  • Patent number: 11676000
    Abstract: The subject disclosure provides for a mechanism implemented with neural networks through machine learning to predict wear and relative performance metrics for performing repairs on drill bits in a next repair cycle, which can improve decision making by drill bit repair model engines, drill bit design, and help reduce the cost of drill bit repairs. The machine learning mechanism includes obtaining drill bit data from different data sources and integrating the drill bit data from each of the data sources into an integrated dataset. The integrated dataset is pre-processed to filter out outliers. The filtered dataset is applied to a neural network to build a machine learning based model and extract features that indicate significant parameters affecting wear. A repair type prediction is determined with the applied machine learning based model and is provided as a signal for facilitating a drill bit operation on a cutter of the drill bit.

  • Publication number: 20230107580
    Abstract: A method comprises receiving a time series of data values for a time window of each operational parameter of a number of operational parameters of equipment; calculating a time derivative feature that comprises a change of the data values of a first operational parameter of the number of operational parameters over the time window; and classifying, using a machine learning model and based on the time derivative feature, an operational mode of the equipment into different failure categories.

  • Publication number: 20230104543
    Abstract: A method comprises sampling, at a first sampling rate for a first time window, data values of at least one operational parameter of equipment. The method comprises sampling, at a second sampling rate for a second time window, the data values of the at least one operational parameter, wherein the second sampling rate is different from the first sampling rate. The method comprises classifying, using a machine learning model and the data values in the first time window and the second time window, an operational mode of the equipment into different failure categories.

  • Publication number: 20220316328
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for evaluating a worn-out condition of a drilling bit in real time, i.e., when the drilling bit is drilling in the borehole. The method disclosed herein incorporates both physics based as well as machine learning based aspects to provide existing and forecasted evaluations. In one example a method of evaluating properties of a drilling bit when in a borehole is disclosed that includes: (1) determining formation properties corresponding to a subterranean formation at a location of the drilling bit in the borehole, (2) calculating an existing bit wear condition of the drilling bit based on the formation properties, (3) providing a forecasted bit wear condition of the drilling bit based on the existing bit wear condition and real time parameters, and (4) evaluating performance of the drilling bit based on the forecasted bit wear condition.
