    Abstract: A method to design well trajectories includes determining dogleg severity as a function of inclination, and a corresponding rate of penetration performance of the tool by a hybrid model including physical modelling and machine learning correction. The method includes solving for optimal steering parameters to predict a dogleg severity as close as possible to a desired dogleg severity at a given inclination of the trajectory, which is repeated for dogleg severity and inclination combinations of interest. The rate of penetration for feasible points is also determined and a rate of penetration (or time-to-target) map can be produced. Potential trajectories are then evaluated relative to the map to estimate drilling time-to-target, and an optimal trajectory can be selected that has a lowest time-to-target while also being feasible for the tool and optionally avoiding risks or downhole obstacles.

    Abstract: A method for optimizing a drill bit for a drilling operation includes training a plurality of machine learning (ML) models with historical drilling data to obtain a corresponding plurality of trained ML models; obtaining drilling operation parameters for the drilling operation; generating drill bit parameters for each of a plurality of potential drill bit configurations; inputting the obtained drilling operation parameters and the generated drill bit parameters into the plurality of trained ML models to estimate a corresponding plurality of drill bit performance metrics; and selecting an optimum drill bit configuration from the set of potential drill bit configurations based on the estimated drill bit performance metrics obtained from plurality of trained ML models.
