Post by Halliburton

The future of drilling with AI and ML is already here. At Convención Nacional Petrolera 2026, Jim Collins, Sperry Drilling vice president, shared what this shift looks like in practice as operators move toward integrated, closed loop well construction. Jim discussed Halliburton’s approach to automation that brings rig execution, downhole conditions, and subsurface insight together in real time. When these elements work as one system, operators see more consistent execution, improved efficiency, and better well placement across increasingly complex wells. The session reinforced a clear takeaway: ML and AI are now operational, not aspirational. Automation is delivering the most value when data, workflows, and decisions are connected across the full well construction process.
