Drilling Intelligence

This Edition at a Glance ADNOC's AD-300 enters live commercial operation as the first AI-enabled walking island rig to execute closed-loop autonomous drilling without continuous driller override on a producing field. Halliburton consolidates LOGIX and DrillTronics into a unified autonomous drilling stack, validated in Guyana with ExxonMobil in the industry's first fully integrated closed-loop automated well placement. SLB reports 2.4 million feet of automated drilling footage

Major OFS vendors are no longer positioning digital as a service enhancement bundled into footage contracts. They are building discrete financial identities around their digital portfolios, assigning investor-facing revenue targets, and restructuring commercial terms accordingly.
