Company Description

Sekal provides real time drilling decision support and automation software to the oil and gas industry.

Sekal was formed to improve the safety and efficiency of drilling operations through advanced real-time engineering support. Sekal is commercializing two software solutions, DrillScene and DrillTronics. DrillScene Advanced Monitoring is an exception-based method for detecting deteriorating hole conditions that may lead to significant drilling problems. It is based upon a continuous comparison of transient model-based predictions against the real-time measurements at the rig. DrillTronics is a drilling automation system for controlled drilling operations, reducing non productive time (NPT) and optimizing drilling operations. DrillTronics controls actively the draw-work, top-drive and mud pumps to account for the dynamic behaviour of the well during drilling operations.
