6 ferences that are inaccessible for measurements. The use of the known methods based on deterministic models does not make it possible to monitor and control the process of oil and gas well drilling effectively enough to prevent complications. Some signs of complications coincide with the signs of other situations-changes in the boundaries of rocks layers, wear of equipment and chisels, shattering and collapse of rocks in a well, etc. The methods of the classical theory of control most often turn out to be ineffective for controlling such objects, because they are based mainly on the assumption of the object's linearity. At the same time, as practice shows, the current control of identification of complications and of the drilling process is effectively performed by an experienced operator-driller. He uses his experience and professional skills in the form of fuzzy rules. That is why in order to make a decision using technical means of monitoring and control, it is advisable to use the methods of the theory of fuzzy sets and Fuzzy Logic. In this regard, it is appropriate and relevant to develop the specialized architecture of an intelligent system, which makes it possible to effectively support decision making by a driller when controlling the process of oil and gas well drilling under complicated conditions.
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.
