DrillDocs Secures US Patent 12,525,017

In a groundbreaking move for the oil and gas industry, DrillDocs has announced the granting of US patent number 12,525,017. This innovation is set to revolutionize the way digital shale shaker surveillance is conducted, solidifying DrillDocs' position as a leader in the field. The patent includes advanced techniques for utilizing computer vision to improve the tracking of drilling cuttings, thereby enhancing safety and efficiency in drilling operations.

The newly patented technology employs a multi-stage computer vision methodology, allowing DrillDocs' flagship system, CleanSight®, to offer unprecedented accuracy in object imaging, detection, and analysis. By using multiple regions of interest (ROIs) that dynamically adapt to changes, operators can monitor drilling cuttings as they descend from the edge of the shale shaker. This level of detail enables a sophisticated analysis that can significantly improve operational insights in real time.

DrillDocs' innovative approach minimizes computational load while maximizing the quality of the data extracted from drilling cuttings. With the ability to estimate 3D measurements using just a single camera, this technology represents a notable leap in technical capabilities. According to DrillDocs CEO Calvin Holt, securing this patent underscores their commitment to addressing real-world challenges in drilling through practical, operator-centric technology. He adds, “Our mission is to arm drilling teams with data that facilitate quicker, safer, and well-informed decision-making, further driving efficiency in the field.”

Impact on Drilling Operations

DrillDocs' advancements will provide drilling teams with real-time actionable data, helping to optimize their rate of penetration and reducing non-productive time. The CleanSight® platform is now distinguished as the most advanced digital shaker surveillance system in the marketplace, confirming DrillDocs' innovative edge. This patent enhances the system's capability to deliver high-fidelity tracking without impeding rig operations.

Further emphasizing the significance of the patent, Mert Geveci, CTO of DrillDocs, remarked on the technological leap it represents. He pointed out that the combination of adaptive ROI selection with cutting-edge computer vision allows the extraction of critical insights in challenging shaker environments. “This innovation is not just about technological advancement; it’s about practical solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing workflows,” Geveci noted.

Conclusion

As DrillDocs continues to evolve, its growing portfolio of patents not only reinforces its leadership in digital shale shaker surveillance but also sets a new benchmark for the oilfield digital transformation. The advancements in computer vision provide drilling operators not only with essential tools but also enhance their operational efficiency and safety on-site. With a firm commitment to leading industry innovation, DrillDocs is paving the way for safer, more efficient oil and gas operations across the globe.
