Real-time prediction of the rate of penetration via computational intelligence: a comparative study on complex lithology in Southwest Iran by Mohammad Najafi, Yousef Shiri

“…Abstract The rate of penetration (ROP) is a critical parameter for optimizing oil well drilling and the overall cost of drilling operations. In this study, five methodologies, including three artificial intelligence models (artificial neural networks [ANNs], support vector regression [SVR], random forest [RF]), a physical model, and a hybrid model, were evaluated for their ability to estimate the ROP on the basis of drilling data from a complex lithological area. …”
