Bit Bounce Detection for Drilling Process Based on Multi-Feature Graph and Graph Convolutional Network

Prompt detection of bit bounce can prevent serious incidents and is of great importance for safe and efficient deep geological drilling. In the early stage of bit bounce, signal changes are relatively weak. In addition, there are differences in the topological relationships of samples at different time instances in normal state and bit bounce. These factors present a challenge to timely and accurate bit bounce detection. Therefore, this paper proposes a bit bounce detection method based on multi-feature graph and graph convolution networks. A multi-feature graph construction method using process variables, mean value, Mahalanobis distance, and Euclidean distance is proposed, and a two-layer graph convolutional network is designed to realize deep feature extraction and incident detection. The effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method are demonstrated by a real drilling industrial case.
