Nekkar ASA: Subsidiary wins rig services contract
October 8, 2025 – Intellilift and InteliWell sign a contract for their joint venture’s game-changing drilling automation solution.
InteliWell, a joint venture formed to accelerate autonomous well construction, has today announced that it has secured a contract to provide automation services on the Transocean Deepwater Conqueror, an ultra-deepwater drillship operating in the Gulf of America.
The Inteliwell platform was installed and commissioned over a four-day period in September. Initially, automation services will concentrate on automated tripping and drilling connections, utilizing the InteliAutomate and InteliTrak applications.
For the Deepwater Conqueror team, the InteliWell automation platform will deliver consistency and efficiency, as well as automated well protection and a reduction in the teams cognitive load when executing repetitive well construction tasks.
Furthermore, InteliWell has contracted Intellilift to deliver the services for its software products. For Intellilift, this contract comprises a fixed-sum project plus Software-as-a-Service fee throughout the contract period.
This is the third deployment of the Inteliwell automation platform, following on from a successful ongoing contract with Transocean Norge offshore Norway and an extended trial in the Gulf of America.
