Coal Geology & Exploration

The rheology of drilling fluid, which characterizes its flow and deformation, is vital for transporting and suspending rock cuttings as well as for enhancing the drilling rate. Precise control of drilling fluid rheological parameters is essential to ensure borehole cleanliness and efficient drilling. This paper proposes an intelligent identification method for drilling fluid rheological parameters based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). The method employs magnetic stirring to generate stable images of drilling fluid flow, uses various data augmentation methods to increase the number of images and create a database, thereby enhancing the model’s robustness and generalization capabilities. The AlexNet CNN …

Coal Geology & Exploration

In recent years, the research on the automatic performance testing technology for drilling fluids has achieved significant progress both domestically and internationally. However, automatic drilling fluid testing instruments face challenges, such as high costs, complicated structures, and restricted working environments. Given these challenges, this study developed an automatic online testing instrument for the funnel viscosity and density of drilling fluids. The testing instrument consists of mud pumping, testing, cleaning, and control modules, which are built using a programmable logic controller (PLC), an Internet of things (IoT) module, a pressure sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a peristaltic mud pump, an electric ball …
