Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent detection technology for oil drilling equipment, and in particular to a method and device for detecting drill bit wear and predicting remaining life. Background Technology

[0002] This section is intended to provide background or context for embodiments of the present invention. The description herein is not intended to imply that it is prior art simply because it is included in this section.

[0003] In the field of intelligent detection technology for oil drilling equipment, in order to achieve real-time detection of drill bit wear, health status classification and remaining life prediction, existing technologies typically employ manual visual inspection, traditional image processing technology and convolutional neural networks.

[0004] However, the aforementioned existing technologies suffer from one or more of the following drawbacks in practical applications: First, insufficient detection accuracy. Manual visual inspection relies on standard calipers, resulting in a measurement error of up to 23.6% for wear on the nose of PDC (Polycrystalline Diamond Compact) drill bits. Traditional image processing techniques, limited by two-dimensional imaging, cannot quantify the volume loss rate of diamond composites. Second, poor real-time performance. Detection systems require disassembling the drill bit for laboratory testing, with a single test taking over 8 hours; alternatively, fixed industrial cameras can only trigger a scan every 2 meters of drilling. Furthermore, the existing models have weak generalization capabilities. Convolutional neural network (CNN) schemes require training with over 5000 labeled samples, necessitating re-labeling for new drill bit types. Moreover, existing AI models have a false alarm rate of 37.2% for interference from mud adhesion and metal reflection. Finally, a lack of predictive ability. Traditional mean squared error (MSE) (mechanical specific energy) models can only reflect macroscopic wear trends and cannot predict sudden tooth breakage; digital twin system updates are delayed by more than 24 hours, leading to a mismatch between the simulation and the physical drill bit condition.

[0005] Therefore, improving the detection accuracy, real-time performance, model generalization, and life prediction capabilities of drill bit wear is a technical challenge currently faced by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0012] The timing alignment module is used to perform timing alignment of drill bit multimodal data using a dynamic time warping algorithm.

The intelligent analysis center includes a visual prediction model, a pre-established dynamic rating algorithm, and a digital twin simulation model. The visual prediction model is a large-scale visual model combining the CLIP model and the SAM model. The visual prediction model is used to segment the wear area of ​​the target drill bit and generate wear area segmentation results. The dynamic rating algorithm is used to classify the wear area segmentation results and generate classification results. The digital twin simulation model is a multi-scale simulation system driven by digital twin simulation technology using wear area segmentation results, classification results, real-time point cloud data of the target drill bit, and real-time sensor data.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies for drill bit wear detection and remaining life prediction, this invention acquires multimodal data of the drill bit. This multimodal data includes point cloud data of the target drill bit, sensor data, and historical life data of similar drill bits. The historical life data of similar drill bits refers to the historical life data of drill bits of the same type as the target drill bit. A dynamic time warping algorithm is used to perform time-series alignment on the multimodal data. The time-series aligned multimodal data is then input into an intelligent analysis center, which outputs the remaining life prediction result of the target drill bit. The intelligent analysis center includes a visual prediction model and a pre-established dynamic evaluation system. The system includes a multi-scale algorithm and a digital twin simulation model; a visual prediction model that combines the CLIP and SAM models; a visual prediction model used to segment the wear area of ​​the target drill bit and generate wear area segmentation results; a dynamic rating algorithm used to classify the wear area segmentation results and generate classification results; and a digital twin simulation model that is a multi-scale simulation system driven by digital twin simulation technology using wear area segmentation results, classification results, real-time point cloud data of the target drill bit, and real-time sensor data, which can improve the detection accuracy, real-time performance, model generalization, and life prediction capabilities of drill bit wear.

Furthermore, the specific features, structures, or characteristics described can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. The order of steps involved in the various embodiments is used to illustrate the implementation of this application, and the order of steps is not limited and can be adjusted appropriately as needed.

[0025] Due to the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as insufficient detection accuracy, poor real-time performance, weak model generalization, and lack of predictive ability, a well in a certain year failed to detect a microcrack (0.15mm deep) on the nose of a φ215.9mm PDC drill bit in a timely manner, resulting in the collapse of three cutting teeth during drilling and a direct economic loss of 4.5 million yuan.

[0026] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention aims to provide a drill bit lifecycle management method that integrates high-precision 3D visual scanning, multi-physics dynamic sensing, zero-shot transfer learning, and digital twin simulation. It is applicable to real-time monitoring of drill bit wear, health status grading, and remaining life prediction under complex operating conditions such as onshore drilling, offshore platforms, and ultra-deep wells.

[0027] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a drill bit wear detection and remaining life prediction method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method may include:

[0028] Step 101: Obtain drill bit multimodal data; drill bit multimodal data includes point cloud data of the target drill bit, sensor data, and historical life data of drill bits of the same type; historical life data of drill bits of the same type refers to the historical life data of drill bits of the same type as the target drill bit.

[0029] Step 102: Perform time-series alignment of drill bit multimodal data using a dynamic time warping algorithm;

[0030] Step 103: Input the time-aligned multimodal data of the drill bit into the intelligent analysis center and output the remaining life prediction result of the target drill bit. The intelligent analysis center includes a visual prediction model, a pre-established dynamic rating algorithm, and a digital twin simulation model. The visual prediction model is a large-scale visual model combining the CLIP model and the SAM model. The visual prediction model is used to segment the wear area of ​​the target drill bit and generate wear area segmentation results. The dynamic rating algorithm is used to classify the wear area segmentation results and generate classification results. The digital twin simulation model is a multi-scale simulation system driven by digital twin simulation technology using wear area segmentation results, classification results, real-time point cloud data of the target drill bit, and real-time sensor data.

[0031] The embodiments of the present invention can improve the efficiency and quality of work scenario configuration through the above steps, avoid resource waste, meet users' personalized needs, and improve user experience.

[0032] In one embodiment, in step 101, drill bit multimodal data is acquired. The drill bit multimodal data may include downhole data, point cloud data of the target drill bit, sensor data, and historical lifespan data of similar drill bits. Point cloud data of the drill bit surface is acquired using a high-precision 3D scanner employing blue light structured light scanning technology, with a resolution of 2048×2048, a scanning frame rate ≥120fps, a point cloud density ≥200 points / mm², and an accuracy ≤5μm. The 3D scanner includes high-temperature resistant optical components: a sapphire protective window (transmittance >92%@500nm) + an active cooling system (temperature control accuracy ±0.5℃).

[0033] In one embodiment, the sensor data includes torque data acquired by a mechanical sensor and acoustic emission signals acquired by an acoustic emission array. The mechanical sensor can be a six-axis force sensor with a measurement range of 0-50 kN·m for torque and 0-200 kN for axial force. The acoustic emission array has a frequency range of 10 kHz to 1 MHz and a sensitivity of -65 dB.

[0034] Step 101 provides a wealth of multi-dimensional drill bit data, offering a reliable foundation for subsequent analysis and prediction.

[0035] In one embodiment, after acquiring the drill bit multimodal data, the method may further include: denoising the point cloud data of the target drill bit using a moving least squares (MLS) filtering algorithm improved by an adaptive parameter adjustment mechanism and a weighting function; and registering the denoised point cloud data of the target drill bit using an NDT point cloud registration algorithm based on path planning.

[0036] In this embodiment, the improved moving least squares filtering algorithm mainly enhances the accuracy and efficiency of point cloud denoising by introducing an adaptive parameter adjustment mechanism and optimizing the weighting function. This improvement effectively overcomes the shortcomings of the standard MLS algorithm in terms of noise sensitivity and detail loss in drill bit point cloud data, thereby improving the reliability of subsequent registration and analysis.

[0037] In one embodiment, after acquiring the drill bit multimodal data, the method may further include: synchronously acquiring the time-frequency characteristics of torque, axial force, and acoustic emission signals.

[0038] In one embodiment, step 102, which involves temporally aligning the drill bit multimodal data using a dynamic time warping algorithm, may include: aligning sensor data, historical lifespan data of similar drill bits, and point cloud data of the registered target drill bit using the dynamic time warping algorithm. The dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithm can be used to align the drill bit multimodal data. This step eliminates temporal deviations caused by different sampling frequencies or transmission delays, improving data availability.

[0039] First, an improved moving least squares filtering algorithm is used to denoise the point cloud data of the target drill bit to reduce the impact of noise on subsequent analysis. Then, the denoised point cloud data is registered using a path planning-based NDT point cloud registration algorithm to ensure data consistency and accuracy. These denoising and registration processes significantly improve the quality of the point cloud data, thereby enhancing the accuracy and reliability of subsequent analysis. Finally, the Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) algorithm is used to perform time-series alignment of the registered point cloud data, sensor data (such as torque data and acoustic emission signals), and historical lifespan data of similar drill bits, eliminating time-series biases from multiple data sources.

[0040] In one embodiment, in step 103, the time-aligned drill bit multimodal data is input into the intelligent analysis center, and the remaining life prediction result of the target drill bit is output.

[0041] The intelligent analysis center includes a visual prediction model, a pre-established dynamic rating algorithm, and a digital twin simulation model. The input-output relationship among the three is as follows: the output of the visual prediction model (wear area segmentation) is directly used as the input of the dynamic rating algorithm; the output of the dynamic rating algorithm (grading results) is used as one of the inputs of the digital twin simulation model, combined with other data (such as sensor data) to drive simulation and prediction.

[0042] First, we introduce the visual prediction model, which is a large visual model combining the CLIP model and the SAM model, used to segment the wear area of ​​the target drill bit.

[0043] In one embodiment, the CLIP model extracts visual features from point cloud data using a first image encoder and semantically annotates these visual features using preset text prompts; the SAM model performs zero-sample segmentation using the visual features extracted by the CLIP model using a second image encoder and outputs the wear area of ​​the target drill bit through the SAM model's decoder; the first and second image encoders share weights; the visual prediction model fine-tunes its parameters using LoRA fine-tuning technology, drill bit multimodal data, and user-input prompts; the visual prediction model is trained using drill bit multimodal data and the preset text prompts during fine-tuning.

[0044] In one embodiment, the visual prediction model is based on a combination of the CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pre-trained) model and the SAM (Segment All Model). The CLIP model extracts visual features from point cloud data through an image encoder and guides semantic attention with textual prompts (such as 'wear area'). The SAM model uses the features extracted by CLIP to perform zero-shot segmentation and generate accurate wear area masks. The combination method is as follows: the CLIP image encoder and the SAM image encoder share weights, global and local features are integrated through a feature fusion module (such as an attention mechanism), and finally the segmentation result is output through the SAM decoder.

[0045] In one embodiment, the visual prediction model is a zero-shot transfer learning model, segmenting the wear region, with the number of parameters fine-tuned being less than 0.5%. The visual prediction model utilizes LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) fine-tuning technology, drill bit multimodal data, and user-input prompts to fine-tune the model parameters. Only a portion of the intermediate layer parameters (less than 0.5%) are updated. Fine-tuning is performed using drill bit multimodal data and user-input prompts to adapt to the specific characteristics of drill bit wear. This step allows for rapid adaptation to the characteristics of different drill bit types, improving the model's generalization ability and prediction accuracy.

[0046] In one embodiment, the dynamic rating algorithm may include: determining the volume loss of the cutting teeth at each location in the wear region based on the point cloud data of the target drill bit; determining the energy integral of the acoustic emission signal at each location in the wear region in a preset frequency band based on the acoustic emission signal; determining the rate of change of the torque fluctuation coefficient at each location in the wear region based on torque data; determining the grading result of each location in the wear region based on the volume loss of the cutting teeth, the energy integral, the rate of change of the torque fluctuation coefficient, and the dynamic weighting coefficient; and adaptively adjusting the dynamic weighting coefficient according to the cumulative working time of the target drill bit.

[0047] In this embodiment, the dynamic rating algorithm specifically includes:

[0048] ;

[0049] Among them, V loss E represents the volume loss of the cutting teeth. AE ΔTWF is the energy integral of the acoustic emission signal in the preset frequency band; V0 is the initial volume of the cutting teeth of the target drill bit type in a brand new state; E0 is the initial reference value of the energy integral of the acoustic emission signal measured in the preset frequency band of the target drill bit type in a brand new state; α(t) is the dynamic weighting coefficient of the volume loss of the cutting teeth; β(t) is the dynamic weighting coefficient of the energy integral; γ(t) is the dynamic weighting coefficient of the rate of change of the torque fluctuation coefficient; and t is the cumulative working time of the target drill bit.

[0050] In this embodiment, the dynamic weighting coefficient is adaptively adjusted according to the following formula:

[0051] ;

[0052] ;

[0053] ;

[0054] Where α(t) is the dynamic weighting coefficient of the volume loss of the cutting teeth; β(t) is the dynamic weighting coefficient of the energy integral; γ(t) is the dynamic weighting coefficient of the rate of change of the torque fluctuation coefficient; and t is the cumulative working time of the target drill bit.

[0055] By dynamically adjusting the weighting coefficients, we can better adapt to drill bit wear under different working conditions, thereby improving the accuracy and robustness of predictions.

[0056] The dynamic rating algorithm dynamically fuses multimodal data to generate a health score, with weighting coefficients adaptively adjusted according to drill bit lifespan. The digital twin simulation model is a multi-scale simulation system driven by real-time point cloud data and sensor data of the target drill bit. Based on the digital twin simulation, it predicts remaining lifespan with a lead time of ≥4 hours. Through the dynamic rating algorithm, a comprehensive and detailed assessment of drill bit wear can be performed, providing a scientific basis for subsequent decision-making.

[0057] By integrating and driving wear zone segmentation results from a visual prediction model, grading results (quantitative scoring) generated by a dynamic rating algorithm, and real-time point cloud and sensor data of the target drill bit, a virtual simulation system synchronously mapped and dynamically interacting with the physical drill bit—a digital twin simulation model—was constructed. This model is essentially a multi-scale simulation system capable of high-fidelity simulation of the drill bit's wear process and mechanical behavior at different scales, from molecular dynamics and discrete element method to finite element method. Through this model, accurate and forward-looking predictions of the drill bit's remaining lifespan are achieved. Its ultimate goal is to transform traditional offline, delayed diagnostics into online, real-time, and early warning-enabled intelligent insights, thereby significantly improving the safety, economy, and decision-making efficiency of drilling operations and solving the core problem of mismatch between simulation and physical systems.

[0058] The visual prediction model utilizes a large-scale visual model combining the CLIP and SAM models to accurately segment the wear areas of the drill bit. A dynamic rating algorithm classifies the wear areas based on various features, while a digital twin simulation model uses real-time data for multi-scale simulation, ultimately outputting a prediction of the remaining life of the target drill bit. This process enables accurate prediction of drill bit life, providing crucial decision support for drilling operations.

[0059] The embodiments of the present invention also provide a visualization interface that displays a three-dimensional wear heat map and uses red, yellow and green to indicate the degree of drill bit wear.

[0060] In one embodiment, the drill bit wear detection and remaining life prediction method may further include: outputting maintenance recommendations based on the remaining life prediction results of the target drill bit and a decision tree generated from historical drill bit maintenance cases. By combining the decision tree with over 3000 historical maintenance cases, more scientific and reasonable maintenance recommendations can be generated, helping operators take timely measures to avoid economic losses caused by drill bit failures. This step can improve the safety and economy of drilling operations.

[0061] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a drill bit wear detection and remaining life prediction system provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the system includes: a data acquisition layer, an edge computing layer, an intelligent analysis layer, and a decision output layer.

[0062] In this embodiment, the data acquisition layer includes downhole data acquisition, a 3D scanner, a force sensor, and an acoustic emission probe. The 3D scanner uses a blue light structured light scanner to acquire point cloud data with an accuracy of 5μm and a resolution of 2048×2048. The blue light structured light scanner uses high-temperature resistant optical components: a sapphire protective window (transmittance >92%@500nm) + an active cooling system (temperature control accuracy ±0.5℃). The force sensor is a six-axis force sensor that measures torque or vibration data, with a range of: torque 0-50kN·m, axial force 0-200kN. The acoustic emission probe outputs a high-frequency signal with a frequency range of 10kHz-1MHz and a sensitivity of -65dB.

[0063] In this embodiment, the edge computing layer is implemented using an edge computing hardware platform, and the key algorithms are: point cloud denoising: an improved moving least squares (MLS) filtering algorithm; and time alignment: multi-source data synchronization based on dynamic time warping (DTW).

[0064] In this embodiment, the intelligent analysis center in the intelligent analysis layer includes a large visual model, a dynamic rating algorithm, and an anomaly detection engine. The large visual model has the following infrastructure: SAM + CLIP visual language model. The large visual model achieves zero-sample adaptation by using LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) fine-tuning technology, updating only 0.3% of the parameters.

[0065] In this embodiment, the Python pseudocode for fine-tuning the visual prediction model can be as follows:

[0066] class CustomSAM(nn.Module):

[0067] def __init__(self):

[0068] super().__init__()

[0069] self.sam = sam_model_registry["vit_h"]()

[0070] self.lora_adapter = LoRA(rank=64, layer_ids=[4, 8, 12]) # Fine-tune only the intermediate layers

[0071] def forward(self, x):

[0072] features = self.sam.image_encoder(x)

[0073] adapted_features = self.lora_adapter(features)

[0074] return adapted_features

[0075] In this embodiment, the dynamic rating algorithm can be the following hybrid rating formula:

[0076] ;

[0077] Among them, V loss The volume loss of the cutting teeth is calculated through point cloud reconstruction; E AE ΔTWF represents the energy integral of the acoustic emission signal in the 15-25kHz frequency band; ΔTWF represents the rate of change of the torque fluctuation coefficient. 0.6 is the initial dynamic weighting coefficient for the volume loss of the cutting teeth, which is subsequently dynamically adjusted according to the calculation formula of α(t) above with the cumulative working time of the target drill bit; 0.3 is the initial dynamic weighting coefficient for the energy integral, which is subsequently dynamically adjusted according to the calculation formula of β(t) above with the cumulative working time of the target drill bit; 0.1 is the initial dynamic weighting coefficient for the rate of change of the torque fluctuation coefficient, which is subsequently dynamically adjusted according to the calculation formula of γ(t) above with the cumulative working time of the target drill bit.

[0078] In this embodiment, the anomaly detection engine can perform wear anomaly detection.
