6 We are Late Automation application evolved very quickly in other industries, due to: Accidents, and their impact in the society; Logistics; Efficiency improvement needs; Cost reduction needs. Aircraft can take off, fly, and land by themselves for several years now.

7 What do we really need? We already have the technology to automate many aspects of the well construction process. What is the level of automation needed for each process? There are several isolated automation and remote operation initiatives, focusing on different targets. Standardization of systems and procedures is needed to achieve a seamless integration of technologies.

8 Rigs Will Need New Crews The workflow and decision making process need to change to accommodate automation. Maintenance will be one key feature to safety and efficiency. Source: Human factors need to be taken in account: Redefining jobs and creating new ones Specific training for the crews Use of training simulators Examples are aeronautics and nuclear plants

Logistics, etc. There is a need to define who is the integrator and what its role.

9 Alignment and Integration Well Construction has more stakeholders than most of other industries Operators Drilling Contractors Service Providers Manufacturers Logistics, etc. There is a need to define who is the integrator and what its role. A step change is needed to make automation happen. Which stakeholder should lead this process?
