Baker Hughes launches Kantori
13/04/2026
Baker Hughes, an energy technology company, has announced the launch of the Kantori autonomous well construction solution, a new unified digital service that provides intelligent operations and streamlined workflows across every stage of the well construction process. Kantori was unveiled at the 26th Annual Meeting of Baker Hughes in Florence, Italy.
Kantori combines artificial intelligence (AI) and physics-based models with real-time data analytics to continually optimise performance and enable automation across planning, execution and monitoring activities. This approach supports rapid decision-making with limited human intervention, reducing non-productive time and variability during well construction operations.
“Autonomous drilling has opened new frontiers for our industry, replacing reactive operations with intelligent systems that can learn, adapt and optimise performance in real time,” said Amerino Gatti, Executive Vice President of Oilfield Services & Equipment at Baker Hughes. “This digitally driven approach, built on decades of drilling expertise and intelligent engineering, is making well construction smarter, safer and more predictable. Baker Hughes has set the standard in this field and Kantori marks the next chapter of digital innovation in well construction.”
Kantori supports the entire well construction lifecycle, from connectivity and data integration to well planning and performance optimisation. The solution is scalable by design and can adapt to customer needs, whether for a single well or across an entire field. Corva, which provides real-time analytics and predictive intelligence, is seamlessly integrated with Kantori for enhanced flexibility and control.
Kantori is part of the end-to-end portfolio of digital solutions from Baker Hughes, joining the Leucipa automated field production solution and the Cordant Asset Performance Management (APM) software.
