The needs of customers with extended reach wells are not being met and we are being asked why we cannot use robots. The first generation of autonomous in-well robots has been built and tested.

The next generation has been designed to have greater power and will communicate with the surface. Their mission will be a lot simpler than working on Mars and easier than the work to automate drilling, seafloor surveillance, and in well perforations.

Autonomous in-well robots will lower opex and capex costs of interventions so the value to the customer is large and the value to the builder of robots is large whether the business model is manufacture and sale, service, or lease. The demand starts with ERW but there are thousands of deviated wells and high value wells that are candidates for robotic intervention.

In-Well Robots

• For: Companies who want to reduce the carbon footprint of existing operations, reduce the costs of interventions by more than 50%, and increase profitability.
• Who: need information and intervention and cannot log or afford to log extended reach and high-value wells.
• Our: Lightweight autonomous in-well robot which can be transported in a helicopter or truck and operated by a crew aided by artificial intelligence.
• Can be operated at a fraction of the cost of conventional conveyance methods to perform light interventions
• Unlike coiled tubing, tractors, and drill pipe are not limited by friction, tool expansion, which are very expensive
• We can perform the same work in thousands of extended reach and high-value wells for half the OPEX and a tenth of the CAPEX cost.
