  • Systems and methods for controlling annulus backpressure for managed pressure drilling
    Patent number: 12650050
    Abstract: An embodiment of a method includes receiving measurements from a drilling system during a transient period of a drilling operation for a wellbore. The measurements include measurements of annulus pressure and drilling fluid flow rate, and the transient period is a period of time when the drilling fluid flow rate is ramped up or down. In addition, the method includes training an annulus pressure model that relates an annulus frictional pressure drop over a range of drilling fluid flow rates based at least in part on the measurements. Further, the method includes controlling an annulus backpressure of the wellbore by use of the annulus pressure model after the transient period.
