H&P’s ROP Optimizer is designed to automatically find the ideal rotary drilling ROP while respecting operational constraints and minimizing the risk of dysfunctions. It makes predictions based on data collected from offset wells that are as close as possible to the current well conditions, and then presents ROP recommendations to drillers. Actual drilling data from the well, collected via WITSML or directly from the rig, is used to fine-tune the model. Source: IADC/SPE 230787. (Click the image to enlarge.)
