Weatherford international has introduced vero automated connection integrity, which applies artificial intelligence to minimize safety risks and validate well integrity with absolute certainty.
In applications ranging from conventional land to complex deep water, the vero solution provides operators with previously unobtainable consistency and accuracy. The solution employs two new proprietary features: automakeup technology, which precisely controls the makeup of tubular connections automatically, and autoevaluate software, which continually assesses torque against original equipment manufacturer specifications.
By applying artificial intelligence at every stage from pipe manufacturing to well installation, the vero solution removes the uncertainty of human judgment from the connection process. In doing so, the solution can minimize the chance of catastrophic well failures associated with poorly made up connections, as well as significantly reduce the total cost of well ownership, minimize safety risks, and protect corporate reputation.
“the world-first vero solution is enabled by the most disruptive technology ever introduced in the tubular running space,” said dean bell, president of well construction for weatherford. “by replacing the inherent flaws of human judgment with automakeup and autoevaluate technologies, vero goes beyond tubular running. We expect it to minimize the associated risks, both onshore and offshore, and help our customers to consistently and reliably build wells that last a lifetime.”
Automated connection integrity
Building wells that last a lifetime
The future of well construction is here. Vero™ automated connection integrity goes above and beyond tubular running for unquestionable success.
Every well has hundreds, if not thousands, of connections, just one of which can compromise the integrity of the entire asset. Furthermore, manually making up so many connections can lead to complacency, which increases the risk of mistakes, injuries, or-even worse-fatalities. Outcomes such as these cost the industry billions as well as its reputation
To remove these risks, we validate well integrity from the wellhead to td with absolute certainty. Vero’m automated connection integrity goes above and beyond tubular running for unquestionable success. Rather than rely on human judgment for connection evaluation, we apply artificial intelligence to eliminate errors or oversights that can lead to safety incidents and costly remediation.

Advantage
Eliiminates: catastrophic well failures and mitigates safety risks
Reduces: total well construction costs
Protects: your corporate reputation and profitability
We apply artificial intelligence to this world-first solution to take our capabilities beyond tubular running. The result is automated makeup technology, which takes control of the procedure with smooth precision, and autonomous evaluation software, which runs connections with error-free integrity
Validate connection integrity with absolute certainty
No matter the environment—from complex deepwater wells to conventional land operations—your connections safeguard your investment.
Through world-first technologies that automate precise makeup and digitize evaluation, we remove human influences and potential errors. The result is secure well integrity to mitigate safety and environmental concerns.
- Extend life-of-well quality by automating well construction to maximize uptime and sustain production
- Avoid workover costs and lost production by building dependable barriers that avert remediation
- Mitigate threats to the environment, safety, and reputation by eliminating unintended exposure
- Enhance safety and improve efficiencies every day
In addition to long-term integrity, vero technologies deliver immediate value. By running the optimal connections with fewer personnel and in less time than conventional operations, we modernize daily processes and reduce costs.
- Reduce onsite personnel to limit safety exposure and minimize logistical costs
- Case and complete wells faster with immediate rig-time reductions
- Execute reliable and consistent operations with automated makeup and autonomous connection evaluation
Apply artificial intelligence at every turn
Your journey toward total automated connection integrity starts and ends with weatherford. At all stages of tubular handling—from the pipe mill to wellbore installation—we help you to make connections that you can trust.
- Pipe-mill facilities validate and trace coupling connections.
- Offline-makeup locations automate makeup away from the critical path.
- Well center make up connections without subjective human influences.
- Offices visualize all connections and improve performance through analytics.
Unveiling vero equipment for your operations
Vero conventional systems
Used on land and shallow-water rigs, the vero system for conventional operations makes up and breaks out casing and completion strings.
After manually positioning the system, the operator pushes a button. Then the system automatically controls the final makeup speeds, detects shoulder torques, and evaluates connections
Vero mechanized systems
For deepwater applications, the vero system for mechanized operations includes a hands-free positioning system and remote controller.
The operator starts the makeup process with just a single click from the control room. Using onboard sensors and programming logic, the system computer automates the entire process, from positioning at well center to making up and evaluating the connection.
