Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oilfield drilling, and particularly to an intelligent oilfield drilling system. Background Art
[0002] Oilfield drilling technology has undergone years of development, gradually transitioning from initial mechanical drilling to the modern intelligent drilling stage. Current drilling methods mostly rely on numerical control technology and automated equipment, but there are still many limitations in actual applications. Generally speaking, traditional drilling processes include well design, bit selection, drilling implementation, wellbore stability, etc. In each link, operators often rely on experience and historical data for decision-making, resulting in insufficient utilization of information. In the oilfield drilling industry, with the gradual depletion of resources and the increasing difficulty of exploitation, traditional drilling methods face many challenges. These challenges are mainly reflected in aspects such as drilling accuracy, efficiency, safety, and real-time adaptability. Traditional drilling technologies usually rely on experience and manual judgment, leading to frequent deviations and steering errors in dynamic environments, thus causing a decrease in drilling efficiency and an increase in safety hazards.
[0003] Currently, many drilling systems rely on static models and qualitative analysis, resulting in a large deviation between the theoretical trajectory of the wellbore and the actual situation. Due to the lack of real-time monitoring and prediction capabilities, traditional drilling is prone to downhole deviation. This not only takes time and effort but may also cause equipment damage and safety accidents, increasing additional maintenance and downtime costs. Summary of the Invention

[0044] The data monitoring module is used to collect in real time the downhole environment parameters of the oilfield and the equipment operation parameters for remotely controlling the drilling.
[0045] The data monitoring module includes a multi-source sensing unit, a data transmission unit, and a data preprocessing unit. The multi-source sensing unit is used to collect in real time the downhole environment parameters and synchronously obtain the equipment operation parameters of the drilling.

[0048] All sensors convert analog signals into digital signals through an A / D converter, and an industrial controller is used to synchronously collect various parameters to realize the integration of time-sensitive data.
[0049] The process of preprocessing the downhole environment parameters and the equipment operation parameters includes: An algorithm is adopted to filter the noise of the collected data, identify and remove the measured values that exceed the reasonable range or have anomalies, such as data fluctuations caused by sensor failures or environmental interferences.

[0055] The trajectory prediction module includes a reference trajectory generation unit, an offset prediction unit, and a risk assessment unit. The reference trajectory generation unit is used to construct a three-dimensional drill string dynamics model based on ABAQUS, input the preprocessed operation data, and output the theoretical wellbore trajectory. The offset prediction unit is used to construct a prediction model based on the long short-term memory network, input the preprocessed environment data and real-time trajectory data, and output the predicted offset data of the drilling trajectory.

The risk assessment unit is used to combine the theoretical wellbore trajectory and the predicted offset data using a fusion algorithm to obtain the final predicted trajectory, and use Monte Carlo simulation to quantify the offset risk level of the final predicted trajectory.
[0056] Figure 2 It is a flowchart for obtaining the theoretical wellbore trajectory in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0057] As Figure 2 shown, the process of outputting the theoretical wellbore trajectory includes: Define geometric parameters, which include drill string length, diameter, and material properties.
[0058] According to the geometric parameters, use ABAQUS to establish a physical model of the three-dimensional drill string and match geometric parameters to each part of the physical model. Use ABAQUS software to perform geometric modeling of the three-dimensional model, create the geometric shape of the drill string, including structures such as the drill bit, drill string, and wellbore wall. Input the material properties of the drill string and wellbore wall, including density, elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, etc., so as to ensure that the model can truly reflect the mechanical properties of the materials.
[0059] Apply boundary conditions and loads to the physical model. The boundary conditions include the fixed conditions and contact conditions of the drill string, and the loads include the weight on bit and torque.
[0060] Select a non-linear solver in the physical model and set the solution parameters according to the time step and solution accuracy.
[0061] Start the solver to simulate the dynamic behavior of the drill string and obtain the theoretical wellbore trajectory. Run the ABAQUS finite element simulation, using the explicit dynamic analysis or implicit static analysis method, to calculate the motion characteristics and deformation of the drill string during drilling. Obtain the deformation and stress field distribution of the drill string through numerical simulation, and then calculate the corresponding theoretical wellbore trajectory. After the model operation, output the coordinate data of the theoretical wellbore trajectory, including information such as the wellbore position and inclination angle.
[0062] The process of constructing a prediction model based on the long short-term memory network includes: Collect historical data of the oilfield drilling process. The historical data includes historical environmental data, historical trajectory data, and historical offset data.
[0063] Normalize the historical data and set the time step to construct the normalized data into a time series format.
[0064] Construct the basic long short-term memory network model, define the long short-term memory network structure, including the input layer, LSTM layer, and output layer. The input layer sets the input nodes according to the number of features of the collected data. The LSTM layer adds multiple LSTM units to increase the learning ability of the model and process the time series information. The output layer is set as a fully connected layer to output the predicted offset probability and predicted offset distance.
[0065] Use the environmental data at the current moment and the trajectory data at the current moment in the historical data as the input, and the offset data at the next moment as the output to train the basic model. Retain the model parameters that meet the preset accuracy to obtain the prediction model.
[0066] Train the model through historical data, use the mean squared error as the loss function, and apply the Adam optimization algorithm to adjust the model weights. Evaluate the model performance and adjust the training process through the early stopping method to avoid overfitting.
[0067] Process the input new data with the trained prediction model, output the predicted offset probability and predicted offset distance, and quantify the potential offset of the drilling trajectory.
[0068] The risk assessment unit uses a fusion algorithm to combine the theoretical wellbore trajectory and the predicted offset data to obtain the final predicted trajectory and quantify its offset risk level.
[0069] The theoretical wellbore trajectory is combined with the offset prediction data through fusion algorithms such as the weighted average method or the method based on Bayesian inference to generate the final predicted trajectory. By setting weights, the relative importance of the theoretical trajectory and the prediction result is adjusted to better adapt to the current drilling situation.
[0070] The Monte Carlo simulation method is used to conduct a risk assessment on the final predicted trajectory. By randomly sampling the offset probability, the possible offset situations are repeatedly simulated; According to the simulation results, the probability distribution of deviation from the predetermined trajectory is statistically obtained to evaluate the risk level. The risk level can be quantified into different levels such as low, medium, and high, and a risk report is generated.
[0071] The control optimization module is used to generate a control parameter adjustment scheme according to the final predicted trajectory.
[0072] The control optimization module includes an offset data analysis unit and a control strategy generation unit. The offset data analysis unit is used to analyze the final predicted trajectory by using statistical analysis methods to obtain the offset pattern and offset trend of the drilling trajectory. The control strategy generation unit is used to generate a control parameter adjustment scheme according to the offset pattern and offset trend, and optimize the control parameter adjustment scheme by using the particle swarm algorithm.
[0073] Figure 3 It is the flowchart of the statistical analysis of the final predicted trajectory in the embodiment of the present invention.
[0074] As Figure 3 shown, the process of analyzing the final predicted trajectory by using statistical analysis methods includes: Collect historical trajectories, where the historical trajectories include historical reference trajectories and historical offsets.
[0075] The data smoothing technology is used to process the historical trajectories to remove invalid values and noise.
[0076] Statistically analyze the overall characteristics of the historical offsets, where the overall characteristics include the mean, standard deviation, maximum value, and minimum value.
[0077] Draw a frequency distribution diagram of the historical offsets according to the overall characteristics.
[0078] Use the hierarchical clustering method to classify the historical offsets to obtain the offset patterns, where the offset patterns include normal offsets, abnormal offsets, and periodic offsets.
[0079] According to the frequency distribution diagram, construct an offset trend model based on ARIMA, and analyze the trend of the offset changing with time through time series to obtain the offset trend.
[0080] Determine the control parameters to be adjusted, such as weight on bit, rotary speed, torque, and mud displacement, according to the offset pattern and offset trend. Set preliminary control parameter adjustment rules. For example, if the prediction model shows that too high weight on bit may cause offset, then the weight on bit needs to be reduced.
[0081] Based on the analysis results, formulate a control parameter adjustment plan. Each adjustment should be quantitatively analyzed according to the influence of different offset patterns, such as reflecting the offset trend observed over a certain period of time into the adjustment strategy. If an increase in weight on bit causes offset, then reduce the weight on bit. If too low rotary speed is related to frequent offset, then moderately increase the rotary speed.
[0082] The process of optimizing the control parameter adjustment plan using the particle swarm algorithm includes: Define that each particle represents a possible combination of control parameters, and the control parameters include weight on bit, rotary speed, and angle.
[0083] Randomly generate the positions and velocities of a group of particles. The position represents the combination of control parameters, and the velocity represents the adjustment direction of the combination of control parameters.
[0084] For each particle, conduct fitness evaluation according to the objective function, and the objective function represents the cost function for minimizing the offset.
[0085] Update the velocity and position of each particle within the preset range of control parameters until the preset fitness value is satisfied.
[0086] Output the positions and velocities of the particles that satisfy the preset fitness value, and use the corresponding combination of control parameters and adjustment direction as the control parameter adjustment plan.
[0087] The execution control module is used to execute the control parameter adjustment plan using the PID control algorithm, and adjust the weight on bit - rotary speed matching curve by correcting the orientation tool face angle in real time.
[0088] The execution control module includes a plan execution unit, a feedback detection unit, and a decision - making adjustment unit. The plan execution unit is used to execute the control parameter adjustment plan using the PID control algorithm and adjust the equipment operation parameters in real time. The feedback monitoring unit is used to collect the adjusted equipment operation data in real time. The decision - making adjustment unit is used to dynamically adjust the control parameter adjustment plan according to the equipment operation data and real - time downhole environment data.
[0089] The PID control algorithm consists of three parts: proportional, integral, and derivative, which are used for the immediate response of control parameters, the correction of the system's past errors, and the prediction of future change trends, respectively.
[0090] According to the control parameter adjustment plan provided by the control strategy generation unit, set parameters such as the target weight on bit, rotary speed, and torque.
[0091] During each control cycle, the operation data of equipment such as the weight on bit and rotational speed are collected in real time, and the error between the current output and the set value is calculated. Based on the error value, the PID control signal is calculated.
[0092] The drive control signal of the equipment is adjusted in real time to regulate the weight on bit and rotational speed, ensuring that they can approach the set value in real time. The adjusted control signal is sent to the drilling equipment through the actuator or control interface, and the parameter adjustment is executed.
[0093] Through the multi-source sensing unit, the key operation parameters of the equipment during the drilling process are monitored and captured in real time, such as the current weight on bit, rotational speed, torque, mud displacement, temperature, etc.
[0094] The collected feedback data is sent to the monitoring system in real time through the data transmission unit.
[0095] A real-time monitoring control panel is established to centrally display and record the operation data of each equipment, facilitating the operators to observe, monitor and make real-time analysis.
[0096] The real-time feedback data is stored in the database for subsequent inspection, analysis and data mining. By setting timestamps, it is ensured that all data is traceable.
[0097] Machine learning algorithms are used to evaluate the equipment condition, monitor the feedback data, and conduct real-time analysis in combination with environmental parameters such as temperature and pressure.
[0098] When the monitored equipment parameters (such as the weight on bit and rotational speed) continuously deviate from the design target, the response ability of the evaluation system is evaluated. For example, if the weight on bit is higher than the target value for a long time, the control strategy needs to be re-evaluated and adjusted.
[0099] If the error between the operation data collected in the feedback monitoring unit and the target value continuously exceeds the preset threshold, the decision-making adjustment unit will call the previously set control parameter adjustment plan and make corrections. For example, increase the Kp of the PID control to enhance the system's response ability to the error. The new control parameters are sent to the plan execution unit to adjust the operation parameters of the drilling equipment, forming a closed-loop control process.
[0100] In summary, this embodiment provides an intelligent oilfield drilling system that realizes comprehensive monitoring of the drilling process by collecting downhole environmental parameters and equipment operating status in real time. It can not only obtain key data immediately but also identify potential risks in a timely manner, such as sudden changes in downhole pressure and abnormal temperatures, thus greatly reducing the risk of accidents. Combining finite element analysis of drill string dynamics and long short-term memory network models can accurately predict the deviation of the drilling trajectory. This enables operators to respond in advance, ensuring that the drilling trajectory always remains within a safe and predetermined range, thereby reducing drilling accidents caused by deviations and improving overall safety. By combining the theoretical wellbore trajectory with real-time predicted deviation data, the final predicted trajectory can be generated. A more accurate control parameter adjustment scheme can be generated. The scientific and data-based optimization method can significantly increase the drilling speed and reduce the drilling cost. Through real-time adjustment of intelligent algorithms, the system can quickly and effectively respond to different situations, ensuring the stability and smoothness of the drilling process. This not only improves efficiency but also reduces equipment wear and failure rates, extending the service life of the equipment. By improving the accuracy and efficiency of drilling, reducing accident occurrences and equipment failure frequencies, the drilling cost is optimized as a whole, the drilling cycle is effectively shortened, and the single-well output is increased, thus bringing significant economic benefits.
