This article presents a novel Artificial Intelligence (AI) workflow to enhance drilling performance by mitigating the adverse impact of drill-string vibrations on drilling efficiency. The study employs three supervised machine learning (ML) algorithm... Read More about Enhancing the drilling efficiency through the application of machine learning and optimization algorithm..

Automated well-log pattern alignment and depth-matching techniques: an empirical review and recommendations. (2023)
Journal Article
EZENKWU, C.P., GUNTORO, J., STARKEY, A., VAZIRI, V. and ADDARIO, M. 2023. Automated well-log pattern alignment and depth-matching techniques: an empirical review and recommendations. Petrophysics [online], 64(1), pages 115-129. Available from: https://doi.org/10.30632/PJV64N1-2023a9

Well logging has been an integral part of decision making at different stages (drilling, completion, production, abandonment) of a well's history. However, the traditional human-reliant approach to well-log interpretation, which has been the most com...

An unsupervised autonomous learning framework for goal-directed behaviours in dynamic contexts. (2022)
Journal Article
EZENKWU, C.P. and STARKEY, A. 2022. An unsupervised autonomous learning framework for goal-directed behaviours in dynamic contexts. Advances in computational intelligence [online], 2(3), article number 26. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1007/s43674-022-00037-9

Due to their dependence on a task-specific reward function, reinforcement learning agents are ineffective at responding to a dynamic goal or environment. This paper seeks to overcome this limitation of traditional reinforcement learning through a tas...
