Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of geological exploration technology, and particularly to a deep-sea drilling and coring system based on seismic while drilling. Background Art

[0002] At present, geological core drilling technologies such as wireline coring are used in hydrate drilling, ocean science drilling, deep-sea mineral drilling, etc. Wireline coring uses a combination of a core barrel and wireline fishing to obtain underground core data in real time, thus providing important data support for studying geological structures, reservoir distributions, evaluating development potential, and engineering geological surveys. Since a wireline is used to lower the coring tool inside the drill string, the drill string from the bit to the top drive is designed to be hollow, making it difficult to apply the logging-while-drilling technology in conventional oil and gas drilling to wireline coring. Therefore, the current wireline coring drilling process is a "blind drilling", that is, there is no logging-while-drilling technology to obtain downhole information in real time to guide drilling, and the overall level of informatization and intelligence is low. As the drilling depth increases, the formation conditions become more complex, and problems such as well collapse, stuck pipe, buried drill, low drilling efficiency, and poor coring quality are likely to occur in the case of "blind drilling".

The terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing the embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0038] Before the embodiments of the present application are described in detail, some related technologies involved in the embodiments of the present application are described first, as follows:

[0039] Currently, in the process of conventional oil and gas exploration and development, the use of seismic while drilling technology can carry out borehole seismic without disturbing the drilling operation, obtaining high-precision formation information within dozens to hundreds of meters near the drill bit, which is used for advanced detection to guide the drilling operation. In wireline coring drilling, downhole motor coring tools convert the energy of drilling fluid into the power for rock breaking during drilling, improving the mechanical drilling rate and the drilling speed.

[0040] Disadvantages of the prior art:

[0041] (1) Conventional oil and gas seismic while drilling mainly includes two technologies, namely bit seismic while drilling and vertical seismic profile while drilling, according to the position of the seismic source. The seismic source of bit seismic while drilling is the vibration during the bit drilling, and the geophones are on the ground. When drilling in relatively soft formations and using polycrystalline diamond compact bits, the seismic wave form of the seismic source is not good, and satisfactory results cannot be obtained. For vertical seismic profile while drilling, the seismic source is a conventional seismic source (such as explosives, air guns, etc.) on the seabed or the sea surface, and the geophones are inside the downhole logging tool while drilling. Due to the requirement of wireline coring tools, it is impossible to install the downhole logging tool while drilling inside the drill string.

[0042] (2) The downhole motor coring tool uses drilling fluid as power and cannot achieve precise control of rotational speed, torque, and drilling pressure, resulting in the inability to adjust drilling parameters in real time according to the formation conditions, and the formation adaptability is poor.

[0043] (3) Conventional wireline coring drilling does not have high-speed communication between the wellhead and the downhole, and does not achieve large closed-loop control between the wellhead and the downhole. The level of automation and intelligent drilling is relatively low, resulting in problems such as poor safety, low operation efficiency, and low coring quality when encountering complex formations.

[0044] Referring to Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present application provides a deep-sea drilling coring system based on seismic while drilling. The deep-sea drilling coring system includes: a coring tool, a drill string assembly, a seismic source sub, an underwater node, a relay station, a deck control station, an umbilical cable, a winch, an underwater robot system, a derrick, a pulley, a top drive, and a drill string;

[0047] The deck control station is communicatively connected to the coring tool through the umbilical cable, and the coring tool is communicatively connected to the seismic source sub;

[0048] The underwater robot system, the underwater node and the relay station are communicatively connected, and the underwater robot system is communicatively connected to the deck control station.

[0056] Optionally, the deck control station is further configured to perform inversion and interpretation based on the preprocessed seismic data to obtain formation information for advanced detection; make a decision based on the formation information for advanced detection to obtain an optimization suggestion for drilling parameters; and control the operation of the coring tool according to the optimization suggestion for drilling parameters.

[0057] Optionally, the underwater robot system includes an underwater robot, a winch system and an onshore control station communicatively connected through a CAN bus.

[0058] Optionally, the relay station and the underwater robot are connected in a wet pluggable manner.

[0059] Optionally, the underwater robot system, the underwater node and the relay station are communicatively connected through a CAN bus;

[0060] The underwater robot system and the deck control station are communicatively connected through a CAN bus.

[0061] Optionally, the coring tool and the source sub are communicatively connected through Bluetooth.

[0062] Optionally, the deck booster cabinet boosts 380V alternating current to a target high voltage, and the deck booster cabinet then transmits the target high voltage to the motor of the coring tool through an optical slip ring and the umbilical cable.

[0063] Optionally, the umbilical cable is an optical and electrical composite cable. The communication through the umbilical cable includes optical fiber communication and adopts the CAN bus communication protocol.

[0064] Next, specific application examples will be combined to introduce and explain the solution of the embodiment of the present application in detail.

[0065] Still referring to Figure 1 , the deep-sea coring system of this embodiment includes a downhole electric coring tool, a downhole seismic source sub, an underwater OBN (Ocean Bottom Node), an underwater relay station, a deck control station, an umbilical cable for the electric coring tool, and a winch. Among them, the ROV (Remote-Operated Vehicle) system (ROV, ROV deployment and recovery system, and ROV surface control station), derrick, pulley, top drive, driller's cabin, etc. are existing equipment on the drilling ship and are the main auxiliary equipment for completing the system functions. The ROV system is used to deploy and recover underwater equipment and provide a communication channel between the underwater equipment and the deck control station. The derrick is used to install the pulley and the top drive, and the top drive is used to raise and lower the drill string. The pulley, the umbilical cable for the electric coring tool, and the winch form a downhole electric coring tool deployment and recovery system.

[0066] The downhole electric coring tool is lowered and seated on the bottom hole assembly through the umbilical cable winch for the electric coring tool and is powered and communicated through the umbilical cable for the electric coring tool; when the coring is completed, it is recovered to the deck surface through the umbilical cable winch.

[0067] The downhole seismic source sub is connected to the bottom hole assembly, and above it is a drill string composed of drill collars, drill pipes, etc. The middle of the drill string is designed to be hollow and can pass through the coring tool and mud. The downhole seismic source sub and the downhole electric coring tool achieve wireless communication through Bluetooth and are powered by batteries. Since the seismic while drilling can detect the front dozens to hundreds of meters in advance and the seismic source energy required for different formations is different, in order to save power and adapt to the formation needs, a controllable excitation is adopted. That is, when it is necessary to detect the formation information in front by seismic while drilling, an excitation seismic source signal is sent from the deck control station to the downhole electric coring tool, and the downhole electric coring tool then forwards it to the downhole seismic source sub through Bluetooth, thereby exciting the seismic source.

[0068] The OBN and relay station are deployed to the seabed by the ROV and both are powered by batteries. The OBN, relay station, and ROV communicate via a wired CAN bus. The relay station and ROV are connected in a wet plug-and-play manner. When the deck control station sends a signal to activate the downhole electric coring tool, it also sends a seismic signal acquisition command to the OBN. The OBN starts to collect seismic data and sends the data to the relay station after collection. The relay station first preprocesses the seismic data collected by the OBN, and the processed data is uploaded to the deck control station through the ROV umbilical cable. At the same time, an original copy of the seismic data collected by the OBN and the preprocessed data are stored locally.

[0069] The deck control station is the control center of the entire system and is installed in the driller's cabin. The main functions of the deck control station include: issuing commands for seismic source activation and seismic acquisition; performing inversion and interpretation on the seismic data collected by the OBN to achieve advanced detection of the drilled formation; at the same time, based on the formation information obtained from the advanced detection, through artificial intelligence control, making intelligent decisions on optimization suggestions for drilling parameters; controlling the downhole electric coring tool for coring operations; and real-time monitoring of the operating status of the entire system.

[0070] As Figure 2 shown, the 380V distribution box on the deck supplies power to the umbilical cable winch for the electric coring tool and the downhole electric coring tool. The downhole electric coring tool needs to boost the 380V alternating current to high voltage through a deck booster cabinet, and then transmit the power to the motor on the downhole electric coring tool through an optical fiber slip ring and the umbilical cable. The deck control station is connected to the umbilical cable winch for the electric coring tool by an optical cable. The umbilical cable is an optical fiber composite cable. Therefore, the communication from the deck control station to the downhole electric coring tool is all fiber optic communication, using the CAN bus communication protocol. The deck control station is connected to the surface ROV control station by an optical cable. The ROV umbilical cable is an optical fiber composite cable. Therefore, the communication from the deck control station to the ROV is all fiber optic communication, using the CAN bus communication protocol. The ROV is connected to the relay station and the OBN by twisted pair, using the CAN bus communication protocol.

[0071] More specifically:

[0072] Step (1): As Figure 3 shown, after the drilling ship has taken its position, use drilling equipment such as the top drive, iron roughneck, pipe racking machine, slips, and power catwalk to connect the bottom hole assembly, downhole seismic source sub, drill collars, drill pipes, etc. into a drill string, lower it to the seabed, and determine the wellhead position.

[0073] Step (2): As Figure 4 shown, use the ROV system to lower and deploy the OBN and relay station to the seabed near the wellhead.

[0074] Step (3): As Figure 5As shown, conventional downhole coring tools are used to conduct drilling and coring until the downhole seismic source sub-section is completely inside the formation.

[0075] Step (4): As Figure 6 shown, lower the downhole electric coring tool to the bottom hole assembly. The driller's control station on the deck sends a seismic source excitation signal to the downhole seismic source sub-section to start seismic operations, and sends a seismic signal acquisition command to the OBN. The downhole seismic source sub-section generates active high-frequency seismic waves, and the OBN collects seismic data. After the collection is completed, the data is sent to the relay station. The relay station first preprocesses the seismic data collected by the OBN, and the processed data is uploaded to the deck control station through the ROV umbilical cable. At the same time, a copy of the original data and preprocessed data collected by the OBN is stored locally.

[0076] The deck control station performs inversion and interpretation on the seismic data collected by the OBN to achieve advanced detection of the drilled formation; at the same time, according to the formation information obtained from the advanced detection, through artificial intelligence control, intelligent decision-making on drilling parameter optimization suggestions is carried out. The driller manipulates the downhole electric coring tool for drilling and coring operations on the deck control station according to the drilling parameter optimization suggestions.

[0077] Step (5): Under the guidance of the seismic while drilling advanced detection, switch the downhole electric coring tool and the conventional downhole coring tool according to the formation information and operation needs to carry out drilling and coring operations, and perform adaptive seismic while drilling advanced detection operations. Repeat the above steps (3) and (4) until the predetermined drilling depth is reached.

[0078] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are:

[0079] It enables large closed-loop control of onshore and offshore geological core drilling such as hydrate drilling, ocean scientific drilling, and deep-sea mineral drilling, and initially has the ability of intelligent drilling. When drilling through complex formations, it no longer drills blindly, greatly reducing the occurrence of accidents such as well collapse, pipe sticking, and drill string burying, and improving the efficiency of drilling and coring operations and the quality of core samples.

[0080] In summary, this embodiment includes the following technical solutions:

[0081] (1) Replace the wire rope with an umbilical cable to achieve power supply and communication for the downhole electric coring tool;

[0082] (2) Achieve controllable excitation of the downhole seismic source through Bluetooth wireless communication;

[0083] (3) Achieve real-time transmission of the downhole seismic source signal through the ROV system;

[0084] (4) Achieve large closed-loop control of onshore and offshore through seismic while drilling detection and the downhole electric coring tool, and initially have the ability of intelligent drilling.

[0085] Compared with the prior art, this embodiment has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0086] (1) The downhole seismic source sub-section can excite seismic waves as needed, solving the problems that the seismic wave form of the drill bit seismic source in the drill-bit seismic-while-drilling technology is not good and satisfactory results cannot be obtained.

[0087] (2) The real-time transmission of downhole seismic source signals is achieved through the ROV system, solving the problems that the communication speed is slow through mud in the vertical seismic profile while drilling technology, and due to the need for wire ropes to deploy coring tools, downhole logging-while-drilling tools cannot be installed in the drill string, etc.

[0088] (3) The umbilical cable is used to replace the wire rope to achieve power supply and communication for downhole electric coring tools.

[0089] (4) Through seismic-while-drilling detection and downhole electric coring tools, large closed-loop control between the surface and the downhole is achieved, and the initial intelligent drilling ability is possessed. When encountering complex formations, "blind drilling" is no longer required, and drilling parameters can be quickly adjusted according to the advanced seismic-while-drilling detection information, greatly reducing the occurrence of accidents such as well collapse, pipe sticking, and drill string burying, and improving the efficiency of drilling and coring operations and the quality of core samples.
