What is NOVOS? Connection Improvements

NOVOS™ is a Process Automation Platform that manages rig To evaluate connection time improvements, we compared the 5 best
equipment to execute drilling programs. Using an imported well consecutive, bottom-to-bottom connections for conventional drilling
plan that describes the desired drilling parameter ranges, NOVOS against 5 consecutive cycles of NOVOS enabled drilling.
performs planned operations until Total Depth is reached. The driller
oversees the process and can easily take control if desired. NOVOS Slips to Bottom
is customizable, scalable, and will allow drilling contractors to Slips to Slips
differentiate their fleet, deliver consistent drilling process cycles, and Bottom to Slips
redirect the focus of the driller to safety and process execution. Conventional Drilling - Average 7.91 minutes
