Kick Detection and Influx Size Estimation during Offshore Drilling Operations using Deep Learning
An uncontrolled or unobserved influx or kick during drilling has the potential to induce a well blowout, one of the most harmful incidences during drilling both in regards to economic and environmental cost. Since kicks during drilling are serious risks, it is important to improve kick and loss detection performance and capabilities and to develop automatic flux detection methodology. There are clear patterns during a influx incident. However, due to complex processes and sparse instrumentation it is difficult to predict the behaviour of kicks or losses based on sensor data combined with physical models alone. Emerging technologies within Deep Learning are however quite adapt at picking up …
Convolutional Regression Tsetlin Machine: An Interpretable Approach to Convolutional Regression
The Convolutional Tsetlin Machine (CTM), a variant of Tsetlin Machine (TM), represents patterns as straightforward AND-rules, to address the high computational complexity and the lack of interpretability of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). CTM has shown competitive performance on MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, and Kuzushiji-MNIST pattern classification benchmarks, both in terms of accuracy and memory footprint. In this paper, we propose the Convolutional Regression Tsetlin Machine (C-RTM) that extends the CTM to support continuous output problems in image analysis. C-RTM identifies patterns in images using the convolution operation as in the CTM and then maps the identified patterns into a real…
