METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PREDICTION CONTROL IN DRILLING DYNAMICS USING NEURAL NETWORKS

摘要

The present invention provides a drilling system that utilizes a neural network for predictive control of drilling operations. A downhole processor controls the operation of the various devices in a bottom hole assembly to effect changes to drilling parameters and drilling direction to autonomously optimize the drilling effectiveness. The neural network iteratively updates a prediction model of the drilling operations and provides recommendations for drilling corrections to a drilling operator.
