On-line drilling processes monitoring is an essential task in enhancing their performances. In oilfield industry, dysfunctions that might occur have to be detected at the earliest possible stage in order to preserve drilling efficiency. This paper deals with a methodology for drilling processes monitoring by identifying time varying parameters. The basic idea behind the proposed algorithm is to improve the tracking ability of parameters change by means of an identification method using a new approach to adjust the forgetting factor. The effectiveness of the developed method is highlighted through experimental data obtained from tests campaign.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
