Drilling Systems Automation Roadmap Report
The Drilling Systems Automation (DSA) Roadmap Report is a first of its kind in the oil and gas drilling industry. The purpose of this report is to describe a vision for DSA and the steps that may be taken to move the industry forward and to affordably achieve this vision. Delivering on the promise of DSA requires a roadmap to describe the interrelations within a complex operation and to show how those interrelations can be advanced to deliver value.
