Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oilfield drilling engineering, and in particular to a real-time identification system and method for downhole working conditions of a drill bit, and related equipment. Background Art
[0002] During oil and gas exploration, it is discovered that more and more proven oil and gas resources are buried in deep formations. Deep and ultra-deep wells have become a trend in oil and gas development, and PDC drill bits have become the most widely used drill bits in deep well drilling. However, when using drill bits in deep and ultra-deep wells, due to the deep burial of oil and gas reservoirs, the working status of PDC drill bits in the wellbore is affected by various factors and difficult to identify. Frequent tripping and drilling limits the drilling efficiency of deep and ultra-deep wells, and increases the development cost of deep reservoirs.
[0003] To reduce drilling costs and improve reservoir development efficiency, drillers typically replace the cutters on worn drill bits after removal, repairing and reusing them, significantly reducing drill bit costs. However, this approach relies on timely and accurate decision-making for removal. Removing the drill bit too early limits the drill bit's footage, increasing the cost per trip, while removing it too late wears out the drill bit, rendering it useless for reuse. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The inventors of this invention have discovered that, currently, most drilling operators tend to determine the downhole operating conditions of PDC drill bits based on their own experience. However, this method is significantly influenced by the operator's subjective factors and experience level. A small number of operators also use mud logging parameters as a criterion for identifying the downhole operating conditions of PDC drill bits. However, this method has a single set of identification parameters and poor accuracy, which cannot meet on-site requirements. There is an urgent need for a systematic method that can accurately predict the downhole operating conditions of PDC drill bits in real time, improve the scientificity and accuracy of drilling decision-making, and further enhance the effectiveness of PDC drill bits in deep and ultra-deep well development.

Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0065] The embodiment of the present invention provides a real-time identification system for downhole working conditions of a drill bit, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes: a downhole vibration measurement sub 1, a downhole vibration measurement sub data collector 2, a data transmission device 3, an MWD logging while drilling tool 4 and a computing device 5; wherein:
[0066] The downhole vibration measurement sub 1, the downhole vibration measurement sub data collector 2, the data transmission device 3 and the computing device 5 are connected in sequence;
[0067] An MWD logging while drilling instrument 4 is used to collect downhole logging parameter data and transmit the logging parameter data to a computing device 5 on the surface;
[0068] Downhole vibration measurement sub 1, used to measure the three-axis vibration parameters of the drill bit downhole;
[0069] A downhole vibration measurement sub data collector 2 is used to collect the triaxial vibration parameters collected by the vibration measurement sub 1 and transmit them to the computing device 5 via the data transmission device 3;
[0070] The computing device 5 determines the real-time working condition information of the drill bit through the logging parameter data collected by the MWD logging while drilling instrument 4 and the three-axis vibration parameters of the drill bit collected by the downhole vibration measurement sub data collector 2.
[0071] The computing device 5 mentioned above can be, for example, any intelligent device with computing capabilities in the prior art, such as various processors, computers, etc.
[0072] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the real-time identification system for downhole drill bit working conditions also includes:
[0073] The client device 6 is used to connect to the computing device to display the real-time working status of the drill bit to provide reference suggestions for drilling construction.
[0074] Preferably, the data transmission device 3 may be, for example, an MWD pulse transmitter 7 .
[0075] By using the MWD pulse transmitter 7, the data collected underground can be transmitted to the surface through wireless pulse MWD without relying on data cables, so that the complex working conditions underground have less impact on data transmission.
[0076] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the real-time identification system for downhole working conditions of a drill bit further includes: a data connection device 8;
[0077] The data connection device 8 is connected to the data transmission device 3 and the computing device 5 respectively, and is used to process the triaxial vibration parameters transmitted by the data transmission device 3 and the logging parameter data collected by the MWD logging while drilling instrument respectively, and transmit the processed data to the computing device 5.
[0078] The MWD logging-while-drilling instrument collects data such as drilling pressure, torque, well depth, mechanical penetration rate, rotational speed, drilling fluid density, pump pressure, displacement, wellbore structure, and formation lithology. The data collected by the MWD logging-while-drilling instrument is transmitted via drilling fluid pressure pulses, converting the measured parameters into drilling fluid pressure pulses that are then transmitted to the surface as the drilling fluid circulates. The surface signal receiving device of the MWD logging-while-drilling instrument is connected to a data interface 8, which then transmits the data to a computing device 5. The data collection and transmission process of the MWD logging-while-drilling instrument is conventional and will not be described in detail here.
[0079] Furthermore, the data connection device 8 is configured to remove abnormal drilling process data from the logging parameter data; and to process the triaxial vibration parameters separately according to axial vibration parameters, tangential vibration parameters, and radial vibration parameters, and periodically transmit the processed data to the computing device at preset time intervals. For example, the data connection device transmits data at a frequency of 10 seconds.
[0080] The data connection device 8 can automatically suspend data transmission according to changes in drilling pressure and torque, making it easier for the operator to observe the construction status of the entire drilling process.
[0081] Furthermore, the above-mentioned computing device 5 is used to obtain the three-axis vibration parameters collected by the downhole vibration measurement pup data collector and the logging parameters collected by the downhole MWD logging while drilling instrument; and according to the logging parameters, respectively determine the cutting depth value, rock-breaking specific energy, and friction coefficient, and calculate the change ratio of the cutting depth value, rock-breaking specific energy, and friction coefficient between the current measurement cycle and the previous measurement cycle; and calculate the change ratio of the axial vibration parameter, tangential vibration parameter, and radial vibration parameter in the three-axis vibration parameters between the current measurement cycle and the previous measurement cycle; according to the determined change ratio of the cutting depth value, rock-breaking specific energy, and friction coefficient between the current measurement cycle and the previous measurement cycle, and the change ratio of the axial vibration parameter, tangential vibration parameter, and radial vibration parameter between the current measurement cycle and the previous measurement cycle, determine the real-time working condition information of the drill bit.
[0082] Reference Figure 2 As shown in the structural diagram of the PDC drill bit, the downhole vibration measurement sub 1 is installed above the PDC drill bit 9 and below the MWD logging while drilling instrument 4. The position layout close to the PDC drill bit 9 ensures that the downhole vibration measurement sub 1 can accurately collect drill bit vibration parameters in real time during drilling.
[0083] The downhole vibration measurement sub 1 contains at least three triaxial acceleration sensors 11, two of which are longitudinally arranged on the inner wall of the downhole vibration measurement sub, and one triaxial acceleration sensor is arranged transversely on the bottom of the inner wall of the vibration measurement sub;
[0084] The measuring sub data collector includes at least three triaxial acceleration sensors and a circuit for supplying power and transmitting signals to the triaxial acceleration sensors;
[0085] Preferably, the three-axis acceleration sensor has an operating range of ±200g and an accuracy of 80mg.
[0086] The triaxial acceleration sensor 11 is connected to the downhole vibration sub data collector 2 to transmit the triaxial vibration parameters of the drill bit in real time;
[0087] The downhole vibration sub data collector 2 is connected to the MWD pulse transmitter 7, and the collected drill bit triaxial vibration data is transmitted to the surface in real time through the MWD pulse transmitter 7.
[0088] Based on the above-mentioned real-time identification system for downhole working condition of a drill bit, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for identifying downhole working condition of a drill bit, which is applicable to a computing device, referring to Figure 3 As shown, the process of the method includes:
[0089] S31, periodically acquiring triaxial vibration parameters collected by a downhole vibration measurement sub data collector and logging parameters collected by a downhole MWD logging while drilling instrument;
[0090] S32. Determine the cutting depth value, rock-breaking specific energy, and friction coefficient based on the logging parameters, and calculate the change ratio of the cutting depth value, rock-breaking specific energy, and friction coefficient between the current measurement cycle and the previous measurement cycle; and calculate the change ratio of the axial vibration parameter, the tangential vibration parameter, and the radial vibration parameter, among the three-axis vibration parameters, between the current measurement cycle and the previous measurement cycle;
[0091] S33. Determine the real-time operating condition information of the drill bit based on the calculated cutting depth value, rock-breaking specific energy, and the ratio of change of the friction coefficient between the current measurement cycle and the previous measurement cycle, as well as the ratio of change of the axial vibration parameter, tangential vibration parameter, and radial vibration parameter between the current measurement cycle and the previous measurement cycle.
[0092] In each measurement cycle, the cutting depth (DOC), rock breaking energy (M SE ) and the friction coefficient (μ) are calculated by the following steps:
[0093] 1) Cutting depth is a parameter that measures the depth of the formation cut by the drill bit per revolution. Its calculation method is:
[0094]
[0095] In formula 1: DOC represents the cutting depth of the drill bit; ROP is the mechanical drilling speed; n is the rotational speed;
[0096] Accordingly, the method for calculating the change ratio of the cutting depth value between the current measurement cycle and the previous measurement cycle is as follows: calculate the difference ΔDOC between the cutting depth of the current measurement cycle and the cutting depth of the previous measurement cycle; calculate As the ratio of change between the current measurement period and the previous measurement period;
[0097] 2) Rock breaking specific energy (M SE ) represents the mechanical specific energy required to crush a unit volume of rock. Usually, when the drill bit is severely worn or packed with mud, the rock-breaking specific energy will increase significantly because its cutting teeth cannot effectively bite into the crushed rock. Its calculation method is:
[0098]
[0099] In formula 2: M SE is the mechanical specific energy; WOB is the weight on bit; T is the torque; ROP is the mechanical penetration rate; d B is the drill bit diameter;
[0100] Accordingly, the method for calculating the change ratio of the rock breaking energy in the current measurement cycle and the previous measurement cycle is as follows: Calculate the difference ΔM between the cutting depth in the current measurement cycle and the rock breaking energy in the previous measurement cycle SE ;calculate As the ratio of change between the current measurement period and the previous measurement period;
[0101] 3) The drill bit friction coefficient (μ) represents the relationship between bit pressure and torque. Generally, as bit pressure increases, torque also increases. However, the torque increases at different levels of wear. The more severe the drill bit wear, the smaller the torque increase. The friction coefficient μ is calculated as follows:
[0102]
[0103] In formula 3: WOB is weight on bit; T is torque; d B is the drill bit diameter;
[0104] Calculate the difference Δμ between the cutting depth of the current measurement cycle and the rock breaking specific energy in the previous measurement cycle; As the ratio of change between the current measurement period and the previous measurement period.
[0105] The calculation equipment calculates the axial vibration parameters, tangential vibration parameters, and radial vibration parameters. The vibration parameters are determined based on the amplitude of the vibration acceleration change. Generally, when the drill bit is severely worn, the vibration amplitude will be significantly reduced. In other words, the change ratio is relatively large.
[0106] Reference Figure 4 The flowchart shown in the figure shows how the calculation device calculates the rock breaking energy (M) by cutting depth (DOC) and rock breaking energy (M SE ), the friction coefficient (μ) change ratio and other parameters can be used to identify the working status of the PDC drill bit in real time.
[0107] Reference Figure 4 As shown, when the following conditions are met: μ≤0.3; axial vibration acceleration, tangential vibration acceleration and radial vibration acceleration all show a decreasing trend, and , it is determined that the drill bit is in a preset severe wear state.
[0108] In the prior art, drill bit wear levels are divided into levels 1-8. During actual drilling, if the wear level exceeds level 3, drilling will become difficult. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the wear level of the above-mentioned severe wear state is level 3-8 (excluding level 3).
[0109] When the following conditions are met: μ≤0.5; the axial vibration acceleration, tangential vibration acceleration and radial vibration acceleration in each measurement cycle show a trend of increasing first and then decreasing, and when the trend is decreasing It is determined that the drill bit is in a preset normal wear state.
[0110] In the embodiment of the present invention, the normal wear state refers to a wear level of 1-3 (including level 3).
[0111] When the following conditions are met: It shows a decreasing trend, and μ≤0.3; the lithologic profile is shale or water-sensitive formation; the axial vibration acceleration, tangential vibration acceleration, and radial vibration acceleration all show a decreasing trend within each measurement cycle, with the tangential vibration acceleration decreasing the most. When g(y)>g(x), increase the drill bit displacement to 110% to 120% of the original displacement;
[0112] Determine whether μ increases, DOC increases, and M SE If the downward movement does not occur, it is judged that the drill bit is in a mud balling state.
[0113] Bit balling refers to the formation of mud on the drill bit surface, which can occur during both drilling and tripping. Bit balling reduces the penetration of the PDC drill teeth into the formation, resulting in reduced penetration and a slower drilling speed. In severe cases, the balling can block the drill bit and the water hole, causing increased pump pressure and even loss of drilling speed. If it occurs during tripping, it can cause annular blockage.
[0114] If it is judged that there is no increase in μ, DOC and M SE If the drilling speed drops, the drill bit continues to drill and continues the steps of periodically collecting and calculating the triaxial vibration parameters and logging parameter data.
[0115] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a device for identifying the downhole working condition of a drill bit. Since the principles of the problems solved by these devices are similar to the aforementioned method for identifying the downhole working condition of a drill bit, the implementation of the device can refer to the implementation of the aforementioned method, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.
[0116] An embodiment of the present invention provides a device for identifying downhole working conditions of a drill bit, referring to Figure 5 As shown, including:
[0117] The parameter acquisition module 51 is used to periodically acquire the triaxial vibration parameters collected by the downhole vibration measurement sub data collector and the logging parameters collected by the downhole MWD logging while drilling instrument;
[0118] The ratio calculation module 52 is used to determine the cutting depth value, rock breaking specific energy, and friction coefficient based on the logging parameters, and calculate the change ratio of the cutting depth value, rock breaking specific energy, and friction coefficient between the current measurement cycle and the previous measurement cycle; and calculate the change ratio of the axial vibration parameter, tangential vibration parameter, and radial vibration parameter in the three-axis vibration parameters between the current measurement cycle and the previous measurement cycle;
[0119] The working condition identification module 53 is used to determine the real-time working condition information of the drill bit based on the calculated cutting depth value, rock breaking specific energy, and the change ratio of the friction coefficient between the current measurement cycle and the previous measurement cycle, as well as the change ratio of the axial vibration parameter, tangential vibration parameter, and radial vibration parameter between the current measurement cycle and the previous measurement cycle.
