Description
Summary:The application of artificial intelligence (AI) has become inevitable in the petroleum industry. In drilling and completion engineering, AI is regarded as a transformative technology that can lower costs and significantly improve drilling efficiency (DE). In recent years, numerous studies have focused on intelligent algorithms and their application. Advanced technologies, such as digital twins and physics-guided neural networks, are expected to play roles in drilling and completion engineering. However, many challenges remain to be addressed, such as the automatic processing of multi-source and multi-scale data. Additionally, in intelligent drilling and completion, methods for the fusion of data-driven and physics-based models, few-sample learning, uncertainty modeling, and the interpretability and transferability of intelligent algorithms are research frontiers. Based on intelligent application scenarios, this study comprehensively reviews the research status of intelligent drilling and completion and discusses key research areas in the future. This study aims to enhance the berthing of AI techniques in drilling and completion engineering.
