Abstract
A method for a well includes obtaining a dynamic input parameter combination for the well, determining measurements for a rotating control device using a sensor, and predicting a rotating control device wear estimate using rotating control device estimation methods, the measurements, and the dynamic input parameter combination. The method for a well further includes maximizing an instantaneous rate of penetration, while reducing rotating control device failure, to determine an optimized average rate of penetration using the rotating control device wear estimate. Finally, the optimized average rate of penetration is executed for a well.
