Patent number: 10871762Abstract: Techniques are described for controlling drilling operations based on real time measurement and analysis of fluid properties in a drilling environment. Sensor data can be collected that provides measurement(s) of fluid properties (for example, density and rheology) of the drilling fluid (in other words, downhole mud) around the drill. The measurements can be provided to a hydraulic model that calculates downhole pressure loss in the annulus. Based on this calculation, a calculation of equivalent circulating density (ECD) can be performed. In some implementations, the calculations are performed in real time with respect to the collection of the sensor data. The real time pressure loss and ECD calculations can be used to control bottom hole circulating pressures. The results of the calculations may be used to automatically control drilling operations.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2019Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Assignee: Saudi Arabian Oil CompanyInventors: Odai Elyas, Abdullah Saleh Hussain Al-Yami, Salem H.
