Advansa AI

Advansa AI is GA Drilling's drilling optimization software for NexTitan, the autonomous downhole drive tool.

Advansa AI

What is Advansa AI?

Most drilling automation systems control the rig from the surface, through the drawworks, top drive and pumps. Advansa AI works with NexTitan, a tool in the bottom hole assembly, and sets the parameters it drills with.

How it works Use cases FAQ

Key Functionality

Advansa AI has four parts

It runs on top of the software already on the rig. Nothing needs to be replaced.

Key features

Data pipeline. Records every NexTitan run, historical and real-time, so each well becomes training data for the next.

Drilling simulator. A digital twin of NexTitan, built on GA Drilling's own physics engine, that tests new control modes before they are used downhole.

AI model. Trained on real drilling data, it sets NexTitan's drilling parameters.

Interface. Shows the drilling team why Advansa AI made each decision.

Use cases

See how Advansa AI and NexTitan can help your next drilling operation

Inclined and horizontal wells

Maximize reservoir contact with inclined and horizontal wells. NexTitan enables efficient drilling in hard, hot formations, improving geothermal well economics.

Offshore wells with high day rates

Faster offshore drilling reduces rig time, cuts millions in costs, lowers risks, and boosts project NPV through earlier well completion.

Drilling for industrial use

Decarbonize factories, data centers, and power plants with scalable geothermal. Factory-style drilling cuts costs and enables rapid well programs.

Frequently asked questions

What is Advansa AI?

Advansa AI is GA Drilling's drilling optimization software for NexTitan, the autonomous downhole drive tool. It combines a data pipeline, a drilling simulator, AI and an interface in one system.

About NexTitan

How does Advansa AI work with NexTitan?

NexTitan records data downhole on every run. Advansa AI combines that data with data from earlier wells to set NexTitan's drilling parameters, and the interface shows the drilling team why each change was made.

How NexTitan works

Is Advansa AI a drilling rig simulator?

No. Drilling rig simulators are used to train rig crews. The drill simulator in Advansa AI is a digital twin of NexTitan. It runs drill simulations to test new control modes before they are used in a well.

What is a drilling simulator?

Is Advansa AI a drilling performance dashboard?

No. A dashboard shows what happened on a run. Advansa AI uses the same data to decide what NexTitan does next, and it works on top of the dashboards you already use.

What is drilling optimization?

Who owns the drilling data?

Operators have access to all of their own data from Advansa AI.

Can Advansa AI help with NPT tracking?

Yes. Advansa AI records every NexTitan run and compares runs against each other, so drilling teams can see where time was lost to drilling dysfunction and what changed from one run to the next.

What is non-productive time (NPT)?

Does it work with my drill bit and BHA?

Advansa AI works with the data from NexTitan. NexTitan sits in the bottom hole assembly (BHA) and applies force to whatever is below it, so standard polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) drill bits work without modification.
