Keywords : Drilling, Soft-sensors, Advisory control
Virgil Dynamics builds soft-sensors - software algorithms to estimate measurements without hardware sensors - for drilling applications. These soft-sensors rely on advanced digital twins run by hybrid physics and machine learning techniques. This technology allows for continuous monitoring and advisory control for the drilling operation reducing the non-productive and invisible loss times (NPT/ ILT). Our soft-sensors rely only on the measurements at the rig surface level, reducing the dependence on downhole tools and thus the costs.
