Resist, surrender, hide or collaborate - with drilling robots
1. Resist, surrender, hide or collaborate?
Will robots take our jobs?
Resist, surrender, hide or collaborate?
Will robots take MY job?
Pete McEldowney
MSc in Robotics
I work in drilling (25 years)
5. Fear then acceptance
Every problem passes through three stages
on the way to acceptance:
First, it appears laughable;
second, it is fought against;
third, it is considered self-evident.
1913 “Allgemeine Verkehrsgeographie” credited to Schopenhauer
6. History of change
• the printing press put scribes out of business, but new jobs
were soon developed to take their place
• Manual typesetting replaced by software eighties
• Effect of internet
• mechanization of agriculture didn’t ruin society or economy
• textile industry underwent significant technological changes
7. Resist
Who has successfully resisted economic change?
• Scribes
• Luddites saboteurs
• Farm labourers horsemen
• Printers
• Journalists
• Miners
• Unions
• those with commercial interests in existing products
• those who identify with existing products
• those who might lose power as a result of change
• don’t fear new technology, they fear the loss it will bring
8. "The coming revolution"
• Rejection of all modern technology — "This is logically necessary,
because modern technology is a whole in which all parts are
interconnected; you can’t get rid of the bad parts without also
giving up those parts that seem good."
• Rejection of civilization itself
• Rejection of materialism and its replacement with a conception of
life that values moderation and self-sufficiency while deprecating
the acquisition of property or of status.
• Love and reverence toward nature or even worship of nature
• Exaltation of freedom
• Punishment of those responsible for the present situation.
"Scientists, engineers, corporation executives, politicians, and so
forth to make the cost of improving technology too great for
anyone to try"
9. Hide
• Off grid, prepper, survivalist
• Amish
• But, less developed countries want what we
have …
10. Surrender
• Let the robots take over work (and war?)
• Take free money (if offered)
• Let them get on with it – increasing productivity
• End of work?
• End of society?
• Utopia or dystopia?
• Can we entertain ourselves?
• How will we feel?
11. Collaborate
• Citizens should shape technology so it benefits
them
• Develop productive interactions with power –
Foucault – ensure change affects those
making the change too
• Equip people with context to allow them to
live a good technologically integrated life
• Technologists - think about the impact
inventions have on society
12. Anticipate and adapt
• Adapt
• Jobs have always changed/disappeared/created
• Not just because of robots
• Complement us
• Interact wisely
• Help people integrate technology
13. New industries that didn’t exist
• Green tech - photovoltaics electric vehicles
renewables
• Energy management
• Network administrator
• Website administrator
• Wearable tech
• Cyber security
• IoT
• Space exploration
• Drone warfare
14. Oilfield jobs that exist 40 years ago
• Measurement while drilling
• Logging while drilling
• Drilling optimisation
• Real-time data analysis
• Remote operations centres
16. We are superior
• Michael Polanyi (1966)
• Polanyi paradox
• We know more than we can tell
• Many tasks which we, human beings, understand
intuitively how to perform but we cannot
verbalize the rules or procedures behind them.
And hence, cannot program them into computers
• Our perception and manipulation abilities
• Our creative or social intelligence abilities
(Aren’t we ..?)
17. THE FUTURE OF EMPLOYMENT: HOW
SUSCEPTIBLE ARE JOBS TO
COMPUTERISATION
Frey & Osborne (2013)
• Looked at what job entails – DOT/ONET
• What could be done by computers
• probability of computerisation might vary

19. Down manning
Currently at each wellsite:
• Directional Driller x 2
• MWD/LWD x 2/4
In future, using Remote Operations Centres:
• 2 technicians on each wellsite
• 2 DD, 2 MWD, 2 LWD in ROC covering 4-6 sites
20. Weaknesses
Technology seems to break down a lot
They’re not as smart as us, yet
Not mobile – difficult to be mobile with stairs
Unable to multi-task like people can
21. Can a robot do my job?

22. How could they?
Economist David Autor claims that there are two
routes around Polanyi’s constraint:
• Change the environment eg dishwasher
• Machine learning – infer rules
23. • Directional drilling software measures and
corrects
• Currently suggests
• Future - make adjustments to rig operation
itself
Recent developments
24. These roles at risk
Most senior, experienced, trained, expensive:
Directional drillers, cementers, wireline
specialists
Supervisors, managers
In charge, but restricted to one spot
Monitoring dials, controlling electric and
hydraulic devices & processes, making high level
decisions
25. WEF Report
“Currently, robots can only perform a single function
and need supervision … A future is envisioned where
robots will be able to run multiple operations
autonomously and, to a large extent, replace field
workers.”
World Economic Forum, 2017
26. Drilling in 10 years
• Routine Pipe handling
• Routine drilling
• Artificial intelligence giving advice
• Fewer people in field, some specialist in
offices
27. What will be drilling in 20 years
• AI taking action
• Human technicians assisting robots onsite
• Remote operating centres with all specialists
and managers off rig
• AI onshore advising decisions geoscience
finance risk
28. What will be drilling in 100 years?
• AI making decisions and operating rig
• Automated logistics to rigs, auto ships
• Robots handling all equipment, every event
• Humans monitoring and maintaining, assisting
• Will require total redesign of rig to accommodate
mobility issues
• As well as human-like intelligence
• Oil may have finally run out by then
• Pandemics devastate society or isolate humans
Editor's Notes
And should we be concerned and what should we do about it
Windows + R keys to open the Run dialog, type presentationsettings.exe
Because the robotics Industry thinks so
based on its research
Looking at the past we see that new tech always brings change
Advance in robotics must affect work
Where the robotics industry thinks they will be used
Some industries need robots for precision or safety or speed as well as cost of labour
Demographics and politics economics are changing not just tech advances
Some countries where labour is expensive will be short of labour
Poor countries producing lot s of cheap labour
Need robots to compete
Governments were taking down barriers to labour movement
Now putting them up - here via Brexit and in US via Trump
Is resistance futile?
Book 1975
Manifesto 1980-90
Manifesto – pretty revolutionary
Reject all of tech because it’s all connected
Consumerism is bad
Destroying nature
Taking our privacy and freedom
Child prodigy Professor Ted Kaczynski of Harvard Unabomber sent letter bombs to people involved with technology 80s 90s killed 3 injured 23
Cold war fears
Y2K fears
9/11 fears
fear
Universal basic income
Producing stuff for who is going to buy stuff with income
Who pays
Boredom
Unrest
Entertained – like the Romans and The Games – to distract us from daily issues – give us free bread and circuses pānis et circēnsēs; from a remark by the Roman satirist Juvenal on the limited desires of the Roman populace like the Hunger Games
Emotional aspect in STEEPLED
Develop productive interactions with power Michel Foucault FOO KOH (1926–1984) was a French historian and philosopher,
Democratic movements can create “alliances of actors” which make sure that the consequences of the actions taken are also experienced by the people making the decisions.
Greenpeace
Friends of the earth
Ethical movements
Us – consumers, the market, society
politics, economics, markets, fashions
IT jobs – network, database, programmers, web designers are new
Typewriters – shorthand
Spreadsheets
Facebook evil power wealth to users of our data – resit hack create egalitarian alternative – or is is just another way for us to relate like letter writing
30 years ago
1980s 1990s when I joined
Created as a result of tech developments high tech jobs
Increased the jobs available
Jobs will be created in robotics industry
Some jobs require robots in say electronics precision nuclear danger food hygiene
Because we don’t have cheap labour
as a result of say evolution of smartphones or music distribution or warehousing or medicine
Great at maths and spreadsheets and logic
Robots are improving their perception and manipulation abilities
We are still way ahead

THE FUTURE OF EMPLOYMENT: HOW
SUSCEPTIBLE ARE JOBS TO
COMPUTERISATION
Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael A. Osborne
,2013
My industry familiar with sometimes only think of roughnecks doing this but they do lots more
Roustabout or roughneck
Basically a low tech job
It’ll be a while before a robot or robots can do all these
But they can lift pipe
Fewer people to fly in out on helicopters every couple weeks
Don’t have to live in a big engine
Fewer people exposed to danger
Fewer to hotel – feed clean bed
Won’t be as many of these particular jobs DD MWD but many relocate to ROC
Supports less qualified people at rig site
Fewer people to fly in out on helicopters every couple weeks
Don’t have to live in a big engine
Fewer people exposed to danger
Fewer to hotel – feed clean bed
Won’t be as many of these particular jobs DD MWD
Supports less qualified people at rig site
Polanyi's Paradox – many tasks can’t be computerised because they are indefinable
mobile
flexibility judgement common sense – not computable
intuitive knowledge that is difficult to codify and automate.
Computation can help do these task though
Oil rigs – redesign them, and the work processes, to suit robots
Some roles on rig would be hard to fully replace
Roughnecks and roustabouts because they are mobile – rig floor lifting yes other places needed no
Driller most senior experienced trained most vulnerable to replacement because he is restricted to one place
Machine learning – long way from overall drilling application but could be applied to parts
Not been many Legal issues but this one - DD on site was responsible for decisions actions – negotiating to change responsibilities
Driller in seat
Directional drilling supervisor in white – getting dirty is a sign of weakness
These functions are paradoxically easy to roboticise
Even though need higher qualifications
Could be moved to ROC
World economic forum report last year
Again industry CEOs
I think it is a long long way off
Lifting heavy stuff
Something bad happening – close the valves – better than humans constant attention focus not doing other things
Indicating
Like autopilots in planes evasive action collision
Twenty years behind
Up down left right have financial & production consequences – teams of people do now based on many different inputs logs samples data
Auto ships OK
Collaborative cranes and robots OK
I think it is unlikely
Up down left right have financial & production consequences – teams of people do now
Too complex to do everything
Overtaken by other natural problems
