Knowledge-Based Decision Support in Oil Well Drilling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Oil well drilling is a complex process which frequently is leading to operational problems. The process generates huge amounts of data. In order to deal with the complexity of the problems addressed, and the large number of parameters involved, our approach extends a pure case-based reasoning method with reasoning within a model of general domain knowledge. The general knowledge makes the system less vulnerable for syntactical variations that do not reflect semantically differences, by serving as explanatory support for case retrieval and reuse. A tool, called TrollCreek, has been developed. It is shown how the combined reasoning method enables focused decision support for fault diagnosis and prediction of potential unwanted events in this domain.

متن کاملEnhancing the Situation Awareness of Decision Makers by Applying Case-Based Reasoning on Streaming Data
Data is generally expected to continue its exponential growth the next five to ten years. However, it is commonly agreed that the amount of data that currently exist is abundant and that there is still much to achieve with it. The industry, in general, has recognized both the growth and the need to analyze the data. This is also the case with oil well drilling operations. Currently, operators m...
متن کاملThe Application of Least Square Support Vector Machine as a Mathematical Algorithm for Diagnosing Drilling Effectivity in Shaly Formations
The problem of slow drilling in deep shale formations occurs worldwide causing significant expenses to the oil industry. Bit balling which is widely considered as the main cause of poor bit performance in shales, especially deep shales, is being drilled with water-based mud. Therefore, efforts have been made to develop a model to diagnose drilling effectivity. Hence, we arrived at graphical cor...
