In search of domestic "digital drilling"

07.10.2021

At the end of September, several media outlets reported on the creation of the "Digital Drilling Rig" JSC "NaftaGaz". At the time of publication, I did not know the technologies of JSC "NaftaGaz", but I know about the development of a digital drilling rig by LLC "Uralmash NGO Holding". A few years ago, on the recommendation of the management of OOO Gazprom Burenie, we tried to communicate with the project team of Uralmash NGO Holding. The Union brings together leading experts in the field of digital technologies of the fuel and energy complex, so such cooperation would be useful for developers. Unfortunately, there was no interest then. Since then, unfortunately, nothing has been heard about success in the field of digitalization of drilling rigs.

is engaged in the creation of a domestic digital drilling rig. Union specialists have been creating digital twins for a long time. There is a domestic software platform that can be used to control drilling. On the website of JSC "NaftaGaz" could not find any mention of digital drilling. Information about digital rigs was only on news media feeds. In particular,
The Union, which brings together major experts, is ready to take part in the Digital Drilling Rig project, as our experience confirms that that no domestic company alone can cope with this. The introduction of advanced digital technologies for drilling requires deep expertise. Domestic digital platforms in geophysics, drilling, and production management will make it possible to create integrated solutions for customers. The main thing is to move from declarations and PR to action.
