Baker Hughes, an energy technology company, has announced the launch of the Kantori™ autonomous well construction solution, a new unified digital service that provides intelligent operations and streamlined workflows across every stage of the well construction process. Kantori was unveiled at Baker Hughes’ 26th Annual Meeting in Florence, Italy.
Kantori combines artificial intelligence and physics-based models with real-time data analytics to continually optimise performance and enable automation across planning, execution and monitoring activities. This approach supports rapid decision making with limited human intervention, reducing nonproductive time and variability during well construction operations.
“Autonomous drilling has opened new frontiers for our industry, replacing reactive operations with intelligent systems that can learn, adapt and optimise performance in real time,” said Amerino Gatti, executive vice president, Oilfield Services & Equipment at Baker Hughes. “This digitally driven approach, built on decades of drilling expertise and intelligent engineering, is making well construction smarter, safer and more predictable. Baker Hughes has set the standard in this field, and Kantori marks the next chapter of digital innovation in well construction.”
Kantori supports the entire well construction life cycle, from connectivity and data integration to well planning and performance optimisation. The solution is scalable by design and adapts to customer needs, whether for a single well or across an entire field. Corva, which provides real-time analytics and predictive intelligence, is seamlessly integrated with Kantori for enhanced flexibility and control.
Kantori is part of Baker Hughes’ end-to-end portfolio of digital solutions, joining LeucipaTM automated field production solution and CordantTM Asset Performance Management software. With a 100 year heritage of energy innovation, Baker Hughes is integrating digital solutions such as Kantori with the company’s proven technologies to help customers achieve greater efficiency, extend asset life, and maximise returns.
