A method that may include obtaining well path data describing a first well path through one or more formations. The method may include obtaining first acquired drilling parameter data in real-time during a drilling operation for a predetermined well, wherein the drilling operation corresponds to the first well path. The method may include determining, by a computer processor, first predicted drilling data using a machine-learning model, the well path data, and the first acquired drilling parameter data, wherein the first predicted drilling data may include a predicted well path. The method may include determining whether the first predicted drilling data satisfies a predetermined criterion. The method may include determining, in response to determining that the first predicted drilling data fails to satisfy the predetermined criterion, an adjusted well path. The method may include transmitting a first command to update the drilling operation to implement the adjusted well path.

A method includes obtaining, with an edge computing device disposed in a bottom hole assembly of a drilling system, logging while drilling data. The method further includes determining, with the edge computing device, at least one interpreted quantity of a subsurface using one or more artificial intelligence (AI) models processing the logging while drilling (LWD) data. The method further includes determining, with the edge computing device, an optimal set of data transfer parameters for a telemetry system governed by a set of data transfer parameters, to telemeter the at least one interpreted quantity, where the set of data transfer parameters are continually updated to the optimal set of data transfer parameters while the logging while drilling data is being acquired. The method further includes transmitting, with the edge computing device, one or more guidance control parameters to a geosteering system based on the at least one interpreted quantity.

Methods and systems for logging while drilling and optimized telemetry using artifical intelligence

A method for improving natural hydrogen recovery through hydrogen fracturing includes obtaining field data from a hydrogen-containing formation and generating, by a computer processor and a series of models, a surface production rate, a compression value where the compression value is a pressure of pressurized hydrogen used to fracture the hydrogen-containing formation, a well path, a set of well separation distances, a fracture half-length where the fracture half-length is half of a total length of a fracture caused by a fracturing of the hydrogen-containing formation using pressurized hydrogen, and a well production rate. Using a well analysis, the fracture half-length, the well path, the well separation distances, and the well production rate are evaluated. Based on the surface production rate, the compression value, the fracture half-length, the well path, the well separation distances, the well production rate, and the field data, field operations are performed on the hydrogen-containing formation.

Method for improving unconventional hydrogen development

A sonde adapted for determining one or more parameters related to hydrogen at a subsurface location. The sonde includes: a plurality of centralizer arms forming an interior space having a proximal portion and a distal portion; and a plurality of fiber optic Raman probes each disposed at the proximal portion or the distal portion of the interior space and proximate a respective one of the plurality of centralizer arms, the plurality of fiber optic Raman probes being adapted to measure a hydrogen concentration in a downhole measurement. The sonde also includes a plurality of optical probes each disposed at another of the distal portion or the proximal portion of the interior space and proximate a same or different one of the plurality of centralizer arms, the plurality of optical probes being adapted to measure downhole local gas holdup.

Apparatus and method for in-situ monitoring of hydrogen levels at a subsurface location

A sensor node system for mapping hydraulic fractures may include a localization system that identifies location information of the sensor node device with respect to an area of interest in a rock formation. The location information may include various magnetization parameters indicative of various signal strengths surrounding the sensor node device. The sensor node device may include a transceiver that exchanges signals with a base station and at least one other sensor node device. The transceiver establishes a communication link between the base station and the sensor node device. The transceiver may monitor at least one other communication link between the at least one other sensor node device and the base station. The sensor node device may include a processor that identifies distance information based on the location information and a predetermined number of signals associated to the various signal strengths surrounding the sensor node device.
