SPE Live Podcast: Interoperability as a Key Factor to Better Drilling

The SPE Drilling System Automation Technical Section has started an initiative to define standards for computer interoperability during the drilling process. This sub-committee is called D-WIS for Drilling and Wells Interoperability Standards. In this SPE Live, Eric Cayeux and Deep Joshi talk about interoperability as the key factor to better drilling automation.

The natural fragmentation of drilling operations into multiple services has slowed down the implementation of drilling automation solutions because computer systems from each involved party are traditionally not designed to exchange information with other systems. The SPE Drilling System Automation Technical Section has therefore started an initiative to define standards for computer interoperability during the drilling process. In this SPE Live, Eric Cayeux and Deep Joshi talk about interoperability as the key factor to better drilling automation.
