March 27, 2024

Elena talks with Lonnie Smith, Co-Founder of Turnco and creator of the B.R.I.T.E and D90 processes. Lonnie and Turnco are leading technical authorities in solving BHA (Bottom Hole Assembly) data analytics challenges for operators and drilling contractors alike. Lonnie has 25 years of experience in bottom-hole assembly applications, and holds an Executive Education Certificate in Energy from the University of Texas , Red McCombs School of Business and a BA in finance from the University of Houston.



Lonnie discusses Turnco’s B.R.I.T.E and D90 processes which provide visibility, control, tool history and performance of BHA tools in real time, allowing companies to rely on historical data to reduce NPT (non – productive time) and optimize today’s drilling operations. Lonnie also discusses the use of AI (artificial intelligence) now and in the future as a cutting – edge tool that can make predictions on what is going on down hole in a drill string. Turnco has a new software, AI-FIT that can improve equipment life and drilling motor consistency and productivity.
