Summary: | Systems and methods are provided for an underbalanced drilling (UBD) expert system that provides underbalanced drilling recommendations, such as best practices. The UBD expert system may include one or more Bayesian decision network (BDN) model that receive inputs and output recommendations based on Bayesian probability determinations. The BDN models may include: a general UBD BDN model, a flow UBD BDN model, a gaseated (i.e., aerated) UBD BDN model, a foam UBD BDN model, a gas (e.g., air or other gases) UBD BDN model, a mud cap UBD BDN model, an underbalanced liner drilling (UBLD) BDN model, an underbalanced coil tube (UBCT) BDN model, and a snubbing and stripping BDN model. |
