Abstract
A system can provide for determining characteristics loss in a wellbore. The system can include a processor and a non-transitory memory with instructions that are executable by the processor for causing the processor to execute operations. The operations can include receiving, from sensors in a wellbore, data corresponding to loss indicators. The operations can include determining a loss probability for each loss indicator. The operations can include determining a total loss probability of fluid loss in the wellbore based on the loss probabilities. The operations can include outputting the total loss probability to be used in a drilling operation in the wellbore.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable memory comprising instructions that are executable by the processor for causing the processor to:
- receive, from sensors in a wellbore, data corresponding to a plurality of loss indicators;
- determine a plurality of loss probabilities, each loss probability of the plurality of loss probabilities corresponding to a loss indicator of the plurality of loss indicators;
- determine, based on the plurality of loss probabilities, a total loss probability of fluid loss in the wellbore;
- determine, based on the total loss probability of fluid loss in the wellbore, a loss mitigation operation;
- and
- control the loss mitigation operation in the wellbore.
A method comprising:
- receiving, from sensors in a wellbore, data corresponding to a plurality of loss indicators;
- determining, by a computing device, a plurality of loss probabilities, each loss probability of the plurality of loss probabilities corresponding to a loss indicator of the plurality of loss indicators;
- determining, by the computing device and based on the plurality of loss probabilities, a total loss probability of fluid loss in the wellbore;
- determining, by the computing device and based on the total loss probability of fluid loss in the wellbore, a loss mitigation operation;
- and
- controlling, by the computing device, a loss mitigation operation in the wellbore.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that are executable by a processor for causing the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from sensors in a wellbore, data corresponding to a plurality of loss indicators;
- determining a plurality of loss probabilities, each loss probability of the plurality of loss probabilities corresponding to a loss indicator of the plurality of loss indicators;
- determining, based on the plurality of loss probabilities, a total loss probability of fluid loss in the wellbore;
- determining, based on the total loss probability of fluid loss in the wellbore, a loss mitigation operation;
- and
- controlling the loss mitigation operation in the wellbore.
