Here we explore a real-time solution that anticipates drilling events and avoid delays caused by such issues as poor hole cleaning, higher torque and drag, swab and surge, stuck pipe, lost circulation, formation damage and wellbore instability. This is important if drilling optimisation is a major technical and corporate goal or if you wish to go beyond the traditional approach of collecting real-time data only to monitor operations. The presented state-of-the-art ‘real-time drilling optimisation’ solution creates a dynamic, real-time picture of the entire wellbore and key drilling variables and parameters using advanced, tightly coupled thermodynamic, hydraulic and mechanical drilling models and trend analysis applications to anticipate potential drilling issues in real-time while drilling. The solution can also be used to perform scenario based ‘what-if’ analysis and ‘look-ahead’ simulations of drilling operation with the purpose to analyse outcome of alternative operating scenarios. This is an effective solution that simplifies real-time data analysis by using trends and deviations between modelled and actual data to predict changing wellbore conditions and developing a digital twin of a wellbore. This paper includes robotic drilling automation, aimed at reducing invisible loss time, enhancing drilling efficiency and safety by applying operational safeguards to the drilling control system, providing automatic safety mechanisms and enabling automatic sequences. This paper highlights technical cases demonstrating how this analytic solution not only auto-detects symptoms (which can lead to drilling events or hazards, invisible loss time and non-productive time) but also optimises drilling performance through simulation well ahead of time, thus driving drilling efficiency.

Pump Pressure

Real-time drilling optimization improves drilling performance by providing early warnings in operation Mud hydraulics is a key aspect of drilling that can be optimized by access to real-time data. Different from the investigated references, reliable prediction of pump pressure provides an early warning of circulation problems, washout, lost circulation, underground blowout, and kicks. This will help the driller to make necessary corrections to mitigate potential problems. In this study, an artificial neural network (ANN) model to predict hydraulics was implemented through the fitting tool of matlab. Following the determination of the optimum model, the sensitivity analysis of input parameters on the created model was investigated by using forward regression method. Next, the remaining data from the selected well samples was applied for simulation to verify the quality of the developed model. The novelty is this paper is validation of computer models with actual field data collected from an operator in LA. The simulation result was promising as compared with collected field data. This model can accurately predict pump pressure versus depth in analogous formations. The result of this work shows the potential of the approach developed in this work based on NN models for predicting real-time drilling hydraulics.

Momentary Assessment

Abstract Background Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) often requires respondents to complete surveys in the moment to report real-time experiences. Because EMA may seem disruptive or intrusive, respondents may not complete surveys as directed in certain circumstances. Purpose This article aims to determine the effect of environmental characteristics on the likelihood of instances where respondents do not complete EMA surveys (referred to as survey incompletion), and to estimate the impact of survey incompletion on EMA self-report data. Research Design An observational study. Study Sample Ten adults hearing aid (HA) users. Data Collection and Analysis Experienced, bilateral HA users were recruited and fit with study HAs. The study HAs were equipped with real-time data loggers, an algorithm that logged the data generated by HAs (e.g., overall sound level, environment classification, and feature status including microphone mode and amount of gain reduction). The study HAs were also connected via Bluetooth to a smartphone app, which collected the real-time data logging data as well as presented the participants with EMA surveys about their listening environments and experiences. The participants were sent out to wear the HAs and complete surveys for 1 week. Real-time data logging was triggered when participants completed surveys and when participants ignored or snoozed surveys. Data logging data were used to estimate the effect of environmental characteristics on the likelihood of survey incompletion, and to predict participants' responses to survey questions in the instances of survey incompletion. Results Across the 10 participants, 715 surveys were completed and survey incompletion occurred 228 times. Mixed effects logistic regression models indicated that survey incompletion was more likely to happen in the environments that were less quiet and contained more speech, noise, and machine sounds, and in the environments wherein directional microphones and noise reduction algorithms were enabled. The results of survey response prediction further indicated that the participants could have reported more challenging environments and more listening difficulty in the instances of survey incompletion. However, the difference in the distribution of survey responses between the observed responses and the combined observed and predicted responses was small. Conclusion The present study indicates that EMA survey incompletion occurs systematically. Although survey incompletion could bias EMA self-report data, the impact is likely to be small.
