IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF DRILLING WELLS BASED ON OPTIMIZATION OF MODES AND FORECASTING OF TECHNOLOGICAL INDICATORS

Abstract

The article examines modern approaches to improving technological solutions in well drilling aimed at increasing production efficiency, reducing operating and capital costs, and enhancing the rate of penetration under complex geological conditions. Special attention is paid to forecasting drilling run speed and the cost per meter of penetration based on mathematical modeling, regression analysis, and comprehensive evaluation of drilling regime parameters.
The methodology for selecting optimal drilling modes using empirical relationships that account for the effects of weight on bit, rotational speed of the drill string, type of rock-cutting tool, and drilling fluid properties is described. The potential application of software tools and digital platforms for real-time analysis of technological parameters and engineering decision support is also discussed.
The results demonstrate that the integration of digital technologies, automated drilling control systems, and optimization algorithms significantly improves drilling performance, reduces drilling time, minimizes the risk of accidents, and optimizes well construction costs, confirming the effectiveness of a comprehensive approach to drilling process management.
