Abstract
A method, apparatus, and program product facilitate the automation of an oil & gas process, e.g., a drilling process, through the use of a dynamic phase machine incorporating multiple autonomous agents. The agents may be registered after deployment of the dynamic phase machine to dynamically extend the dynamic phase machine and modify an oil & gas process implemented thereby.
