placement system during offshore drilling operations in Guyana.

The project integrated rig automation, automated subsurface interpretation and well placement, and real-time hydraulics to create a single workflow linking geological data, drilling decisions and rig control systems.

The system combined Halliburton’s LOGIX orchestration and automated geosteering technology with the EarthStar ultra-deep resistivity service and Sekal’s DrillTronics system to steer the well within reservoir boundaries while autonomously optimizing drilling and tripping operations.

The automated drilling workflow placed about 470 m of the lateral section within the reservoir, while the reservoir section was completed approximately 15% ahead of plan. Tripping operations were also reduced by about 33%.

The project was executed by the Wells Alliance Guyana team, which includes ExxonMobil, Halliburton, Noble and Sekal. The companies said the system integrates subsurface interpretation, well placement and drilling automation to improve execution efficiency and reservoir contact during offshore well construction.
