en.Wedoany.com Reported - Halliburton has deployed its LOGIX automation and remote operations technology for an Eni deepwater exploration well offshore Indonesia. The company stated that this marks the first integration of full rig automation and managed pressure drilling (MPD) in the Asia-Pacific region.

This deployment integrates rig surface equipment, automatic well positioning, downhole hydraulics, and the MPD control system into an interconnected closed-loop automation system. Through Halliburton's LOGIX Orchestration service, drilling and tripping operations were coordinated within a single workflow, breaking the traditional separation between drilling execution and pressure management.

Halliburton stated that the combination of LOGIX Orchestration and MPD achieved over 15% efficiency improvement in narrow operating window environments while maintaining stable well control capabilities. The company added that its automation team collaborated with Eni to align driller control, downhole automation, and pressure management within a single system.

Jim Collins, Vice President of Sperry Drilling at Halliburton, said that LOGIX Orchestration enables real-time coordination of drilling decisions across surface, subsurface, and downhole systems. When rig automation is integrated with MPD, it provides operators with better control and consistent drilling performance in complex wells.

This successful deployment demonstrates the scalability of advanced drilling automation technology in deepwater environments. The project also reflects the industry's evolving demand for automation, shifting from decision support to real-time execution.
