Sorry my english isn't that good but: You mean building and operating this thing isn't a job? Teaching physics to build it isn't a job? Helping people who desperately need a nurse/teacher/babysitter/doctor/friend/etc isn't a job? Because that's what one who lost a job could use their free'd up time for. What's important is NOT "what" you work. Important is that the people who developed, built and own such an industrial machine SHARE their wealth with those who otherwise couldn't afford to pay YOU in your alternate job. And let's get this straight: when people see artists they complain how the artist doesn't need to work hard in a real job. But with more jobs being industrialized there's just more time for jobs in arts too. Some kid might be able to become an artist today. Only important thing is, that those making money with machines like from this video support culture and arts too. That's the (only) way how EVERYONE will benefit from one technical advance. Now there's one more important decision. It's been debated for hundreds of years. Should the wealthiest few decide how/if they support others all by themselves, or can we say: a certain amount of that wealth should belong to the system that made someone's lucky path possible. Should there be a "giveback" and how big should this giveback be. Is it okay to tax extreme wealth a little bit higher than "not-extreme" wealth. Someone extremely wealthy might cost you a job with their inventions. But the money from the tax they pay will directly finance/enable the creating of new jobs/education for thousands. Tax incomes mean we as a state can build new facilities and employ people in the process. Education for our kids to become engineers or doctors in universities can be funded by tax incomes. New hospitals, streets, powerplants, whatever... That's how a country is being built. It never matters WHAT people work. It matters if we allow ourselves to tax extreme wealth. The wealthy might be nice people, but they can't build all our hospitals, streets, etc by themselves. They just won't be able, as much as they'd like. A society/country/state needs to be organized by a tax system to be able to plan ahead, to be able to maintain everything and to give everyone quality education, quality health care, etc. The world is far away from that. There are very few very wealthy and in contrast/as a result many poor/low income/unemployed. We can choose to make it even more extreme, or we can decide that our governments are OUR governments, run by people like us, to organize our countries for us. Maybe you think now that I'm just a dreamy european communist, but I'd suggest you'd take this more seriously without thinking in bad clichés. Have a nice day everyone.
nah... I would not worry about putting roughnecks or roustabouts out of a job. This thing surely requires a lot of maintenance, and surveillance. Besides, they will still need people to drive cranes and forklifts. That being said, not every operation will require such a top technology rig. In Texas, where I live, the vast majority of the rigs use old technology, e.g. no top drive, but good old rotary table to drive the drill pipe. The kind of technology shown is probably good where man power is expensive, remote offshore operations for example. When I started my job, the majority of offshore crews were from developing countries and spending six months on, four weeks off. There have been a lot of improvement since....
Pipe handler is nice, looks like it’s adapted from a drill ship. Some low cost intellipipe would complete the loop, smart rig controlling smart downhole tools with Wireline fidelity data…. Just need a system which can consume the data and make the correct adjustments. How does the rig handle mud additives? Is that automated as well? What about cement jobs, Wireline jobs etc…. A fully automated rig should be more than an aerosol can of dope and a fancy pipe handler. I mean can a fancy pipe handler make up long LWD strings with delicate connectors between collars? It’s a great idea and lots of room to grow
I really doubt this automated pipe handler can do anything but the typical tripping in and out drill pipe and running tubing and casing. Any specialty tools which are not of standard dimensions will require human beings. I remember when they introduced iron roughnecks on my rig... the fragile monel LWD tools were egged by the gripping jaws and we ended up destroying a logging string.... I can imagine that mud and cement mixing could be automated easily. Silos can be operated by computers someone just need to introduce the proper parameters. Wireline logging? I don't think this will ever be automated. Although it has come a long way since logs were recorded on camera. For sure, it will make pipe handling safer than using chains. When I started, all the rig crew were missing fingers. These chains should be banned.
WOW! this is awesome....crewless on the rig floor is unbelievable...how many people the rig has to watch away from the operations? is the rig maintenance cost profitable with the daily rates?
Hello! my name is Aleksey. Please tell me why the employees of Nabors drilling international limited in the Russian Federation, namely the assistant driller, have such a small salary?
Yep, gonna need a full time tech on the rig now. Nabors won’t spend money to fix stuff the right way so somebody going to need to be around to apply bandaids.
Damn I bet when it takes a sh*t, it really takes a sh*t. Lol
Nice putting people out of Job. Well done!

Lmao! People really get upset over progress

Good! Low level, overpaid job anyway

Nice
Hello! my name is Aleksey. Please tell me why the employees of Nabors drilling international limited in the Russian Federation, namely the assistant driller, have such a small salary?
Because it is much less dangerous, that’s why
Because the Russians keep thinking Ukraine is theirs. Wait till Ukraine owns Russia next year.
Because nabors is a cheap and shitty company. I am not sure why anyone still works for them.
I wonder how fast it can trip
Has no crew but 15 fitters and 12 sparkys.
It would take the entire hit h to round trip 15000 feet
as you know, High Tech / High Problems😅
Yep, gonna need a full time tech on the rig now. Nabors won’t spend money to fix stuff the right way so somebody going to need to be around to apply bandaids.
