Abstract

A system for drilling a wellbore is disclosed. The injection pump releases the taggant into the mud stream traveling downhole. The taggant attaches to the rock cuttings and it is detected on the surface by the taggant detector. The taggant detector provides the data relating to the taggants detected in the drilling fluid. The data is analyzed by taggant analysis and control engine, which produces an injection profile. Based on the injection profile, the IoT Controller adapts the parameters of the taggant injection pump to achieve a real-time optimization of the taggant injection.
