Artificial Intelligence Software Aids Decision-Making in Onshore Drilling

The software can be deployed across 50 wells in a factory-drilling approach to development, and by identifying inefficiencies in the drilling process for a number of wells, an end user can take immediate action and improve their operational efficiency.

The software can allow workers to monitor a greater number of rigs.

“If you start to expand the number of rigs that four workers might be monitoring in a real-time operations center to 80, it can be overwhelming for the people to monitor,” said Wade.

Traditionally, more workers would be added, by Verdande’s software, which can add additional human-based decision capability without increasing the headcount level.

“Software like ours is helping to drive the quality of data in the oil and gas industry today,” Wade commented. Historically, time-based data was around 30 second range, even five years ago, but applications such as Verdande’s is driving the increase in data resolution down to the one to 10 second range, with 10 seconds becoming less common.
