Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oilfield drilling, and in particular to an oilfield intelligent drilling system. Background Art

[0002] Oilfield drilling technology has undergone years of development, gradually transitioning from initial mechanical drilling to modern intelligent drilling. Current drilling methods rely heavily on numerical control technology and automated equipment, but they still have many limitations in practical application. Generally speaking, the traditional drilling process includes well design, drill bit selection, drilling execution, and wellbore stabilization. At each stage, operators often rely on experience and historical data to make decisions, resulting in insufficient information utilization. In the oilfield drilling industry, with the gradual depletion of resources and increasing extraction difficulties, traditional drilling methods face numerous challenges. These challenges primarily manifest in drilling accuracy, efficiency, safety, and real-time adaptability. Traditional drilling techniques often rely on experience and manual judgment, leading to frequent deviations and steering errors in dynamic environments, resulting in reduced drilling efficiency and increased safety risks.

[0003] Many current drilling systems rely on static models and qualitative analysis, resulting in significant discrepancies between theoretical and actual wellbore trajectories. Due to a lack of real-time monitoring and predictive capabilities, traditional drilling is prone to wellbore deviations. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but can also lead to equipment damage and safety incidents, resulting in additional repair and downtime costs. Summary of the Invention

Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] The following combination Figure 1-Figure 3 An intelligent oilfield drilling system according to the present invention is described.

[0050] Figure 1 The diagram is a structural diagram of an intelligent oilfield drilling system provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an oilfield intelligent drilling system, which includes a data monitoring module, a trajectory prediction module, a control optimization module and an execution control module.

[0052] The data monitoring module is used to collect real-time downhole environmental parameters of the oil field and equipment operating parameters for remote control drilling.

[0053] 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 downhole environmental parameters in real time and simultaneously obtain drilling equipment operating parameters. Downhole environmental parameters include temperature, pressure, gamma value, and formation resistivity. Equipment operating parameters include drilling pressure, rotational speed, torque, and mud displacement. The data transmission unit is compatible with multiple communication media and enables data transmission between downhole environmental parameters and equipment operating parameters. The data preprocessing unit is used to preprocess the downhole environmental parameters and equipment operating parameters to obtain preprocessed environmental data and preprocessed operating data.

[0054] Temperature sensors are installed at key locations along the drill string to monitor downhole temperature changes in real time. High-voltage voltage sensors are used to ensure accurate downhole pressure measurement in high-pressure environments. Gamma-ray detectors monitor the radioactive components of the formation, supporting formation characterization. Adaptive resistivity sensors measure the resistivity of the formation through the flow of current to assess fluid saturation.

[0055] A strain gauge sensor, connected between the drill bit and the drill string, reports the applied weight on bit in real time. A rotary encoder monitors the rig's rotational speed in real time to ensure consistency with the current drilling plan. A DC torque sensor records torque feedback from the drill string to assess energy efficiency and wear during drilling. A flow meter measures mud flow to ensure stable mud circulation and prevent blowouts.

[0056] All sensors convert analog signals into digital signals through A / D converters, and use industrial controllers to synchronously collect various parameters to achieve the integration of timely data.

[0057] The process of preprocessing downhole environmental parameters and equipment operating parameters includes:

[0058] Algorithms are used to filter noise from the collected data, identifying and removing measurements that are outside a reasonable range or have anomalies, such as data fluctuations caused by sensor failure or environmental interference.

[0059] Calibrate the output of various sensors to ensure that the data signals meet engineering standards and convert them into corresponding engineering units.

[0060] The synchronization technology based on the drilling depth counter is used to align the downhole environmental parameters and equipment operating parameters in time and space to generate a time-space synchronized multidimensional data set.

[0061] Wavelet transform and principal component analysis are used to extract features and reduce dimensionality of multidimensional data sets to obtain feature vector matrices.

[0062] Z-score standardization is used to standardize each parameter column in the eigenvector matrix to obtain preprocessing environment data and preprocessing operation data.

[0063] The trajectory prediction module is used to construct a physical model based on finite element analysis of drill string dynamics to generate a theoretical wellbore trajectory, build a prediction model based on long-short-term memory network to obtain drilling trajectory prediction offset data, and combine the theoretical wellbore trajectory and predicted offset data to obtain the final predicted trajectory.

[0064] The trajectory prediction module includes a baseline trajectory generation unit, an offset prediction unit, and a risk assessment unit. The baseline trajectory generation unit is used to construct a three-dimensional drill string dynamics model based on ABAQUS, taking preprocessed operational data as input and outputting a theoretical wellbore trajectory. The offset prediction unit is used to construct a prediction model based on a long-short-term memory network, taking preprocessed environmental data and real-time trajectory data as input and outputting predicted offset data for the drilling trajectory, including the predicted offset probability and predicted offset distance. The risk assessment unit uses a fusion algorithm to combine the theoretical wellbore trajectory and predicted offset data to obtain the final predicted trajectory. Monte Carlo simulation is then used to quantify the offset risk level of the final predicted trajectory.

[0065] Figure 2 This is a flow chart for obtaining theoretical wellbore trajectory in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0066] like Figure 2 As shown in Figure 2, the process of outputting theoretical wellbore trajectory includes:

[0067] Define geometric parameters, including drill string length, diameter, and material properties.

[0068] Based on the geometric parameters, a 3D physical model of the drill string was created using ABAQUS, with geometric parameters assigned to each component within the physical model. ABAQUS software was used to perform geometric modeling of the 3D model, creating the geometry of the drill string, including the drill bit, drill string, and wellbore wall. Material properties for the drill string and wellbore wall, including density, elastic modulus, and Poisson's ratio, were input to ensure the model accurately reflected the mechanical properties of the materials.

[0069] Boundary conditions and loads are applied to the physical model. The boundary conditions include the fixed conditions and contact conditions of the drill string, and the loads include bit pressure and torque.

[0070] Select a nonlinear solver in the physical model and set the solution parameters based on the time step and solution accuracy.

[0071] The solver is launched to simulate the dynamic behavior of the drill string and obtain the theoretical wellbore trajectory. An ABAQUS finite element simulation is run, using either explicit dynamic analysis or implicit static analysis methods to calculate the drill string's kinematic characteristics and deformation during drilling. Numerical simulations are used to determine the drill string's deformation and stress field distribution, which are then used to calculate the corresponding theoretical wellbore trajectory. After the model is run, the coordinate data for the theoretical wellbore trajectory is output, including information such as wellbore position and inclination angle.

[0072] The process of building a prediction model based on LSTM networks includes:

[0073] Collect historical data of the oilfield drilling process, including historical environment data, historical trajectory data and historical offset data.

[0074] Normalize the historical data and set the time step to construct the normalized data into a time series format.

[0075] Build a basic LSTM network model and define its structure, including an input layer, an LSTM layer, and an output layer. The input layer sets input nodes based on the number of features in the collected data. The LSTM layer adds multiple LSTM units to increase the model's learning capabilities and process time series information. The output layer is set as a fully connected layer, outputting the predicted offset probability and predicted offset distance.

[0076] The current moment environmental data and current moment trajectory data in the historical data are used as input, and the next moment offset data is used as output. The basic model is trained, and the model parameters that meet the preset accuracy are retained to obtain the prediction model.

[0077] The model is trained using historical data, using mean squared error as the loss function and applying the Adam optimization algorithm to adjust model weights. Model performance is evaluated and the training process is adjusted using early stopping to avoid overfitting.

[0078] The trained prediction model is used to process the new input data, output the predicted deviation probability and predicted deviation distance, and quantify the potential deviation of the drilling trajectory.

[0079] The risk assessment unit uses a fusion algorithm to combine the theoretical wellbore trajectory and predicted deviation data to obtain the final predicted trajectory and quantify its deviation risk level.

[0080] Fusion algorithms, such as weighted averaging or Bayesian inference, combine theoretical wellbore trajectories with offset prediction data to generate the final predicted trajectory. By setting weights, the relative importance of the theoretical trajectory and the predicted results is adjusted to better suit the current drilling situation.

[0081] Monte Carlo simulation is used to assess the risk of the final predicted trajectory. By randomly sampling the excursion probability, possible excursion scenarios are repeatedly simulated.

[0082] Based on the simulation results, the probability distribution of deviations from the planned trajectory is calculated to assess the degree of risk. The risk level can be quantified into different levels such as low, medium, and high, and a risk report can be generated.

[0083] The control optimization module is used to generate a control parameter adjustment plan based on the final predicted trajectory.

[0084] The control optimization module includes a deviation data analysis unit and a control strategy generation unit. The deviation data analysis unit uses statistical analysis methods to analyze the final predicted trajectory to obtain the deviation pattern and deviation trend of the drilling trajectory. The control strategy generation unit generates a control parameter adjustment plan based on the deviation pattern and deviation trend and optimizes the control parameter adjustment plan using a particle swarm algorithm.

[0085] Figure 3 4 is a flow chart of performing statistical analysis on the final predicted trajectory in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0086] like Figure 3 As shown in Figure 2, the process of analyzing the final predicted trajectory using statistical analysis methods includes:

[0087] Collect historical trajectories, including historical baseline trajectories and historical offsets.

[0088] Data smoothing technology is used to process historical trajectories and remove invalid values ​​and noise.

[0089] Statistical history offset overall characteristics, including the average, standard deviation, maximum and minimum values.

[0090] Plot the frequency distribution of historical offsets based on population characteristics.

[0091] Hierarchical clustering method is used to classify historical offsets and obtain offset patterns, which include normal offset, abnormal offset and periodic offset.

[0092] According to the frequency distribution diagram, an ARIMA-based offset trend model is constructed, and the offset trend is obtained by analyzing the trend of offset changes over time through time series analysis.

[0093] Based on the deviation pattern and trend, determine which control parameters need to be adjusted, such as weight on bit, rotational speed, torque, and mud displacement. Set preliminary control parameter adjustment rules. For example, if the prediction model indicates that excessive weight on bit may cause deviation, the weight on bit should be reduced.

[0094] Based on the analysis results, develop a plan for adjusting control parameters. Each adjustment should be quantitatively analyzed based on the impact of different drift patterns. For example, the drift trends observed over a period of time should be reflected in the adjustment strategy. If increased WOB causes drift, reduce WOB. If low RPM is associated with frequent drift, increase RPM appropriately.

[0095] The process of optimizing the control parameter adjustment scheme using the particle swarm algorithm includes:

[0096] It is defined that each particle represents a possible combination of control parameters, including bit weight, rotation speed and angle.

[0097] Randomly generate a set of particle positions and velocities, where the position represents the control parameter combination and the velocity represents the adjustment direction of the control parameter combination.

[0098] For each particle, the fitness is evaluated according to the objective function, which represents the cost function that minimizes the offset.

[0099] Update the speed and position of each particle within the preset control parameter range until the preset fitness value is met.

[0100] The position and velocity of the particle that meets the preset fitness value are output, and the corresponding control parameter combination and adjustment direction are used as the control parameter adjustment scheme.

[0101] The execution control module is used to implement the control parameter adjustment plan using the PID control algorithm and adjust the drilling pressure-speed matching curve by correcting the steering tool face angle in real time.

[0102] The execution control module includes a plan execution unit, a feedback detection unit, and a decision adjustment unit. The plan execution unit uses a PID control algorithm to execute the control parameter adjustment plan and adjust equipment operating parameters in real time. The feedback monitoring unit collects real-time equipment operating data after adjustment. The decision adjustment unit dynamically adjusts the control parameter adjustment plan based on equipment operating data and real-time downhole environmental data.

[0103] The PID control algorithm consists of three parts: proportional, integral and differential, which are used for the immediate response of control parameters, correction of past errors of the system and prediction of future change trends.

[0104] According to the control parameter adjustment plan provided by the control strategy generation unit, set the target drilling pressure, speed and torque parameters.

[0105] During each control cycle, real-time data on equipment operation, such as drilling pressure and rotational speed, is collected and the error between the current output and the set value is calculated. Based on this error, a PID control signal is generated.

[0106] Adjust the equipment's drive control signals in real time to adjust the drilling pressure and speed to ensure they approach the set values ​​in real time. The adjusted control signals are sent to the drilling equipment via the actuator or control interface, and parameter adjustments are executed.

[0107] Through multi-source sensing units, key operating parameters of the equipment during the drilling process, such as current drilling pressure, speed, torque, mud displacement, temperature, etc., are monitored and captured in real time.

[0108] The collected feedback data is sent to the monitoring system in real time through the data transmission unit.

[0109] Establish a real-time monitoring control panel to centrally display and record the operating data of various equipment, making it convenient for operators to observe, monitor and make real-time analysis.

[0110] Store real-time feedback data in a database for subsequent inspection, analysis, and data mining. Set timestamps to ensure that all data is traceable.

[0111] Use machine learning algorithms to assess equipment conditions, monitor feedback data, and combine it with environmental parameters such as temperature and pressure for real-time analysis.

[0112] Evaluate the system's responsiveness when monitored equipment parameters, such as WOB and RPM, consistently deviate from their design targets. For example, if WOB remains above target for a prolonged period, reassess the control strategy and make adjustments.

[0113] If the error between the operating data collected by the feedback monitoring unit and the target value continues to exceed a preset threshold, the decision-making and adjustment unit will invoke a previously set control parameter adjustment plan and make corrections. For example, increasing the Kp of the PID control to improve the system's responsiveness to errors. The new control parameters are then sent to the plan execution unit to adjust the drilling equipment's operating parameters, forming a closed-loop control process.

[0114] In summary, this embodiment provides an intelligent oilfield drilling system that enables comprehensive monitoring of the drilling process through real-time acquisition of downhole environmental parameters and equipment operating status. This system not only instantly captures critical data but also promptly identifies potential risks, such as sudden changes in downhole pressure and abnormal temperatures, significantly reducing the risk of accidents. By combining finite element analysis of drill string dynamics with a long-short-term memory network model, it accurately predicts drilling trajectory deviations. This enables operators to proactively respond and ensure the drilling trajectory 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, a final predicted trajectory is generated. This allows for more precise control parameter adjustment plans. This scientific, data-driven optimization method significantly increases drilling speed and reduces drilling costs. Through real-time adjustments using intelligent algorithms, the system can quickly and effectively respond to various situations, ensuring a stable and smooth drilling process. This not only improves efficiency but also reduces equipment wear and failure rates, extending equipment life. By improving drilling accuracy and efficiency, reducing accidents and equipment failure frequency, the overall drilling cost is optimized, the drilling cycle is effectively shortened, and the single well production is increased, thus bringing significant economic benefits.
