The IADC Drilling Engineers Committee (DEC)’s Q4 Technology Forum on 12th November will focus on the evolving role of real-time centers, decision support centers and real-time operations centers in the drilling space. Real-time centers continue to play a key role in streamlining operational flows, deploying new technology, and enabling engineers to efficiently solve problems and manage drilling. The basis of the forum will be recent improvements being implemented and ideas for the future of collaboration using a center concept.

Abstracts are invited for presentations on the forum topic with performance and value highlights. This can be a great venue for current work to collect feedback and ideas for future direction.

Abstracts should be focused on technologies, methodologies and philosophies, as well as industry applications.

Suggested categories include:

  1. Operators: In what ways are success and value measured and what are the technologies or methodologies that support the results? What are the future needs to be addressed?
  2. Drilling Contractors: How are your centers being used to optimize and support operations and improve results for your clients? Where do you see the centers going in the future?
  3. Service Providers: What systems and technologies are used and what interventions do they enable? What does the future of the center look like from your perspective?

Deadline for submission is Wednesday, 10th September.
