Abstract: A method of operating an engine includes operating the engine in first and second engine operating map regions by performing passive jet ignition combustion with a first stoichiometric fuel mixture and a first volume of residual gas. The engine is operated in a third engine operating map region by performing turbulent jet controlled compression ignition (TJCCI) with an ultra lean fuel mixture and a first volume of cooled exhaust gas recirculation, a fourth engine operating map region by performing passive jet ignition combustion with a third stoichiometric fuel mixture and a second volume of cooled exhaust gas recirculation, and a fifth engine operating map region, characterized by shutting off the engine. The engine is operated in a mode transition region between the second, third, and fourth engine operating map regions by performing passive jet ignition combustion with a second stoichiometric fuel mixture and a second volume of residual gas.

Abstract: A system and method for determining a mud-weight window is disclosed. The method includes determining, for each of a plurality of borehole-formation training models, a fracture mud weight using a first physics-based method and a collapse mud weight using a second physics-based method, and training, using the plurality of borehole-formation training models, an artificial intelligence (AI) network to predict the fracture and collapse mud weights for a borehole formation model. The method further includes determining, using the trained AI network, an AI fracture and an AI collapse mud weight from an observed borehole-formation model, and a search window surrounding each AI mud weight. The method further includes predicting a final fracture mud weight within the fracture search window using the first physics-based method and a final collapse mud weight within the collapse search window using the second physics-based method, and determining the mud-weight window bounded by the two final mud weights.

Abstract: A system for determining a direction for drilling a well is disclosed. The system has a device in a portion of a conveyance mechanism comprising a cylindrical housing with at least one sensor that tracks a position of the portion during a drilling operation, the device being configured to obtain a plurality of drilling parameters, and a control system coupled to the device and configured to perform at least one reservoir simulation, and prepare a plurality of required parameters while drilling. The device uses an optimization box to simulate increasing an angle between a drilling direction and a maximum horizontal stress by calculating a minimum mud pressure required to prevent borehole collapse. The control system generates an engineering curve representative of each angle simulated and a corresponding mud weight or pressure, and the device and the control system identify an optimal direction corresponding to a minimum drilling mud pressure parameter.
