Project: Safe and High-efficiency well drilling using advanced autonomous pressure control and monitoring

Acronym SHlELD (Reference Number: 115437)
Duration 01/09/2021 - 01/09/2023
Project Topic SHIELD will develop a breakthrough solution for precision controlled drilling of depleted oil wells. It will dramatically increase safety by reducing the risk of a loss of well control by +450 times and decreasing costly non-productive time by 50%. We will deliver an advanced autonomous monitoring and control system that enables effective Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD). SHIELD will utilise a sensor fusion approach, coupled with novel dynamic pressure control models and intelligent algorithms.
