... Abstract Operators drilling a directional well may suffer the uncertainties from the downhole environment, the equipment, and the human decision-making process. We proposed a method to evaluate steering decisions of multiple reinforcement learning agents by calculating the estimated total...

... In the following section, the methodology and the reinforcement learning framework are introduced. Section 3 will present some experiments and results, then followed by the conclusion section. Method Domain Randomization As shown in Figure 1 , with a bent-motor BHA, the driller can...

..., is very large causing computational hurdles for real time implementation. This paper describes a time-efficient digital twinning approach that uses reinforcement learning (RL) to simulate scenarios corresponding to multiple hole cleaning actions. Digital twinning of cuttings transport in a wellbore...
