Stuckpipe Prediction Model to Detect and Notify Rig Crew Based on Drilling Parameters and Physical Models Outputs

Abstract

Abstract Effective stuckpipe prediction becomes more challenging and requires real-time advanced analysis of all available drilling data. This paper presents an innovative model to predict stuckpipe incidents. A machine-learning model based on intensive feature-engineering integrated with physical models has been developed. It automates real-time drilling data collection, analysis, and detects the patterns for the most dominating drilling parameters values to achieve the success criteria of early warning signs of stuckpipe incidents. It has been applied on two equal sets of wells either stuck or non-stuck incidents. The model triggers alarms reliably and early before the stuckpipe incidents happen and therefore corrective actions could be taken properly in advance.
