drilling fluid

Traditionally, the drilling industry has relied on high-fidelity thermal simulators to predict downhole temperature for different operational scenarios. Though accurate, these models are too slow for real-time applications. To overcome this limitation, a deep-learning solution is proposed that enables fast, accurate prediction of downhole temperatures under a wide ran…
