It has been developed and we proposed to implement an expert system that acts as a permanent technical assistant that contains a knowledge base, a bank of solutions and a history of failures, which allows to solve the failures that occur in the sludge pumps, when the machinery, that form the drilling equipment, is working. We estimated that the system can reduce the downtime, caused by failure, using the advantages offered by this branch of artificial intelligence that simulates the process of learning, memorization, reasoning, communication and action to solve problems; binary trees being the main data structure that was implemented. We estimate that the training time, for the handling of the expert system, is near to eight hours for personnel related to sludge pumps. In particular, the solution of a fault such as the loss of communication with the J box, the expert system would be solved in approximately 60min, while in the traditional way it could take up to four hours, depending on the availability of the specialist in charge of the drilling area. Therefore, the saving in solution time, restart and, therefore, economic resources is highly significant.
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.
