How Corva is Advancing Automated Prevention for Auto-Driller Dysfunction and Tool Joint Hangups
Couldn't make it to the Predictive Drilling Updates 2026 live session? You can now watch our expert-led webinar on-demand.
In this session, Corva experts William Fox and Curtis Cheatham walk through two major dysfunction prevention modules designed to help crews drill fast and smooth, without sacrificing motor life, stability, or control. The discussion covers how Corva's Predictive Drilling has evolved from ROP optimization into a broader suite of automation capabilities, then dives into what’s new: dynamic differential pressure derating powered by real-time conditions and configurable enhancements to tool joint hang-up mitigation.
🎯 What You’ll Learn
- How dynamic differential pressure derating adapts to real-time downhole conditions (vs. static limits)
- What inputs power the OptiML integration, including motor specs, MWD temperature, and BHA hours
- Updates to tool joint hang-up mitigation, including new options for RPM control and per-joint configurability
- What’s next for Predictive Drilling, including dynamic headroom management and stronger explainability for rig teams
