哈里伯顿收购了 Sekal，这是一家钻井自动化软件公司，此前由住友商事株式会社全资拥有。哈里伯顿将 Sekal 的 DrillTronics 自动化平台与哈里伯顿的 LOGIX 自动化和远程操作产品相结合。

Sekal的解决方案已在全球1300多口油井中部署。该综合解决方案实时整合了井位布置、井筒水力学和钻机作业，并与哈里伯顿的LOGIX自动化地质导向服务相辅相成。哈里伯顿表示，客户通过使用该技术，油井交付时间最多可缩短25%。

Halliburton acquired Sekal, a drilling automation software company previously wholly owned by Sumitomo Corporation, combining Sekal’s DrillTronics automation platform with Halliburton’s LOGIX automation and remote operations offering.

Sekal’s solutions have been deployed in more than 1,300 wells worldwide. The combined offering integrates well placement, wellbore hydraulics and rig operations in real time, and pairs with Halliburton’s LOGIX Automated Geosteering service. Halliburton said customers have achieved up to 25% reductions in well delivery times through the use of the technology.
