Implication

Machine learning study demonstrates accurate rate of penetration prediction across deep geological formations, indicating potential to optimize drilling operations and lower operational costs.

Key Points

  • To evaluate and compare four ensemble machine learning algorithms for predicting drill bit rate of penetration using operational drilling and petrophysical formation parameters.
  • Evaluated four ensemble machine learning algorithms—Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, Extreme Gradient Boost, and Adaptive Boosting—using subsurface data from three development wells spanning 19 geological formations to a depth of approximately 3200 m.
  • Trained predictive models on 14 operational and petrophysical parameters, including weight on bit, rotary speed, standpipe pressure, and logging metrics, dividing the dataset into an 85% training set and a 15% testing set.
  • Quantified model accuracy using root mean square prediction error and correlation coefficients across the testing subset and individual well depths.
  • Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, and Extreme Gradient Boost models achieved high accuracy and strong correlation between measured and predicted drilling rates across testing subsets and depth profiles, whereas Adaptive Boosting performed poorly.
  • Cross-validation models trained on combined data from three development wells yielded superior predictive performance compared to models trained on single-well reference datasets.
