Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of safety technology for drilling and production equipment in the petroleum industry, and more specifically, to a land-based blowout preventer gate operation status acquisition device, black box, and monitoring method. Background Technology

[0002] With rapid global economic development, the ever-increasing demand for oil and gas poses significant challenges to the energy industry. The number of deep and ultra-deep wells under complex geological conditions is increasing, leading to more complex environments and escalating risks and challenges during drilling and production. This necessitates more effective and safer measures to ensure the smooth progress of drilling and production operations and the safety of drilling and production personnel. In drilling operations, in the event of emergencies such as overflows, kicks, or blowouts, operators should immediately issue a shut-in order, and the blowout preventer (BOP) should be activated quickly. Failure of the BOP at this time will result in a blowout, causing equipment damage and personnel casualties. Blowouts are the most dangerous safety accidents in drilling and completion projects. For example, on December 23, 2003, in Gaoqiao Town, Kaixian County, Chongqing, Sichuan Province, a blowout occurred at the Luojia 16 well during drilling operations, causing a large amount of toxic hydrogen sulfide gas to leak from the bottom of the well, poisoning nearby villagers and generating a huge negative social impact.

[0003] Blowout preventers (BOPs) are a critical component of well control equipment, playing a vital safety role in controlling wellhead pressure and shutting off the wellhead. In emergencies requiring drill pipe shearing to close the wellhead, the critical operational status of the shear gate and the full-seal gate is crucial. However, currently, the position of the gate shaft can only be observed by personnel approaching the BOP through the inspection port, posing a significant safety risk. After an accident at the drilling wellhead, the destruction caused by combustion and explosion, and the significant pollution of the site, make it difficult to quickly conduct an on-site investigation, lacking relevant data and hindering accurate analysis of the accident's cause. Having relevant parameters of the on-site facilities and equipment before and after the accident would help personnel conduct a more timely and effective accident investigation, pinpoint the cause, formulate rescue plans, and minimize potential losses. Therefore, this paper proposes developing and utilizing a BOP black box to monitor and collect relevant data, storing real-time status parameters such as oil pressure and flow rate during the BOP's operation. After an accident occurs, reading and analyzing the data in the black box can reconstruct the state of the well control equipment before and after the accident, deduce the accident process, help to quickly investigate and analyze the cause of the accident, formulate reasonable disaster relief and rescue strategies, and at the same time have important guiding significance for the improvement of related technologies.

[0004] In China, the control devices for blowout preventers (BOPs) only have basic status monitoring, and there are no effective monitoring methods for the BOPs themselves. Most problems are only detected manually after an anomaly or malfunction occurs. There is an urgent need to combine digital and sensor technologies with manual maintenance to monitor multiple parameters online, thereby improving the operational safety of high-voltage equipment.

[0005] The existing black box technology for blowout preventer safety monitoring still has the following drawbacks:

[0006] 1. Some designs use position sensors to detect the gate's operating status, but due to the limitations of the blowout preventer's structure, this method cannot accurately detect the gate's closed position, and there is no data during the gate's operation.

[0068] This exemplary embodiment provides a land-based blowout preventer gate operation status acquisition device.

Figure 6 A schematic diagram showing the monitoring position of the gate's operation status for the blowout preventer is provided below. Figures 1-3 as well as Figure 6 The acquisition device in this exemplary embodiment will be described below.

[0070] The land-based blowout preventer gate operation status acquisition device A may include a first housing A1000, a processing unit A2000, and a sensing unit A5000.

[0071] The first housing A1000 can be installed on the gate shaft housing and has a functional hole A1910. The functional hole A1910 is directly opposite the gate shaft observation window C1100 provided on the gate shaft housing C1000.

[0072] The sensing unit A5000 includes a video acquisition sensor A5100, which is located inside the first housing A1000. The video acquisition sensor A5100 can monitor the operation status of the gate through the functional hole A1910 and the gate shaft observation window C1100.

[0073] The processing unit A2000 is electrically connected to the sensing unit A5000 and can analyze and process the information (such as video signals) collected by the sensing unit A5000.

[0074] In this embodiment, the first housing A1000 may include a partition A1100. The partition A1100 can be fixedly connected to the middle of the first housing A1000 by screws, dividing the first housing A1000 into an upper chamber A1200 and a lower chamber A1300.

[0075] In this embodiment, the first housing A1000 may further include an upper cover plate A1600, a front cover plate A1700, a rear cover plate A1800, and a bottom plate A1900. A front operating hole A1400 and a rear operating hole A1500 may be provided on another set of opposite sidewalls of the first housing A1000.

[0076] The front cover plate A1700 is detachably mounted on the front operating hole A1400 by screws, and the rear cover plate A1800 is detachably mounted on the rear operating hole A1500 by screws.

[0077] A front cover sealing ring is provided at the connection between the front cover plate A1700 and the front operating hole A1400.

[0078] A rear cover sealing ring is provided at the connection between the rear cover plate A1800 and the rear operating hole A1500.

[0079] The base plate A1900 is located at the lower end of the first housing A1000 and can be fixedly connected by screws. The base plate A1900 is provided with a base plate sealing ring at the connection point with the first housing A1000.

[0080] The upper cover plate A1600 can be installed on the upper end of the first housing A1000 by screws. An upper cover plate sealing ring is installed at the connection between the upper cover plate A1600 and the first housing A1000.

[0081] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the first housing A1000 also includes a first explosion-proof plug A8000, which is installed on the side wall of the first housing A1000. It can supply power to the land blowout preventer gate operation status acquisition device A by connecting to an external power source.

[0082] In this embodiment, the processing unit A2000 can be disposed in the upper chamber A1200. The processing unit A2000 can be mounted on the partition A1100 and located in the upper chamber A1200 by screws.

[0083] Furthermore, a heat dissipation window A1610 may be provided in the middle of the upper cover plate A1600. The processing unit A2000 includes heat dissipation fins A2100, which can extend from the heat dissipation window A1610 and be located outside the first housing A1000, so that the processing unit A2000 can achieve good heat dissipation.

[0084] In this embodiment, the processing unit can use image processing algorithms to process the information collected by the sensing unit.

[0085] The image processing algorithm may include binarization methods, the specific details of which are as follows:

[0086] In this invention, the binarization method of image processing algorithms is used, that is, in the gate displacement detection method, the displacement of the target object set on the gate is used to characterize the displacement of the gate. For this purpose, the target object needs to be extracted in order to measure its physical quantities, such as area, perimeter, center point coordinates, etc. However, in a gate image, in addition to the pre-set target object, there is also background and noise. To extract the target object from a gate image with very rich scene information, the most common method is to first convert the gate image into a grayscale image. A grayscale image has 256 brightness levels. A threshold T is set, and the value of T is between 0 and 255. This threshold T is used to divide the image information into two parts: one part is the set of pixels greater than or equal to T, and the other part is the set of pixels less than T. This is the most special way to study grayscale transformation, called image binarization. The transformation method described above is also called the thresholding transformation method. The specific transformation function is shown in formula (1).

[0087]

[0088] The brightness values ​​of pixels in a grayscale image are divided into two parts according to the value of T: 0 and 255. After this transformation, the image contains only black and white colors. Although the color information of the image is reduced, as long as the value of T is properly determined, clear overall and local features of the image can still be obtained in the resulting binarized image.

[0089] If the grayscale value of a specific object (such as the target object in this experiment) in a grayscale image is relatively uniform, and its grayscale value is not at the same level as the background of the grayscale image, that is, the grayscale value of the target object differs significantly from that of the background, then thresholding binarization can achieve good results. The threshold is usually determined by the characteristics of the target object; different target objects correspond to different thresholds, so there is no fixed method for selecting the threshold, and similarly, the thresholding binarization method is also uncertain.

[0090] The main binarization method is thresholding binarization, which includes the following three types:

[0091] ① Global Threshold Binarization. This method uses a single threshold T to binarize the entire image. The threshold T is determined by the image's grayscale histogram. Then, the grayscale value of each pixel is compared with T. Pixels with grayscale values ​​less than T are set to 0 and assigned to the background color, while pixels with grayscale values ​​greater than T are set to 255 and assigned to the foreground color.

[0092] ② Local thresholding binarization method. This method first divides the image into several small sub-regions, performs global thresholding on each sub-region, and then merges the binarized sub-regions to form the entire binarized image.

[0093] ③ Dynamic thresholding binarization. If the grayscale values ​​of background pixels vary greatly, or if the lighting is uneven, different thresholds need to be automatically determined based on the pixel's coordinate position; this is called dynamic thresholding.

[0094] As one implementation method, the present invention can employ any of the three methods described above.

[0095] As another implementation, the present invention can mainly adopt the local threshold binarization method and use the global threshold binarization method as an auxiliary method. Specifically, the edge region of the gate shaft C2000 adopts the local threshold binarization method to divide the image into several small sub-regions, and the global threshold binarization method is adopted in each small sub-region. Finally, they are merged to form the whole binarized image. In addition, the part outside the edge region of the gate shaft C2000 directly adopts the global threshold binarization method.

[0096] In this embodiment, the sensing unit A5000 may include a video acquisition sensor A5100.

[0097] The video acquisition sensor A5100 can be mounted on the lower end of the mounting platform A4000 with screws. The video acquisition sensor A5100 can extend into the functional hole A1910, and the operation status of the gate can be monitored through the functional hole A1910 and the gate shaft observation window. The functional hole A1910 can be opened in the middle of the base plate A1900.

[0098] In this embodiment, the sensing unit A5000 may further include an observation window positioning mechanism A5200.

[0099] The observation window positioning mechanism A5200 can be fixedly connected to the base plate A1900 by screws. The observation window positioning mechanism A5200 may include a positioning plate A5210 and an adjusting screw A5220. The adjusting screw A5220 is installed on the positioning plate A5210, and the positioning plate A5210 is located in the functional hole A1910.

[0100] Furthermore, the observation window positioning mechanism A5200 may include two sets of opposing positioning plates A5210, which are respectively located on both sides of the video acquisition sensor A5100. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of positioning plates A5210 may be one, three, or more. By adjusting the adjusting screw A5220, the positioning plates A5210 can move up and down in the functional hole A1910, and the positioning plates A5210 can extend downward to below the base plate A1900.

[0101] In this embodiment, the sensing unit A5000 may further include a light supplementation mechanism A5300.

[0102] The light supplement mechanism A5300 can be fixedly connected to the base plate A1900 by screws. The light supplement mechanism A5300 can extend to the bottom of the base plate A1900 through the functional hole A1910. In this embodiment, the number of light supplement mechanisms A5300 is two sets that are parallel to each other, but the present invention is not limited to this. The number of light supplement mechanisms A5300 can also be one set, three sets or more.

[0103] Specifically, the light supplement mechanism A5300 employs a low-pressure white light source and a diffuse reflector design. The low-pressure white light source is located inside the diffuse reflector cavity, and it shines through the diffuse reflector into the gate shaft cavity. The light supplement mechanism A5300 can extend into the gate shaft observation window. The inclusion of the light supplement mechanism A5300 facilitates the operation of the video acquisition sensor A5100, obtaining clearer detection data and thus more accurately determining the gate's operating status.

[0104] In this embodiment, the device may further include a direction adjustment unit A3000 and a mounting platform A4000. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the direction adjustment unit A3000, the mounting platform A4000, and the sensing unit A5000 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom in the lower chamber A1300.

[0105] The direction adjustment unit A3000 can be fixed to the partition A1100 on the opposite side of the processing unit A2000 by screws; that is, the direction adjustment unit A3000 is mounted as shown in the image. Figure 3 The partition A1100 shown is located on the lower side of the lower chamber A1300, and the lower end of the direction adjustment unit A3000 is fixedly connected to the mounting platform A4000 by screws.

[0106] Furthermore, the direction adjustment unit A3000 may include a translation adjustment handle A3100, a rotation adjustment handle A3200, a locking knob A3300, and a slide table A3400. Specifically, the upper end of the translation adjustment handle A3100 is fixedly connected to the partition A1100 by screws. The lower end of the rotation adjustment handle A3200 is fixedly connected to the mounting platform A4000, and the locking knob A3300 is mounted on the translation adjustment handle A3100.

[0107] The slide table A3400 is installed between the translation adjustment handle A3100 and the rotary adjustment handle A3200. The slide table A3400 can be translated along the X, Y, and Z axes under the adjustment of the translation adjustment handle A3100 (here, the X-axis direction is parallel to both the base plate A1900 and the front cover plate A1700, i.e.,...). Figure 3The horizontal direction from left to right or right to left, the Y-axis direction is from the front cover A1700 to the rear cover A1800, that is, perpendicular to... Figure 3 The direction of the Z-axis is perpendicular to the base plate A1900, that is... Figure 3 (Vertical direction from top to bottom or bottom to top), that is to say, the position of the video acquisition sensor A5100 in the X, Y, and Z axes can be adjusted by adjusting the translation adjustment handle A3100.

[0108] Adjusting the rotary adjustment handle A3200 can also adjust the rotation angle of the video acquisition sensor A5100 around the Y-axis. In this embodiment, the rotary adjustment handle A3200 is a micrometer screw adjustment rod, which can achieve fine adjustment of the rotation angle of the video acquisition sensor A5100 around the Y-axis. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The translation adjustment handle A3100 can also be selected as a micrometer screw adjustment rod, which can also achieve fine adjustment of the position of the video acquisition sensor A5100 in the X, Y, and Z directions.

[0109] After adjusting the position and angle of the video acquisition sensor A5100 to the correct position using the translation adjustment handle A3100 and the rotation adjustment handle A3200, the locking knob A3300 can be tightened to fix the position and angle of the video acquisition sensor A5100 relative to the lower chamber A1300. This prevents the monitoring field of view and angle of the video acquisition sensor A5100 from shifting during monitoring, which would affect the monitoring effect.

[0110] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the bottom plate A1900 is opposite to the other side of the lower chamber (i.e. Figure 1 The bottom plate A1900 can be covered with a vibration isolation pad A6000. The upper surface of the vibration isolation pad A6000 is flat and can fit against the lower surface of the bottom plate A1900. The middle of the lower surface of the vibration isolation pad A6000 is provided with an arc surface. The vibration isolation pad A6000 has a through hole corresponding to the functional hole A1910, with the same size and shape as the functional hole A1910, so that the sensing unit A5000 can extend under the bottom plate A1900 through the functional hole A1910.

[0111] The bottom plate A1900 is on the other side of the lower chamber A1300 (i.e. Figure 1 The lower side of the base plate A1900 is fixedly connected to the mounting clamp A7000 by bolts. The mounting clamp A7000 has a semi-circular arc structure. The mounting space formed by the mounting clamp A7000 and the base plate A1900 can clamp the gate shaft housing in the middle. The arc surface of the lower end face of the mounting clamp A7000 and the vibration isolation pad A6000 can match the gate shaft housing.

[0112] To better understand the above exemplary embodiment 1, the following will be combined with... Figure 1 , 2 The following points, 3 and 6, will further illustrate the installation process and operation of the data acquisition device.

[0113] Clamp the gate shaft assembly C in the installation space between the mounting clamp A7000 and the base plate A1900, and align the gate shaft observation window C1100 and the functional hole A1910. Then, adjust the adjusting screw A5220 to move the two sets of positioning plates A5210 downwards, locking them inside the long side of the gate shaft observation window C1100. The light supplement mechanism A5300 also extends into the gate shaft observation window C1100. Next, adjust the position and angle of the video acquisition sensor A5100 so that it extends into the gate shaft observation window C1100. At the same time, ensure that the gate action status detected by the video acquisition sensor A5100 is within the recognition range of the image processing algorithm. Tighten the locking knob A3300 to complete the installation and fixation of the land blowout preventer gate action status acquisition device A and the gate shaft assembly C.

[0114] During the monitoring process of the land-based blowout preventer gate operation status acquisition device A, the video acquisition sensor A5100, the light supplement mechanism A5300, and the processing unit A2000 are connected by a cable to form a signal acquisition and transmission loop. With the assistance of the light supplement mechanism A5300, the video acquisition sensor A5100 can capture images of the gate shaft C2000's operation status. Figure 6 When the gate shaft C2000 moves to the left to its maximum stroke, it is in the closed state; when the gate shaft C2000 moves to the right to its maximum stroke, it is in the open state. The captured video signal is then transmitted to the processing unit A2000 for analysis and processing via the signal acquisition and transmission loop.

Then connect the external power cable to the second explosion-proof plug of the data acquisition and storage device B, and start the black box device to collect key parameters of the blowout preventer operation process, realizing the whole process monitoring of the gate blowout preventer from command to action to execution result.

[0145] It should be noted that steps one to eight are installation and debugging steps of the acquisition device described in exemplary embodiment 1, and also part of the installation and debugging steps of the black box described in exemplary embodiment 2; step nine is a subsequent installation and debugging step of the black box described in exemplary embodiment 2.

[0146] Exemplary Example 3

[0147] This exemplary embodiment provides a method for monitoring the safety of a blowout preventer gate. The method is based on the land blowout preventer gate action status acquisition device in Exemplary Embodiment 1 above, or on the land blowout preventer black box in Exemplary Embodiment 2 above. The method also applies the binarization method of the image processing algorithm described in Exemplary Embodiment 1 above to process the video images acquired by the sensing unit and to calculate the parameters of the gate action.

[0148] All the connection methods involving screws or bolts mentioned above are connection methods in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and all connection methods involving screws or bolts can also be replaced with other forms of detachable connection.

[0149] In summary, this invention combines a land-based blowout preventer gate operation status acquisition device with a land-based blowout preventer black box technology. This enables the monitoring of the gate's movement status within the blowout preventer, thereby determining whether the blowout preventer is operating safely and improving operational safety. Furthermore, it can connect to pressure sensors, proximity sensors, flow sensors, etc., to collect key parameters of the blowout preventer's operation process and store and protect the data.
