Many initiatives are underway or soon to start that address challenges relevant to digitalization and automation of drilling and wells. Knowing the roles of these various (volunteer) organizations has high value for following relevant developments.
I created a list (see below) of industry organizations working on such initiatives and identified their purpose. I am interested to know if there are other organizations working on digitalization and automation initiatives in drilling and wells that I have overlooked. Please comment with their name and weblink.
- SPE DSATS –?(Drilling Systems Automation Technical Section) accelerate the development and implementation of systems automation in the well drilling industry by supporting initiatives which communicate the?technology, recommend best practices, standardize nomenclature and help define the value of drilling systems automation.
- Drillbotics -?an international competition for universities to design and build a small drilling rig that uses sensors and control algorithms to autonomously drill a rock sample provided by SPE’s?Drilling Systems Automation Technical Section (DSATS). Affiliated with SPE DSATS.
- D-WIS –?(Drilling and Wells Interoperability Standards) establish recommended practices and standards that enable interoperability between all components, equipment and systems used in oil and gas well construction – regardless of the?type or provider.?Affiliated with SPE DSATS and OSDU.
- OSDC – (Open Source Drilling Community) a coalition of industry and academic leaders to support an open-source effort for drilling, to encourage the reuse of ever-improving models and code. Chartered by SPE DSATS.
- DDQUD – (Drilling Data Quality and Uncertainty Description) to increase the awareness and understanding in the drilling community on how to describe drilling data quality and uncertainty. Chartered by DSATS, DUPTS and WPTS.
- DSA Roadmap – (Drilling Systems Automation Roadmap) a cross-industry effort launched in June 2013 to provide insights to industry participants and non industry participants regarding the adoption of advancements in drilling systems automation for both onshore and offshore oil and gas wells.
- DSABOK – (Drilling Systems Automation Body of Knowledge) disseminate Drilling Systems Automation (DSA) knowledge directly or through linkages to various industry recognized websites.
- SPE WPTS –?(Wellbore Position Technical Section) to produce and maintain standards for the industry relating to wellbore survey accuracy.
- ISCWSA – (Industry Steering Committee on Wellbore Survey Accuracy) produces, maintains, and publishes standards for the industry, promoting a collaborative understanding of issues associated with wellbore surveying. Affiliated with SPE WPTS.
- SPE DUPTS – (Drilling Uncertainty Prediction Technical Section) to provide international multidisciplinary forum for technical discussion and a consensus-based arena related to drilling uncertainty & prediction, which focuses mainly on artificial intelligence, machine learning and data science solutions supporting drilling planning and execution challenges.
- IADC ART DCS –?(Advance Rig Technology committee – Data, Controls and Sensors subcommittee) provide information and guidelines to improve safety and reliability of the interfaces between human and machine, and between multiple control systems.
- Energistics -?global consortium that facilitates the development of data exchange standards for the upstream oil and gas industry. An affiliate of The Open Group.
- OGDQ –?(Operators Group for Data Quality) further the state of the art of operational data and data systems which are material to the construction and servicing of oil and gas wellbores.
- Open Group OSDU Forum –?(Open Subsurface Data Universe) delivers an Open Source, standards-based, technology-agnostic data platform for the energy industry that stimulates innovation, industrializes data management, and reduces time to market for new solutions.
- PPDM - (Professional Petroleum Data Management association)?global, not-for-profit society within the petroleum industry that provides leadership for the professionalization of petroleum data management through the development and dissemination of best practices and standards, education?programs, certification programs and professional development opportunities.?
