Drillmec, an Italian drilling rig specialist, is collaborating with Rockwell Automation to develop innovative carbon storage technology. By using data-driven intelligence and precision automation, Drillmec aims to make drilling ingress points for new carbon storage facilities faster, safer, and more cost-effective, thus reducing emissions and achieving environmental goals. The technology involves capturing carbon at the point of emission and storing it underground to prevent its release into the atmosphere.
Drillmec’s automated drilling system, powered by Allen-Bradley PowerFlex TL XT 755 AC drives, is more precise and efficient than previous systems, resulting in reduced time, materials, and energy usage. This advanced technology will also decrease the number of staff required onsite, improving safety and controlling costs. The technology can be used both onshore and offshore, making it accessible for new carbon capture, usage, and storage facilities.
Rockwell Automation has been working closely with Drillmec to optimize the drilling workflow for maximum efficiency and minimum emissions. The collaboration aims to make carbon capture and storage commercially attractive while reducing emissions across various industries. By combining expertise and technology, both companies are committed to sustainability and innovation.
Drillmec, known for its drilling and workover rigs, focuses on safety, environment, and innovation in its operations. With a global presence and a reputation for reliability, the company emphasizes high quality, engineering development, timely deliveries, and excellent after-sales service. Rockwell Automation, a global leader in industrial automation, is dedicated to making the world more productive and sustainable through technology and innovation.
