[0020] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 2 The present invention describes a deepwater drilling pipe fatigue monitoring test device.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment proposes a first deepwater drilling pipe fatigue monitoring test device, which may include: An open soil box 10, wherein soil of a first preset height is placed inside; An open water pool 9, in which water of a second preset height is placed, is arranged on the top of the open earth box 10; A wave and current generating module is arranged in the open water pool 9 and is used to generate waves and currents in the open water pool 9; The sliding module 7 has a top end fixed on the truss and can reciprocate in the horizontal direction; A deepwater drilling pipe model 5, a first dynamometer 8 and a second dynamometer 6; the deepwater drilling pipe model 5 passes through the bottom of an open water pool 9 in a vertical direction and is inserted into the soil of an open soil box 10, the bottom end of which is rigidly connected to the bottom of the open soil box 10 through the first dynamometer 8, the top end of which is located above the water surface of the open water pool 9, and the top end of which is rigidly connected to the bottom end of a sliding module 7 through the second dynamometer 6, and moves under the drive of the sliding module 7; the first dynamometer 8 and the second dynamometer 6 are used to measure the force data of the deepwater drilling pipe model 5; The optical fiber sensor is arranged on the outer surface of the deep-water drilling pipe model 5 and is used to collect the force response data of the deep-water drilling pipe model 5; The control and analysis module is connected to the sliding module 7, the wave and current generating module, the first dynamometer 8, the second dynamometer 6 and the optical fiber sensor, and is used to perform a dynamic response test on the deep-water drilling pipe model 5 by controlling the operating states of the sliding module and the wave and current generating module, and to perform fatigue monitoring on the deep-water drilling pipe model 5 according to the force data measured by the first dynamometer 8 and the second dynamometer 6 and the force response data collected by the optical fiber sensor.
[0022] It should be noted that the deepwater drilling pipe may include a deepwater drilling riser, a conduit section in an underwater wellhead system, and a connection portion therebetween. The deepwater drilling pipe model is used to simulate the deepwater drilling pipe.
[0023] Among them, the first preset height and the second preset height can be set by technicians according to actual conditions.
[0024] Specifically, the first preset height and the second preset height may be the height of the open soil box 10 and the height of the water pool, respectively. At this time, the open soil box 10 may be filled with soil, and the open water pool 9 may be filled with water.
[0025] Specifically, the wave and flow generating module can exert force on the water in the open water pool 9 to create waves and flows in the open water pool 9 .
[0026] The truss may be a fixed truss.
[0027] Specifically, the sliding module 7 may include a reciprocating slide rail and a motor. The reciprocating slide rail can perform horizontal reciprocating motion under the action of the motor, driving the deep-water drilling pipe model 5 to move from the top of the deep-water drilling pipe model 5, simulating the top offset of the deep-water drilling riser and the underwater wellhead conduit.
[0028] Specifically, the deepwater drilling pipe model 5 is used to simulate the deepwater riser, the underwater wellhead system conduit section and the connection part therebetween.
[0029] Optionally, the deepwater drilling pipe model 5 is obtained by truncating and scaling down the deepwater drilling riser and the underwater wellhead conduit.
[0030] Specifically, this embodiment can design a scaled-down experimental model of the deepwater riser-underwater wellhead system conduit section based on similarity theory (similar principles such as geometry, Froude number or Reynolds number), perform truncation design according to the depth of the experimental water pool, and manufacture a deepwater drilling pipe model 5 that meets the scaled-down requirements such as stiffness, wet weight and outer diameter, so as to complete the design of a deepwater underwater wellhead system fatigue monitoring pool experiment under wave-current coupling and top reciprocating motion.
[0031] Specifically, this embodiment can test the local stress load characteristics at the deepwater drilling pipe model 5 under the action of wave-current coupling and top reciprocating motion, and use the monitoring data of the deepwater drilling pipe model 5 to evaluate the fatigue monitoring damage of the deepwater drilling riser and the underwater wellhead.
[0032] It should be noted that when conducting underwater wellhead-drilling riser experiments in the ocean, relevant technologies often scale down and truncate the experimental model based on similarity theory (geometry, Froude number or Reynolds number and other similarity principles) to adapt to the depth of the experimental pool. However, in this experiment, the application depth of the underwater wellhead drilling riser is generally over 1000m. Even after scaling down at a ratio of 1:50, the pool depth still needs to exceed 20m, which is too high. In this experiment, the wellhead system fatigue monitoring pool experiment is mainly for regularity research, and the experiment can be carried out without strict scaling according to the prototype, and a truncated scaling experiment can be used.
[0033] Specifically, this embodiment can carry out deepwater underwater wellhead system fatigue monitoring tank experiments under different wave and current coupling effects and top reciprocating motion with different amplitude periods, so as to realize the subsequent study on the variation law of deepwater underwater wellhead fatigue damage. By using the underwater wellhead system fatigue damage tank experiment data processing method and using the deepwater riser-underwater wellhead system guide tube section monitoring data analysis to calculate the wellhead fatigue damage, a comparative study is carried out with the wellhead fatigue damage results predicted based on environmental data such as wave and current, and the variation law of deepwater underwater wellhead fatigue damage under different influencing factors such as current, wave, and top reciprocating motion is studied.

[0035] Among them, the lower flexible joint model 4 , the blowout preventer model 3 and most of the drilling riser models are located in the open water pool 9 .
[0036] Specifically, the first dynamometer 8 is installed at the bottom of the surface conduit model 2 and fixed to the bottom of the open soil box. The first dynamometer 8 can monitor the stress conditions in the six degrees of freedom directions of the bottom.
[0037] Specifically, a second dynamometer 6 is installed on the top of the drilling riser model and fixed on a reciprocating slide rail. The second dynamometer 6 can monitor the force conditions in the six degrees of freedom directions of the top.
[0038] Among them, the lower flexible joint model 4 can be a hinged joint.
[0039] The surface conduit model 2 is entirely located in the soil and is mainly used to simulate the conduit-soil interaction.
[0040] It should be noted that in the preliminary experimental design, the open water pool 9 has the ability to generate loads such as waves and currents, and the equivalent soil box at the bottom has a certain depth to enable the conduit under the underwater wellhead to be in the soil.
[0041] Optionally, the drilling riser model is a non-homogeneous multi-layer cylindrical tube structure composed of three layers of materials, which are lead rod 501, aluminum tube 502, and high-density polyethylene tube 503 from inside to outside.
[0042] Specifically, the drilling riser model can use lead rod 501, aluminum tube 502 and high-density polyethylene tube 503 as core rods to simulate the riser model according to the difference in stiffness and outer diameter, and the overall requirements of stiffness, wet weight and outer diameter are achieved. Before the experiment, the outer diameter, mass, bending stiffness and axial stiffness of the model pipe are measured.
[0043] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the drilling riser model can be a non-homogeneous multi-layer cylindrical structure composed of three layers of different materials. The drilling riser model is composed of a lead rod 501, an aluminum tube 502, and a high-density polyethylene tube 503 from the inside to the outside. The lead rod 501, the aluminum tube 502, and the high-density polyethylene tube 503 are coated in sequence. Among them, the lead rod 501 mainly meets the wet weight requirement, the aluminum tube 502 mainly bears the bending stiffness requirement, and the high-density polyethylene tube 503 considers part of the bending stiffness, the drag outer diameter, and the wet weight requirement.

[0046] Optionally, the environmental parameter measurement module includes a Doppler current profiler and a wave meter, and the wave and current characteristic data include water flow velocity, wave height and wave period.
[0047] Specifically, the first force gauge 8 and the second force gauge 6 mainly measure the force and bending moment. Optical fiber strain sensors 12 and optical fiber acceleration sensors 11 are arranged outside the drilling riser model and the surface conduit model 2 to measure the acceleration and strain of each measuring point of the pipe section. Specifically, in this embodiment, four groups of measuring points can be arranged at 0 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock directions of the pipe section, the optical fiber acceleration sensor 11 is arranged at 9 o'clock, and the optical fiber strain sensor 12 is arranged in the other three directions. Optical fiber sensors, especially optical fiber sensors on the wellhead and conduit in the soil, must be well protected. The control and analysis module can be equipped with an optical fiber demodulator and a data processing computer.
[0048] In the experiment process, the present embodiment can mainly change the water flow velocity, wave height and period, the movement amplitude and period of the top of the pipe section, and collect and record the force data of the top and bottom of the deep-water drilling pipe model 5 through the force gauge. In the present embodiment, the force response data such as the acceleration and strain time history data of the pipe body distributed along the pipe section and the wellhead can be measured by the optical fiber sensor.
[0049] The deepwater drilling pipe model 5 adopted in this embodiment can realize similarity simulation of the riser principle and satisfy the gravity similarity theory, so that the test model and the test prototype have strong similarity.
[0050] The force gauge used in this embodiment can measure the tension at the top of the cut-off riser and the bottom of the underwater wellhead, as well as the drag force of the pipeline under the action of the ocean current. The optical fiber acceleration and optical fiber strain measurement used in this embodiment can collect the vibration acceleration and strain change characteristics of the underwater wellhead-rise pipe section, and can realize the fatigue damage monitoring and evaluation of the underwater wellhead, thereby providing important guidance for the fatigue damage mechanism and safe application of the underwater wellhead system.

The method may include the following steps: S301. The control analysis module performs a dynamic response test on a deep-water drilling pipe model by controlling the operating states of the wave flow generation module and the sliding module.
[0053] Optionally, step S301 may include: The control and analysis module applies wave-current coupling to the deep-water drilling pipe model by controlling the wave-current generating module to generate waves and currents in an open water pool, and drives the deep-water drilling pipe model to move by controlling the sliding module to perform reciprocating motion in the horizontal direction, so as to conduct a dynamic response test on the deep-water drilling pipe model.
[0054] Specifically, the wave and current generating module can exert force on the water in the open water pool to generate waves and currents in the open water pool.
