  • Patent number: 11761320
    Abstract: A method and system to drill a wellbore and identify drill bit failure by deconvoluting sensor data. The method comprises drilling the wellbore using a drill bit; and measuring data indicative of a parameter associated with the drill bit using a sensor located in the wellbore. The method also comprises decomposing the data to generate an intrinsic mode function of the drill bit data; and analyzing the intrinsic mode function to identify a drill bit failure. The system for drilling the wellbore comprises a drill bit; a sensor; and a processor. The sensor is located in the wellbore and operable to measure data indicative of a parameter associated with the drill bit. The processor is in communication with the sensor and operable to decompose the data to generate an intrinsic mode function of the drill bit data; and analyze the intrinsic mode function to identify a drill bit failure.

  • Patent number: 11286765
    Abstract: A method may comprise drilling a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation; collecting drill time data for the drilling; converting the drill time data into segmented drill time data; decomposing the segmented drill time data into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) using an empirical mode decomposition; reconstructing the segmented drill time data by combining the IMFs with different weights, thereby producing modified segmented drill time data; and calculating an invisible lost time for the drilling based on the segmented drill time data and the modified segmented drill time data.
