Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention.

[0037] In order to make the purpose, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] The present invention provides a throttle tube intelligent control method for drilling operations, which is used to solve the problems in the prior art that when the formation pressure changes with depth during drilling operations, the density of the drilling fluid does not change in time, and the drilling fluid hydraulic pressure has a poor balancing effect on the formation pressure.

[0039] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 The present invention provides a first flow chart of a throttle tube intelligent control method for drilling operations.

[0040] S100, obtaining the historical records of the choke opening adjustment and the drilling fluid flow rate, and establishing a relationship function between the choke opening and the drilling fluid flow rate;

[0041] It should be noted that the throttle tube, as part of the drilling throttle manifold system, can be used to adjust the drilling fluid pressure and control the flow rate. While the drilling fluid enters the bottom of the well through the drill bit of the drill tool, it will also pass through the throttle valve and the overflow valve into the tube of the drilling throttle manifold for collection and processing. The throttle tube adjusts the flow rate of the drilling fluid to better ensure the effect of the drilling fluid. In the process of the throttle manifold system adjusting the drilling fluid with the opening degree of the throttle tube, the record is kept. The larger the throttle tube opening, the greater the flow rate of the drilling fluid, and the greater the flow rate of the drilling fluid, and a relationship function between the throttle tube opening and the drilling fluid flow rate is established.

[0042] S200, obtaining the formation pressure record of the logging while drilling, establishing a depth-formation pressure relationship function, updating the depth-formation pressure relationship function with real-time data, and obtaining the current drilling fluid density, establishing a choke opening control model, and obtaining a choke opening adjustment value, wherein the choke opening control model is specifically:

[0043]

[0044] Among them, h1 is the depth of the wellhead, h2 is the depth of the bottom of the well, and f(h) is the relationship function between formation pressure and depth. is the average formation density, g is the gravitational acceleration, ρ 液 is the drilling fluid density, f(k) is the relationship function between the choke opening and the drilling fluid flow rate, A is the wellbore cross-sectional area at depth H, H is the depth of the sampling point in the drilling wellbore, C is the Bernoulli equation constant, and k is the choke opening adjustment value;

[0045] It should be noted that the formation rock structure at the location of the drilling operation can be measured by logging while drilling. The formation rock physical parameters can be measured during the drilling process, and the measurement results can be sent to the ground for processing in real time using a data telemetry system. During the drilling operation, a depth meter can be configured at the drill bit to obtain the real-time depth of the drill bit. In this embodiment, the depth refers to the horizontal distance between the wellhead and the drill bit. By recording the correlation data of the drill bit depth and time during the drilling operation, the relationship between the depth and time in the current drilling operation is obtained. Then, through the correlation data of the formation pressure and time recorded by the logging while drilling, the relationship between the formation pressure and time under the formation condition of the current drilling operation is obtained. With time as the correlation, a depth and formation pressure relationship function is established. As the drill bit depth of the drilling operation changes, the formation pressure data received in real time updates the depth and formation pressure relationship function.

[0046] The density of the drilling fluid has been adjusted before being injected into the well. However, with the subsequent drilling operation, the density of the drilling fluid can be adjusted by increasing the weight or diluting it with clean water to make the density of the drilling fluid match the formation pressure. The density adjustment of the drilling fluid will be recorded, and the real-time drilling fluid density will be substituted into the model when establishing the choke opening control model. In the process from the wellhead depth h1 to the well bottom depth h2, multiple formations will be passed through. The formation pressure and depth relationship function f(h) reflects the formation pressure characteristics of multiple formations. f(h) is actually a piecewise function combining multiple segment functions. In the choke opening control model, the first formula regards the wellhead to the well bottom as a uniform formation, and the formation pressure under uniform formation density is only related to the depth. The average formation density under the uniform formation is calculated. According to the Bernoulli equation, the kinetic energy and potential of the drilling fluid can be obtained. The relationship between energy and pressure potential energy at a certain depth. When it is necessary to change the drilling fluid pressure by adjusting the throttle opening to offset the formation pressure, the pressure can be replaced by the corresponding formation pressure, and the flow rate parameter is replaced by the relationship function between the opening and the flow rate divided by the cross-sectional area. The throttle opening control model reflects that the throttle opening can be changed to change the flow rate of the drilling fluid in the wellbore to adjust the flow rate, and finally the liquid pressure on the wellbore wall can be adjusted. Any depth H in the wellbore without a throttle manifold can be used as a sampling point to be substituted into the second formula of the throttle opening control model, and the cross-sectional area is the cross-sectional area of ​​the wellbore at the depth corresponding to H. In the vertical well drilling, the wellbore diameter remains unchanged, while the cross-sectional area of ​​the trapezoidal well or throat well will gradually become thinner. The corresponding cross-sectional area needs to be obtained according to the depth H. The cross-sectional area corresponding to the wellbore depth will be recorded during the drilling process.

[0047] The density of the drilling fluid in the wellbore is consistent. Although the drilling fluid pressure adjusted under the throttle opening cannot achieve the best balancing effect on the formation pressure at all locations in the wellbore, it is optimal overall.

[0048] S300, sending the throttle pipe opening adjustment value to the throttle manifold control module.

[0049] It should be noted that the control module in the throttle manifold control box can realize corresponding actions, data collection, related control logic judgment and execution, and complete the configuration of related interfaces and automatic data control with the terminal equipment through the Internet to realize remote control of the throttle switch; after the throttle tube opening adjustment value is sent to the throttle manifold, the drilling fluid hydraulic pressure can be quickly adjusted, so that the hydraulic pressure can more effectively balance the overall wellbore formation pressure, but it is only a temporary balance for the real-time changing formation pressure and rock gap density, and the density of the drilling fluid still needs to be adjusted later; in addition to being suitable for pressure control during drilling, this embodiment can also be used to kill the well when overflow occurs in an empty well. When the accumulated throttle tube opening adjustment value reaches a preset threshold after a period of operation, the throttle manifold control module can communicate online to send an alarm to the operation and maintenance personnel of the drilling operation and maintenance control center, indicating that there is an abnormal pressure change, and indicating the drilling fluid density that needs to be adjusted according to the accumulated throttle tube opening adjustment value, so that the operation and maintenance personnel can quickly respond to drilling safety and maintain drilling safety in time.

[0050] In this embodiment, by establishing a relationship function between the throttle tube opening and the drilling fluid flow rate, and establishing a real-time updated relationship function between the depth and the formation pressure, in the throttle tube opening control model, the segmented variation in the depth and the formation pressure relationship is fitted as a uniform formation density, and the flow rate is associated with the hydraulic pressure corresponding to the uniform formation density using the Bernoulli equation, the flow rate that needs to be adjusted is calculated, and the corresponding throttle tube opening is obtained according to the relationship function based on the flow rate to be adjusted, and sent to the throttle manifold control module to adjust the throttle tube, and the drilling fluid hydraulic pressure is quickly adjusted so that the hydraulic pressure can more effectively balance the overall wellbore formation pressure and reduce the hidden dangers of formation pressure to drilling under changes in drilling depth.

[0051] The above is a detailed description of the first embodiment of a throttle tube intelligent control method for drilling operations provided by the present application. The following is a detailed description of the second embodiment of a throttle tube intelligent control method for drilling operations provided by the present application.

[0052] In this embodiment, a choke tube intelligent control method for drilling operations is further provided. In the aforementioned step S300, the choke tube opening adjustment value is sent to the choke manifold control module specifically as follows:

[0053] The average formation density is substituted into the pressure difference judgment model. When the average formation density satisfies the pressure difference judgment model, the throttle tube opening adjustment value is sent to the throttle manifold control module. The pressure difference judgment model is specifically:

[0054]

[0055] Wherein, Q is the preset safety pressure difference value, and h is any depth value in the interval (h1, h2);

[0056] It should be noted that the density of the drilling fluid needs to be reasonably set during the drilling operation. When the density of the drilling fluid is too high, the formation will be leaked and the wellbore wall will be crushed. Therefore, in this embodiment, when adjusting the throttle opening, the formation with low rock gap density needs to be considered to prevent the pressure difference between the drilling fluid hydraulic pressure and the formation after adjusting the throttle opening from being too large. In the established pressure difference judgment model, the pressure difference between the drilling wellbore depth h1 to the drilling bottom depth h2 and the fitted equivalent average formation density will be traversed. When the fitted equivalent pressure difference can all meet the requirement of being less than the preset safety pressure difference value, it can be ensured that the drilling fluid pressure increased by the throttle opening will not crush the wellbore wall at the place where the formation rock gap density is the smallest. The preset safety pressure difference value is set according to the structure, material and parameters of the wellbore wall.

[0057] Further, in the aforementioned step S200, after obtaining the throttle tube opening adjustment value, it also includes: if the throttle tube opening adjustment value exceeds the throttle tube opening adjustment range, then calculating the difference between the throttle tube opening adjustment value and the throttle tube opening extreme value, and adjusting the boost valve with the difference; it should be noted that the throttle valve opening has adjustment restrictions, and the aforementioned relationship function f(k) between the throttle tube opening and the drilling fluid flow rate is only valid within a certain opening range, but in the calculation of the throttle tube opening control model, the opening adjustment value calculated to meet the formation pressure may exceed the adjustment range of the throttle tube. At this time, the boost valve in the throttle manifold can be adjusted according to the opening value of the excess part, and combined with the control, the boost valve adjustment value calculation can refer to the model:

[0058]

[0059] Among them, P 增 k is the boost value that the boost valve needs to adjust, 调 is the throttle tube opening adjustment value, k max is the extreme value of the throttle opening; according to the pressure regulation of the booster valve, the boost value P that the booster valve needs to adjust 增 The boost valve is controlled in conjunction with the throttle tube to control the hydraulic pressure of the drilling fluid.

[0060] The above is a detailed description of an intelligent control method for a throttle tube for drilling operations provided in the first aspect of the present application. The following is a detailed description of an embodiment of an intelligent control system for a throttle tube for drilling operations provided in the second aspect of the present application.

[0066] The throttle tube control module 30 is used to send the throttle tube opening adjustment value to the throttle manifold control module.

[0067] Furthermore, in the throttle tube control module 30, the throttle tube opening adjustment value is sent to the throttle manifold control module specifically as follows:

When the average formation density satisfies the pressure difference judgment model, the throttle tube opening adjustment value is sent to the throttle manifold control module. The pressure difference judgment model is specifically:

[0069]

[0070] Wherein, Q is the preset safety pressure difference value, and h is any depth value in the interval (h1, h2).

[0071] Furthermore, after obtaining the throttle tube opening adjustment value, the opening adjustment value calculation module 20 further includes:
