Abstract:It is very difficult to simulate the motion process of drill by accurate mathematics model for the complexity and invisibility of stratum. The fault of drill is usually identified and disposed by personal experience so far. This means it can not estimate the trend of the equipment running good or not and the reason conduced the fault or location and degree of fault by data measured. Farther, it can not give the expert suggestions. Based on the studying of drill fault, artificial intelligence and expert system have been used in the petroleum drilling engineering, the theory and method of fault diagnosis intelligence system for drill have been studied. It also constitutes the expert knowledge database of graphic Fuzzy Neural Network for the familiar fault of drill. The intelligence reasoning machine which consists of expert rule, Fuzzy logic and artificial Neural Network have been bring forward. And the fault diagnosis system it makes for drill can be applied in complex system which includes multi-variable, multi-parameter and multi-process.
