The objective of the research is to provide a tool that can predict ROP in order to optimize bit selection . The specific goal of this study is a mean to predict ROP using Artificial Neural Networks ( ANN ) model . Lithology changes , drilling parameters data and bit data were the inputs of our model UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
