Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of drilling fluid flow sampling, and particularly relates to a drilling fluid flow signal sampling, processing and control device. Background Technique

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous enhancement of the domestic oil and gas exploration and development efforts, the depth and scale of oil and gas well drilling have both increased significantly. This has not only brought a sharp increase in production tasks and the complication of the operation environment, but also greatly increased the well control risk, resulting in frequent overflow and leakage accidents during the drilling process. As a key parameter for monitoring drilling safety, the accurate measurement of the drilling inlet flow is crucial for early detection and warning of overflow and leakage, and it can effectively prevent the further deterioration of drilling complications. However, in the face of the complex and changeable working conditions at the drilling site, as well as the influence of the high viscosity, high solid particle content of the drilling fluid and the drastic fluctuation of the fluid pressure, the existing flowmeter products often fail to meet the actual operation requirements, and often suffer from a decrease in measurement accuracy or damage due to being unable to withstand high pressure.

[0003] Traditional drilling fluid flow signal sampling, processing and control devices mainly include a sensor module, a data acquisition and processing module, and a main control module. The sensor module is arranged in the pipeline where the drilling fluid flows, and it converts the flow velocity or flow rate of the drilling fluid into an electrical signal and immediately transmits it to the data acquisition and processing module in the control room; after filtering and amplifying the signal, the data acquisition and processing module then transmits it to the main control module arranged in the control room. The main control module analyzes the received signal according to a preset algorithm and immediately triggers an alarm once abnormal flow is detected. These devices cooperate together to achieve accurate monitoring of the drilling fluid flow.

[0004] However, the application of traditional drilling fluid flow signal sampling, processing and control devices in complex terrains has many limitations. There is usually a physical connection between the sensor module and the data acquisition and processing module, which not only limits the length of the connection (too long may lead to inaccurate data, a messy on-site layout, and a large occupied space; too short will limit the equipment layout and affect the ability of operators to take shelter in case of emergency, thus endangering well control safety), but also increases the impracticality in complex terrains; in addition, the complex connection between modules not only makes the equipment difficult to transport, but also increases the maintenance difficulty. More importantly, traditional devices generally adopt a single-channel design for flow signal sampling. This design is prone to inaccurate flow data when the sensor fails, which in turn affects the timeliness of the alarm and brings potential safety hazards to drilling operations. Content of the Utility Model
