    Abstract: A method and system to drill a wellbore and identify drill bit failure by deconvoluting sensor data. The method comprises drilling the wellbore using a drill bit; and measuring data indicative of a parameter associated with the drill bit using a sensor located in the wellbore. The method also comprises decomposing the data to generate an intrinsic mode function of the drill bit data; and analyzing the intrinsic mode function to identify a drill bit failure. The system for drilling the wellbore comprises a drill bit; a sensor; and a processor. The sensor is located in the wellbore and operable to measure data indicative of a parameter associated with the drill bit. The processor is in communication with the sensor and operable to decompose the data to generate an intrinsic mode function of the drill bit data; and analyze the intrinsic mode function to identify a drill bit failure.

    Abstract: Estimating casing wear during a reciprocation portion of a drilling operation may take into account the forces that cause casing wear during the up and down strokes independently. For example, during a drilling operation, a method may include reciprocating the drill string through the wellbore for a plurality of up strokes and a plurality of down strokes according to reciprocation parameters; calculating an up stroke normal force and a down stroke normal force for the casing or a section thereof; calculating up and down stroke casing wears based on the up and down stroke normal forces, respectively, using a reciprocation casing wear model; calculating a reciprocation casing wear based on the up and down stroke casing wears; and calculating a total casing wear for the casing or the section thereof based on the reciprocation casing wear using a total casing wear model.

    Abstract: A system for real-time steering of a drill bit includes a drilling arrangement and a computing device in communication with the drilling arrangement. The system iteratively, or repeatedly, receives new data associated the wellbore. At each iteration, a model, for example an engineering model, is applied to the new data to produce an objective function defining the selected drilling parameter. The objective function is modified at each iteration to provide an updated value for the selected drilling parameter and an updated value for at least one controllable parameter. In one example, the function is modified using Bayesian optimization The system iteratively steers the drill bit to obtain the updated value for the selected drilling parameter by applying the updated value for at least one controllable parameter over the period of time that the wellbore is being formed.
