    Abstract: A composition of matter including a fluorescent assembly and a drilling fluid is provided. The fluorescent assembly includes a matrix material and a plurality of fluorophores held within the matrix material and has an average particle size of at least one millimeter. A method includes introducing the fluorescent assembly into a drilling fluid and circulating the drilling fluid through a well during a drilling operation that creates formation cuttings such that the fluorescent assembly interacts with the formation cuttings, creating tagged cuttings. The method further includes collecting returned cuttings from the circulating drilling fluid at a surface of the well, detecting the presence of the fluorescent assembly on the returned cuttings to identify the tagged cuttings, and correlating the tagged cuttings with a drill depth in the well at a time during the drilling operation.

    Abstract: A composition including a fluorescent polymer tag and an aqueous-based drilling fluid is provided. Also provided is a method of determining drill depth of recovered drill cuttings. The method includes introducing a fluorescent polymer tag into a drilling fluid, the fluorescent polymer tag includes the composition having the fluorescent compound linked to the polymer. The method then includes circulating the drilling fluid through a well during a drilling operation that creates formation cuttings such that the fluorescent polymer interacts with the formation cuttings, creating tagged cuttings. The returned cuttings are collected from the circulating drilling fluid at a surface of the well. The method then includes detecting the presence of the fluorescent polymer tag on the returned cuttings to identify the tagged cuttings, and correlating the tagged cuttings with the drill depth in the well at a time during the drilling operation.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for determining a sweep efficiency within a hydrocarbon reservoir. The method includes obtaining a well log for each of a plurality of wellbores penetrating the hydrocarbon reservoir, a deep sensing dataset for the hydrocarbon reservoir and determining a plurality of classified well logs, one from each well log using a first machine learning (ML) network. The method further includes determining a classified deep sensing dataset from the deep sensing dataset using a second ML network, training a third ML network to predict the sweep efficiency based, at least in part on the plurality of classified well logs and the classified deep sensing dataset at a location of each of the wellbores, and determining the sweep efficiency within the hydrocarbon reservoir using the trained third machine learning network based, at least in part, on the classified deep sensing dataset.
