A patent by the inventors Mikalsen, Kenneth (Sandnes, NO), Soyland, Svein (Kvernaland, NO), filed on August 11, 2021, was published online on February 13, 2024, according to news reporting originating from Alexandria, Virginia, by NewsRx correspondents. Patent number 11898407 is assigned to Nabors Drilling Technologies USA Inc. (Houston, Texas, United States). The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the inventors: "Robots can assist operators when performing subterranean operations, such as drilling wellbores, casing wellbores, wellbore testing, etc., that may utilize a segmented tubular string extending in the wellbore. The robots, such as pipe handlers, can handle tubulars to present the tubulars to a well center of a rig for connection to a tubular string (such as when the tubular string is being tripped into the wellbore) or handle tubulars to retrieve them from the well center of the rig when connections to the tubular string are broken (such as when the tubular string is being tripped out of the wellbore). As connections are made, the robots may assist operators (or autonomously control equipment) to guide the next tubular onto a stickup at well center during a tripping in operation, spinning the tubular onto the stickup, and torqueing the tubular joint created when the tubular was threadably connected to the stickup. However, improvements in robotic systems are continually needed to increase efficiencies in subterranean operations."
