Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable medium to perform operations including: obtaining, in real-time from one or more sensors of a drilling system, real-time drilling data of a drilling operation of drilling a wellbore; using the drilling data to calculate a carrying capacity index (CCI) of a drilling fluid and a cutting concentration in an annulus (CCA) of the wellbore; determining that at least one of the CCI and the CCA is outside a respective range; determining a corrective action to adjust the at least one of the CCI and the CCA to be within the respective range; and performing the corrective action.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- obtaining, in real-time from one or more sensors of a drilling system, real-time drilling data of a drilling operation of drilling a wellbore;
- using the drilling data to calculate a carrying capacity index (CCI) of a drilling fluid and a cutting concentration in an annulus (CCA) of the wellbore;
- determining that at least one of the CCI and the CCA is outside a respective range;
- determining a corrective action to adjust the at least one of the CCI and the CCA to be within the respective range;
- and
- performing the corrective action.
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions executable by a computer system to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining, in real-time from one or more sensors of a drilling system, real-time drilling data of a drilling operation of drilling a wellbore;
- using the drilling data to calculate a carrying capacity index (CCI) of a drilling fluid and a cutting concentration in an annulus (CCA) of the wellbore;
- determining that at least one of the CCI and the CCA is outside a respective range;
- determining a corrective action to adjust the at least one of the CCI and the CCA to be within the respective range;
- and
- performing the corrective action.
A computer-implemented system, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the one or more processors and storing programming instructions for execution by the one or more processors, the programming instructions instructing the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining, in real-time from one or more sensors of a drilling system, real-time drilling data of a drilling operation of drilling a wellbore;
- using the drilling data to calculate a carrying capacity index (CCI) of a drilling fluid and a cutting concentration in an annulus (CCA) of the wellbore;
- determining that at least one of the CCI and the CCA is outside a respective range;
- determining a corrective action to adjust the at least one of the CCI and the CCA to be within the respective range;
- and
- performing the corrective action.
