Real time analysis of fluid properties for drilling control

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, the memory storing instructions that when executed cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
• accessing sensor data that describes fluid properties of drilling fluid in a drilling environment, wherein the sensor data are generated by one or more sensor devices that are arranged in the drilling environment to periodically measure the fluid properties, and wherein assessing the sensor data includes generating a prediction model using artificial intelligence and machine learning operations to analyze the data;
• analyzing the sensor data to generate an equivalent circulating density (ECD) value for the drilling fluid, wherein the analyzing of the sensor data to generate the ECD value is performed in real time with respect to the generation of the sensor data, and wherein generating the ECD value includes using the prediction model to predict pressure loss and the ECD value based on the sensor data, including determining the accuracy of the predicted pressure loss and the ECD value;
• and
• based at least partly on the ECD value, transmitting at least one control signal to modify at least one operation of a drilling apparatus operating in the drilling environment, wherein the transmitting of the at least one control signal is performed in real time with respect to the generating and the analyzing of the sensor data.
