Description & Scope
The goal of this project is to develop metrics to evaluate the steering performance of downhole drilling tools. Drilling data acquired from the field need to be systematically processed and analysed for this purpose. Performance indicators for steering will be formulated and calculated using this data. Available jobs in the database will be then scored according to the derived metrices to identify problematics runs.
Deliverables
- Develop a workflow to access field data from operations
- Develop algorithms to process and visualize field data
- Formulate steering performance metrics
- Identify problematic runs using the scores
- Studying a Masters in Data Science, Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline
- Python / matlab
- Accessing/processing/analysing time series data
- Basic understanding on structural mechanics
