Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of dynamic analysis and control of rotary steerable drilling systems, in particular to a dynamic analysis system for rotary steerable drilling systems. BACKGROUND
[0002] In modern rotary steerable drilling engineering, the downhole measurement-while-drilling system is the core technology for realizing accurate geological steering and ensuring operation safety. In order to effectively control the drilling process, the system needs to obtain real-time downhole dynamic parameters reflecting the characteristics of the formation. However, in actual operation, drilling parameter adjustment commands, such as speed increase or pressure increase, issued from the ground will generate and propagate vibrations in the drill string system, forming a certain control source noise. This noise is superimposed with the target geological signal, forming a severely contaminated original mixed signal.
[0003] Existing technical methods mostly adopt passive signal filtering or vibration suppression strategies. These methods process the signal after it has been contaminated, making it difficult to effectively separate the control source noise that overlaps with the geological signal frequency band, resulting in insufficient accuracy and reliability of geological steering. At the same time, due to the inability to obtain pure geological signals, the system cannot accurately predict changes in the formation ahead, thus failing to avoid the risk of stick-slip, impact, and other malignant vibrations caused by sudden changes in the formation. The control strategy is limited to passive response, contributing little to improving drilling efficiency and safety. Therefore, how to establish a dynamic analysis and control method that can prospectively predict and actively eliminate control source noise, reconstruct high-fidelity pure geological signals from a strong noise background, and implement control strategy upgrades from passive vibration suppression to active risk avoidance, is a technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0043] The embodiment provides a rotary steerable drilling system dynamics analysis system; in a specific implementation scenario, the system is deployed in a ground control center, and comprises a data acquisition module, a digital twin modeling module, a noise prediction module, a signal reconstruction module and a cooperative control module; these modules work cooperatively to form a complete technical link from data acquisition, model construction, signal processing to closed-loop control.
[0044] The purpose of the data acquisition module is to provide real-time and comprehensive data input for the entire analysis system. It continuously acquires the drive torque and speed of the drive motor through an interface with the drilling rig's surface control system, and obtains surface engineering parameters such as drilling pressure through sensors in the hydraulic system. These surface engineering parameters are macroscopic physical quantities that can be directly measured on the surface and reflect the operating status of the drilling equipment; their function is to serve as the main driving input for the digital twin model. This module receives and analyzes downhole dynamic parameters transmitted from the downhole Measurement While Drilling (MWD) system via a mud pulse telemetry decoding unit. A key function of this module is to monitor the control system's command bus in real time to intercept drilling parameter adjustment commands, such as speed-up or pressurization commands issued by operators or the automatic control system. This instruction is the direct source of subsequent noise prediction;
[0045] The purpose of the digital twin modeling module is to build and maintain a virtual model that can accurately reproduce the dynamic behavior of the actual downhole drill string system. This module receives surface engineering parameters and downhole dynamic parameters from the data acquisition module, and builds and corrects the drill string system dynamics digital twin model based on this real-time data. The core of this model is a state-space expression that can calculate the angular displacement and angular velocity at any position on the drill string with millisecond-level time resolution, thereby outputting the complete state vector of the digital twin model. This state vector is a comprehensive description of the current dynamic state of the entire drill string system and is the basis for subsequent noise prediction and vibration simulation.
[0046] The purpose of the noise prediction module is to transform passive noise response into proactive prediction, providing crucial prior information for subsequent signal cleanup. This module receives drilling parameter adjustment commands intercepted by the data acquisition module. And obtain the real-time complete state vector provided by the digital twin modeling module. It uses a digital twin model to perform forward simulation based on drilling parameter adjustment commands and a complete state vector, simulating how the control commands will propagate through the drill string system and ultimately generate vibrations at the downhole LWD sensor location.

[0048] The purpose of the synergistic control module is to use the high-quality information processed by the front-end module to realize the upgrade of the control strategy from passive vibration suppression to active vibration avoidance; based on the pure geology signal output by the signal reconstruction module , the vibration risk caused by the change of the front formation is predicted; by analyzing the pattern, the upcoming change in formation hardness is predicted, and the stick-slip, impact and other malignant vibrations that may be caused by the change under the current drilling parameters are simulated; the optimizer in the system calculates a set of optimal control parameters that can avoid the risk in advance, and generates optimal control instructions for actively avoiding vibration risks , which are issued to the drilling rig for execution;
[0049] In addition, the system also integrates a health monitoring module for real-time assessment of the prediction error of the digital twin model and the quality of the input signal. When the error exceeds the preset threshold or the sensor data is abnormal, the system will trigger an alarm and can optionally switch to a more conservative control mode or return control to humans to ensure the safety and robustness of the entire drilling operation;
[0050] Through the organic combination of the above-mentioned modules, this embodiment constructs a closed-loop dynamic analysis and control system, which not only extracts high-fidelity geology signals from strong noise background, greatly improving the accuracy and reliability of geosteering, but also significantly reduces the probability of malignant vibration through forward-looking vibration risk prediction and active avoidance, thereby improving drilling efficiency, prolonging the service life of drilling tools, and ensuring operation safety. The system focuses on predicting and eliminating deterministic noise caused by surface control adjustment, and other noise sources with stronger randomness can be further processed through subsequent conventional filtering means.
