簡介：在SPE/IADC 會議上，Verdande公司推出新的實時鉆井軟件，它收集了先前鉆井實例中獲得的經驗教訓、優良的技巧和案例，使作業方在鉆井過程中能夠避免發生代價昂貴的問題。

Verdande Technology unveiled new case-based reasoning software for real-time drilling operations at the SPE/IADC conference in Amsterdam.

DrillEdge is designed to lower risk, increase the rate of penetration, and limit non-productive time while drilling. The software draws on a database of lessons learned, best practice and experiences across a wide range of rigs and assets - operators can access this knowledge to diagnose and avoid costly drilling problems before they occur or escalate. The technology is also being extended for assistance in planning phase operations.

Trondheim-based Verdande has been working on DrillEdge, a spin-off from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, for the past four years. According to a spokesperson, the company has also coordinated a pilot operation of DrillEdge with StatoilHydro on three platforms on the Norwegian shelf, and there could be further pilot installations shortly in the Gulf of Mexico and the Middle East.
