Halliburton has acquired Sekal, an autonomous drilling specialist, from Sumitomo Corp. to enhance its drilling automation capabilities. This acquisition integrates Sekal’s DrillTronics platform with Halliburton’s existing LOGIX technologies, aiming to improve real-time well placement, hydraulics, and rig operations, potentially reducing well delivery time by up to 25%. This move follows a previous partnership between the two companies on an ExxonMobil project offshore Guyana, which utilized a closed-loop drilling system.
