IMS Challenge Boundaries Concerned with integration of the various sensors and IMS that form part of the drilling process to deliver reliable, quality data in a timely fashion.
Systems Machines Limits
• Open conventional drilling systems • Closed Managed Pressure Drilling systems • Smart machines that are measurement platforms, such as, RSS, autodriller, … • Hard system limits given by machine capabilities • Soft system limits given by operational requirements
Sampling
• Requirements such as sample rate, anti-aliasing, sensor resolution, time synchronization, …
Agents
• Processing of data, such as heave, depth tagging, drilling system state, …, up to data aggregation.

Performance Targets Drilling Systems Automation Classes for IMS 0 1 2 3 4
Manual
• manual only IMS, suited for manual control of the drilling process
Monitor
• Monitoring IMS, suited for automatic monitoring of the drilling process both at the wellsite and at a remote location
Advise
• Advice level IMS, suited for supplying information to models and simulators which can generate open-loop advice to the driller
Calibration
• Calibration level IMS, suited for delivering measurements to models and simulators for autocalibration
Control
• Control level IMS, which can generate quality data suited to control the drilling process via real-time models and simulators located at the wellsite
