Detailed Embodiment

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following further elaborates on the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] The prior art (CN107269260B) provides a dual-driller integrated control terminal for an oil rig that is mutually redundant, including a main driller control terminal, an assistant driller control terminal, and a common operation console; the mechanical interfaces and control parts of the main driller control terminal and the assistant driller control terminal are completely the same, mutually redundant, and mutually backup, and the switching is achieved through a mode switching multi-position switch and the control part in the background; the main driller control terminal is used for the control of the drawworks, top drive, mud pump, cathead, and elevators; the assistant driller control terminal is used for the control of the catwalk, iron roughneck, and pipe handler; the common operation console is an operation console shared by the two drillers, including voice communication equipment and a control knob for the windshield wiper in the driller's cabin.

[0029] The objective of the prior art (CN107269260B) is to make an intelligent improvement to the driller's console and achieve redundant settings for the main and assistant driller's consoles. However, the prior art (CN107269260B) does not disclose a low-position remote control center on the ground for the main and assistant driller's consoles, nor does it disclose that the driller's console can real-time sense the drilling conditions of the drill floor and the entire well site.

[0030] The prior art (CN105545280B) provides a system and device for integrated control of a drilling operation process. The No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 industrial machines of the system are respectively connected to the main driller CPU and the assistant driller CPU through the NET network. The main driller CPU and the assistant driller CPU are connected by a connection network coupler. The main driller CPU is respectively connected to a valve island remote station, a host controller, a top drive controller, an instrument controller, and an automatic pipe feeding controller through BUS1 and the No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 network couplers of the main driller. The assistant driller CPU is respectively connected to a catwalk controller, a pipe racking controller, and an iron roughneck controller through BUS2 and the No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 network couplers of the assistant driller.

[0031] The prior art (CN105545280B) discloses the dual-driller setting mode of the main driller and the assistant driller, and also discloses the valve island remote station. However, the valve island remote station in the prior art (CN105545280B) cannot perceive the drilling conditions on the drill floor and the entire well site in real time, and it does not disclose that the main driller and the assistant driller are set in a remote control center at a lower position.

[0032] The prior art (CN111279050B) provides a well planning system, including: receiving a digital well plan; issuing drilling instructions for drilling a well at least partially based on the digital well plan; comparing the acquired information associated with the drilled well with the well plan information of the digital well plan; and outputting a result at least partially based on the comparison between the acquired information and the well plan information.

[0033] The prior art (CN111279050B) mentions one or more drillers. However, the prior art (CN111279050B) does not disclose that one or more drillers are set in a remote control center at a lower position.

[0034] The prior art (US11560683B2) provides a bottom-supported drilling device, which has two drilling stations for simultaneously and independently drilling (or otherwise operating) two wells from a cantilever. Figure 2 The combined driller's cabin design layout 501 is used to control the first and second drilling stations 410. Generally, each drilling station has a designated operating station, including a dedicated operator seat and a human-machine interface connected to the corresponding control system of the corresponding drilling station. As Figure 3 As shown in FIGS. 4, separating the driller's cabins of the first and second drilling stations reduces the risk of interference between the operations of the two drilling stations.

[0035] The prior art (US11560683B2) discloses multiple driller's cabins. However, the prior art (US11560683B2) does not disclose that the driller's cabin contains multiple driller's consoles, nor does it disclose that the driller's cabin is set in a remote control center at a lower position.

[0036] In summary, the driller's console (driller's desk) of the above prior art is set in the driller's cabin on the drill floor, unable to perceive the drilling process of the drill floor and the entire well site in real time, and the driller's desk is set on the high-risk drill floor, which may pose a safety hazard to the personnel controlling the driller's desk.

[0037] In view of the above defects of the prior art, the present invention sets a low-position remote control center 1 on the well site ground, sets a dual-driller's desk including a main driller's desk 11 and a deputy driller's desk 12 in the low-position remote control center 1, and can perceive the drilling conditions of the drill floor and the entire well site in real time through various sensing devices of the data center 2, and can also enable the personnel controlling the driller's desk to stay away from the high-risk area of the drill floor.

[0038] Figure 1 Shows a structural block diagram of a low-position dual-driller rig control system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0039] As Figure 1 shown, a low-position dual-driller rig control system includes: a low-position remote control center 1 and a data center 2.

[0040] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the low-position remote control center 1 is provided with a dual-driller's desk for realizing driller operations, wherein the dual-driller's desk includes a main driller's desk 11 and a deputy driller's desk 12. Specifically, both the main driller's desk 11 and the deputy driller's desk 12 support the completion of all driller operations, improving the applicability and error tolerance ability of the system operation.

[0041] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the data center 2 is connected to the low-position remote control center 1, and is used for collecting the drilling conditions of the drill floor and the entire well site to obtain real-time engineering parameters, and transmitting the real-time engineering parameters to the low-position remote control center 1.

[0042] In one embodiment, the low-position remote control center 1 is set on the well site ground. Further, the dual-driller's desk does not have physical buttons, and is configured with at least 2 touch display screens 13 and 2 control handles 14.

[0043] In one embodiment, 8 19-inch touch display screens 13 and 4 control handles 14 will be deployed in front of the dual-driller seats, and all physical buttons will be cancelled.

[0044] It should be noted that the configured quantities of the touch display screens 13 and the control handles 14 can be adaptively set and improved in actual applications, and the present invention does not limit the configured quantities of the touch display screens 13 and the control handles 14.

[0045] In one embodiment, the driller operation is divided into an automatic mode and a manual mode.

[0046] Specifically, the driller's operation includes an automatic mode, in which the automatic mode is divided into: automatic drilling, automatic pipe pulling, automatic pipe running, automatic stand building, automatic stand dumping, and automatic casing running according to the drilling conditions.

[0047] Furthermore, the automatic mode is divided into 6 processes according to the drilling conditions: automatic drilling, automatic pipe pulling, automatic pipe running, automatic stand building, automatic stand dumping, and automatic casing running. The driller engineer only needs to input basic drilling parameters on the touch display screen 13, such as: rotary speed, pump pressure, etc., and select the required automatic process, and all equipment will automatically execute according to the process without manual intervention.

[0048] Specifically, the driller's operation includes a manual mode, in which the manual mode is to analyze the type of complex situation based on real-time engineering parameters and perform preliminary emergency disposal when complex or emergency situations occur, and at the same time issue alarms and treatment suggestions to guide personnel to perform the next process.

[0049] Furthermore, the manual mode means that when complex or emergency situations occur, the system will analyze the type of complex situation and perform preliminary emergency disposal, and at the same time issue alarms and treatment suggestions to guide personnel to perform the next process.

[0050] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the data center 2 includes: a video acquisition device 21, which is set in the well site to achieve full coverage of video acquisition within the well site. Specifically, 19 cameras are deployed throughout the well site, and the video of the entire well site is covered through video stitching.

[0051] It should be noted that the configuration quantity of cameras within the well site can be adaptively set and improved in actual applications, and the present invention does not limit the configuration quantity of cameras.

[0052] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the data center 2 includes: a digital twin module 22, which characterizes the current device status information through the dynamic change of the 3D model. Specifically, the digital twin technology is adopted, and the current device status information is expressed through the dynamic change of the 3D model, and the twin mode is displayed in real time on the information display screen (data display screen 15) of the low-position remote control center 1.

[0053] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, a low-position double-driller rig control system further includes: a transmission ring network 3, which includes a fiber optic redundant ring network deployed throughout the well site, and all equipment within the well site is connected to the ring network through a redundant switch to achieve equipment data acquisition. Specifically, a fiber optic redundant ring network is deployed throughout the well site, and all equipment is connected to the ring network through a redundant switch. A control master station is deployed inside the remote control center 1 to obtain data information, and the data transmission speed ≤ 100ms.

[0054] In summary, in the present invention, the low-position remote control center 1 will sense the drilling conditions of the drill floor and the entire well site in three ways:

[0055] (1) Deploy 19 cameras throughout the well site to achieve full well-site coverage of the video through video stitching;

[0056] (2) Adopt digital twin technology to express the current device status information through the dynamic change of the 3D model, and the twin mode is displayed on the information screen of the remote control center in real time;

[0057] (3) Deploy a fiber optic redundant ring network throughout the well site. All devices are connected to the ring network through redundant switches. A control master station is deployed inside the remote control center to obtain data information, and the data transmission speed ≤ 100 ms.

[0058] Figure 2 Shows a schematic structural diagram of a low-position remote control center according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0059] The layout diagram of the low-position control center 1 is as Figure 2 shown. Inside the low-position control center 1, a main driller's console 11, an assistant driller's console 12, a touch display screen 13, a control handle 14, a data display screen 15, main and assistant driller workbenches 16, a printer 17 are provided, and an air-conditioned room and an electrical room are also provided. Specifically, the low-position control center 1 supports overall handling and transportation, facilitating movement between different well sites.

[0060] Furthermore, 3 main and assistant driller workbenches 16 are provided inside the low-position control center 1, supporting 6 workers to work simultaneously. It should be noted that the configured quantity of the main and assistant driller workbenches 16 can be adaptively set and improved in actual applications, and the present invention does not limit the configured quantity of the main and assistant driller workbenches 16.

[0061] Figure 3 Shows a step flowchart of a low-position dual-driller rig control method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0062] According to another aspect of the present invention, there is also provided a low-position dual-driller rig control method, which is executed by a low-position dual-driller rig control system.

[0063] As Figure 3 shown, in step S31, the driller operation is realized through the low-position remote control center 1, wherein the low-position remote control center 1 is provided with a dual-driller console, and the dual-driller console includes a main driller's console 11 and an assistant driller's console 12.

[0064] As Figure 3As shown, in step S32, the data center 2 connected to the lower-level remote control center 1 collects the drilling conditions of the drill floor and the entire well site to obtain real-time engineering parameters, and transmits the real-time engineering parameters to the lower-level remote control center 1.

[0065] A lower-level dual-driller rig control system provided by the present invention can also cooperate with a computer-readable storage medium on which a computer program is stored. Executing the computer program runs a lower-level dual-driller rig control method. The computer program can run computer instructions, and the computer instructions include computer program code, which can be in the form of source code, object code, executable file, or some intermediate form, etc.

[0066] The computer-readable storage medium can include: any entity or device capable of carrying computer program code, recording medium, USB flash drive, mobile hard disk, magnetic disk, optical disc, computer memory, read-only memory (ROM, Read-Only Memory), random access memory (RAM, Random Access Memory), electrical carrier signal, telecommunication signal, and software distribution medium, etc.

[0067] It should be noted that the content included in the computer-readable storage medium can be appropriately increased or decreased according to the requirements of legislation and patent practice in the jurisdiction. For example, in some jurisdictions, according to legislation and patent practice, the computer-readable storage medium does not include electrical carrier signals and telecommunication signals.

[0068] In summary, the present invention provides a lower-level dual-driller rig control system, which has the following advantages compared with the prior art: The present invention sets a lower-level remote control center 1 on the well site ground, and sets the dual-driller floor including the main driller floor 11 and the assistant driller floor 12 in the lower-level remote control center 1. Through various sensing devices of the data center 2, the drilling conditions of the drill floor and the entire well site can be sensed in real time, and the driller floor control personnel can also be kept away from the high-risk area of the drill floor.
