With the introduction of AI and big data technologies, the oil and gas exploration field has realized a paradigm shift in the drilling process from being experience-driven to data-driven. At the same time, geology-engineering integration services also have shifted from "drilling wells successfully" to "drilling wells quickly". However, the integration technology still remains at the optimization and improvement phase of the working mode and operation process. During drilling in complex formations, there are still technical problems such as limited penetration rate, low trajectory control accuracy, and lagging response to downhole risks, which restrict the further development of this field. AI technology provides a new path to break through the bottlenecks: Through dynamic Mechanical Specific Energy (MSE) modeling and real-time optimization, accurate mapping from formation characteristics to engineering parameters is achieved. With this as the core, an intelligent drilling optimization system driven by the three cores of "data, decision and execution" has been built to achieve full-process closed-loop optimization. It has been successfully applied in the on-site drilling construction process, verifying that this system can improve penetration rate, reduce non-production time, and effectively control the deviation of the wellbore trajectory. This study provides theoretical support for the development of the intelligent drilling optimization system, reveals the transformation of digital technology to the traditional drilling optimization working mode, and provides replicable solution at the engineering level.
