  • Patent number: 11982649
    Abstract: A shear testing system and method of thermo-seepage-mechanical field and engineering disturbance coupling under deep and complex condition are provided. The shear testing system can be used in conjunction with an axial pressure application device to simplify the structure, save costs, and facilitate a triaxial confining pressure—temperature—axial pressure—torsional shear coupled test on a rock specimen. The shear testing system can achieve the following three purposes. First, the shear testing system can convert an axial pressure into a torsional shear force through a transmission mechanism of a power conversion assembly. Second, the shear testing system can apply an axial pressure to the rock specimen fixed between two specimen fixing heads, through a pressure shaft of an axial pressure mechanism. Third, the shear testing system can apply a triaxial confining pressure and a temperature field to the rock specimen.

  • Patent number: 11649714
    Abstract: A method for predicting and optimizing an ROP for oil and gas drilling based on Bayesian optimization includes: acquiring raw drilling data according to a preset sampling period, constructing an initial sample data set based on the raw drilling data, constructing an ROP prediction model based on the initial sample data set, and predicting an ROP at a next sample point through a Gaussian process regression based on the ROP prediction model. The present invention realizes rapid analysis of historical drilling data and accurate prediction of an ROP range at a sample point in a feasible domain. The method can obtain an optimized ROP and an optimized engineering parameter through Bayesian optimization, and obtain an engineering parameter corresponding to an optimal ROP. The method has few restrictions on the drilling engineering parameter and the raw formation parameter, improves prediction accuracy, and avoids the problem of blurred parameter value boundaries.
