Abstract

Drilling operations may be monitored to detect and quantify potential drilling dysfunctions. Using a Bayesian network, potential improvements to drilling operation may be made depending upon the type of dysfunction detected. Suggestions for improved drilling performance may comprise increasing, decreasing, or maintaining one or both of RPM and weight on bit. Suggestions may be presented to an operator as a cone having an apex at the current RPM and weight on bit drilling parameters, with suggestions for modifications to one or both of the RPM and weight on bit corresponding to a cone extending from that apex.
