In the past several decades, machine learning has gained increasing interest in the oil and
gas industry. This paper presents a comprehensive review of machine learning studies for …

Increasing the global demand for natural resources directs the oil industries to explore in
geologically challenging structures and offshore reserves. Oil industries are always …

Kick is a downhole phenomenon which can lead to blowout, and so early detection is
important. In addition to early detection, the need to prevent false alarm is also useful in …

Well construction is a complex multi-step process that requires decision-making at every
step. These decisions, currently made by humans, are inadvertently influenced by past …

Due to the recent increase in drilling operations complexity, the frequency of undesirable
downhole events occurring while drilling a well is in ascend trend leading to substantial …

Since carbonate reservoirs develop pores and fractures and have a complex formation
pressure system, overflow and even blowout seriously threaten the exploration and …

In order to detect kick events accurately, multiple drilling parameters including both
dominant and auxiliary ones are often employed in existing kick detection models. In …

Influx detection and well control are critical situations where the traditional human reaction
has been the accepted standard for years. This paper discusses the results of the driller …

In real-world drilling operations, rapid and precise detection of early signs of kicks and
losses is crucial for safe and cost-effective procedures. Failure to promptly monitor and …

Well construction is a highly technical, inherently unpredictable, and non-holonomic multi-
step process with vast state and action spaces, that requires complex decision-making and …
