Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention provides a knowledge-embedded drilling speed intelligent prediction system and method thereof, belonging to the technical field of drilling engineering. Background Art

[0002] As a high-risk, high-investment project, drilling models must be stable, reliable and explainable, which are necessary conditions for the on-site promotion and application of all drilling models. Otherwise, it is very likely to mislead drilling planning and increase drilling costs and risks. However, with the continuous deepening of the process of intelligent drilling, a large number of mechanical drilling speed intelligent prediction models have been applied and tested at the drilling site. The shortcomings of the existing models, such as weak migration and poor stability, have also been revealed, which has seriously restricted the process of intelligent drilling.

[0003] The conventional drilling speed intelligent prediction model inputs data into an unexplainable artificial intelligence "black box model" to obtain the corresponding output results. The calculation process is uncontrollable and may not conform to the already clear physical laws. The input results have low stability, weak mobility, and poor reliability. Once the input data differs greatly from the training set, the accuracy of the model will be greatly reduced.

[0004] CN118396043A provides a mechanical drilling speed prediction method based on dual-branch incremental learning. Although the patent proposes a prediction model based on a new artificial intelligence algorithm, which improves the prediction accuracy of the model, the field requires not only high accuracy, but also high reliability and mobility. The stability, reliability and mobility of this method are difficult to guarantee.

[0005] In terms of improving the stability and transferability of the drilling speed intelligent prediction model, a reliable method is to embed the knowledge of the drilling field into the artificial intelligence model. Knowledge embedding of the artificial intelligence model refers to representing physical knowledge in a form that can be processed by computers, so that the established intelligent model follows objective physical laws or facts during the working process, avoiding extremely unreasonable prediction results. In other industrial fields, relevant research on domain knowledge embedding has been carried out.

[0006] However, there is still a lack of research in the field of drilling rate prediction. Compared with other industrial fields, the embedding of domain knowledge in the drilling rate intelligent prediction model faces many difficulties. On the one hand, due to the high cost of downhole drilling measurement tools and the lack of downhole data, the downhole state cannot be accurately described, and the mechanical drilling rate can only be directly predicted based on surface logging and mud logging data; on the other hand, most of the current drilling rate equations are regression equations obtained through data statistics, and the rock crushing mechanism is still not completely clear, lacking guidance from regular equations such as the Bernoulli equation and the Darcy equation. The knowledge-embedded drilling rate intelligent prediction model is also one of the most important challenges that the drilling intelligent transformation process needs to face. Summary of the invention

[0007] The present invention extracts complex knowledge such as the correlation between drilling parameters and mechanical penetration rate, boundary conditions, confidence intervals, etc., forms knowledge embedding methods through structural optimization, physical constraints and model fusion, builds a coupling framework of multiple drilling knowledge embedding methods, and proposes a knowledge-embedded penetration rate intelligent prediction system and method.

[0008] The present invention integrates artificial intelligence algorithms with drilling mechanisms, constrains the calculation process of the "black box" drilling speed intelligent prediction model, ensures that the calculations are performed and the results are output within the defined drilling physics laws and confidence intervals, and improves the stability, migration performance and reliability of the model.
