Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of deepwater oil and gas field development technology, and proposes a method and system for predicting the lifetime of underwater systems with multiple competing indicators. Background Technology

[0002] In deep-sea oil and gas field development, subsea production systems, as core equipment for oil and gas transportation, distribution, and control, operate for extended periods in complex environments characterized by high pressure, high temperature, and high corrosion. Key components (such as wellhouse trees and valves) are prone to performance degradation and even failure due to structural fatigue, wear, and corrosion, severely impacting development efficiency and operational safety. Currently, most methods for predicting remaining service life rely on independent modeling and analysis of single monitoring indicators (such as pressure, temperature, or vibration data), making it difficult to comprehensively reflect the equipment degradation process under the coupled effects of multiple factors. Due to the uncertainty of the deep-sea environment, the diversity of degradation mechanisms, and the nonlinear correlations between indicators, these methods often fail to dynamically identify the importance of each indicator under different operating conditions, lack a unified multi-indicator competition mechanism, resulting in insufficient prediction accuracy, poor robustness, and difficulty in adapting to the actual needs of multi-stage and multi-condition operations.

[0003] Therefore, existing technologies have not effectively solved the problems of dynamic weight allocation and real-time competition driven by multi-source data, which limits the accuracy and reliability of remaining lifetime prediction.

[0004] Chinese patent CN113432857A discloses a "Method and System for Predicting the Remaining Service Life of an Underwater Production Tree System Based on Digital Twins." This scheme establishes a digital twin model, constructs a dynamic Bayesian network degradation model by combining multiple index factors (such as temperature, pressure, and flow rate), and uses physical entity data acquisition and model calibration to achieve service life prediction. Its main technical features include: identifying the main failure modes (such as corrosion), establishing multi-index static and dynamic Bayesian networks, performing model calibration through interaction between the digital twin and physical entity data, and determining the failure threshold based on the limit state method. However, this scheme still has shortcomings in multi-index processing: firstly, the determination of index weight coefficients relies on static sensitivity analysis, lacking a real-time dynamic adjustment mechanism, making it difficult to adapt to changes in operating conditions; secondly, it does not introduce a multi-index competition mechanism, making it impossible to dynamically select key indicators based on real-time data, leading to reduced prediction efficiency when indicators are redundant or conflicting; thirdly, model calibration is mainly based on historical data and expert experience, limiting its responsiveness to sudden changes in operating conditions, affecting the real-time performance and accuracy of the prediction.

[0005] Another Chinese patent, CN118536433A, discloses a "Method and System for Intelligent Operation and Maintenance and Production Optimization of Subsea Oil Production Systems." This solution focuses on system health status assessment and operation and maintenance optimization. It calculates static health indices using data from surface sensors and subsea production tree sensors, and estimates dynamic health indices using a Kalman filter algorithm. The optimal maintenance strategy is then formulated with the goals of maximizing resilience and minimizing maintenance costs. Its main technical features include leak detection and location, health index calculation, multi-objective optimization function construction, and solving using a genetic-particle swarm optimization algorithm. However, this solution emphasizes operation and maintenance decision-making and production optimization rather than real-time prediction of remaining lifetime: First, although the health index calculation involves multiple indicators, a real-time competition mechanism between these indicators is not established, making it impossible to dynamically identify the dominant degradation factors under different operating conditions. Second, as an auxiliary link in operation and maintenance decision-making, remaining lifetime prediction lacks a dedicated multi-indicator dynamic modeling and correction mechanism, resulting in insufficient adaptability of the prediction results in complex degradation scenarios. Third, the solution does not fully consider the nonlinear degradation process under the coupling effect of multiple indicators, limiting the accuracy and robustness of the prediction model in variable environments.

[0006] In summary, the existing technologies and the aforementioned patent documents all share the following shortcomings: First, the multi-index processing mechanism is relatively static, unable to achieve real-time dynamic allocation and competitive selection of index weights, making it difficult to accurately capture key degradation factors; second, model correction and optimization rely heavily on historical data or fixed parameters, lacking the ability to adapt to real-time changes in operating conditions; finally, the existing methods need to improve prediction accuracy and robustness when dealing with complex scenarios such as multi-factor coupling and nonlinear degradation.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new method for predicting remaining lifetime that can integrate multi-source data, dynamically identify the contribution of indicators, and introduce a real-time competition mechanism, so as to comprehensively improve the accuracy and reliability of subsea production system condition monitoring and maintenance decision-making, and provide technical support for the safe and efficient development of deep-sea oil and gas fields.

[0026] This invention provides a method and system for predicting the remaining lifetime of underwater systems using a multi-indicator competitive model. It aims to address the problem that existing prediction methods based on a single monitoring indicator are insufficient to comprehensively depict the degradation process under the coupled effects of multiple factors. By integrating multiple key performance indicators, a real-time competitive mechanism is constructed, and model calibration is introduced to achieve more accurate and robust remaining lifetime prediction. The method of this invention mainly includes three steps: constructing a real-time competitive prediction model based on multiple indicators, model calibration, and calculating the remaining lifetime. The system includes a subsystem for constructing a real-time competitive prediction model based on multiple indicators, a model calibration subsystem, and a remaining lifetime calculation subsystem. These subsystems are installed in the surface control module 101. The specific embodiments of this invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example

[0027] This embodiment uses a typical subsea production system as an example to describe in detail the implementation of the present invention. The subsea production system includes a surface control module 101, a hydraulic power unit 106, an electric power unit 112, a subsea control module 119, and a subsea wellhead 130, as shown in the attached diagram.

Similarly, the second communication modem 113 is connected to the second filter 115 via a cable, and the second communication modem 113 and the second filter 115 are connected to the second power coupler 117 via a cable.

The underwater control module reversing valve assembly 120 includes a first reversing valve 121, a second reversing valve 122, a third reversing valve 123, a fourth reversing valve 124, and a fifth reversing valve 125.

[0030] The method of the present invention is executed by a subsystem installed in the water control module 101, as shown in the appendix. Figure 3 As shown. The multi-indicator real-time competitive prediction model construction subsystem 201 includes a module 202 for determining the main failure factors of the underwater production system, a module 203 for index normalization processing, a module 204 for determining weight coefficients, a multi-indicator real-time competition module 205, and a prediction model construction module 206.

The remaining service life calculation subsystem 210 includes a module 211 for determining the failure threshold of the underwater production system and a module 212 for obtaining the time to reach the threshold.

[0031] S101: Identify the main failure factors of the underwater production system: The subsea production system's main failure factor identification module 202 is connected to the main control station 103 via cables, collecting degradation information of each component of the subsea production system. Based on historical fault data, expert knowledge, and on-site monitoring information, it identifies multiple failure factors that significantly impact system performance degradation. These factors reflect multiple degradation dimensions, including structural integrity, motion performance, and environmental adaptability. For example, for the subsea production tree 130, key failure factors include the corrosion rate of the production tree body 139 (unit: mm / year), the sealing leakage rate of hydraulic valves (unit: mL / min), and the valve response time (unit: ms). Specifically, the corrosion rate is monitored by a corrosion sensor, the leakage rate is monitored by a flow sensor, and the response time is calculated by the control signal feedback time. These indicators are collected and transmitted to the main control station 103 via subsea electronic modules (127, 128, 129).

[0032] S102: Indicator Normalization Process The index normalization module 203 is connected to the underwater production system main failure factor determination module 202 via a cable, and performs normalization processing on each index to eliminate the influence of dimensions. Let the index set be X=[x1,x2,...,x...]. n ], where xᵢ represents the i-th indicator. Each indicator has a fluctuation range matrix W, where the element x_{mn} represents the m-th fluctuation value of the n-th indicator. The normalization formula is: X mn '=X mn / max(X mn ); where x_{mn}' is the normalized value. After normalization, the element values ​​of matrix W' are between 0 and 1, making different indicators comparable. For example, if the original value of the corrosion rate is 0.1 mm / year and the maximum allowable value is 0.5 mm / year, then the normalized value is 0.2; if the original value of the leakage rate is 5 mL / min and the maximum allowable value is 20 mL / min, then the normalized value is 0.25.

[0033] S103: Determination of Weighting Coefficients The weight coefficient determination module 204 is connected to the index normalization processing module 203 via a cable, based on the Bayesian network degradation model (as shown in the attached diagram). Figure 1 (As shown) Analyze the sensitivity of each index to the corrosion degradation results. Sensitivity set Y=[y1,y2,...,y... n ], where yᵢ represents the sensitivity of degradation to the i-th indicator, obtained by training a Bayesian network using historical data. The weight coefficients yᵢ' are calculated as follows: yᵢ'=yᵢ / a Where 'a' is the maximum value of set Y. For example, if the sensitivity set is [0.8, 0.6, 0.9], then a = 0.9, and the weighting coefficients are 0.89, 0.67, and 1.0, respectively. The weighting coefficients reflect the relative importance of each indicator in the overall degradation and are used for subsequent multi-indicator competition.

[0034] S104: Real-time Competition of Multiple Indicators The multi-indicator real-time competition module 205 is connected to the weight coefficient determination module 204 via a cable, and sets the competition threshold θ for each indicator. i θ i Based on historical data or expert experience, for example, a value of 0.7 is used for the normalized indicator X. i ' If X i ' ≥θ iIf the index passes the competition, its Bayesian network degradation model will be used for prediction; otherwise, the index is ignored. For example, if the normalized corrosion rate is 0.8 (≥0.7), it passes the competition; if the normalized leakage rate is 0.6 (<0.7), it does not pass the competition.

[0035] S105: Predictive Model Construction The prediction model building module 206 is connected to the multi-index real-time competition module 205 via a cable to construct the performance degradation state V: ;in, f(x i ) It is a Bayesian network degradation model for the i-th indicator, trained using historical data, capable of predicting the future degradation trend of that indicator; i It is an indicator function, when X i '≥θ i At that time, l i =1, otherwise l i =0; For example, if only corrosion rate and response time compete, then V=f(corrosion rate)+f(response time). The Bayesian network degradation model uses a dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) to process time series data, and its conditional probability table is trained based on maximum likelihood estimation.

[0036] Model calibration steps: S201: Constructing the objective function The objective function construction module 208 is connected to the prediction model construction module 206 and the main control station 103 via cables, and constructs the objective function H'=g(H,S) to measure the deviation between the model output and the actual observations. The objective function uses the mean squared error (MSE). ;in, V j This is the performance degradation state predicted by the model. These are actual observed values ​​(calculated from sensor data). N That is the number of samples.

[0037] S202: Select and calibrate key parameters The key parameter selection and calibration module 209 is connected to the objective function construction module 208 via a cable. Based on sensitivity analysis, it selects key parameters that significantly affect the model output. Let the parameter set be P (e.g., the conditional probability of a Bayesian network), and the sensitivity S be calculated as follows: Where Y represents the state after the parameter changes. Y 0P is the baseline state, P is the changed parameter, P0 is the baseline parameter. A positive sensitivity indicates that the variable and parameter change in the same direction, while a negative sensitivity indicates the opposite direction. Based on the sensitivity results, the gradient descent method is used to adjust the parameter to minimize the objective function H'. For example, if the sensitivity analysis shows that the conditional probability of corrosion rate has the greatest impact on the output, then this parameter should be adjusted first.

[0038] Remaining useful life calculation steps: S301: Determine the failure threshold for underwater production systems The underwater production system failure threshold determination module 211 is connected to the key parameter selection and calibration module 209 via a cable, and determines the failure threshold A based on the limit state method. th When the system performance degradation A ≥ A th At that time, the system failed, A th According to system design specifications or safety standards, for example, regarding the overall performance degradation, A th Setting it to 0.8 (normalized value) corresponds to a system performance drop to 80% of the initial value.

[0039] S302: Obtain the time when the threshold is reached The threshold acquisition module 212 is connected to the underwater production system failure threshold determination module 211 via a cable, and calculates the time from the current moment until the performance degradation A reaches A. th The remaining useful life, T: T = inf{t: A(t) ≥ A th}; where A(t) is the performance degradation at time t, obtained through the prediction model. For example, if the current A=0.4, and the prediction model shows that A increases by 0.1 per year, then T=(0.8-0.4) / 0.1=4 years.

[0040] This embodiment improves the accuracy and robustness of the prediction model by dynamically selecting important indicators through a multi-indicator real-time competition mechanism. The model calibration mechanism ensures the adaptability of the model under different working conditions. The remaining service life calculation is based on the failure threshold, providing a scientific basis for maintenance decisions. For example, in the deep-sea high-pressure environment, this method can effectively identify key indicators such as corrosion and leakage, avoiding the limitations of single-indicator prediction.

[0041] Example 2: A multi-index competitive underwater system lifetime prediction method comprises three steps: multi-index real-time competitive prediction model construction, model calibration, and remaining lifetime calculation.

[0042] The specific steps for constructing a multi-index real-time competitive prediction model are as follows: S101: Determine the main failure factors of the subsea production system. Based on the typical failure modes of key equipment such as subsea wellheads during long-term service, and combined with historical failure data, expert knowledge and on-site monitoring information, identify multiple failure factors that have a significant impact on system performance degradation, reflecting multiple degradation dimensions such as structural integrity, motion performance, and environmental adaptability.

[0043] S102: Indicator normalization processing, setting the fluctuation range for each indicator, and presetting the maximum allowable corrosion rate, [x] m1 , ..., x mn [ ] represents the extreme values ​​of different indices under the maximum allowable degradation rate.

[0044] Where X is the set of indicators, X n Represents different indicators; W is the fluctuation range matrix of each indicator, x mn This represents the m-th fluctuation value of the n-th indicator, and W is normalized.

[0045] Where W' is the normalized fluctuation range matrix of each indicator, x mn ' represents the m-th fluctuation value of the n-th indicator after normalization, [x m1 ',...,x mn Each element is 1.

[0046] S103: Determining weighting coefficients; such as Figure 1 As shown, based on the Bayesian network degradation model under the influence of multiple index factors, the sensitivity of each index to the corrosion degradation result is analyzed, and the weight coefficients of each index are determined according to the sensitivity analysis results.

[0047] Where Y is the sensitivity set, y n This indicates the sensitivity of degradation to different indicators, y n ' represents the weight of different indicators, and a is the maximum value of set Y.

[0048] S104: Real-time competition among multiple indicators; based on the data collection results of each indicator, normalization processing is performed on each indicator, and competition thresholds for different indicators are set: Th={T h1 ,T h2 ,K,T hn When a normalized index exceeds the competition threshold, the index passes the competition. In a prediction model with real-time competition among multiple indices, the Bayesian network degradation model of that index will be effectively used.

[0049] S105: Predictive model construction: Based on the collected data, establish a predictive model with real-time competition among multiple indicators, and implement a competition method based on multiple indicators to filter out indicators that exceed their respective thresholds in real time.

[0050] Performance degradation state V: ;where f(X) i Let be the Bayesian network degradation model for the i-th index. When the normalized result of this index exceeds the competition threshold, l i If it is 1, then I i It is 0.

[0051] The specific steps of model calibration are as follows: S201: Construct the objective function and define the objective function of model calibration to measure the degree of deviation between the model output and the actual physical observation. The principle of constructing the objective function is to make the output of the model after parameter calibration as close as possible to the real physical result. Model calibration can ensure the accuracy of the model and better adapt to different application needs, conditions and scenarios.

[0052] S202: Select and calibrate key parameters; based on sensitivity analysis, determine the key parameters that significantly affect the model output. Let the objective function be H´=g(H, S), select the parameter H to be calibrated, and calculate the corresponding sensitivity S: In the formula, S is the sensitivity, Y is the state after the change, Y0 is the state before the change, P is the model parameter after the change, and P0 is the baseline model parameter. A positive sensitivity indicates that the variable and the parameter change in the same direction, that is, the increase or decrease of the model parameter causes the variable to increase or decrease as well. A negative sensitivity indicates that the variable and the parameter change in opposite directions.

[0053] The specific steps for calculating the remaining useful life are as follows: S301: Determine the failure threshold of the underwater production system. When the predicted object degrades for a period of time under internal factors and external influences, its performance gradually degrades. The failure threshold is determined by the limit state method. When the performance is lower than the failure threshold, the system will not be able to complete normal operation.

[0059] The following is a description of the technical effects of this invention: Taking the indicators (failure factors) of competing failures as fluid flow rate, carbon dioxide partial pressure, external corrosion and H2S corrosion as examples.

[0060] The sensitivity analysis results of this invention are shown in the table below: Where Ti refers to the degree of influence of temperature on the H2S corrosion rate; pco2 refers to the influence of carbon dioxide partial pressure on the corrosion rate; vo refers to the influence of internal fluid flow rate on the corrosion rate; To refers to the influence of external ambient temperature on the external corrosion rate; and pdo refers to the influence of dissolved oxygen partial pressure in the external environment on the corrosion rate.

[0061] Figure 4 For corrosion depth prediction, the failure threshold is 20 mm. Considering the cumulative corrosion depth of each model, the degradation rate is significantly accelerated, reaching the failure threshold in the 12th year. In this invention, the corrosion of each model, from highest to lowest, is influenced by fluid velocity, carbon dioxide partial pressure, external corrosion, and H2S corrosion, exhibiting a basically linear change. In this invention, the H2S content is fixed, and its impact on overall corrosion mainly depends on temperature.

[0062] Figure 5The probability distributions of corrosion depth for different indices represent the probability distributions of corrosion depth under single-model degradation modeling. The probability distribution of H2S corrosion is read from the upper coordinate (H2S corrosion depth) and the right coordinate (H2S corrosion probability), while the probability distributions of other factors are read from the left coordinate (corrosion probability) and the lower coordinate (corrosion depth). The probability distributions of the effects of temperature and external corrosion both follow a normal distribution, with relatively small distribution areas for corrosion depth. The probability distribution of the effect of temperature on corrosion depth is more concentrated, and the corrosion depth of external corrosion is distributed in the range of 0.15~0.265, because the indices affecting both follow a normal distribution. Compared to the external environment, the internal environment is more complex, resulting in deeper corrosion. The effect of carbon dioxide partial pressure approximates a normal distribution centered at 0.45, with a distribution range of 0~1mm. At a corrosion depth of 0.92mm, the probability distribution of the effect of fluid velocity is slightly wider than that of the effect of external corrosion, increasing slowly from 0 to 0.8mm, but rapidly from 0.8 to 0.92mm. Therefore, in a single corrosion degradation model, the influence of internal corrosion is greater than that of external corrosion, and among the factors affecting internal corrosion, the influence of fluid velocity deserves special attention and control.

[0063] Figure 6 The corrosion depth is determined by real-time competition among multiple indicators at the initial moment. The corrosion depth at the initial moment is read from the right coordinate (corrosion depth at the initial moment) and the top coordinate (probability distribution at the initial moment), while the predicted corrosion depth is read from the left coordinate (corrosion depth) and the bottom coordinate (time).

[0064] Figure 7 To determine the multi-indicator competition trend, a real-time multi-indicator competition algorithm was adopted for each indicator (Ti, pco2, vo, To, pdo). Data for each indicator was monitored and extracted in real time at different stages, and normalization was performed to obtain the real-time competition trend. Blue represents the results of the first monitoring calculation, where all indicators are within the 0.3 range, with seawater flow velocity having a significant impact. Green represents the results of the second monitoring calculation, where the flow velocities of both internal and external media are significantly higher than other indicators, with the internal fluid flow velocity approaching its corresponding threshold, indicating that the real-time multi-indicator competition algorithm needs updating. Yellow represents the results of the third monitoring calculation, where the marine environmental temperature and internal fluid flow velocity exceed their corresponding thresholds, and the dissolved oxygen concentration in seawater changes significantly, but remains within a safe range.

[0065] Figure 8 Numerical results from four methods (traditional monitoring model, physical model, cumulative model, and the present invention) on the same test set are presented. In underwater production systems, a model that is accurate for one month can bring huge production benefits and reduce maintenance costs. This model can perform degradation prediction of multiple indicators and improve accuracy by more than one year, which is more advanced than existing technologies.

[0066] The technical advantages of this application are also reflected in the following aspects: This method can maintain stable prediction accuracy under complex operating conditions such as incomplete monitoring data, sensor drift, and noise enhancement, which is difficult to achieve simultaneously by traditional monitoring models, physical models, and cumulative models; The model correction mechanism of this application can update the degradation rate, probability distribution parameters, and uncertainty propagation law, so that the prediction can still maintain high stability when the operating conditions change in the later stage, while the comparison methods are mostly one-time modeling with fixed parameters, which is difficult to adapt to changes in operating conditions; This application provides the model construction process in the specification, including the meaning of key parameters, calculation methods, update conditions, and data sources, which can be adapted by those skilled in the art to model according to different scenarios and different equipment.

[0067] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
