Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of deepwater oil and gas field development, and in particular to a method and device for determining the jet displacement during deepwater surface conduit well construction. Background Art
[0002] Deepwater oil and gas is a vital energy source, receiving increasing attention worldwide. The development and exploitation of deepwater oil and gas fields not only offers significant economic benefits but also possesses vast resource potential. With the continuous advancement of marine engineering operations and offshore oil and gas exploration and development technologies, the development of deepwater oil and gas resources has become increasingly feasible and economical. These technological developments have not only improved exploration and development efficiency, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, but also lowered investment costs, making the development of deepwater oil and gas resources even more attractive.
[0003] The surface conductor is the first subsea tubing string in deepwater oil and gas development. It provides a stable starting point for subsequent drilling operations and ensures the flow of drilling fluids, drill tools, production and testing tools, and oil and gas. Surface conductor installation is a crucial process in deepwater drilling. Drilling cementing, suction piles, and jetting are commonly used to install surface conductors. Drilling cementing requires complex drilling tools and a long operation cycle, and the cement used is highly contaminated by the seabed. The suction pile method is subject to soil properties and topographical conditions, and its stability is severely affected by strong seawater currents. The jetting method, on the other hand, uses no cement after the surface conductor is installed, relying instead on the bearing capacity provided by the backfill and compaction of the surrounding seabed soil for stability. The jetting method allows for rapid wellhead establishment and generates minimal waste. Its adaptability to a variety of seabed soil types, environmental friendliness, and high operational efficiency make it a popular method for deepwater surface well construction.
[0004] The principle of the surface pipe installation technology is to use water jet to destroy the soil to form a wellbore. After the surface pipe is installed, it relies on the soil to provide bearing capacity to maintain stability. If the hydraulic parameters of the jet are too small, the diameter of the wellbore formed by the jet is smaller than the diameter of the surface pipe, which seriously affects the efficiency of the jet operation. Figure 1 If the hydraulic parameters of the jet are too large, the diameter of the wellbore formed by the jet is significantly larger than the diameter of the surface pipe, and a long waiting time is required to ensure that the soil can stably support the pipe. Figure 1As shown in (b) in the figure. After the catheter is installed, it needs to be left to wait, and the waiting time is mostly obtained based on experience, without specific guidance methods. Too long a waiting time increases project costs, and too long a dynamic positioning of the platform wastes fuel and produces greenhouse gases. Too short a waiting time will cause the catheter to sink, resulting in operation failure. Therefore, accurately controlling the drilling jet displacement is the key to achieving safe, efficient and environmentally friendly drilling. However, the existing technology cannot accurately control the drilling jet displacement to balance the efficient catheter installation operation and the shortest safe waiting time in the deepwater surface well construction process.
[0005] To address the above issues, no effective solutions have been proposed so far. Summary of the Invention

Figure 2 A flow chart of a method for determining the jet displacement in a deepwater surface conduit well construction process in an embodiment of this specification is shown.

[0049] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, a method for determining the injection rate during deepwater surface conductor well construction provided by an embodiment of this specification may include the following steps:
[0050] Step S201: Acquire drilling parameters and formation property parameters for deepwater surface jet well construction operations.
[0051] The surface conduit is the first layer of tubing in deepwater oil and gas development. It provides a stable starting point for subsequent drilling operations and ensures the passage of drilling fluid, drilling tools, production and testing tools, and oil and gas. The installation of the surface conduit is a critical step in deepwater drilling. In this embodiment, the surface conduit is installed using a jetting method.
[0052] In the deepwater surface jet well construction operation to be studied, drilling parameters and formation property parameters can be obtained. Drilling parameters can include at least one of the following: weight on bit, drill bit extension, jet flow rate, drill bit water hole, etc. Formation property parameters can include at least one of the following: shear strength, recovery capacity, friction properties, and fracture pressure, etc.
[0053] Step S202: using the target BP neural network, determining the correlation between the jet displacement and the mechanical drilling rate based on the drilling parameters and the formation property parameters.
[0054] During the jetting installation phase of surface well construction, drilling parameters and geological conditions, among other factors, can impact the efficiency of catheter installation. BP (Back Propagation) neural networks, due to their ability to integrate the influence of multiple factors, offer advantages in calculating the relationship between flow rate and ROP. Therefore, after obtaining the drilling parameters and formation property parameters for deepwater surface jetting operations, a target BP neural network can be used to determine the correlation between flow rate and ROP based on these parameters. The target BP neural network can be a pre-trained BP neural network.
[0055] In some embodiments of the present specification, the target BP neural network is constructed in the following manner: according to the physical relationship between the jet displacement and the mechanical drilling speed, the structure of the BP neural network and the number of neurons in the input layer, hidden layer and output layer contained in the BP neural network are determined; drilling parameters and geological parameters are collected; the BP neural network is trained with the collected data to obtain the target BP neural network; during the training process, the network weights of the BP neural network are adjusted through iterative optimization so that the correlation between the jet displacement output by the BP neural network and the mechanical drilling speed is close to the actual relationship between the jet displacement and the mechanical drilling speed.
[0056] Specifically, during drilling operations, drilling fluid flow rate and ROP (Rate of Permeance) interact and are interdependent. Typically, the correlation between drilling fluid flow rate and ROP is positive and nonlinear, as various geological conditions and drilling parameters influence this relationship. Formation properties can include seabed hardness, undrained shear strength, porosity, and permeability. Drilling parameters include drilling fluid properties, drill bit type and size, and drilling process parameters. Drilling fluid properties include density, viscosity, and flow rate. Drilling process parameters include weight on bit, rotational speed, and injection angle.
[0057] In the design of deepwater surface jetting, a BP neural network-based model was developed to predict the relationship between drilling rate and ROP in jet drilling. Drilling and geological parameters were collected, and based on the relationship between drilling rate and ROP, the BP neural network architecture was designed, including the number of neurons in the input, hidden, and output layers. The design of these layers took into account the complexity of the input data and the nonlinear characteristics of the output relationship. The BP neural network was trained using the collected data.
[0058] Specifically, the number of neurons in the input layer of the BP neural network usually corresponds to the number of input features. The BP neural network mainly studies the influence of engineering operation parameters and geological parameters on the mechanical drilling speed during drilling. The drilling parameters are expressed as the difficulty of drilling into and destroying the formation, and the formation parameters are expressed as whether the formation is difficult to drill. In this embodiment, the input features may include formation parameters (such as rock hardness and porosity), drilling fluid parameters (such as density and viscosity), drill bit parameters (such as type and size), and other process parameters (such as bit pressure and displacement). Each input feature corresponds to an input neuron, which transmits data to the hidden layer.
[0059] There's no fixed rule for the number of neurons in a hidden layer, and this number is typically determined through experimentation. There can be one or more hidden layers, and the number of neurons in each hidden layer can vary. Hidden layers are responsible for extracting features and patterns from the input data, processing the data through nonlinear activation functions (such as Sigmoid, ReLU, or Tanh) to capture the complex relationship between input and output. In theory, more hidden layers and neurons can capture more complex patterns, but this can also lead to overfitting, so experimentation is necessary to determine the optimal number.
[0060] The output of the BP neural network is the mechanical penetration rate. Based on the input of different jet displacements, the BP neural network obtains the corresponding mechanical penetration rate, thereby determining the correlation between displacement and penetration rate. The drilling time during the jet drilling installation phase can be determined based on the penetration rate. The output layer converts the data processed by the hidden layer into the final prediction result. For regression problems (such as predicting mechanical penetration rate), the output layer typically uses a linear activation function. This method can design a BP neural network that can handle the complexity of the input data while capturing the nonlinear characteristics of the output relationship. This process requires a certain amount of experience and multiple experiments to achieve the optimal network structure.
[0061] Through iterative optimization, the network weights were adjusted to ensure that the network output closely matched the relationship between actual drilling displacement and mechanical penetration rate. The trained BP neural network was then tested using test data to verify the network's predictive performance. This helped assess the model's reliability and accuracy. Finally, during the network optimization phase, the network structure and training parameters were adjusted based on the test results to further improve the network's predictive accuracy and better adapt it to the needs of actual drilling operations.
[0062] Step S203: Using a target long short-term memory neural network, a surface bearing capacity recovery curve is established according to the drilling parameters and formation property parameters; the surface bearing capacity recovery curve is a curve showing the change of surface bearing capacity over time.
[0063] A target long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network can be used to establish a surface bearing capacity recovery curve based on the drilling parameters and formation property parameters. This curve shows the change in surface bearing capacity over time. The LSTM model can account for the impact of time series and accurately calculate the bearing capacity recovery during the static waiting process. It can also determine the shortest waiting time to avoid excessive waiting that wastes energy and emits excessive greenhouse gases, and excessive waiting that can lead to operational safety accidents.
[0064] The BP neural network can be used to calculate the drilling time through the mechanical drilling speed, and the LSTM neural network can be used to calculate the refined waiting time, thereby calculating the time of the entire jet drilling installation stage and the static waiting stage.
[0065] In some embodiments of the present specification, the target long short-term memory neural network is constructed by: determining the structure of the long short-term memory neural network and the number and layers of long short-term memory units; collecting jet drilling parameters and waiting time; using the collected jet drilling parameters and waiting time to train the long short-term memory neural network to obtain a target long short-term memory neural network; during the training process, adjusting the network weights of the long short-term memory neural network through iterative optimization so that the output of the long short-term memory neural network is close to the actual bearing capacity data.
[0066] To calculate the real-time bearing capacity during the jet drilling wait period, an LSTM method is used to establish a surface bearing capacity recovery curve with confidence intervals, thereby calculating the static waiting time during the jet drilling wait period. After collecting jet drilling parameters and waiting time, the LSTM network structure is designed, including the input layer, LSTM layer, and output layer. The number of LSTM units and layers in the LSTM layer needs to be adjusted according to the specific problem to accommodate the complexity of the data. The LSTM network is trained using engineering data, and the network weights are adjusted through iterative optimization to ensure that the network output is close to the actual bearing capacity data. Based on the LSTM network's prediction results, confidence intervals are established for the surface bearing capacity recovery curve over time to reflect the changing trend of bearing capacity.
[0067] Specifically, the number of LSTM units typically corresponds to the number of input features. LSTMs primarily study bearing capacity recovery during the waiting period, which is primarily influenced by geological parameters. Only the operational parameter during drilling, drilling rate, affects recovery during the waiting period, manifesting as excessive formation damage and slower recovery. The number of layers typically needs to be adjusted through experimentation to find the optimal balance between performance and computing resources. LSTM design must consider the temporal dependencies of the data. For example, the impact of drilling rate on soil recovery (backfill) may require consideration of information at different time scales. Determine the input feature dimensions and set the number of LSTM units. Determine the number of LSTM layers, each layer can have a different number of units. Determine the output layer structure, typically one or more neurons, to predict the impact of drilling rate on soil recovery. Train the LSTM model using time series data (drilling rate data) as input. Apply an appropriate loss function and optimize the model parameters through backpropagation and gradient descent. Use a validation set to evaluate model performance. Adjust the number of LSTM units and layers based on performance metrics such as prediction accuracy and overfitting.
[0068] In some embodiments of this specification, a target long-short-term memory neural network is used to establish a surface bearing capacity recovery curve based on the drilling parameters and formation property parameters, including: establishing the surface bearing capacity recovery curve based on the bearing capacity data output by the target long-short-term memory neural network; determining a static waiting time during the jet drilling waiting period based on the surface bearing capacity recovery curve, wherein the static waiting time is the minimum waiting time to ensure the safety of deepwater surface jet drilling operations. Determining the minimum waiting time during the jet drilling waiting period based on the bearing capacity recovery curve ensures that the bearing capacity of the casing is safe and that excessive waiting time is not wasted while positioning the work platform, thereby ensuring the safety and efficiency of deepwater surface well construction operations.
[0069] Step S204 , using a particle swarm optimization algorithm, based on the correlation between the injection displacement and the mechanical drilling speed and the surface bearing capacity recovery curve, calculate the target injection displacement.
[0070] After determining the correlation between jet displacement and ROP, as well as the surface bearing capacity recovery curve, a particle swarm optimization algorithm can be used to calculate the target jet displacement based on this correlation and the surface bearing capacity recovery curve. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm optimizes the coupled effects of displacement on the jet drilling installation and standby phases, calculating the optimal solution for both the installation and standby phases. The optimal solution includes the target jet displacement, target ROP, target drilling time, target standby time, and target surface conductor bearing capacity for the jet drilling installation phase.
[0071] In some embodiments of the present specification, a particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to calculate the target injection displacement based on the correlation between the injection displacement and the mechanical drilling speed and the surface bearing capacity recovery curve, including: initializing a randomly generated group of particles, and calculating the corresponding fitness based on the performance indicators of each group of particles; each particle is used to represent a jet drilling plan, and the jet drilling plan includes a combination of a corresponding injection displacement and a static waiting time; according to the historical best position and the global best position of each particle, its speed and position are updated, the new position of each particle is evaluated, and its fitness is calculated; if the fitness of the current particle is better than its historical best position, the individual best position is updated; if the fitness of the current particle is better than the global best position, the global best position is updated, and it is continuously iterated until a preset number of iterations is met or a fitness threshold is reached; the global best position is output, and the optimal solution for the jet drilling installation stage and the static waiting stage is obtained.
[0072] In this example, to improve the overall efficiency and safety of jet drilling, a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm was used to optimize the flow rate combinations during the jet drilling installation and standby phases. Starting from a random solution, the PSO algorithm iteratively searches for the optimal solution, uses fitness to evaluate the quality of the solution, and then pursues the currently found optimal value to find the global optimum. The optimal solution for the entire jet drilling installation and standby phases includes the optimal solutions for the following parameters: jet flow rate and mechanical penetration rate during drilling, drilling time, standby time, and surface conductor load capacity.
[0073] Based on the goal of jet drilling, a fitness function is defined to evaluate the quality of each particle. This fitness function takes into account factors such as jet efficiency, safety, and environmental impact to ensure that the optimization results meet actual needs.
[0074] Based on each particle's historical best position and the global best position, its velocity and position are updated, each particle's new position is evaluated, and its fitness is calculated. If the current particle's fitness is better than its historical best position, the individual best position is updated; if the current particle's fitness is better than the global best position, the global best position is updated. This process iterates until the preset number of iterations or fitness threshold is met.
[0075] Finally, the global optimal position is output, which is the optimal solution for the entire jet drilling installation phase and the static waiting phase. This optimal solution can guide actual jet drilling operations and improve efficiency and safety.
[0076] In the above-described embodiment, during deepwater surface conductor well construction, a BP neural network is used to optimize the surface conductor jet flow rate to control the drilling speed, a long short-term memory neural network is used to predict the surface conductor bearing capacity recovery with a confidence interval, and a particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to optimize the flow rate to obtain the optimal deepwater surface conductor well construction flow rate. This embodiment is verified through actual drilling cases. The embodiment effectively balances efficient conductor installation operations and minimizes safe waiting time during deepwater surface well construction. This provides a new method for deepwater surface conductor well construction, which relies mainly on experience. The method has reference significance for deepwater surface well construction design and improves the safety and efficiency of high-efficiency deepwater surface drilling.
[0077] In some embodiments of the present specification, after calculating the target injection displacement based on the correlation between the injection displacement and the mechanical drilling rate and the surface bearing capacity recovery curve using a particle swarm optimization algorithm, the further embodiment includes: determining the corresponding target mechanical drilling rate based on the target injection displacement and the correlation between the injection displacement and the mechanical drilling rate; and calculating the real-time bearing capacity of the casing during the shortest well construction time and the waiting period based on the target injection displacement, the target mechanical drilling rate, and the surface bearing capacity recovery curve.
[0078] During the results analysis and decision support phase, the optimized jet flow rate and ROP are used to calculate the minimum well construction time and the real-time casing load capacity during the waiting period. These results are fed back into the actual production process to guide drilling operations, thereby improving efficiency and reducing costs.
[0079] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. For details, please refer to the description of the aforementioned related processing embodiments, and no further description is given here.
[0080] The foregoing description of this specification describes specific embodiments. Other embodiments are within the scope of the appended claims. In some cases, the actions or steps recited in the claims can be performed in an order different from that described in the embodiments and still achieve the desired results. Furthermore, the processes depicted in the accompanying drawings do not necessarily require the specific order shown or the sequential order to achieve the desired results. In certain embodiments, multitasking and parallel processing are also possible or may be advantageous.
[0081] The above method is described below with reference to a specific embodiment. However, it should be noted that this specific embodiment is only for better illustrating this specification and does not constitute an improper limitation to this specification.
[0082] This specific embodiment provides a method for determining the jet flow rate during deepwater surface conductor well construction. Deepwater surface conductor well construction operations include the surface conductor installation phase and the post-installation waiting phase. The jet flow rate is a crucial factor in the surface conductor installation process. This jet flow rate not only determines the surface conductor's load-bearing capacity but is also directly related to the jetting speed. If the jet flow rate does not reach the minimum groundbreaking rate, the conductor's lowering speed will be very slow. Once the jet flow rate exceeds this minimum, increasing the flow rate can significantly improve the jetting efficiency. However, as the flow rate increases, the water jet's interference with the soil surrounding the conductor increases, further reducing the surface conductor's load-bearing capacity. Prolonged waiting times after installation can even lead to sinking accidents. Therefore, precisely controlling the jet flow rate during jet drilling requires considering both the hydraulic groundbreaking capacity and the conductor's load-bearing capacity, which is crucial for improving the efficiency and safety of surface well construction.
[0083] The shallow seabed soil is soft. To ensure jetting efficiency and prevent wellbore tilt and clay bit jamming, water jetting is primarily used for groundbreaking, supplemented by mechanical drilling. To ensure the efficiency of the jetting guide tube, the minimum flow rate required to achieve rock breaking capacity is set as the lower limit of the jetting flow rate during design. During well construction using the jetting method to install the surface guide tube, its impact on the soil can be viewed as the expansion of a cylindrical hole in infinite soil. The wellbore radius formed by the hydraulic jet corresponds to the initial radius of the cylindrical hole, while the radius of the surface guide tube is the radius after the hole is expanded.
[0084] The momentum of the water jet before it acts on the soil is ρQu, and after it acts on the soil, its momentum becomes ρQucosθ. According to the momentum theorem, the force of the water jet on the seabed soil surface is:
[0085] F=ρQu(1-cosθ) (1)
[0086] Where ρ is the density of the jet drilling fluid, in kg / m3 ; Q is the injection displacement, unit is m 3 / s; u is the jet velocity, unit is m / s; θ is the jet return angle, unit is °; F is the total impact force of the jet, unit is N.
[0087] If the water jet angle remains unchanged, the total impact force F of the jet also remains unchanged.
[0088] During the injection process, the momentum of the jet along the way is equal to the total momentum of the jet at the beginning.
[0089]
[0090] Where R0 is the nozzle radius, in meters; u0 is the initial jet velocity at the nozzle position, in meters per second; and J is the fluid momentum, in kg·m / s.
[0091] According to Bernoulli's theorem, the pressure at the nozzle outlet is:
[0092]
[0093] The force within the jet half-width is:

[0099] During the spraying process, the water jet acts on the soil surface. When the jet force is greater than the critical failure pressure of the soil, the soil will fail:
[0100] p b ≥p cr (6)
[0101] Among them, p cr The critical failure pressure of soil can be approximately equal to the shear strength of the soil, unit: Pa;

[0109] The minimum displacement required to meet rock-breaking conditions depends on multiple factors, including the nozzle's equivalent diameter, drilling fluid density, nozzle structure, jet damage range, and soil shear strength. These parameters can be determined through the design of the drill bit and nozzle structure, as well as soil sampling and analysis.
[0110] While ensuring efficient jet drilling operations, it's important to consider the impact of excessive jet flow on the conductor's bearing capacity, preventing prolonged waiting times and possible sinking accidents. Models for the relationship between jet flow and surface conductor running speed, as well as jet flow and surface conductor bearing capacity, determine the upper limit for jet flow and the window for surface conductor rest time.
[0111] According to the soil data and the size of the surface conduit, the surface conduit ultimate bearing capacity calculation model (9) is used to establish the surface conduit ultimate bearing capacity profile.
[0112]
[0113] Considering the influence of injection disturbance and introducing the surface duct bearing capacity reduction coefficient, the real-time bearing capacity calculation model after the surface duct is injected in place can be expressed as:
[0114] F ut =KF u (10)
[0115] Among them, F ut is the real-time bearing capacity of the surface conduit, in N; F u is the ultimate bearing capacity of the surface conduit, in N; L is the depth of the surface conduit into the mud, in m; d o is the outer diameter of the surface conduit, in m; f u —Friction force per unit area of the contact surface between the surface pipe and the soil, in Pa; A—Cross-sectional area of the lower end of the surface pipe, in m 2 ;q u —Ultimate resistance per unit area at the lower end of the surface conduit, in N / m 2 . F ut is the real-time bearing capacity of the surface conduit, in N; K is the reduction coefficient of the injection bearing capacity of the surface conduit, dimensionless.
[0116] During the jetting process, the water jet disturbs the soil, resulting in a decrease in the surface conduit bearing capacity. Based on the jetting volume and the drill bit extension, the surface conduit real-time bearing capacity calculation model (9) is used to determine the surface conduit real-time bearing capacity and establish the surface conduit real-time bearing capacity profile.
[0117]
[0118] In the vertical downward direction, the conduit is subjected to its own weight as well as the weight of the anti-sinking plate, the low-pressure wellhead, and the lower joint of the running tool. The vertical load borne by the surface conduit when the running tool is released is as shown in formula (12):
[0119] G r =λk b L c +W LPWH +W m +W CADA (12)
[0120] Among them, Q0 is the minimum ejection soil breaking and rock carrying displacement, unit is m 3 / min; Q is the injection displacement, d o is the outer diameter of the surface catheter, f u — Friction force per unit area of the contact surface between the surface pipe and the soil, q u —The ultimate resistance per unit area of the lower end of the surface conduit, t2 is the static waiting time of the surface conduit, unit: h. iis the inner diameter of the surface conduit, in m; l is the amount of drill bit extended during the jet installation of the surface conduit, in m.

[0121] The surface conductor rest time from the moment the injection is completed to the moment the delivery tool is released. Combining equations (11) and (12) yields the surface conductor rest time from the moment the injection is completed to the moment the delivery tool is released. Using parameters such as soil data, operating parameters, and surface conductor dimensions, simulations and calculations were performed to obtain real-time bearing capacity recovery curves for the conductor at different times. This safe rest time was determined and used to guide drilling operations in 82 wells on site, without any accidents.
[0122] In the process of jet drilling, the design of jet displacement is a complex process that requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors, including the size of the pipe, the installation depth, the soil parameters and the drill nozzle parameters. In order to ensure the efficiency of the jet and the safety of the operation, the upper and lower limits of the jet displacement are determined based on the principles of fluid mechanics and soil mechanics, such as Figure 3 The upper limit of the jetting displacement is designed to avoid excessive impact on the bearing capacity of the casing, while the lower limit of the jetting displacement is designed to ensure jetting efficiency. The jetting displacement design during surface well construction ensures that the jet drilling process can effectively break up the soil while ensuring the safety of the casing.
[0123] During the jet installation phase of surface well construction, various factors, including drilling parameters and geological conditions, can affect the efficiency of pipe installation. The BP neural network has advantages because it can integrate the influence of multiple factors and is particularly advantageous for calculating the relationship between displacement and mechanical penetration rate. The BP neural network can be designed based on the above formulas (1)-(8).
[0124] The LSTM model can take into account the impact of time series, accurately calculate the recovery of carrying capacity during the waiting process, and determine the shortest waiting time to avoid excessive waiting that wastes energy and emits excessive greenhouse gases, and too short waiting that causes operational safety accidents. The LSTMBP neural network can be designed according to the above formulas (9)-(12).
[0125] The particle swarm optimization algorithm can optimize the coupling effect of displacement on the two stages of jet drilling installation and static waiting, and calculate the optimal solution of the entire jet drilling installation stage and static waiting stage.
[0126] In the design of deepwater surface jetting stage, a model based on BP neural network is established to predict the relationship between drilling displacement and mechanical penetration rate of jet drilling. The calculation principle and route are as follows: Figure 4 shown.
[0127] Drilling and geological parameters were collected, and based on the relationship between drilling rate and ROP, the BP neural network architecture was designed, including the number of neurons in the input, hidden, and output layers. The design of these layers took into account the complexity of the input data and the nonlinear characteristics of the output relationship.
[0128] The BP neural network was trained using the collected data. Through iterative optimization, the network weights were adjusted so that the network output closely matched the relationship between actual drilling rate and ROP. The trained BP neural network was then tested using test data to verify the network's predictive performance. This helped assess the model's reliability and accuracy.
[0129] Finally, in the network optimization stage, the network structure or training parameters were adjusted according to the test results to further improve the prediction accuracy of the network and better adapt to the needs of actual drilling operations.
[0130] When calculating the real-time bearing capacity during the jet drilling wait period, the LSTM method is used to establish a surface bearing capacity recovery curve that takes into account confidence intervals, thereby calculating the static waiting time during the jet drilling wait period. The confidence interval refers to the fact that due to fluctuations and operational errors in the operation, establishing a surface bearing capacity recovery curve within a certain error range can provide a safer static waiting time.
[0131] After collecting jet drilling parameters and waiting times, the LSTM network structure is designed, consisting of an input layer, an LSTM layer, and an output layer. The number of LSTM units and the number of layers within the LSTM layer need to be adjusted based on the specific problem to accommodate the complexity of the data. Because parameters vary across wells, inputs can be tailored to the operational characteristics of each well. The LSTM network is trained using engineering data, and through iterative optimization, the network weights are adjusted to ensure that the network output approximates the actual bearing capacity data. Engineering data can include jet drilling weight, displacement, drill bit parameters, rotational speed, engineering operational parameters, and geological parameters. Geological parameters can include soil shear strength, fracture pressure, loss pressure, bulk density, and friction parameters.
[0132] Based on the prediction results of the LSTM network, confidence intervals for the recovery curve of the surface bearing capacity over time are established to reflect the changing trend of bearing capacity. Based on the bearing capacity recovery curve, the minimum waiting time during jet drilling is determined to ensure the safe bearing capacity of the casing and avoid excessive waiting time that wastes the positioning of the work platform, thereby ensuring safe and efficient deepwater surface well construction operations. Specifically, based on the soil's bearing capacity recovery—that is, the maximum weight that the soil can bear—compared with the downward weight of equipment such as the casing's own weight, the underwater wellhead weight, and the CADA weight (known before the operation), the minimum safe operation time can be determined. This ensures operational safety while minimizing waiting time and energy consumption.
[0133] In order to improve the overall efficiency and safety of jet drilling, the embodiment of this specification uses a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to optimize the displacement combination of the jet drilling installation and static waiting stages. The particle swarm algorithm starts from a random solution, searches for the optimal solution through iteration, uses fitness to evaluate the quality of the solution, and follows the currently searched optimal value to find the global optimum. The mechanical drilling speed increases with the increase in displacement, but if the increase is too large, the waiting time will be too long. Therefore, by considering the combined effects of the drilling period and the waiting period, a suitable displacement is established. The displacement is the main factor that controls and affects the mechanical drilling speed. The calculation principle and route are as follows Figure 5 shown.
[0134] Based on the goal of jet drilling, a fitness function is defined to evaluate the quality of each particle. This fitness function takes into account factors such as jet efficiency, safety, and environmental impact to ensure that the optimization results meet actual needs.
[0135] In one embodiment, the fitness function is:
[0136] f(t)best=t1+t2;
[0137] Among them, f(t)best is the fitness function, which represents the global time, t1 is the time during drilling, and t2 is the waiting time during the waiting period. t1 can be calculated based on the casing running speed in formula (8). Specifically, Where L is the depth of the conduit and v is the speed at which the conduit is lowered. t2 can be calculated using formula (11).
[0138] Based on each particle's historical best position and the global best position, its velocity and position are updated, each particle's new position is evaluated, and its fitness is calculated. If the current particle's fitness is better than its historical best position, the individual best position is updated; if the current particle's fitness is better than the global best position, the global best position is updated. This process iterates until the preset number of iterations or fitness threshold is met.
[0139] Finally, the global optimal position is output, representing the optimal solution for the entire jet drilling installation and standby phases. This optimal solution can guide actual jet drilling operations, improving efficiency and safety. The optimal solution for the entire jet drilling installation and standby phases includes the optimal solutions for the following parameters: jet flow rate and ROP during drilling, drilling time, standby time, and surface casing load capacity.
[0140] In this specific embodiment, three different algorithms, BP neural network, LSTM and particle swarm optimization (PSO), are used to predict the relationship between the drilling displacement and mechanical penetration rate of jet drilling. The three algorithms have similar steps in the data collection and processing stages. They need to collect key parameter data, clean it, process missing values, and normalize or standardize the data to ensure the quality and consistency of the data. In order to provide effective solutions for different data types and analysis requirements, the specific details of the data collection and processing stages are different. The three methods assist and complement each other in prediction, among which the drilling jet displacement is only during drilling, but it will affect the waiting time. Therefore, the BP neural network predicts the drilling displacement and drilling rate, and the LSTM predicts the waiting time and bearing capacity. PSO predicts the global optimal displacement, thereby obtaining the jet displacement, drilling rate, drilling time, static waiting time, and bearing capacity.
[0141] The data collection phase of the BP neural network algorithm involves gathering data on key parameters such as nozzle diameter, drilling fluid density, jet damage range, and soil properties. During the data preprocessing phase, the collected data is cleaned, missing values are addressed, and the data is normalized or standardized to ensure quality and consistency.
[0142] The data collection phase of the LSTM algorithm also involves collecting jet drilling parameter data, primarily time series data and input features that may affect bearing capacity, such as drilling rate and soil properties. This data is cleaned and missing values are processed to prepare for the subsequent use of a proprietary soft-computing system for predicting the bearing capacity recovery of the conductor during the static period of deepwater surface well construction.
[0143] The particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm mainly relies on the above two algorithms and randomly generates a group of particles. Each particle represents a jet drilling scheme, which includes different combinations of jet displacement and static waiting time, providing an initial solution for the PSO algorithm.
[0144] This solution combines machine learning, deep learning, and intelligent optimization methods to provide a comprehensive data-driven solution for drilling operations. By analyzing and mining large amounts of data, the system can automatically identify key factors and provide real-time decision support. The calculation principle and route are as follows: Figure 6 shown.
[0145] During the data acquisition and processing stage, relevant data such as formation parameters and drilling parameters were collected, and pre-processing operations such as cleaning and normalization were performed on these data to improve the accuracy of subsequent analysis.
[0146] When using a BP neural network to predict jet drilling, the number of neurons in the input layer is designed based on the dimensionality of the input data, and the appropriate number of hidden layers and neurons per layer are selected. The number of neurons in the output layer is determined by the type of relationship to be output. The neural network is trained using the collected data, adjusting weights and bias values to ensure that the model accurately reflects the complex, nonlinear relationship between well depth and drilling rate.
[0147] During the LSTM network's prediction phase, the temporal dependencies in the sequence data are captured. Using a model of the duct load-bearing capacity recovery mechanism, the LSTM network is trained using data and calibrated with actual engineering data, enabling it to predict the recovery of duct load-bearing capacity after injection.
[0148] During the PSO-based optimization phase, a set of randomly generated particles is initialized, and the fitness of each particle is calculated based on its performance metrics. Standard genetic algorithm operations, including selection, crossover, and mutation, are performed, and the particle population is iteratively updated to find the global optimal solution.
[0149] Finally, during the results analysis and decision support phase, the optimized jet flow rate and ROP are used to calculate the minimum well construction time and the real-time casing load capacity during the waiting period. These results are fed back into the actual production process to guide drilling operations, thereby improving efficiency and reducing costs.
