    摘要: A method for optimizing drilling performance of a drilling operation is discloses. The method includes determining, while advancing a drill bit during the drilling operation based on drilling parameters specified by a user, a rate of penetration (ROP), acquiring, using sensors disposed throughout a rig of a well, sensor measurement data related to circulation of drilling fluid, generating, using a drilling hydraulics model based on at least the sensor measurement data of the circulation of drilling fluid, modeled rig and bit hydraulics data, displaying, on a driller console of the rig, the modeled rig and bit hydraulics data as a real-time drilling hydraulics profile, in response to a user viewing the displayed real-time drilling hydraulics profile, receiving an adjustment to the drilling parameters from the user, and further performing the drilling operation based on the adjustment to optimize the ROP.

    摘要: Systems and methods for instructing a device within a wellbore of a subterranean well includes a drill string with an actuator assembly extending into the subterranean. The actuator assembly has a first pipe member with a segment formed of a first material. A second pipe member is coaxially aligned with the first pipe member. A plurality of bearings are positioned between the first pipe member and the second pipe member. Each of the plurality of bearings includes a second material. The first material is reactive to the second material. Certain of the plurality of bearings are changeable bearings that include a dissolvable material. The actuator assembly is operable to instruct an operation of the device by generating an instruction signal by rotating the first pipe member relative to the second pipe member and interpreting a pattern of a reaction of the segment as a bearing rotates past the segment.
