根据 2 月 26 日的新闻稿，哈里伯顿和 Sekal AS 在挪威大陆架为Equinor部署了世界上第一个自动化海底钻井系统。

该井的集成闭环控制解决方案将自主定向钻井与自动化井筒液压和动态地面钻机设备控制结合起来。

 该公司表示，它采用了哈里伯顿的 LOGIX 自动化和远程操作、Sekal 的 Drilltronics 和钻机自动化控制系统。

哈里伯顿表示，Equinor 现在可以实时优化钻井参数，只需按一下按钮即可实现精确的井位布置。该系统通过实时的地下、井筒流体和压力系统高级模型，在安全限度内优化井位布置和钻井。

该模型还配备了智能定向钻井工具和钻机自动化控制系统。

哈里伯顿钻井和评估高级副总裁 Josh Sears 表示：“该项目展示了自主井下钻井，我们精心设计了行业领先的井位布置、井筒完整性和钻机流程自动化技术。钻井自动化的未来一片光明，而且就在眼前。”

Halliburton and Sekal AS deployed the world’s first automated on-bottom drilling system for Equinor on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, according to a Feb. 26 press release.

The well’s integrated closed-loop control solution orchestrates autonomous directional drilling with automated wellbore hydraulics and dynamic surface drilling rig equipment control.

 It uses Halliburton’s LOGIX automation and remote operations, Sekal’s Drilltronics and the rig automation control system, the company said.

Equinor can now optimize drilling parameters in real time and deliver precise well placement with the single push of a button, Halliburton said. The system optimizes well placement and drilling within safe limits through real-time advanced models of subsurface, wellbore fluid, and pressure systems.

The models also feature smart directional drilling tools and the rig automation control system.

“This project demonstrated autonomous on-bottom drilling where we orchestrated industry leading technology of well placement, wellbore integrity, and rig process automation. The future for drilling automation is bright, and it is here,” said Josh Sears, senior vice president of drilling and evaluation at Halliburton.
