  • Integrated end-to-end well construction automation system
    Patent number: 11808132
    Abstract: An end-to-end well construction system includes an e-program for receiving a first input selected from well planning data, rig historical performance data, rig parameters, drilling engineering input, management of change, and a combination thereof, and configured to produce a first output selected from a machine and/or human readable sequence, a time depth curve, a drilling program, and a combination thereof, and a second output including analytics data. Further, the end-to-end well construction system includes a drilling control layer, configured to receive the first output from e-program, and to produce a third output including an automated sequence, and a smart well analytics system configured to receive the analytics data from the e-program and a second input selected from drilling data, downhole data, base data from the e-program, a modeling software, and a combination thereof, and to produce a fourth output to the drilling control layer for automated adjustment.
