About OptiDrill
A Real time advisory system for geothermal drilling
OptiDrill is a three year long (January 2021-December 2023) project funded by the European Commissions' Climate, Infrastructure and Environmental Executive Agency (CINEA) under the Horizon 2020 programme. The OptiDrill consortium is formed by 11 partner organisations including highly experienced drillers, drilling project managers, engineers and operators, each having a different, yet complementary set of expertise in differing geological conditions, operating parameters and production end-goals.
Objectives
The overall objective is to develop a drilling advisory system utilising novel sensor and machine learning methods to predict ROP, lithology, drilling problems, well completion and enhancement and finally to unite those methods under one system to enable drilling process optimisation and intelligent decision making.
