Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the application with the application number 202211185913.6, the application date of September 27, 2022, and the invention title "Method for Preventing Pump Blockage during the Startup Process of a Drilling Pump in Oil Drilling Engineering". Technical Field

[0002] The present invention relates to the safety control technology of oil drilling engineering, in particular to a pump pressure protection method for preventing misoperation of a drilling pump, monitoring, and judging whether there will be pump blockage and preventive treatment in oil drilling engineering. Background Art

[0003] In oil drilling engineering, in order to prevent the drilling pump from starting under the condition that the high-pressure valve is closed, resulting in an accident of extreme pump blockage (commonly known as pump jamming), it is an effective safety protection measure to take necessary pump pressure protection measures. However, for the safe and orderly progress of production, the prerequisite for accurate and timely pump pressure protection is to accurately and timely judge whether there is a situation of pump blockage. Whether this monitoring and judgment method is accurate, efficient, and timely directly relates to the timely, efficient, and safe operation of the pump pressure protection system.

[0004] There are many methods for monitoring whether a drilling pump will have pump blockage. As for which one is the safest and most efficient? How to accurately and timely achieve accurate and timely judgment with the lowest cost and the simplest process method? This relates to the life and property safety of the collective and individuals. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously explore to achieve the race against time for safety protection and eliminate potential safety hazards.

[0005] The applicant's previously proposed invention patent "Method for Preventing Misoperation of a Drilling Pump in Oil Drilling Engineering and Its Pump Pressure Protection System" (Patent No.: 201811049380.2) proposed a method for preventing misoperation of a drilling pump in oil drilling engineering. A pressure sensor is installed on each of the drilling pump and the riser. By comparing the difference between the riser pressure and the drilling pump pressure, it is judged whether there is misoperation of the drilling pump. However, in actual application, since the fluid in the pipeline needs to accumulate to a certain extent before the fluid pressure can reach a certain value, and this process takes time. Therefore, judging whether the situation of pump jamming will occur by comparing the changes in the riser pressure and the drilling pump pressure requires a relatively long reaction time, which is not conducive to preventing accidents in the first place.

[0006] Therefore, the applicant has conducted discussions and exploratory attempts on various technical ideas, and the purpose is only one, that is, to achieve timely and accurate pump pressure safety protection and effectively protect the life and property safety of the people.

Detailed Embodiment

[0023] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments in conjunction with the drawings. Embodiment

[0024] As Figure 1 、Figure 2 As shown in Figure 2 , the method for preventing pump choking during the startup process of a drilling pump in the oil drilling engineering of the present invention includes the following steps: Install a pump speed sensor on the drilling pump to collect the operating speed R of the drilling pump, and transmit the rotational speed signal to the controller; install a flow rate sensor on the pipeline downstream of the high-pressure valve to collect the mud flow rate S in the high-pressure pipeline, and transmit the flow rate signal to the controller. When the drilling pump is set to start normally, when the operating speed of the drilling pump is r, the mud flow rate in the high-pressure pipeline is s; when the drilling pump starts, the controller real-time collects the operating speed of the drilling pump and the mud flow rate in the high-pressure pipeline; calculates the operating speed R of the drilling pump and the mud flow rate S in the high-pressure pipeline in real time, and compares them with the operating speed r of the drilling pump and the mud flow rate s in the high-pressure pipeline under the normal startup state to determine whether there is a situation of pump choking in the drilling pump: (1) If R≥r and S≥s, it is determined that the high-pressure valve of the drilling pump is in the open state, and there will be no situation of pump choking, and the drilling pump can start. (2) If R≥r and S<s, it is determined that the high-pressure valve of the drilling pump is in the closed state, and there is a situation of pump choking, and the drilling pump cannot start.

[0025] Logically speaking, when the drilling pump starts, by using the four elements of R, r, S, and s to determine whether there is a situation of pump choking in the drilling pump. In addition to the above two logical combinations, there are the following two logical combinations, namely: (3) If R<r, S<s or S = 0, it is determined that the drilling pump is in the idle state, and this situation is not dangerous. (4) If R<r, but S≥s, it can basically be determined that the sensor is damaged or there is a problem with the drilling pump. Because in real life and production practice, there is no situation where the drilling pump fails to operate normally and outputs a large amount of energy (the fluid being transported will not obtain kinetic energy and flow in the pipeline). Therefore, it can be determined that the sensor is damaged or there is a problem with the drilling pump itself.

[0026] Since the present invention focuses on researching the method for preventing and avoiding pump choking when the drilling pump starts, for the four logical combination judgments of the four elements of R, r, S, and s, only the first two situations are studied here. Embodiment

When the drilling pump is normally started, it is pre-set that when the operating speed of the drilling pump is r (r > 0), the mud pressure in the riser is lp (lp > 0); the controller executes the following program steps to determine whether there is a pump jamming situation in the drilling pump: When the drilling pump starts, collect the operating speed of the drilling pump and the mud pressure in the standpipe in real time; Calculate the operating speed R of the drilling pump and the mud pressure LP in the standpipe in real time, and compare them with the operating speed r of the drilling pump and the mud flow rate lp in the high-pressure pipeline under the normal startup state: (1) If R ≥ r and LP ≥ lp, it is determined that the high-pressure valve of the drilling pump is in the open state, and there will be no situation of pump jamming, and the drilling pump can start; (2) If R ≥ r and LP < lp, it is determined that the high-pressure valve of the drilling pump is in the closed state, and there is a situation of pump jamming, and the drilling pump cannot start.

The process executed by the controller is as follows: 1) When setting the normal startup of the drilling pump, the given voltage control signal of the electric drilling pump is v, and the mud pressure in the riser is lp (lp > 0); 2) When the drilling pump starts up, collect the given voltage control signal of the electric drilling pump and the mud pressure in the riser in real time; 3) Calculate the given voltage control signal V of the electric drilling pump and the mud pressure LP in the riser in real time, and compare them with the given voltage control signal v of the electric drilling pump and the mud pressure lp in the riser under the normal startup state: (1) If V ≥ v and LP ≥ lp, it is judged that the high-pressure valve of the drilling pump is in the open state, and there will be no situation of pump jamming, and the drilling pump can start; (2) If V ≥ v and LP < lp, it is judged that the high-pressure valve of the drilling pump is in the closed state, and there is a situation of pump jamming, and the drilling pump cannot start.
