In the case-based reasoning in drilling fluid design expert system, it selects the corresponding representation method of attributes and matching algorithm according to the characteristics of drilling fluid system and the formulation. The representation methods of attributes in this article include digital, string and range these three methods, therefore, the corresponding matching algorithms also have nearest-neighbor, string matching and range matching these three algorithms. On this basis, and combined with the single parent genetic algorithm to optimize the initial weights combination, we can get the most optimal and realistic drilling fluid system and formula. This design method can greatly improve the efficiency and accuracy of the drilling fluid formula design.

In this article we discuss the process of design used to develop and design the NASA Blast exhibition at Thanksgiving Point, a museum complex in Lehi, Utah. This was a class project for the Advanced Instructional Design Class at Brigham Young University. In an attempt to create a new discourse (Krippendorff, 2006) for Thanksgiving Point visitors and staff members, the design class used a very fluid design approach by utilizing brainstorming, researching, class member personas, and prototyping to create ideas for the new exhibition. Because of the nature of the experience, the design class developed their own techniques to enhance the process of their design. The result of the design was a compelling narrative that brought all the elements of the exhibition together in a cohesive piece.

Slimhole drilling is becoming an attractive option as it provides significant cost savings in the petroleum industry. Furthermore, many of the technical obstacles in adapting slimhole drilling for the petroleum industry have been addressed, such as rig modifications, small volume kick detection, drilling fluid design, etc. However, wellbore stability in slimholes is largely taken for granted, when it could potentially increase costs dramatically. In this paper, a review of the available information on the effects of hole size on hole stability is presented. Wellbore stability in holes of different diameters is discussed qualitatively based on published laboratory data and unpublished field data. The quantitative assessment of wellbore instability in slimholes is addressed using observations of instability in a well in which the far field stresses were measured.The field data presented here suggest that slimhole wells are not more stable than conventional wells. The slimhole drilled in NSW shows that even using the most conservative prediction model, wellbore instability would not be predicted—instability was however, observed.
