Nabors Drilling Technologies and Corva AI have expanded their strategic alliance, reinforcing the shared vision to accelerate digital transformation in the drilling industry.
Building on the strategic alliance, Nabors and Corva are extending their collaboration into the RigCLOUD® platform to advance drilling intelligence and broaden industry impact.
RigCLOUD® Powered by Corva is a fully integrated drilling intelligence solution that is set to combine Nabors’ edge and cloud computing platform with Corva’s industry-leading AI-driven analytics.
Leveraging Corva’s Platform-as-a-Service and drilling solutions, Nabors aims to extend its operational reach across diverse data residency jurisdictions and accelerate entry into new markets by strengthening services for E&P customers and third-party drilling contractors.
A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND COLLABORATION
RigCLOUD® Powered by Corva will enhance real-time data processing, predictive insights, and performance optimisation, giving operators and contractors the ability to improve decision-making and maximise efficiency.
As a premier drilling intelligence solution, this integration will equip customers with industry-leading tools to unlock new opportunities across operations. More specifically, it will enable:
• Seamless Edge-to-Cloud integration: Deliver a consistent, integrated experience across both remote and rigsite user environments through real-time rig data processing and cloud computing.
• Drilling intelligence at the rigsite: Provide actionable insights to drilling crews directly on the rigsite through Corva applications, when bandwidth permits.
• Flexible and scalable solutions for customers: Empower customers to use RigCLOUD® and Corva independently or together, with the option to integrate the SmartROS® rig operating system for additional automation solutions.
• Joint application development: Allow Nabors and Corva to jointly create transformative AI and ML technologies for the drilling industry.
• Market penetration: Cultivate new entry points with E&P customers and third-party drilling contractors.
