At the forefront of the digital evolution is the iCAM® Connection Analyzed Make-Up System offered by Frank’s International. The iCAM® system is the industry’s first connection makeup solution customized to unique rig requirements with truly implemented digital solutions. The development, enhancement, experience, and implementation of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithm, enables tubular connections based not solely on engineering design standards set by tubular connection manufacturers, but also on the trained and machine-learned process from previous run history. Moreover, any anomaly found during connection makeup is detected in real-time. The system enhances safety by keeping personnel out of the “red zone” and improves operational efficiency, which extends well life and increases profitability. The risk of human error with the iCAM® system is reduced. Results gathered during multiple years of operational runs through digital enhancement are highlighted below: • 24% rig time savings due to automation and operational productivity • 70% safety improvement with reduction of personnel in the red zone
• 44% reduction in personnel on board with use of remote and intelligent systems Another benefit of this intelligent connection make-up solution is the data capturing of all disposed connection. Factors for threads acceptance and rejection will not only verify and validate engineering design, but can further provide design enhancement, resulting in optimized connection integrity. Cleaner validated data will further eliminate deviations in the decision-making process. With the iCAM® system, millions of data sets are analyzed to allow for accurate decision-making without risking the overall system integrity. Recommendations and guidelines from the system reduce non-productive time and equipment failures. l .............................................................................
