Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming drilling operations by enhancing situational awareness, improving decision-making, reducing risk, and codifying operational experience into scalable systems. These advanced tools excel at processing and interpreting real-time data, analyzing trends, and detecting downhole dysfunctions early.
NOV’s Drilling Beliefs & Analytics (DBA) employs AI to provide real-time, actionable insights into critical well conditions. Using probabilistic models trained on real-time and contextual data, the system detects drilling and tripping dysfunctions early, enabling rig crews to respond before issues escalate and helping to mitigate risk and improve performance.
