HIGH SPEED DATA TRANSFER FOR MEASURING LITHOLOGY AND MONITORING DRILLING OPERATIONS

摘要

A system for determining at least one of a lithology of a formation traversed by a borehole and an operational condition of a component of a drill string disposed in the borehole, the system including: a sensor for performing downhole measurements of a drilling parameter, the sensor being disposed at least one of at and in the drill string; a high speed wired pipe telemetry system for transmitting the downhole measurements in real time, a processor coupled to the telemetry system for receiving the measurements, the processor disposed external to the drill string; and a computer processing system coupled to the processor, the computer processing system comprising a model that receives the downhole measurements and surface measurements of a drilling parameter as input, the model providing as output at least one of the lithology of the formation and the operational condition of the component.
