Modified bourgoyne and young model using loss severity multiple regression by inclusion of cuttings transport ratio for drilling rate prediction / Arina Sauki

Drilling in carbonate rock is quite challenging due to the presence of a naturally fractured zone and a vug porosity system, both of which can cause lost circulation. These losses could make hole cleaning more problematic. The lack of a hole cleaning parameter in the Bourgoyne and Young (B&Y) mo...

These losses could make hole cleaning more problematic. The lack of a hole cleaning parameter in the Bourgoyne and Young (B&Y) model for drilling rate prediction, as well as multicollinearity in the regression process, causes the model to be inaccurate, especially when applied to carbonate rock drilling.

For model development, 80 drilling datasets from the North Kuwait field were used, and another 38 datasets were used for model verification.
