Helmerich & Payne announced an expanded deployment of its FlexRobotics technology with ExxonMobil, adding seven new systems over the next 12 months to the two already running on H&P rigs, bringing the total number of systems operating to nine. The expansion builds on the successful deployment of the first two FlexRobotics systems and supports ExxonMobil's broader efforts to deploy advanced technologies across its entire drilling operations. FlexRobotics automates repetitive rig-floor activities, reducing personnel exposure to higher-risk tasks while improving consistency, precision and operational efficiency. H&P President and Chief Executive Officer Trey Adams said the expansion demonstrates the value automation can deliver in modern drilling operations, while ExxonMobil Senior Vice President of Unconventional Bart Cahir said the move builds on what the company learned from its initial deployments.
