Drilling Optimization via Particle Swarm Optimization
International Journal of Swarm Intelligence Research, 2012The drilling process based on Material Reduction Rate (MRR) is modeled in this work. The modeling of this process is rather time-consuming and expensive as it involves 32 experiments with appropriate apparatus. Having had the model, the authors employed the well-known algorithm, namely Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to solve the maximization problem

Optimized drilling techniques, first applied in 1967, have significantly reduced drilling costs, but have not yet reached full potential. Detailed treatment is given to the interactions of the most important drilling variables. Results indicate that better data, more experience, and confidence will result in greater savings in the future.

Drilling Optimization Using New Directional Drilling Technology
SPE/IADC Middle East Drilling Technology Conference and Exhibition, 2011Abstract A horizontal drilling campaign in Oman required an engineering solution to address the challenges in the 8.5-in. buildup section. The challenges include high dogleg requirements with dogleg severity (DLS) of 9°/100 ft to 11°/100 ft, long reactive shale intervals, poor wellbore quality, weight transfer issues, trajectory control,

Optimization of Drill Bits for Bone Drilling Procedure
Volume 1: Additive Manufacturing; Bio and Sustainable Manufacturing, 2018The paper presents a methodology to optimize drill bits to realize safe drilling of bone materials for many surgeries like orthopedics and neurosurgery. First, a mechanistic model is introduced to relate drilling forces to main drill bit geometry parameters. Then a genetic algorithm is developed to optimize drill bit geometry parameters by minimization

Drilling Optimization Using Drilling Data and Available Technology
Proceedings of SPE Latin America/Caribbean Petroleum Engineering Conference, 1994ABSTRACT This paper demonstrates how information obtained while drilling an oil or gas well, is utilized to optimize drilling costs for upcoming wells in the same field by creating a Geological Drilling Log (GDL). The GDL is created by using drilling models specific to the bits used for individual intervals to generate a formation ...

Drilling Path Optimization by Optimal Foraging Algorithm
IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics, 2018Drilling path optimization (DPO) is a crucial issue in current manufacturing systems. In this paper, an optimization algorithm named the optimal foraging algorithm (OFA) is presented based on optimal foraging theory to solve the sequencing problem when many holes must be drilled.
