Hybrid Machine-Learning Model for Accurate Prediction of Filtration Volume in Water-Based Drilling Fluids by Shadfar Davoodi, Mohammed Al-Rubaii, David A. Wood, Mohammed Al-Shargabi, Mohammad Mehrad, Valeriy S. Rukavishnikov

“…However, existing ML methods require time-consuming input variables, hindering the semi-real-time monitoring of the FV. Therefore, employing radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) and multilayer extreme learning machine (MELM) algorithms integrated with the growth optimizer (GO), predictive hybrid ML (HML) models are developed to reliably predict the FV using only two easy-to-measure input variables: drilling fluid density (FD) and Marsh funnel viscosity (MFV). …”
