TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of mud proportioning, and more particularly to an intelligent proportioning and dynamic purification circulation system for seawater-based environmentally-friendly mud. BACKGROUND
[0002] In marine engineering operations such as offshore oil and gas drilling and offshore geological exploration, mud, as the "blood" of drilling operations, plays a key role in cooling the drill bit, carrying cuttings, balancing formation pressure, and protecting the wellbore. To solve the above problems, seawater-based environmentally-friendly mud has gradually become a research hotspot.
[0003] However, the seawater-based environmentally-friendly mud has the following deficiencies in the preparation process:
[0004] The performance of seawater-based mud is significantly affected by the dynamic fluctuations of seawater quality, and the salt concentration of seawater in different sea areas fluctuates dramatically. High-salt environments can weaken the colloidal stability of core components such as bentonite, causing a sudden drop in mud viscosity and failure of suspension. At the same time, drilling parameters such as drilling displacement, borehole diameter, and mud circulation pressure also affect the proportioning of mud. However, existing technologies rely on manual setting of fixed proportions based on past experience, and cannot adapt to the dynamic changes in seawater quality and drilling conditions in real time, often resulting in substandard mud performance, which can reduce cuttings carrying efficiency and increase drill tool wear, or even cause wellbore collapse, lost circulation, and other safety accidents, seriously affecting the continuity and safety of drilling operations.
[0005] Therefore, an intelligent proportioning and dynamic purification circulation system for seawater-based environmentally-friendly mud is proposed. SUMMARY

[0016] Based on the comparison result of the corrected concentration and the initial concentration, the salt-resistant agent supplement or reduction amount is determined, that is, by the formula ; wherein M represents the total mass of the current mud, respectively represent the salt-resistant agent supplement and the salt-resistant agent reduction; respectively represent the corrected concentration and the initial concentration.
[0017] Specifically, the process of determining the ratio of the tackifier in step S1 is as follows:
[0018] The mean values of the drilling displacement and the mud circulating pressure in the set window are calculated as the displacement evaluation value and the pressure evaluation value, respectively.

[0025] The similarity of the base case is analyzed, and the difference degree analysis case is selected;
[0026] The total amount of the salt-resistant agent and the total amount of the thickening agent finally determined in the difference degree analysis case are extracted, denoted as e1 and e2, and the total amount of the salt-resistant agent and the total amount of the thickening agent determined after the current trigger adjustment signaling are denoted as e3 and e4, and the salt-resistant agent difference rate and the thickening agent difference rate are calculated by and
[0027] The preset salt-resistant agent difference rate and the thickening agent difference rate respectively correspond to the allowed difference rate, and if there is a certain group of difference rates between the salt-resistant agent difference rate and the thickening agent difference rate higher than the corresponding preset allowed difference rate, the difference signaling is triggered to the technician.
[0028] Specifically, for the current salinity evaluation value, displacement evaluation value, wellbore diameter, and pressure evaluation value, normalization processing is respectively performed, and denoted as G1, G2, G3, and G4;
[0029] For each group of base similar case performance data in seawater salinity, drilling displacement, borehole diameter and mud circulating pressure, after normalization, R1, R2, R3 and R4 are recorded respectively;
[0030] The formula is used to calculate the similarity of each group of base similar cases hi is the weight coefficient corresponding to seawater salinity, drilling displacement, borehole diameter and mud circulating pressure;
[0031] The preset similarity threshold corresponding to the case similarity is used to filter out the base similar cases less than the similarity threshold, and the base similar case with smaller case similarity is selected from the filtering result as the difference analysis case.
[0032] Specifically, if the salt-resistant agent difference rate and the thickening agent difference rate are both lower than the corresponding preset allowable difference rate, the additive amount ratio in the preparation of seawater-based environmentally friendly mud is adjusted based on the determined salt-resistant agent supplement amount or salt-resistant agent reduction amount, thickening agent supplement amount.
[0033] Specifically, the purification process of the waste mud is dynamically adjusted, specifically:
[0034] The sand content of the waste mud in the current set time zone is extracted, the sand content at each time point in the current set time zone is averaged to obtain the sand content average, and three groups of range intervals corresponding to the sand content average are pre-constructed, including a light sand content interval, a moderate sand content interval and a severe sand content interval.
[0035] The sand content average of the current set time zone is matched with the corresponding range interval, and the light sand content interval, the moderate sand content interval and the severe sand content interval are set to correspond to one sand purification adjustment strategy respectively, and after adjusting the corresponding equipment based on the matched sand purification adjustment strategy, the purification application strategy of the next set time zone is determined.

[0040] Figure 1 The intelligent ratio and dynamic purification circulation system of seawater-based environmentally friendly mud. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0041] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the present application.
[0042] EMBODIMENT
[0043] As shown in Figure 1 , the intelligent ratio and dynamic purification circulation system of seawater-based environmentally friendly mud includes an intelligent ratio module, a mud circulation module, a dynamic purification module, a data monitoring module and an intelligent control module.
[0044] The intelligent proportioning module mixes and stirs the pretreated seawater and the mud additive according to a preset proportion to prepare the seawater-based environmentally-friendly mud;
[0045] The components used in the proportioning process include an additive storage tank, a metering pump, a mixing and stirring tank, and a heating and insulation device. The additive storage tank is used to store bentonite, a filtration-reducing agent, a viscosity-increasing agent, a salt-resistant agent, and an environmentally-friendly lubricant. The metering pump is used to accurately control the delivery amount of the pretreated seawater and each additive. The mixing and stirring tank is provided with a stirrer and a temperature sensor. The heating and insulation device is used to maintain the temperature in the mixing and stirring tank stable.
[0046] It is to be further stated that the specific process of pretreatment is as follows:
[0047] The seawater is filtered, impurities are removed, and the pH value is adjusted by using the sequentially connected coarse filter device, fine filter device, algae removal device, and pH adjustment device to remove solid impurities, plankton, and part of harmful ions in the seawater. The seawater first enters the coarse filter device to remove solid impurities with a particle size greater than 100-200 μm. Then, the seawater enters the fine filter device to remove fine impurities with a particle size of 10-50 μm. Next, the seawater enters the algae removal device to remove plankton and algae in the seawater by using ultraviolet sterilization and algae removal technology. Finally, the seawater enters the pH adjustment device to adjust the pH value of the seawater to 7.5-8.5 by adding sodium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid solution to obtain pretreated seawater.
[0048] The mud circulation module delivers the prepared seawater-based environmentally-friendly mud to the drilling operation site and recycles the waste mud after drilling operation.
[0049] The components used in the delivery and recycling process include a mud delivery pump, a mud pipeline, a drilling fluid pool, and a backflow pipeline. The mud pipeline is provided with a flow control valve. The drilling fluid pool is used to temporarily store part of the seawater-based environmentally-friendly mud.
[0050] The dynamic purification module performs graded purification treatment on the recycled waste mud to remove cuttings, sand particles, colloidal particles, and part of harmful pollutants in the waste mud to obtain renewable mud.
[0051] The components used in the purification process include a vibrating screen, a sand remover, a mud remover, a centrifuge, and a membrane separation device connected in sequence. The vibrating screen is used to remove large-diameter cuttings in the waste mud. The sand remover is used to remove sand particles with a particle size of 2-74 μm. The mud remover is used to remove argillaceous particles with a particle size of 1-2 μm. The centrifuge is used to separate colloidal particles and part of free water in the waste mud. The membrane separation device uses salt-resistant ultrafiltration membranes to remove small particles, colloids, and part of organic pollutants in the mud.
[0052] Data monitoring module: real-time acquisition of seawater salinity and drilling operation parameters during the preparation of seawater-based environmentally friendly mud, and the sand content parameters of the waste mud during the purification process, so as to build a monitoring data package; the drilling operation parameters include drilling displacement, wellbore diameter and mud circulating pressure;
[0053] Intelligent control module: after comprehensive processing of the monitoring data package according to the preset algorithm, the additive ratio during the preparation of seawater-based environmentally friendly mud and the purification process of waste mud are dynamically adjusted;
[0054] The specific steps of dynamically adjusting the additive ratio during the preparation of seawater-based environmentally friendly mud are as follows:
[0055] S1: the additives include tackifiers and salt-resistant agents, wherein the ratio adjustment of the salt-resistant agents is determined by analyzing the seawater salinity through the preset algorithm; the ratio adjustment of the tackifiers is determined by analyzing the drilling displacement, wellbore diameter and mud circulating pressure through the preset algorithm;
[0056] S1-1: mixing and stirring according to the preset ratio, triggering adjustment signaling after a certain time, monitoring the real-time salinity of seawater in the window after the triggering time point, and taking the average value of the real-time salinity of seawater in the window as the salinity evaluation value;
[0057] Each group of salinity intervals corresponding to the seawater salinity is preset, and each group of salinity intervals corresponds to a required salt-resistant agent effective concentration; the salinity evaluation value is matched with the corresponding salinity interval to determine the required salt-resistant agent effective concentration, which is denoted as the correction concentration; the higher the salinity evaluation value, the higher the required salt-resistant agent concentration determined by matching;
[0058] The recorded seawater salinity during mixing and stirring according to the preset ratio is taken as the initial salinity, and the required salt-resistant agent determined by the initial salinity is converted into the required salt-resistant agent effective concentration by matching with the corresponding salinity interval, which is denoted as the initial concentration;
[0059] Based on the comparison result of the correction concentration and the initial concentration, the salt-resistant agent supplement or reduction amount is determined, that is, through the formula ; wherein M represents the total mass of the current mud, respectively represent the salt-resistant agent supplement and the salt-resistant agent reduction; respectively represent the correction concentration and the initial concentration;
[0060] The fluctuation of seawater salinity (such as tides and different sea areas) will directly weaken the colloidal stability of bentonite, resulting in the decrease of mud viscosity and suspension, so the concentration of salt-resistant agent (such as polyhydric alcohol) needs to be adjusted to inhibit the effect of salt ions, and the amount of bentonite is adjusted to make up for the loss of viscosity;
[0061] For example, the preset mixing ratio is: seawater 980 kg + basic mud 20 kg, and the current total mass of mud M = 1000 kg;
[0062] The preset stirring duration is 30 minutes, and the salinity monitoring signaling is triggered after stirring is completed.
[0063] The salinity interval and the corresponding concentration of the salt-resistant agent (pre-set) are as follows:
[0064] Interval 1: 0-20 corresponds to an effective concentration of 1.0;
[0065] Interval 2: 21-30 corresponds to an effective concentration of 1.5;
[0066] Interval 3: 31-40 corresponds to an effective concentration of 2.0;
[0067] Interval 4: 41 or more corresponds to an effective concentration of 2.5;
[0068] Before mixing according to the preset ratio of “seawater 980 kg + basic mud 20 kg”, the salinity of seawater at this time is read as the initial salinity.
[0069] Suppose the initial salinity detection value is 25 ‰, and the above corresponding table is matched to the “21-30 ‰” interval. The effective concentration of the salt-resistant agent corresponding to this interval is 1.5%, so the initial concentration is 1.5%.
[0070] According to the preset ratio of mixing seawater and basic mud, after 30 minutes of continuous stirring, the adjustment signaling is triggered, and the salinity is monitored.
[0071] The monitoring window is set to 0-5 minutes (a total of 5 minutes) after stirring is completed.
[0072] The real-time salinity records are 28 ‰, 29 ‰, 27 ‰, 29 ‰, and 30 ‰ within 5 minutes.
[0073] The salinity evaluation value is calculated by taking the average of the five real-time salinities, that is, (28+29+27+29+30) ÷ 5 = 28.6 ‰.
[0074] The calculated salinity evaluation value 28.6 ‰ is matched with the preset salinity interval.
[0075] 28.6 ‰ belongs to the “21-30 ‰” interval, and the effective concentration of the salt-resistant agent corresponding to the interval is 1.5%, so the revised concentration is 1.5%.
[0076] According to the above formula, the adjustment amount is determined in combination with the difference between the initial concentration and the revised concentration.
[0077] S1-2: mixing and stirring according to the preset proportion, triggering the adjustment signaling after a set time, monitoring the drilling discharge and mud circulation pressure in the set window after the triggering time point, and calculating the average of the drilling discharge and mud circulation pressure in the set window as the discharge evaluation value and the pressure evaluation value respectively;
[0078] The discharge evaluation value and the borehole diameter are marked as a1 and a2 respectively, and the formula is used to calculate the required target viscosity ; wherein is a preset correction coefficient, taking a value of 4.5-8.5, determined according to the drilling scene; the larger the cuttings particle size and the higher the density, the stronger the "tendency" of the cuttings to settle in the mud, and the "suspension and carrying rock resistance" of the mud needs to be enhanced by increasing the mud viscosity (i.e. increasing the correction coefficient) to avoid cuttings from settling and accumulating in the borehole; for example, in the clay and fine silt scene, the cuttings particle size is small, and the correction coefficient is 4.5; in the solution cavity filling layer drilling and thick gravel layer, the cuttings particle size is large, and the correction coefficient is 8.5;
[0079] The pressure evaluation value is marked as , the current real-time viscosity and the preset pressure threshold are read, and are marked as and ; if > , < , based on the mapping relationship between the amount of viscosity enhancer X and the viscosity : ; 10 is a preset coefficient, which is set according to the type of viscosity enhancer, for example, carboxymethyl cellulose, which takes a value of 10; wherein is the basic viscosity provided by bentonite; the amount of viscosity enhancer supplement is calculated by the difference
[0080] If > , > , the pressure ratio is calculated by taking as the numerator and as the denominator, and subtracting the integer one;
[0081] The preset pressure ratio corresponds to each group of ratio intervals, and each group of ratio intervals corresponds to an optimization coefficient of the viscosity enhancer; the range is set to 0.727-0.936, and the higher the pressure ratio value, the higher the possibility of matching 0.727; the calculated pressure ratio is matched with each group of ratio intervals to determine the optimization coefficient P of the viscosity enhancer; the amount of viscosity enhancer supplement is calculated by the difference .
[0082] Required target viscosity Greater than real-time viscosity If the pressure evaluation value is greater than the pressure threshold value, it indicates that the pressure is out of limit, and the thickening agent input needs to be reduced;
[0083] For example, the preset mixing ratio is: seawater 900 kg + bentonite 50 kg + basic additives 50 kg, and the current total mass of the mud has no additional requirements.
[0084] The preset stirring time is 40 minutes, and the adjustment signal is triggered after stirring is completed.
[0085] Key preset parameters:
[0086] Borehole diameter = 20 cm (determined before drilling)
[0087] Correction coefficient = 8.5 (cavity filling layer rock particle size is large, and the upper limit is taken according to the rule)
[0088] Preset pressure threshold = 3.5 MPa
[0089] Current real-time viscosity = 30 mPa·s
[0090] Basic viscosity provided by bentonite = 20 mPa·s
[0091] Thickening agent coefficient (carboxymethyl cellulose) = 10
[0092] Pressure ratio and thickening agent optimization coefficient corresponding table (pre-set):
[0093] If the pressure ratio is 0.1-0.2, the thickening agent optimization coefficient is 0.936;
[0094] If the pressure ratio is 0.2-0.3, the thickening agent optimization coefficient is 0.850;
[0095] If the pressure ratio is above 0.3, the thickening agent optimization coefficient is 0.726;
[0096] After stirring for 40 minutes, the signal is triggered, and the drilling displacement and mud circulation pressure in the "set window (0-6 minutes)" are monitored, and the required target viscosity is calculated by using the formula after mean value calculation;
[0097] The required target viscosity is calculated based on the comparison result of the pressure evaluation value and the required target viscosity.
[0098] S2: Extract each group of laboratory cases from the pre-constructed experimental database, each group of laboratory cases including case number, total mud mass, case performance data, and additive proportion; wherein the case performance data includes seawater salinity, drilling displacement, wellbore diameter, and mud circulating pressure;
[0099] Based on the current total mud mass M as the reference value, a preset fluctuation reference mass n is constructed, and a mass range (M-n, M+n) is constructed; the total mud mass of each group of laboratory cases is matched with the constructed mass range, and the laboratory cases that match successfully are retained as base cases;
[0100] With "current total mud mass (M)" as the reference to construct the mass range (M-n, M+n), laboratory cases of the same order of magnitude are preferentially selected as "base cases" to eliminate the reference deviation of additive amount caused by the difference in total mud mass (such as the additive proportion of 50t mud and 100t mud needs to be differentiated and adapted);
[0101] For the current salinity evaluation value, displacement evaluation value, wellbore diameter, and pressure evaluation value, normalization processing is performed respectively, and is recorded as G1, G2, G3, and G4;
[0102] For the seawater salinity, drilling displacement, wellbore diameter, and mud circulating pressure in the performance data of each group of base cases, they are marked as R1, R2, R3, and R4, respectively;
[0103] The formula is used to calculate the case similarity of each group of base cases ; hi is the weight coefficient corresponding to seawater salinity, drilling displacement, wellbore diameter, and mud circulating pressure;
[0104] A preset case similarity corresponding to the similarity threshold value, the base cases less than the similarity threshold value are selected, and the base cases with smaller case similarity are selected from the selection results as the difference degree analysis cases;
[0105] The total amount of salt-resistant agent and the total amount of tackifier finally determined in the difference degree analysis cases are extracted, recorded as e1 and e2, and the total amount of salt-resistant agent and the total amount of tackifier determined after the current trigger adjustment signaling is recorded as e3 and e4, and the salt-resistant agent difference rate and the tackifier difference rate are calculated by and
[0106] The preset salt-resistant agent difference rate and the preset tackifier difference rate correspond to an allowable difference rate. If there is a certain group of difference rates between the salt-resistant agent difference rate and the tackifier difference rate that is higher than the corresponding preset allowable difference rate, a difference signaling is triggered to the technician. If the salt-resistant agent difference rate and the tackifier difference rate are both lower than the corresponding preset allowable difference rate, step S3 is performed.
[0107] It is further explained that, based on the difference rate calculation of the difference between the salt-resistant agent / tackifier addition amount (e1, e2) and the field adjustment amount (e3, e4), the phenomenon of the additive with a larger difference degree is determined in time, and the technician is notified to intervene, so as to avoid problems such as well wall collapse and rock debris settlement caused by improper proportioning;
[0108] S3: Based on the determined salt-resistant agent supplement amount or salt-resistant agent reduction amount and tackifier supplement amount, the additive amount proportioning in the preparation process of the seawater-based environmentally friendly mud is adjusted.
[0109] The purification process of the waste mud is dynamically adjusted, specifically as follows:
[0110] The sand content of the waste mud in the current set time zone is extracted; wherein the sand content is collected through a collection node pre-arranged at the inlet of the waste mud recovery pipeline;
[0111] The sand content at each time point in the current set time zone is averaged to obtain the sand content average; three groups of range intervals corresponding to the sand content average are pre-constructed, including a light sand content interval, a medium sand content interval and a severe sand content interval;
[0112] The sand content average of the current set time zone is matched with the corresponding range interval, and the light sand content interval, the medium sand content interval and the severe sand content interval are respectively set to correspond to a sand purification adjustment strategy, and the sand purification adjustment strategy includes specific adjustment schemes for the purification equipment; the purification equipment includes a mud remover, a sand remover and a vibrating screen;
[0113] For example, the three groups of range intervals can be set as 0.5%-2%, 2%-5% and 5% or more, and the corresponding sand purification strategy can be formulated as follows:
[0114] Severe sand content interval (total sand content > 5%):
[0115] Target: vibrating screen.
[0116] Adjustment measure: reduce the mesh size of the vibrating screen (120 mesh→80 mesh), and enlarge the screen hole diameter to accelerate the separation of >74μm coarse rock debris;
[0117] Increase the vibration amplitude (1.5mm→2.2mm) and increase the vibration frequency (2800r / min→3200r / min) to enhance the stripping of the adhered rock debris by the screen;
[0118] If the sand content at the outlet of the vibrating screen is still > 3%, a "pre-deposition tank" (residence time 10 minutes) is added after the vibrating screen to remove > 100 μm coarse particles by gravity deposition, and then enter the desander.
[0119] Moderate sand content interval (total sand content 2%-5%):
[0120] Target: desander.
[0121] Adjustment measures: increase the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the desander (0.2 MPa→0.3 MPa), enhance the centrifugal force of the cyclone, and improve the separation efficiency of 2-74 μm sand particles;
[0122] Reduce the mud passing speed (flow rate from 15 m³ / h to 12 m³ / h), and prolong the residence time of sand particles in the cyclone;
[0123] If the sand particles have strong adhesion (such as containing clay wrapping), add a small amount of dispersant (sodium tripolyphosphate, 0.1 kg / m³) at the inlet of the desander to break the sand particle agglomeration and avoid clogging the cyclone.
[0124] Mild sand content interval (total sand content 0.5%-2%):
[0125] Target unit: desilter.
[0126] Adjustment measures:
[0127] Replace the desilter cyclone (inner diameter 80 mm→60 mm) to improve the capture ability of 1-2 μm muddy particles;
[0128] Increase the desilter mud discharge frequency (2 times / min→3 times / min) to avoid fine particles from accumulating in the cyclone;
[0129] Detect the sand content at the outlet of the desilter, if <0.5%, then enter the centrifuge to treat the colloid, otherwise repeat the desilting process;
[0130] After adjusting the corresponding equipment based on the determined sand content purification adjustment strategy, the purification application strategy of the next setting time zone is determined;
