  • Drilling advisory systems and methods with combined global search and local search methods
    Patent number: 9436173
    Abstract: Combined methods and systems for optimizing drilling related operations include global search engines and local search engines to find the optimal value for at least one controllable drilling parameter, and a data fusion module to combine or select the operational recommendations from global and local search engines. The operational recommendations are used to optimize the objective function, mitigate dysfunctions, and improve drilling efficiency.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 6, 2012
    Date of Patent: September 6, 2016
    Assignee: ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company
    Inventors: Lei Wang, Stephen M. Remmert, Paul E. Pastusek, Jeffrey R. Bailey, Matthew T. Prim, Darren Pais, Dar-Lon Chang, Gregory S. Payette
  • Drilling advisory systems and methods with decision trees for learning and application modes
    Patent number: 9285794
    Abstract: Integrated methods and systems for optimizing drilling related operations include global search engines and local search engines to find an optimal value for at least one controllable drilling parameter, and decision trees to select algorithms such as between learning mode algorithms and application mode algorithms for generating operational recommendations based on the results from global and local search engines. The operational recommendations are used to optimize the objective function, mitigate dysfunctions, and improve drilling efficiency.
