据今日石油网2021年10月12日报道，全球能源行业先进技术领先供应商纳伯斯工业公司（Nabors Industries Ltd）宣布，其旗下的世界上第一部全自动陆上钻机PACE- R801日前为埃克森美孚公司在二叠纪盆地所钻的第一口水平井钻到了总深度。

纳伯斯工业公司说，把该公司专有的自动钻井软件Smart Suite与PACE?-R801上的Canrig机器人技术相结合，可以创建一个无人钻台，将工作人员从红色区域排除，并提供稳定、可预测的钻井性能。

与汽车行业的概念车类似，PACE-R801的这一特殊配置是为了展示纳伯斯工业公司的技术，并推动行业性能和可能性的边界。

纳伯斯工业公司钻井队和全球第三方钻井队的钻井作业都可使用这种具有特色的自动化、机器人和数字化技术。
