An expert system has been developed to give the driller indications on formation changes by using downhole or surface measurements. In a "user friendly" environment the expert system includes a preprocessor to combine parameters and a 0+ inference engine. Results are displayed with standardized pattern and comments to describe the formation. The many tests performed with this expert system show that the rule base used to describe knowledge stays constant for an oil field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
