Resources
Our eVolve™ Optimization Service’s premier offering improves drilling efficiency and wellbore quality while enhancing safety. AUTOMATE uses the world’s first application of closed-loop downhole data to drive NOV’s state-of-the-art rig control systems. Sensors in the drilling environment enable best-in-class performance with a control system finely tuned for any operation. This technology uses innovative software to improve drilling performance and operational efficiencies in addition to reducing manual interpretation of drilling data.
AUTOMATE includes six main components*:
- High-frequency, high-speed downhole data acquisition tools
- IntelliServ™ high-speed telemetry network and service
- NOV control system add-on
- Drilling applications and software
- Graphical user interfaces and reporting
- NOV personnel support
In addition to these components, real-time remote monitoring from the Real-Time Technology Center (RTTC) and on-site supervision ensure optimum performance. Enhanced data sets reduce and refine assumptions about the drilling environment, advancing the industry’s wellbore technology. Real-time data and action-oriented software increase safety, improve wellbore conditions, and reduce well delivery costs.
* NOV control system and NOV top drive are required.
