Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil and gas drilling engineering technology, and in particular to a method, system, equipment and medium for predicting drill bit wear as well depth increases. Background Technology

[0002] Drill bits are the core rock-breaking tools in drilling operations, and their downhole wear condition directly affects the rate of penetration, drilling safety, and operating costs. Accurate assessment of drill bit wear is a crucial prerequisite for optimizing drilling parameters, predicting remaining drill bit life, and thus reducing costs and increasing efficiency. However, due to the complex downhole environment and the lack of direct detection methods, continuous and accurate prediction of wear conditions remains a pressing technical challenge in this field.

[0003] Existing methods for predicting drill bit wear have significant limitations: empirical models based on a limited number of parameters such as drill pressure and rotational speed have poor universality; laboratory simulations struggle to reproduce the real downhole environment, limiting their guiding value; and the industry-standard IADC (International Association of Drilling Contractors) wear rating system only provides wear data at the entry and exit points, failing to reveal the continuous wear process throughout the wellbore, resulting in significant data sparsity. Given the highly nonlinear interaction between drilling parameters and formation, traditional methods struggle to establish effective models for continuous drill bit wear prediction with depth under the constraint of only endpoint wear data, severely hindering the improvement of intelligent drilling decision-making.

[0004] Therefore, a new method for predicting drill bit wear as well depth is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

III. Iterative Optimization: After each training cycle is completed, the difference between the predicted drill bit wear curve with well depth output by the current model and the current training target curve (initial drill bit wear curve with well depth) is calculated, and the training target of the next training cycle is updated using the data points of the predicted drill bit wear curve with well depth according to a preset ratio (such as 0.1), thereby realizing the dynamic self-correction of the training signal and making the prediction results gradually approach the actual wear law.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, embodiments of this invention, and should not be construed as limiting the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention. In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terminology used is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0032] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a method for predicting drill bit wear as it deepens in well, as provided by the present invention. The executing entity of this method can be any applicable terminal-side device or network-side device, such as a drill bit wear prediction device for well depth.

[0033] See Figure 1 The present invention provides a method for predicting drill bit wear as well depth, which may include: S110. Obtain logging data for the target well section, as well as drilling engineering data, formation mechanics data, and drilling fluid performance data that vary with well depth.

[0034] In one embodiment, the drilling engineering data includes data on any one of the following parameters or any combination thereof: drilling pressure, rotational speed, torque, mechanical drilling speed, mechanical specific energy, pump pressure, pump displacement, and drill bit pressure drop; the formation mechanics data includes data on any one of the following parameters or any combination thereof: compressive strength, elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, drillability index, and in-situ stress; the drilling fluid performance data includes data on any one of the following parameters or any combination thereof: density, apparent viscosity, plastic viscosity, dynamic shear force, API filtration loss, friction coefficient, and solids content.

[0035] In one embodiment, after acquiring the logging data of the target well section and the drilling engineering data, formation mechanics data, and drilling fluid performance data varying with well depth, S110 can perform standardization processing on the logging data of the target well section and the drilling engineering data, formation mechanics data, and drilling fluid performance data varying with well depth. The standardization processing includes any one or any combination of the following: Based on well depth, all parameter sequences are aligned and resampled to form a unified well depth-feature sequence; Missing data can be filled using linear interpolation, spline interpolation, or statistical methods based on adjacent well data; Statistical methods such as box plots and Z-scores are used to identify and remove outliers, thereby improving data quality.

[0036] S120. Obtain IADC wear rating data for the target drill bit as it enters and exits the target well section.

[0037] In one embodiment, after acquiring the IADC wear rating data of the target drill bit entering and exiting the target well section, S120 can quantify the IADC wear rating data of the target drill bit entering and exiting the target well section to obtain a numerical quantity that can represent the overall wear degree of the target drill bit entering and exiting the target well section. The specific implementation includes the following steps: Based on the IADC wear rating data of the target drill bit entering and exiting the target well section, the wear level of each key part (such as teeth, bearings, gauge parts) of the target drill bit when entering and exiting the target well section is obtained. Among them, each key part of the target drill bit has a weighting coefficient set according to the drill bit type (such as PDC drill bit, roller cone drill bit). Based on the wear levels of each key component when the target drill bit enters and exits the target well section and the weighting coefficients of each key component of the target drill bit, a weighted sum is obtained to obtain a value representing the overall wear degree of the target drill bit when entering and exiting the target well section.

[0038] S130. Based on the logging data of the target well section, divide the target well section into several sub-well sections.

[0039] In one embodiment, S130 can segment the target well section based on logging data, identify abrupt changes in lithological interfaces and formation mechanical properties (such as compressive strength), and divide the target well section into several sub-sections with relatively consistent geological characteristics. This segmentation is based on the fact that different lithologies (such as mudstone, sandstone, and limestone) exhibit significant differences in the wear mechanism and rate of the drill bit.

[0040] S140. Based on the IADC wear rating data of the target drill bit entering and exiting the target well section, for each sub-well section, set the boundary constraints of each sub-well section according to the IADC wear rating data of the target drill bit entering and exiting each sub-well section, obtain the drill bit wear sub-curve with well depth for each sub-well section, and connect the drill bit wear sub-curves with well depth of each sub-well section to obtain the initial drill bit wear curve with well depth of the target well section.

[0041] To address the issue of sparse measured downhole wear data, this embodiment employs a weakly supervised learning method to generate an initial drill bit wear curve with well depth as a supervision signal for model pre-training, providing the model with a priori wear change trend that conforms to geological laws.

[0042] In one embodiment, S140 may include: For each sub-section (divided according to formation changes or construction stages), the overall wear degree value when the drill bit enters and exits the sub-section (derived from IADC wear classification or wellhead inspection) is used as a boundary constraint. Initial wear sub-curves for each sub-section are generated by interpolation or function fitting. The drill bit wear sub-curves of each sub-section with well depth are then connected to construct a continuous initial drill bit wear curve with well depth for the target well section. The function fitting method can be any of the following: linear interpolation, exponential function, or logarithmic function. For example, linear interpolation can be used in homogeneous soft formation well sections, while exponential function can be used in abrasive formation well sections to simulate possible accelerated wear.

[0043] To ensure physical consistency, the initial drill bit wear curve of the target well section at the entry and exit points of the target well section must be consistent with the overall wear degree value of the target drill bit entering and exiting the target well section, obtained from the IADC wear grading data of the target drill bit entering and exiting the target well section. This process essentially reconstructs a "weakly labeled" wear curve in the absence of continuous field measurements by using formation prior constraints and interpolation / fitting functions.

[0044] S150. Construct a drill bit wear prediction model with well depth and dynamically correct the initial wear curve. Based on the drilling engineering data, formation mechanics data, drilling fluid performance data, and the initial drill bit wear curve with well depth of the target well section, the drill bit wear prediction model iteratively optimizes the initial drill bit wear curve with well depth using the drilling engineering data, formation mechanics data, and drilling fluid performance data of the target well section with well depth until the model converges, obtaining the final output of the drill bit wear prediction model with well depth: the drill bit wear curve with well depth.

[0045] In one embodiment, the drill bit wear prediction model with well depth employs a depth-time series prediction network, aiming to learn the complex nonlinear relationship between drilling engineering data, formation mechanics data, drilling fluid performance data, and the initial drill bit wear curve with well depth (between well depth sequence and wear degree) of the target well section as well depth changes. The network architecture adopted by the drill bit wear prediction model with well depth can be any of the following: Bi-LSTM (Bi-LSTM, which can capture the forward and backward dependencies of drilling parameter sequences and is suitable for modeling nonlinear and temporal wear processes), Bi-LSTM-Attention (Bi-LSTM-Attention, which introduces an attention mechanism on the basis of Bi-LSTM to enhance the model's attention to key wear-influencing parameters), or Transformer model (based on self-attention mechanism, suitable for handling long sequence dependencies and feature interactions under large-scale data).

[0046] In one embodiment, the training strategy for the drill bit wear prediction model with well depth includes any one or any combination of the following: I. Endpoint Constraints: A boundary constraint term is added to the loss function to force the error between the model's predicted values ​​at the well entry and exit points and the measured wear classification results to be less than a preset threshold, ensuring that the model is aligned with the actual wear trend at key control points. II. Multi-objective loss: The mean squared error loss (to ensure the overall curve fit), boundary constraint loss (to ensure the accuracy of the endpoints) and smoothing regularization term (to avoid excessive curve oscillation) are used in combination to achieve the overall smoothness and physical consistency of the wear curve; III. Iterative Optimization: After each training cycle, the difference between the predicted drill bit wear curve with well depth output by the current model and the current training target curve (initial drill bit wear curve with well depth) is calculated, and the training target for the next training cycle is updated using the data points of the predicted drill bit wear curve with well depth according to a preset ratio (such as 0.1). This achieves dynamic self-correction of the training signal. This mechanism is equivalent to allowing the model to learn the wear law in a "self-supervised" manner during training, so that the prediction results gradually approach the actual wear law.

[0047] The obtained drill bit wear curves with well depth can be used for the following engineering applications: Drill bit life management: Predict the remaining service life of drill bits based on wear trends to assist in decision-making regarding when to replace drill bits; Drilling parameter optimization: Identify abnormal wear zones and adjust drilling parameters such as drilling pressure and rotation speed to slow down wear. Downhole risk warning: When the predicted wear value or wear rate exceeds the safety threshold, the system can issue a risk warning in advance to prevent downhole failures caused by drill bit failure; Drill string assembly design support: Provides data-driven scientific references for drill bit selection and drill string assembly design in subsequent well sections or adjacent wells.

[0048] This invention provides a method for predicting drill bit wear as it deepens. By fusing multi-source drilling data and wear classification at the tripping and running-out points, an initial drill bit wear curve as it deepens is constructed as a weakly supervised signal. A deep learning model is then used for iterative optimization, ultimately generating a continuous drill bit wear curve as it deepens, conforming to formation and operating condition constraints. This invention achieves at least the following beneficial effects: 1. Effectively overcomes the limitations of data sparsity: By using a weakly supervised learning framework and a method for generating initial drill bit wear curves with well depth, the wear classification information at the only two points of entry and exit from the well is expanded into a continuous wear change curve within the well section, achieving high-precision wear prediction under sparse data conditions.

[0049] 2. Significantly improve prediction accuracy and generalization ability: By deeply integrating multi-source parameters such as drilling engineering and formation mechanics, and utilizing the time-series modeling capability of deep learning models, the model can more accurately reflect the comprehensive impact of complex downhole conditions on drill bit wear, giving it good adaptability and generalizability.

[0050] 3. Enhance data support capabilities for drilling decisions: The generated drill bit wear curves with well depth can intuitively reflect the dynamic changes in drill bit wear with well depth, providing quantitative basis for drill bit remaining life prediction, real-time optimization of drilling parameters, and drill string assembly design, which helps to reduce unplanned tripping operations and improve drilling efficiency and safety.

[0051] This invention's method is applicable not only to common types of drill bits such as PDC and roller cone bits, but also to novel drill bits such as hybrid bits. The method is suitable for various well types, including vertical, directional, and horizontal wells, and exhibits good adaptability to different operating conditions. Furthermore, this method can be integrated with real-time drilling data systems to achieve online prediction of drill bit wear and intelligent decision support.

The drill bit wear sub-curve with well depth of each sub-well section is then connected to obtain the initial drill bit wear curve with well depth of the target well section. Based on drilling engineering data, formation mechanics data, drilling fluid performance data, and the initial drill bit wear curve as well as the target well section's depth, the drill bit wear prediction model iteratively optimizes the initial drill bit wear curve until the model converges, using the drilling engineering data, formation mechanics data, and drilling fluid performance data of the target well section as well as the initial drill bit wear curve ...
