A Novel Rate of Penetration Prediction Model Integrating Log-Derived Geomechanical Properties and Physically Motivated Energy Parameters for Heterogeneous Formations

Accurate rate of penetration (ROP) prediction in heterogeneous formations remains a key challenge for drilling optimization, as existing empirical models rely on fixed-structure coefficients unable to adapt to rapid lithological transitions. This study presents a novel exponential-form ROP model integrating surface dri...
