How We Deploy Machine Learning to Rapidly Reduce DTH Drilling Rig Times

Drilling is now easier and faster with the help of new and exciting technology, thanks to Hongwuhuan. Ever heard of Dieboche de licking? It’s when you dig a hole really deep into the ground to find grave-winning materials, like oil and water, which is an important and priceless resource for everyone. 

Drilling can be lengthy and expensive. It can be frustrating when the big machines we use to drill do not work very well. It also can slow our work down.” But with Hongwuhuan’s new technology, we can drill faster and we do a better job overall. 

Using Computers to Aid Our Drilling 

One of the great things we do is we take something known as machine learning that helps us with drilling. Machine learning is a fancy way of saying the use of computers to learn and solve problems on their own with minimal human assistance. We can train these computers to learn how to help us drill faster, and with more fidelity, by teaching them how to do their job better.

“What we do is when we have a drilling project, we can use machine learning to look at the different ways to drill. The computer can study past projects and recommend methods to use. For saving time and for convenience while drilling, this helps us. 

Making Smart Choices with AI 

Another awesome way we reduce the drilling time is by using AI optimization. AI is short for artificial intelligence. That means we use computers to make intelligent decisions and do things much more efficiently than humans. AI has the ability to analyze large amounts of data in a very short time span. 

Now, with AI optimization, we can say to computers, find me the best way to drill a hole. We ask what we want to accomplish, and they show us how to do it the easiest way. That makes drilling more efficient — less time and money. For instance, say we are required to put a hole in a particular location; AI can assist us in determining the quickest path to take or the optimal method to implement. 

Data-Driven: Keeping Everything on Course 

Thus, it is of utmost importance to check everything while we drill and verify that it all is working properly. Machines may break down; we may run out of supplies. That can slow us down and make drilling take significantly longer than we would like it to.” 

This is where data-driven insights come in! That means during drilling we obtain information about what is happening and leverage that information to improve the decision-making. For instance, we can gather data while drilling to predict when a machine may fail, and so we can repair it before it breaks down, to prevent utter failure. This ensures that we do not have delays, and we do not; we are able to keep our drilling projects on schedule. 

Two paramount questions of exploration are: Where should it drill? And how? 

It doesn’t just mean drilling when we need to make sure we are drilling in the right place. Now picking where to dig is of utmost importance, and we need to know where to drill and how deeply to go. When we drill in the right place, it saves us plenty of time and energy. 

We use a technique known as intelligent analytics to support this. “This means we apply computers to analyze data and identify the best locations to drill.” We can place digs by looking at information about the ground (such as how hard it is and whether there are certain types of rocks present). This will allow us to drill faster and with greater accuracy which is really important in our profession.
