Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of drilling tool management, and in particular to a drilling tool management system with permanent magnetic field bar coding. Background Art

[0002] With the development of oil and gas drilling technology, the drilling depth continues to increase, the types and quantity of drilling tools increase, and the ambient temperature and pressure increase, making drilling tool management more and more challenging. The traditional drilling tool management method is to stamp numbers on the surface of the drilling tools, but this method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and due to wear and rust, long-term use will lead to information loss, making it difficult to carry out long-term and effective coding management of drilling tools.

[0003] In response to the above problems, patent CN1676864A proposes placing an annular carrier carrying information coding content into the drilling tool coupling and reading the information through a detection instrument. This method requires disassembling the coupling for detection and ensuring that the two drill rods connected by the coupling remain unchanged each time, otherwise the information recording will be wrong. In order to simplify the coding and detection methods and realize the online real-time information collection of drilling tools, some scholars have proposed to use radio frequency identification to encode and manage drilling tools. The journal "Development of Petroleum Drilling Tool Management System Based on RFID Technology" proposed to drill holes at the drill bit joint, put in a small RFID tag, and then seal it with epoxy resin. The antenna forms a ring array to read the information of the drilling tool in real time during the operation of drilling. Patent CN107679598A uses a cylindrical electronic carrier and places the electronic carrier on the drilling tool through a threaded connection. The information reader obtains the drilling tool information. Utility Model: CN204440442U, Utility Model: CN203925311U, Utility Model: CN201903901U proposed to embed the RFID tag with drilling tool information into the surface of the drilling tool, and read the drilling tool information through the ring tag at the wellhead. However, due to the limitations of chip circuits and materials, the above RFID tag method cannot adapt to high temperature and high pressure environments, resulting in the failure of the tag to be recognized, causing the failure of the drilling tool management system. In response to the harsh working environment of drilling tools, the journal Directly Printable Frequency Signatured Chipless RFID Tag for IoT Applications proposed a 36-bit chipless radio frequency identification tag. The RFID tag has no chip and is printed on the surface of the substrate using conductive materials. Since this method has no chip, it can adapt to the harsh working environment of drilling tools. However, drilling tools are generally made of metal materials, and chipless RFID tags will face the problem of being unable to be recognized. Therefore, how to manage drilling tools in high temperature and high pressure environments in real time and reliably is still a difficult problem. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the above deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a drill tool management system with a permanent magnetic field bar code, which solves the problems of missing marks and difficult signal acquisition caused by the harsh environment of high temperature and high pressure in the traditional drill tool marking method.

[0005] To achieve the above invention purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a drill tool management system with a permanent magnetic field bar code, including a computer, a high-frequency data collector, a drill tool, a circumferential array sensor, and a permanent magnetic bar code. The computer is connected to the high-frequency data collector, the high-frequency data collector is connected to the circumferential array sensor, and the permanent magnetic bar code is embedded on the surface of the drill tool; The permanent magnetic bar code is used to form different magnetization fields inside the drill tool and in the air. When the drill tool drives the permanent magnetic bar code to move, the permanent magnetic bar code generates magnetic field signals with different intensities and distribution characteristics in the circumferential array sensor; The high-frequency data collector is used to transmit the magnetic field signals collected by the circumferential array sensor to the computer; The computer is used to process and display the magnetic field signals, and realize drill tool management by obtaining the drill tool number.

[0006] Further, the permanent magnetic bar code includes a plurality of bar permanent magnets with different widths, lengths, magnetic directions, and gaps, and the bar permanent magnets are flush with the surface of the drill tool.

[0007] Further, the circumferential array sensor includes a plurality of sensors installed in an array around the drill tool, and there are ≥2 sensors covering the length direction of the permanent magnetic bar code within the length difference range between the longest bar permanent magnet and the shortest bar permanent magnet.

[0008] Further, the magnetic field signals collected by the circumferential array sensor include the length, width, and gap information of the permanent magnetic bar code.

[0009] Further, a drill tool management module is set in the computer. The drill tool management module decodes the acquired magnetic field signals based on the rules of the permanent magnetic bar code. Specifically, it calculates the lengths, widths, and gaps of the bar permanent magnets at different positions according to the number of sensors of the acquired magnetic field signals, the width, and the gap of the magnetic field signals, so as to obtain the coding information, and display and store it.

[0010] Further, the permanent magnetic bar code has an initial mark and an end mark, and the movement direction of the drill tool is judged through the magnetic field signal.

[0011] Further, the permanent magnetic bar code includes drill tool manufacturer, specification model, coding mark, and drill tool direction information.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: (1) The marking is reliable for long-term use and does not affect the operation of the drilling tool or cause any accidents. The invention embeds a permanent magnetic bar code arranged in a certain regular pattern on the drilling tool, in which information such as the manufacturer, material and number can be recorded. Then, the magnetic field signal is read by the circumferential array sensor at the wellhead and read out through decoding, and then identified and managed in the computer. In this way, the drilling tool information can be obtained in real time, efficiently and accurately. In particular, when the drilling tool is inspected, the status changes of drilling tools with different numbers at different times can be recorded in real time, and the drilling tool can be managed throughout its entire use cycle.

[0013] (2) The method of the present invention is used to make drilling tool markings, which has stable performance, low cost, and simple operation. The drilling tool information is encoded through the length, width, and gap of the permanent magnet, and the amount of information data generated by the method of the present invention is large.

[0014] (3) In the method of the present invention, the array sensor, high-frequency data acquisition device and computer all work in a good environment above the well. The permanent magnet is used as a bar code substrate and is embedded in the surface of the drill bit, flush with the surface of the drill bit. During the detection process, the drill bit works in the harsh environment underground. Since the material is metal and the performance is stable, it can withstand high temperature, high pressure, high friction and corrosion environment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The permanent magnetic bar code 5 is embedded in the surface of the drilling tool 1 and flush with it during installation, and the permanent magnet is a metal material, which can be used stably for a long time in a high temperature, high pressure and high friction environment.
