What was once left to numerous workers on the rig deck has now become automated. With the iron roughneck,
which connects and feeds pipe into the wellbore, and MWD and LWD technologies, drilling wells has become more
efficient and safer. The automated drillers cabin combines all of the control in one spot. Drillers now sit in specially
designed chairs with joysticks to control drilling and pipe manipulation. Touch screens allow for ease of use, and
automation of logging and data interpretation makes drilling for wells more efficient.

Now, advancements in oilfield communications have enabled information collected in the automated drillers cabins
to be sent in real-time to offsite locations for remote management.
