Abstract

This chapter discusses the current technological status of the drilling industry and the direction in which it is moving in to be in alignment with the fourth industrial revolution (4IR). To adapt and keep up with the resulting shifts and disruptions, and fully reap benefits from the technologies, associated with 4IR, it is believed that drilling will have to take a technology leap rather than a technology step.
