Increase of drilling safety and reduction of drilling operation costs, especially improvement of drilling efficiency, are two important considerations in the oil and gas industry. The rate of penetration (ROP, alternatively ...

In recent years, there were multiple papers published related to rate of penetration prediction using machine learning vastly outperforming analytical methods. There are models proposed reportedly achieving R2 values as ...

Drilling fast and safe has and is a key value for operator companies. Maintaining a high Rate of Penetration (ROP) during drilling without causing incidents enables drilling project costs to be reduced. In 1964 Bingham ...

Directional drilling is a common and essential procedure of major extended reach drilling operations. With the development of directional drilling technologies, the percentage of recoverable oil production has increased. ...

The oil and gas industry, especially its upstream part generates a massive amount of data. The proper data collection and processing are the vital elements of reducing the non-productive time and increasing the drilling ...

Directional drilling has become a standard method to drill a well since the last decades, mainly caused by directional technologies and methods developments. The next step that the drilling industry is ready to take is to ...

Various researchers proposed several types of methods, algorithms, and simulator to control bottom hole assembly (BHA) while drilling a deviated well. These works consist of drilling, control, mechanical and electrical ...

A precise anti-collision analysis is becoming even more important in the past few years, with the increasing amount of wells being drilled in highly congested fields. The costs associated with the production fields have ...
