Drilling Fluids
Having known that, nearly, none of the developed rheological models remain universal enough to describe precisely, the behavior of drilling fluids in a wide range of shear rates, will it be feasible to deduce any (technical) standard method for automatic control of drilling fluids – with reference to real-time drilling fluid measurement (apart from Rheosolution)?
Whether ML can do justice towards optimizing drilling fluid performance in real time in order to achieve the optimal rate of penetration?
To what extent, will we be able to write the computer code in order to represent the experience that consists of fluid formulations with the task aiming to predict fluid properties (such as YP, AP, PV, Gel strength, Filtrate Loss, API Fluid Loss, pH) at the laboratory-scale?
How easy will it be to obtain a functional form in order to map the fluid additives to the desired fluid properties?
