This book presents data driven approaches to improve drilling performance in geothermal, coiled tubing, and conventional operations. It begins with transformer models for forecasting rate of penetration in geothermal wells, followed by methods for predicting both penetration and downhole shock in coiled tubing drilling. A variational autoencoder framework is introduced for diagnosing resistivity tool anomalies to support reliable geosteering. Subsequent chapters examine the use of deep aut...

Seismic imaging is a key component of subsurface exploration, and it depends on a high-quality seismic data acquisition system with effective seismic processing algorithms. Seismic data quality concerns various factors such as acquisition design, environmental constraints, sampling resolution, and noises. The focus of this book is to investigate efficient seismic data representation and signal enhancement solutions by leveraging the powerful feature engineering capability of deep learning....

This book explains the theory, numerical modeling, and applications of a borehole electromagnetic telemetry system used for wireless communication between the downhole tool and the surface control center during oilfield drilling.The authors begin by introducing borehole electromagnetic telemetry and explaining each part of the system with schematics and illustrations. They describe the working principle and compare it with other borehole wireless communication methods, such as mud ...
