  • Publication number: 20240044210
    Abstract: Methods, computing systems, and computer-readable media for dynamically adjusting drilling parameters during a drilling operation. The approach involves receiving, in real time, drilling parameter measurements and response measurements during a drilling operation. If the response measurements are below the lower limit of a window or trending downwards, the approach determines a new drilling parameter value that will increase the response measurement. The approach dynamically adjusts the drilling parameter value above the sectional limit, while still respecting hard limits. When the measured value improves, the approach returns the limit for the drilling parameter to the sectional limit.

  • Publication number: 20230399935
    Abstract: A drilling system includes a knowledge manager that monitors drilling information for the drilling system. The knowledge manager identifies a trigger event based on drilling information that is outside of a threshold range of values for the drilling information. The trigger event is based a knowledge type. The knowledge manager prepares a mitigation action, such as an alert and/or a change to drilling parameters, to mitigate the trigger event.
