The webinar “Digital Holistic Approach to Well Construction” took place in mid-June. This event was hosted by Rodolfo Uribe, from Schlumberger, who is in charge of Digital Drilling Business Development for Latin America.

The drilling engineering teams spend a lot of time managing the process involved in well engineering. The use of different engineering applications, databases and workflows that are usually disconnected from one another makes this process inefficient and inflexible, and certainly leaves little time for engineering itself.

Schlumberger understood the constraints of work method and wanted to change it by leveraging digital technologies to maximize the teams’ results, by granting them access to all the data and science they need in a single common system.

Likewise, the company developed an end-to-end workflow, where planning and drilling operations are connected to one another, ensuring that drilling plans are carried out in an effective, agile and collaborative way among work teams, and therefore operations are executed, seeking consistency in repetitive tasks, process adherence, and standardization and efficiency in operational performance, with the main goal of reaching the technical limit in each well.

Rodolfo Uribe is a geologist with 15 years of experience working with Schlumberger. He has worked in different countries such as Colombia, Peru and Ecuador. Most of his career has been focused on onshore and offshore geomechanics and drilling optimization projects. In recent years, he has been linked to the digital area of Schlumberger where he held the position of DELFI Champion. He is currently in charge of Digital Drilling Business Development for Latin America.
