Abstract

The present disclosure provides a managed pressure drilling (MPD) system and methods for assessing and optimizing. For example, reliability models such as Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Ishikawa diagram, Pareto chart, Reliability Block Diagram (RBD) are used in assessing the system reliability. The MPD drilling system is suitable for offshore drilling operations.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to systems and methods for pressure controllable drilling systems, particularly for evaluating and optimizing systems to improve system reliability. Background technique [0002] In modern drilling practice, drilling fluid (or mud) is used as the primary well control medium. Two major well control issues are well kick and loss of drilling fluid (ie, drilling mud or mud). A well kick refers to an event in which a fluid (eg, oil, natural gas) is poured into a wellbore uncontrolled from a rock formation. In extreme cases, oil and gas exiting the wellbore into the open air (ie, flowing wells) can lead to catastrophic events such as fires and explosions. Filling the wellbore with drilling fluid creates a pressure gradient that is greater than the formation pressure gradient (also known as the pore pressure gradient), thereby trapping formation fluids in the formation during drilling. [0003] On the other hand, if the pressu...
