Problems solved by technology

From the context of string construction as a dynamic activity, situations can easily arise that define how the string will be operated because, for example, another type of drill bit than the one assumed in the control program is installed in the drill string Instructions are inconsistent with the control parameters defined by component suppliers for individual components in the string

Embodiment Construction

[0025] In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a drilling rig, in which a derrick 12 protrudes from a drilling platform 11 . Drilling rig 1 is equipped with various drilling operation equipment, here is shown the means for rotating the pipe string 2, typically the rotary table 132 and the drilling machine 131 (which also represents the Axially displaced equipment), a circulation system 133 for drilling fluid, etc., and manipulators or robots 134, 134' for manipulating tubular components, etc. in association with operations on the drilling platform 11.

[0026] A tubular string 2 extends through the rotary table of the drilling platform 11 and down into a borehole (not shown), the tubular string 2 being made up of various tubular string components, shown here with reference numerals 21, 21a, 21b, 21c, 21d, 21e and 21f. A string part 21 g waiting to be connected to the string 2 is also shown at a position directly above the string 2 . Another column part 21 n is placed in...

Abstract

A system for configuring control instructions for a tool assembly formed as a pipe string (2) arranged at least partially to be inserted into a borehole is described, in which pipe string components (21, 21n) are provided with unique, machine- readable identification carriers (211, 211a, 211b, 211n) which are recognizable to a control system (42) via one or more readers (422, 422', 422"), the control system (42) being linked to a database (41) containing a component-data set (411) for each pipe string component (21, 21n), and the control system (42) being arranged to include the corresponding component-data set (411) in a control-instruction set (421) after a pipe string component (21, 21n) has been recorded by a reader (422, 422', 422"), in order thereby to generate control instructions for associated drilling- operation equipment (131, 132, 133, 134, 134') in accordance with the relevant com¬ position of the pipe string (2) at any time. A method of configuring control instructions for a tool assembly formed as a pipe string (2) arranged at least partially to be inserted into a borehole is described as well.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system and method for constructing control commands for a tool assembly formed as a tubular string arranged for insertion into a borehole, wherein the tubular string components are provided with a unique machine-readable identification carrier capable of being read by a controller via One or more readers to identify. Background technique [0002] When tool strings are used in drilling etc., e.g. for hydrocarbon exploration and production, it is necessary to have complete knowledge of which components are present in the tool string, and where important components are located in the borehole, such as which type of drill string is equipped with the drill bit, and how deep the drill bit has moved in the borehole, to ensure correct operation of the tool, such as stopping the drill string before the bit hits the end of the hole, and said drill head is set to rotate at a high speed rotate. In order to know where the drill ...
