Drilling automation
Leading drilling consultant John de Wardt separates hype from reality and explores what’s ahead in this interview with JPT.
This paper tests several commercial large language models for information-retrieval tasks for drilling data using zero-shot, in-context learning.
In this paper, bottomhole-assembly lateral behavior is analyzed using different types of computations, including static, dynamic, frequency-based, and time-based.
