Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for analyzing and judging overflow or well leakage in oil drilling engineering, and in particular to an overflow and well leakage monitoring method that can effectively prevent false alarms. Background Art
[0002] During oil exploration, development and drilling, it is necessary to monitor the liquid level of the mud in the circulation tank at all times and in a timely manner. The change information of the liquid level of the mud in the circulation tank is the premise for analyzing and judging whether there is overflow or well leakage. At present, the commonly used overflow monitoring methods at home and abroad mainly install a float type liquid level gauge or an ultrasonic liquid level gauge on the mud circulation tank surface, and analyze and judge whether there is overflow by monitoring the change of the mud volume in the circulation tank. The disadvantage of these monitoring methods is frequent false alarms. The reason is that when the drilling pump starts, the liquid level of the mud in the circulation tank decreases, resulting in the monitoring system of the mud liquid level misjudging as well leakage; and when the drilling pump stops, the liquid level of the mud in the circulation tank increases, which in turn causes the monitoring system of the mud liquid level to misjudge as overflow. Such frequent false alarms are likely to produce an effect like "the boy who cried wolf", causing the drilling operators to become complacent and being unfavorable to ensuring the safe production operation of drilling. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides an overflow and well leakage monitoring method and system that can effectively prevent false alarms, which can monitor the increase and decrease of the total volume of the mud in the circulation tank in real time, and combine the difference between the change rate of the mud volume flowing into the circulation tank and the change rate of the mud volume flowing out of the circulation tank to judge the occurrence of overflow and well leakage, and can effectively avoid misjudgment caused by the liquid level fluctuation caused by starting and stopping the drilling pump, and improve the accuracy of overflow or well leakage alarm.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0005] An overflow and well leakage monitoring method that can prevent false alarms, the steps are as follows:
[0006] 1) Monitor in real time the volume of the mud in the circulation tank that returns from the wellbore to the return trough and flows into the tank;
[0007] Monitor in real time the volume of the mud in the circulation tank that flows out of the connection of the inlet pipeline of the drilling pump and the volume of the mud in the circulation tank of other circulation tanks participating in the mud circulation;
[0008] 2) Monitor in real time the change rates S1 and S2 of the volume of the mud in the mud inflow tank and the mud outflow tank;
[0009] Monitor in real time the increase and decrease amounts ΔV1 and ΔV2 of the volume of the mud in the mud inflow tank and the mud outflow tank, and calculate in real time the increase and decrease amount ΔV other of the volume of the mud in other circulation tanks participating in the mud circulation,
[0010] 3) Calculate the total volume increase or decrease ΔV of the circulation tank based on the obtained ΔV1, ΔV2, and ΔV others:
[0011] ΔV = ΔV1 + ΔV2 + ΔV others
[0012] 4) Calculate the difference between S2 and S1 in real time, and determine whether there is overflow or well leakage based on the magnitude of this difference and in combination with ΔV:
[0013] (1) If ΔV ≥ N and S2 - S1 ≥ n, it is determined that the drilling pump is at the start / stop moment, and no overflow or well leakage alarm is issued;
[0014] (2) If ΔV ≥ N and S2 - S1 < n, it is determined that the drilling pump is in the running or stationary state, and an overflow or well leakage alarm is issued;
[0015] 5) Calculate the difference between ΔV2 and ΔV1 in real time, and determine whether there is overflow or well leakage based on the magnitude of this difference and in combination with ΔV:
[0016] (1) If ΔV ≥ N and ΔV2 - ΔV1 ≥ m, it is determined that the drilling pump is at the start / stop moment, and no overflow or well leakage alarm is issued;
[0017] (2) If ΔV ≥ N and ΔV2 - ΔV1 < m, it is determined that the drilling pump is in the running or stationary state, and an overflow or well leakage alarm is issued; In the above formulas, N, m, and n are set judgment reference values.
[0018] In the overflow and well leakage monitoring method capable of preventing false alarms, in steps 1) and 2), let the volume of the mud in the circulation tank where the drilling mud flows from the wellbore to the return tank and then returns be V1; the volume of the mud in the circulation tank where the mud flows out of the mud outlet connecting the inlet pipeline of the drilling pump be V2; the volume of the mud in the other circulation tanks participating in the mud circulation be V others;

[0027] In the formula, V2t represents the mud volume flowing out of the circulation tank at a certain moment t; V2t-1 represents the mud volume flowing out of the circulation tank at the previous moment t-1 of a certain moment t; the unit of t is min or s;
[0028] (2.3) Calculate the increment and decrement ΔVother in real time based on the obtained Vother
[0029] ΔVother = Vothert - Vothert-1
[0030] In the formula, Vothert represents the mud volume of other circulation tanks at a certain moment t; Vothert-1 represents the mud volume of other circulation tanks at the previous moment t-1 of a certain moment t; the unit of t is min.
