Drilling fluids are essential for safe and efficient oil and gas well construction, performing critical functions such as cuttings transport, pressure control, borehole stabilization, and bit lubrication. Traditional manual testing according to API standards provides only intermittent data, often leading to delayed responses and increased risks of kicks, lost circulation, stuck pipe, or formation damage – especially in complex unconventional, deepwater, and high-pressure/high-temperature wells.

The optimization of technological processes is vital for advancing scientific and technical progress in exploration activities, particularly in drilling operations. The integration of operating microprocessor equipment and automated management systems has opened up new opportunities for theoretical research in optimization processes and drillings. Control systems for drilling exploration wells on solid minerals enable real-time operation and data collection, processing, and diagnosis of equipment functionality. Op...
