I-Trak Automation Reduces ILT, Accelerates Trip Speeds On First Middle East Deployment

Baker Hughes implemented the i-Trak drilling automation service for a Middle East customer to enhance tripping operations, resulting in a 13% increase in tripping speeds and saving over 8 hours of rig time. The service utilized digital twins and real-time data to optimize tripping velocities while maintaining safety margins and avoiding swab/surge incidents. Overall, the deployment significantly improved operational efficiency and health, safety, and environmental performance.
