A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11821272B2) discloses a method for detecting a mud motor stall during a drilling operation. The method involves using drilling sensors to obtain real-time drilling parameter data and stall detectors to perform stall detection operations. These operations include generating signatures of potential mud motor stalls, comparing them to stored signatures, and adjusting drilling parameters accordingly. The comparison is done using symbolic aggregate approximation analysis to determine distances between the signatures. The method also includes determining the severity of the mud motor stall based on various parameters and generating notifications or alarms in response to stall occurrences.

Furthermore, the patent describes a system and a computer-readable medium for detecting mud motor stalls during drilling operations. The system includes stall detectors with processors to receive real-time drilling parameter data and perform stall detection operations. Similarly, the computer-readable medium contains program code to cause processors to execute the method for detecting mud motor stalls. The method involves generating signatures, comparing them to stored signatures, and adjusting drilling parameters based on the comparison. Additionally, notifications or alarms can be generated based on the detection of potential mud motor stalls. Overall, the patent aims to improve the efficiency and safety of drilling operations by accurately detecting and responding to mud motor stalls in real-time.
