Numerical models are often used to reproduce the well’s behavior accurately and allow precise analyses of the main drilling measurements such as Stand-Pipe pressure, Hookload or Surface torque. Unfortunately, those models require a detailed configuration: drill-string characteristics, well geometry, mud properties all play a central role in the computations. In practice, the configuration process is challenging: the information may be difficult to find, be available late in the drilling process or even be erroneous. The objective of the present work is to develop statistical techniques to automatically determine the drill-string geometry from available sensor values, such that hydraulic and torque-drag models can achieve at least the same level of accuracy as if the configuration was manually entered by an operator.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 For an automated drill-string configuration to be of any use, it must be made available to the automation system early enough during the operations: ideally, reliable estimates should be provided during run-in-hole, and further refinements generated when circulation and rotation are first established, prior to the drilling phase. Those requirements impose to design flexible solutions that make optimum use of the few available measurements.\u0000 We based our system on ensemble techniques: many real-time simulations are run in parallel to continuously maintain an estimate of the distribution of the parameters that characterize the drill-string geometry. We describe the statistical techniques developed to perform the data assimilation, as well as the necessary modifications one must apply to standard numerical models to reach a sufficient number of parallel simulations.\u0000 Finally, we discuss the use of such a system in real conditions: since the drill-string geometry is a critical element of automation systems, special care must be taken when automating this part of the work procedures.

Several platforms were trialled with a ‘fail fast, learn faster’ strategy. This honed approach for implementation has successfully resulted in improved software usability and a cultural transformation.\u0000 Typically, the rig management system comprises of independent components that require significant human input to co-ordinate. This is often managed on multiple systems (some paper based) with limited transparency and a timely learning cycle. The traditional rig management system incorporates several key items such as:\u0000 The Activity Planner is a lookahead for operational timings and the basis for logistic decisions. The Operation Procedures are the instructions created by an onshore engineering team and executed offshore. The Daily Reports comprises of an operational breakdown of the last twenty-four hours. After Action Reviews are a post operation analysis of lessons for future improvements. The software systems trialled had each item of the rig management system analysed in detailed and adapted with an agile methodology.\u0000 The digital rig management system creates the environment where these components communicate with one another, resulting in immediate benefits for instance:\u0000 The standardised Digital instruction format has the user's interface (UI) in mind, highlighting only meaningful information for that operational step e.g., diagrams, videos, documents, and risks.

We apply two different clustering and classification algorithms, namely, k-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) Support Vector Machines (SVM) on big datasets obtained from laboratory and industrial setups.

A common weakness in kick-detection systems is false indications of kicks due to rig operations and drilling practices that cause changes in tank volumes. In this work, we will discuss the modifications made to the existing real-time kick-detection system to handle rig operational practices and reduce false positives.\u0000 The existing kick-detection system analyzes the trends in the drilling data such as tank volumes, flow rates, and pump rates to detect well control events. Extensive field use of this system showed that the rig operations such as transfers between tanks, tank swaps, and adding material to the active tanks have a severe impact on the false-positive rates. Two approaches were developed to handle such operational practices: - Transfer identification: identify transfers between monitored tanks - Comment watcher: Evaluate the rig-memos to check if they might identify an operation that explains the variation in the tank volumes.\u0000 These approaches were tested with historical wells and live wells. Transfers were identified in several historical wells with help from the operator subject matter experts (SMEs). Thresholds such as the rate of transfer and the window size were tuned to optimally identify transfers. The tuned algorithms correctly identified transfers between monitored tanks with more than 85% accuracy. This workflow was added to the existing kick-detection framework. The efficiency of the kick detection logic depends on dynamically adjusting various thresholds. If any transfers were identified, the thresholds were reset which helped further reduce the false positives by 20% - 25%. For the comment watcher, a keyword library was developed with help from the operator SMEs. This library contained a list of keywords that the rig crew frequently uses in the rig memos to describe the operations. Each keyword from the library was mapped to an alarm type to be suppressed. A workflow was implemented to identify if a rig memo contains a keyword and suppress the respective alarm. The comment watcher feature was then implemented on historical wells along with the transfer identification. These updates resulted in a 40% reduction in false positives while maintaining a 100% true positive identification rate.\u0000 This work improves the accuracy and efficacy of a previously presented (SPE 208770) real-time cloud- based kick-identification system by detecting and avoiding the impact of rig operations. Features such as transfer identification and comment watcher are added to determine if the changes in the tank volumes can be attributed to rig operations.

Sometimes, this noise is stronger than the underlying signal, which might lead to false alarms or misrecognition. This paper discusses a novel approach to diagnose failure in real-time, which is also robust to noise.\u0000 Existing methods for fault or failure diagnosis are based on threshold values of peak and average vibrational signals.

This method deconvolutes the signal with the help of minimum entropy deconvolution (MED) and Teager-Kaiser energy operator (TKEO) to remove ambiguity as a result of noise. Then, the signal is decomposed into various intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) that have the highest correlation with the original signal and can be used for failure diagnosis.\u0000 This paper also discusses how spectral analysis can be applied on selected IMFs by comparing the IMF’s impact frequency with the system’s natural frequency so its harmonic drillstring failure can be diagnosed more precisely.","PeriodicalId":103776,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Wed, March 08, 2023","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124678665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current approaches do not classify cutter damage by type, i.e., broken, chipped, lost, etc. We, therefore, present a computer vision model using deep learning neural networks to automate multi-type damage detection in Polycrystalline Diamond Compact (PDC) drill bit cutters.\u0000 The automated bit damage detection approach presented in this paper is based on training a computer vision model on different cutter damage types aimed at detecting and classifying damaged cutters directly. Prior approaches detected cutters first and then classified the damage type for the detected cutters. The You Only Look Once version 5 (YOLOv5) algorithm was selected based on the findings of an earlier published study. Different models of YOLOv5 were trained with different architecture sizes with various optimizers using two-dimensional (2D) drill bit images provided by the SPE Drilling Uncertainty Prediction technical section (DUPTS) and labeled by the authors with training from industry subject matter experts. To achieve the modeling goal, the images were first annotated and labeled to create training, validation, and testing sub-datasets. Then, by changing brightness and color, the images allocated for the training phase were augmented to generate more samples for the model development. The categories defined for labeling the DUPTS dataset were bond failure, broken cutter, chipped cutter, lost cutter, worn cutter, green cutter, green gauge, core out, junk damage, ring out, and top view. These categories can be updated once the IADC upgrade committee finishes upgrading IADC dull bit grading cones.\u0000 Trained models were validated using the validation dataset of 2D images. It showed that the large YOLOv5 with stochastic gradient descent (SGD) optimizer achieved the highest metrics with a short training cycle compared to the Adam optimizer. In addition, the model was tested using an unseen data set collected from the local office of a drill bit supplier. Testing results illustrated a high level of performance. However, it was observed that inconsistency and quality of rig site drill bit photos reduce model accuracy. Therefore, it is suggested that companies produce large sets of quality images for developing better models. This study successfully demonstrates the integration of computer vision and machine learning for drill bit grading by categorizing/classifying damaged cutters by type directly in one stage rather than detecting the cutters first and then classifying them in a second stage. To guarantee the deployed model's robustness and consistency the model deployment has been tested in different environments that include cloud platform, container on a local machine, and cloud platform as a service (PaaS) with an online web app. In addition, the model can detect ring out and cored damages from the top view drill bit images, and to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this ha","PeriodicalId":103776,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Wed, March 08, 2023","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127128660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A novel auto-calibration feature adjusts the ML model in real-time to account for prediction bias. The paper is of interest to operators and service companies seeking to accelerate uptake of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by rig personnel.\u0000 A ten-well campaign in three target formations was drilled from one rig in the lateral sections to test the ML ROP prediction/optimization system. During the first two laterals, the operator office engineers visited the rig to train the rig team and gain their buy-in. For the remaining wells, tests were run in real-time advisory mode. Field test objectives were to develop trust in the ML model, validate real-time vibration monitoring tool with real-time downhole vibration data, and obtain feedback from the rig and office on functionality to accelerate uptake of AI.\u0000 Initially, the ML ROP model passed all success criteria in two of three formations, or four of six wells. One formation failed the ROP accuracy criterion because the predicted ROP was consistently too high, but the ML model accurately captured the variance. This led to the development of a novel automated calibration procedure that adjusts the \"bias\" of the machine learning ROP prediction in a manner like calibrating physics-based models (such as torque and drag hookload) using a calibration factor calculated in real-time by comparing predictions with actual ROP values. This enhancement enables meeting accuracy acceptance criteria and has opened the door for a broader application of the method in other formations and basins.
