Title: MSE based drilling optimization using neural network simulaton

Abstract

The method disclosed receives a data stream from an MWD system and determines the response of a specific energy (SE) relationship and a rate of penetration (ROP) relationship respectively to variables controllable by the operator, in order to enable operation at a lowest SE, or a highest Rate-of-Penetration (ROP) to SE ratio. The method utilizes artificial neural networks trained by MWD data to deduce a depth-of-cut and torque based on relationships manifesting between the various data points collected, and an SE equation and a predicted ROP is evaluated over a series of probable operating points. The method continuously gathers and analyzes MWD data during the drilling operation and allows an operator to manage the controllable parameters such that operation at the lowest SE or highest ROP or ROP to SE ratio can be achieved during the drilling operation.
