Data transmission technologies for the development of a drilling rig control and diagnostic system

Abstract

This article examines telecommunication technologies used in automatic control and diagnostics systems and discusses key aspects of using telecommunication solutions for monitoring and controlling the operation processes of the electrical complex of a drilling rig, including remote access, data transmission and real-time information analysis. It provides a comprehensive overview of such communication technologies as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, ZigBee, global system for mobile communication (GSM), RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, universal serial bus (USB), Ethernet, narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT), long range wide area network (LoRaWAN), and power line communication (PLC). Technologies that will be most effective for use in control and diagnostics systems of a drilling rig complex are proposed. The possibility of using machine learning to process a large amount of data obtained during the drilling process to optimize the controlled drilling parameters is investigated.
