    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include pump systems and methods to improve pump load predictions of pumps. The method includes determining, in a neural network, a pump load of a wellbore pump based on a physics based model of the pump load of the wellbore pump. The method also includes obtaining a measured pump load of the wellbore pump. After initiation of a pump cycle of the wellbore pump, the method further includes predicting a pump load of the wellbore pump based on the physics based model, performing a Bayesian Optimization to reduce a difference between a predicted pump load and the measured pump load to less than a threshold value, and improving a prediction of the pump load based on the Bayesian Optimization.

    Abstract: A physics-influenced deep neural network (PDNN) model, or a deep neural network incorporating a physics-based cost function, can be used to efficiently denoise sensor data. To generate the PDNN model, noisy sensor data is used as training data input to a deep neural network and training output is valuated with a cost function that incorporates a physics-based model. An autoencoder can be coupled to the PDNN model and trained with the reduced-noise sensor data which is output from the PDNN during training of the PDNN or with a separate set of sensor data. The autoencoder detects outliers based on the reconstructed reduced-noise sensor data which it generates. Denoising sensor data by leveraging an autoencoder which is influenced by the physics of the underlying domain based on the incorporation of the physics-based model in the PDNN facilitates accurate and efficient denoising of sensor data and detection of outliers.

    Abstract: System and methods for optimizing parameters for drilling operations are provided. Real-time data including values for input variables associated with a current stage of a drilling operation along a planned well path are acquired. A neural network model is trained to produce an objective function defining a response value for at least one operating variable of the drilling operation. The response value for the operating variable is estimated based on the objective function produced by the trained neural network model. Stochastic optimization is applied to the estimated response value so as to produce an optimized response value for the operating variable. Values of controllable parameters are estimated for a subsequent stage of the drilling operation, based on the optimized response value of the operating variable. The subsequent stage of the drilling operation is performed based on the estimated values of the controllable parameters.

    Abstract: A system for managing well site operations, the system comprising executable partitions, predictive engines, node system stacks, and a blockchain. The predictive engines comprise an Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm to generate earth model variables using a physics model, well log data variables, and seismic data variables. The node system stacks are coupled to the blockchain, sensors, and machine controllers. Each node system stack comprises a Robot Operating System (ROS) based middleware controller, with each coupled to each partition, each node system stack, each predictive engine, and an AI process or processes. The blockchain comprises chained blocks of a distributed network. The distributed network comprises a genesis block and a plurality of subsequent blocks, each subsequent block comprising a well site entry and a hash value of a previous well site entry. The well site entry comprises operation control variables. The operation control variables are based on the earth model variables.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for automated drilling control and optimization are disclosed. Training data, including values of drilling parameters, for a current stage of a drilling operation are acquired. A reinforcement learning model is trained to estimate values of the drilling parameters for a subsequent stage of the drilling operation to be performed, based on the acquired training data and a reward policy mapping inputs and outputs of the model. The subsequent stage of the drilling operation is performed based on the values of the drilling parameters estimated using the trained model. A difference between the estimated and actual values of the drilling parameters is calculated, based on real-time data acquired during the subsequent stage of the drilling operation. The reinforcement learning model is retrained to refine the reward policy, based on the calculated difference. At least one additional stage of the drilling operation is performed using the retrained model.

    Abstract: A system and method for controlling a drilling tool inside a wellbore makes use of Bayesian optimization with range constraints. A computing device samples observed values for controllable drilling parameters such as weight-on-bit (WOB) and drill bit rotational speed in RPM and evaluates a selected drilling parameter such a rate-of-penetration (ROP) for the observed values using an objective function. Range constraints can be continuously learned by the computing device as the range constraints change. A Bayesian optimization, subject to the range constraints and the observed values, can produce an optimized value for the controllable drilling parameter to achieve a predicted value for the selected drilling parameter. The system can then control the drilling tool using the optimized value to achieve the predicted value for the selected drilling parameter.
