520 3 |a Providing the necessary energy supply to a growing world and market is essential to support human social development in an environmentally friendly. The energy industry is undergoing a digital transformation and rapidly adopting advanced technologies to improve safety and productivity and reduce carbon emissions. Energy companies are convinced that applying data-driven and physics-based technologies is the economical way forward. In drilling engineering, automating components of the drilling process has seen remarkable milestones with considerable efƠ̐¹ciency gains. However, more elegant solutions are needed to plan, simulate, and optimize the drilling process for traditional and renewable energy generation. This work contributes to such efforts, speciƠ̐¹cally in autonomous drilling optimization, real-time drilling simulation, and data-driven methods by developing: 1) a physics-based and data-driven drilling optimization and control methodologies to aid drilling operators in performing more effective decisions and optimizing the Rate of Penetration (ROP) while reducing drilling dysfunctions. 2) developing an integrated real-time drilling simulator, 3) using data-driven methodologies to identify drilling inefƠ̐¹ciencies and improve performance. Initially, a novel drilling control systems algorithm using machine learning methods to maximize the performance of manually controlled drilling while advising was investigated. This study employs feasible non-linear control theory and data analysis to assist in data pre-analysis and evaluation. Further emphasis was spent on developing algorithms based on formation identiƠ̐¹cation and Mechanical SpeciƠ̐¹c Energy (MSE), simulation, and validation. Initial drilling tests were performed in a lab-scale drilling rig with improved ROP and dysfunction identiƠ̐¹cation algorithms to validate the simulated performance. Ultimately, the miniaturized drilling machine was fully automated and improved with several systems to improve performance and study the dynamic behavior while drilling by designing and implementing new control algorithms to mitigate dysfunctions and optimize the rate of penetration (ROP). Secondly, to overcome some of the current limitations faced by the industry and the need for the integration of drilling simulation models and software, in which cross-domain physics are uni-Ơ̐¹ed within a single tool through the proposition and publication of an initial common open-source framework for drilling simulation and modeling. An open-source framework and platform that spans across technical drilling disciplines surpass what any single academic or commercial orga-nization can achieve. Subsequently, a complementary Ơ̐¹lter for downhole orientation estimation was investigated and developed using numerical modeling simulation methods. In addition, the prospective drilling simulator components previously discussed were used to validate, visualize, and benchmark the performance of the dynamic models using prerecorded high-frequency down-hole data from horizontal wells. Lastly, machine-learning techniques were analyzed using open, and proprietary recorded well logs to identify, derive, and train supervised learning algorithms to quickly identify ongoing or incipient vibration and loading patterns that can damage drill bits and slow the drilling process. Followed by the analysis and implementation feasibility of using these trained models into a con-tained downhole tool for both geothermal and oil drilling operations was analyzed. As such, the primary objectives of this interdisciplinary work build from the milestones mentioned above; in-corporating data-driven, probabilistic, and numerical simulation methods for improved drilling dysfunction identiƠ̐¹cation, automation, and optimization.
