Abstract:
A method of optimizing a drilling tool assembly including inputting well data into an optimization system, the optimization system having an experience data set and an artificial neural network. The method further including comparing the well data to the experience data set and developing an initial drilling tool assembly based on the comparing the well data to the experience data, wherein the drilling tool assembly is developed using the artificial neural network. Additionally, the method including simulating the initial drilling tool assembly in the optimization system and creating result data in the optimization system based on the simulating.
Abstract:
A method of optimizing a drilling operating parameter or a drilling system parameter for a drilling assembly employing at least first and second distinct cutting structures includes entering at least one design parameter for each of the cutting structures into a trained artificial neural network. At least one of the design parameters of the first cutting structure may be optionally combined with at least one of the design parameters of the second cutting structure. The combined design parameter may also be entered into the artificial neural network.

Abstract:
A method for aggregating data that includes obtaining a log object including a log element, wherein the log element includes oilfield data obtained from a provider, obtaining an aggregation policy for the log element, and aggregating the log element into an aggregated object based on the aggregation policy is disclosed.
Abstract:
A method for optimizing drilling parameters includes obtaining previously acquired data, querying a remote data store for current well data, determining optimized drilling parameters, and returning optimized parameters for a next segment to the remote data store. Determining optimized drilling parameters may include correlating the current well data to the previously acquired data, predicting drilling conditions for the next segment, and optimizing drilling parameters for the next segment.
Abstract:
A drill bit, comprising a bit body, a sensor disposed in the bit body, a single journal removably mounted to the bit body, and a roller cone rotatably mounted to the single journal.
Abstract:
A cutter element for a drill bit has a non-rectilinear crest. The cutter element has a base portion and an extending portion and the extending portion has either a zero draft or a negative draft with respect to the base portion. The non-positive draft allows more of the borehole bottom to be scraped using fewer cutter elements. The cutter elements having non-positive draft can be either tungsten carbide inserts or steel teeth.

Abstract:
A cutter element for a drill bit. The cutter element has a non-rectilinear crest. The non-rectilinear or curvilinear crest provides an advantageous distribution of the cutting forces across the body of the cutter elements and thus improves bit life. The curvilinear crest also allows the cutter element to more efficiently lift the portion of the formation that is being cut, thereby improving cutting action in certain formations. The cutter elements can have either positive or non-positive draft and can be tungsten carbide inserts.
Abstract:
A method for providing assistance to a drilling site including receiving, by a remote system, an assistance request from a quick-link communication device, wherein the quick-link communication device is located at the drilling location. The method also including obtaining sensor data from the rig based on the assistance request, analyzing, by the remote system, the sensor data to identify a condition of the rig, and providing assistance to the drilling site for the condition of the rig.
