Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In order to plan an optimum geothermal well drilling scheme, a proper identification of drilling parameters should be well known. Information of the parameters consists of weight on bit (WOB), true vertical depth (TVD), rate of penetration (ROP), foam flowrate (FF), and rotary speed (N). The valuable information can be provided by the drilled geothermal wells. Correlation of the drilling parameters is then obtained based on the information. The application of Artificial Neural (ANN) Network is needed since the relationships among the parameters are very complex and nonlinear. Moreover, the relationships are not easily known. In this paper, Artificial Neural Network was promoted to estimate penetration rate. Data were obtained from three wells at a field in South Sumatera, Indonesia. Three ANN models were generated. Each model includes different input parameters. Based on the comparison results, the ANN-3 model has the best level of accuracy with the average values of the parameters MAE, MARE, MSE, ARMSE, and the correlation coefficients are 0.8883, 9.54%, 1.1878, 1.0825, and 0.9938 respectively. ANN models can play a role in identifying parameters that affect the characteristics of penetration rate. Keywords—Drilling, WOB, Geothermal, ROP, ANN.
