Drilling
This case study from ARC Resources and DarkVision outlines the use of acoustic imaging tools in two active fracturing programs in Canada to monitor well casing deformation.
This case study from Tomax outlines the use of artificial intelligence to analyze high-fidelity data of the full drilling process.
Adequate consideration must be given to the potential effect of each fluid on the successive phase operations to ensure integrated well-fluids system management.

This paper describes a machine-learning approach to accurately flag abnormal pressure losses and identify their root causes. -
Our drilling process is punctuated with discontinuous events that can disrupt the operational flow of the perfect well. Three papers have been selected to provide insights into some of these nonstationary processes that cause bit runs to fall short of perfection.
