Abstract: Drilling automation is a current development trend of offshore oil and gas drilling exploitation. It can not only save drilling time and improve drilling efficiency, but also optimize the drilling process and ensure drilling safety. Based on the seventh generation semi-submersible drilling platform, this paper conducts analysis and designs on each component of the drilling control system. This research provides a certain reference value for the future development of automated drilling platforms.
