[0003] At present, there are two methods for monitoring overflow and loss. One is to monitor overflow and loss by measuring the mud volume in each mud pit through installing liquid level sensors in the mud tank.

[0029] Embodiment 1

[0030] As shown in the attached Figure 1 figures, for the overflow and loss monitoring of conventional drilling, the adopted overflow and loss monitoring and alarm system includes: an overflow and loss monitoring skid 1, a data acquisition device 2, an overflow and loss monitoring device 3, and an alarm device 4;

[0031] A mass flowmeter 11 is provided on the overflow and loss monitoring skid 1;

[0032] The data acquisition device 2 includes a PLC 21 and a mud logging industrial control computer 22. The mass flowmeter 11 is connected to the PLC 21.

The drilling parameters collected by the mud logging industrial control computer 22 include weight on bit, penetration rate, rotary table speed, total hydrocarbon of gas logging, well depth, and bit depth;

[0033] The overflow and loss monitoring device 3 is provided with a data input module 32. The parameters input by the data input module 32 are stored in the database 31. The input parameters include warning parameters, alarm parameters, mud pump liner size, drill string parameters, wellbore structure, and stroke length. The database 31 feeds back the parameters input by the data input module 32 and the drilling parameters collected in real time by the PLC 21 and the mud logging industrial control computer 22 to the digital display module 33, the graphic display module 34, and the data processing module 35 provided in the overflow and loss monitoring device 3. After being processed by the data processing module 35, it is fed back to the alarm device 4;

[0034] The alarm device 4 receives the instructions sent by the overflow and loss monitoring device 3 and executes the alarm. The alarm device 4 includes a driller display alarm 41, a supervisor display alarm 42, and an engineer display alarm 43. All three are connected to the data processing module 35 through a network cable.

[0035] In this structure, the mass flowmeter 11 is connected to the PLC 21 through a network cable and transmits the collected information to the PLC 21. The PLC 21, the mud logging industrial control computer 22, and the data input module 32 are respectively connected to the database 31 of the overflow and loss monitoring device 3 through a network cable. The data processing module 35 is connected to the alarm device 4 through a network cable. The database 31 of the overflow and loss monitoring device 3 is connected to the digital display module 33, the graphic display module 34, and the data processing module 35 of the overflow and loss monitoring device 3 through data lines.

[0036] Among them, the overflow loss monitoring skid 1 includes a return slurry pipe 12, a first branch pipe 13, a second branch pipe 14, a third branch pipe 15 and a tee 16. The first branch pipe 13 and the second branch pipe 14 are respectively connected to the return slurry pipe 12, and the tee 16 is respectively connected to the first branch pipe 13, the second branch pipe 14 and the third branch pipe 15. A control pressure pipe connection port 151 and a kill pipe connection port 152 are respectively arranged on the third branch pipe 15. A first valve 121 is arranged on the return slurry pipe 12 between the connection port of the first branch pipe 13 and the connection port of the second branch pipe 14. A second valve 131 is arranged on the first branch pipe 13. A third valve 141 is arranged on the second branch pipe 14. A fourth valve 153 is arranged at the control pressure pipe connection port 151. A fifth valve 154 is arranged at the kill pipe connection port 152. The mass flowmeter 11 is arranged on the second branch pipe 14. The inlet of the return slurry pipe 12 is connected to an anti-overflow pipe, and the outlet is connected to a mud tank.

[0037] During drilling monitoring, the second valve 131 and the third valve 141 are opened, and the first valve 121, the fourth valve 153 and the fifth valve 154 are closed. The returned mud passes through the return slurry pipe 12, the mass flowmeter 11 of the overflow loss monitoring skid 1, then returns to the return slurry pipe 12, flows into the mud return trough and then enters the mud tank. Through the opening and closing of the above valves, the returned mud passes through the overflow loss monitoring skid 1, and the outlet flow rate and outlet pressure are monitored, so as to realize data acquisition.

[0038] During kill monitoring, the kill throttle channel, the fourth valve 153 and the third valve 141 are opened, and the first valve 121, the second valve 131 and the fifth valve 154 are closed. The returned mud passes through the kill throttle manifold, flows through the mass flowmeter 11 of the overflow loss monitoring skid 1, then returns to the return slurry pipe 12, flows into the mud return trough and then enters the mud tank. The returned mud passes through the overflow loss monitoring skid 1, and the outlet flow rate and outlet pressure are obtained, so as to realize data acquisition.

[0039] The principle and process of the overflow loss monitoring of this system are as follows:

[0040] (1) Data acquisition step: The parameters of the mass flowmeter 11 collected by the PLC 21 in the data acquisition device 2, as well as the drilling parameters (inlet flow rate, outlet flow rate, riser pressure, outlet pressure, mud tank liquid level) and the drilling parameters (drilling pressure, drilling time, rotary table speed, gas logging total hydrocarbon, well depth and bit depth) collected by the mud logging industrial computer 22 are collected;

[0041] (2) Parameter setting step: The parameters (pre-alarm parameters, alarm parameters, mud pump liner size, drill string parameters, wellbore structure and stroke length) input by the data input module 32 are stored in the database 31 of the overflow loss monitoring device 3;

[0042] (3) Calculation, comparison, decision-making, pre-alarm and alarm steps: Calculate the difference between the inlet and outlet volumes using the difference between the inlet flow rate and the outlet flow rate, and display the data and curve graphs. In the alarm parameter settings, when the weight on bit, rotary table speed, and inlet flow rate remain unchanged, if the rate of penetration changes, it indicates that the formation lithology has changed, and it is possible to drill into an overflow or lost circulation formation, and a pre-alarm for overflow or lost circulation is carried out. The calculation formula for the inlet flow rate = 3 × 3.14 × D 2 / 4 × L × V × Q, where D is the diameter of the mud pump liner; L is the stroke length; V is the pump speed; Q is the pump efficiency; the difference between the inlet and outlet flow rates = outlet flow rate - inlet flow rate. When the difference between the inlet and outlet flow rates is positive, it is an overflow, and when it is negative, it is a lost circulation; When a positive value is obtained, it is the overflow volume, and when a negative value is obtained, it is the lost circulation volume. i is the time point, in seconds, and must be greater than 1 and an integer. n is the time period and is an integer; The measured weight on bit collected is the average of the measured weight on bit at n time points = (WOB1 + WOB2 + WOB3 +..... + WOBn) / n. Set the stable weight on bit range, and compare the collected weight on bit with the set stable weight on bit range. If it does not exceed this range, the system determines that the weight on bit is stable. If it exceeds this range, the system determines that the weight on bit is unstable and cannot be used as a judgment basis, that is, no decision-making alarm is carried out; The measured rotary table speed collected is the average of the measured rotary table speed at n time points = (RPM1 + RPM2 + RPM3 +..... + RPMn) / n. Set the stable rotary table speed range, and compare the collected rotary table speed with the set stable rotary table speed range. If it does not exceed this range, the system determines that the rotary table speed is stable. If it exceeds this range, the system determines that the rotary table speed is unstable and cannot be used as a judgment basis, that is, no decision-making alarm is carried out; The measured inlet flow rate collected is the average of the measured inlet flow rate at n time points = (inlet flow rate 1 + inlet flow rate 2 + inlet flow rate 3 +..... + inlet flow rate n) / n. Set the stable inlet flow rate range. If it does not exceed this range, the system determines that the inlet flow rate is stable. If it exceeds this range, the system determines that the inlet flow rate is unstable and cannot be used as a judgment basis, that is, no decision-making alarm is carried out; The measured rate of penetration collected is the average of the measured rate of penetration at n time points = (ROP1 + ROP2 + ROP3 +..... + ROPn) / n. Set the stable rate of penetration range. If it does not exceed this range, the system determines that the rate of penetration is stable. If it exceeds this range, the system determines that the rate of penetration has accelerated or slowed down, and it is possible to drill into a new formation, indicating that there may be an overflow or lost circulation. The system issues a pre-alarm; Set the alarm limit value for the cumulative overflow volume or lost circulation volume in the alarm parameters, and issue an alarm when the limit value is exceeded.

[0043] In some improved technical solutions, the alarm limit values for the cumulative overflow volume or leakage volume set in the alarm parameters include a first-level alarm limit value and a second-level alarm limit value. When the first-level alarm limit value is exceeded, a first-level alarm is issued; when the second-level alarm limit value is exceeded, a second-level alarm is issued to confirm that overflow or leakage has occurred, and the well team is required to immediately shut in the well.

[0044] Embodiment 2

[0045] As shown in the attached Figure 2 figure, for the conventional drilling overflow and leakage monitoring, the adopted overflow and leakage monitoring and alarm system includes: an overflow and leakage monitoring skid 1, a data acquisition device 2, an overflow and leakage monitoring device 3, and an alarm device 4;

[0046] A mass flowmeter 11 is provided on the overflow and leakage monitoring skid 1;

[0047] The data acquisition device 2 includes a PLC 21 and a logging industrial computer 22. The mass flowmeter 11 is connected to the PLC 21.

After being processed by the data processing module 35, it is fed back to the alarm device 4;

[0049] The alarm device 4 receives the instructions sent by the overflow and leakage monitoring device 3 and executes the alarm. The alarm device 4 includes a driller display alarm 41, a supervisor display alarm 42, and an engineer display alarm 43, and all three are connected to the data processing module 35 through a network cable.

[0050] In this structure, the mass flowmeter 11 is connected to the PLC 21 through a network cable, and transmits the collected information to the PLC 21. The PLC 21, the mud logging industrial control computer 22, and the data input module 32 are respectively connected to the database 31 of the overflow and loss monitoring device 3 through network cables. The data processing module 35 is connected to the alarm device 4 through a network cable. The database 31 of the overflow and loss monitoring device 3 is respectively connected to the digital display module 33, the graphic display module 34, and the data processing module 35 of the overflow and loss monitoring device 3 through data lines.

[0051] Among them, the overflow and loss monitoring skid 1 includes a return mud pipe 12, a first branch pipe 13, a second branch pipe 14, a third branch pipe 15, and a tee 16. The first branch pipe 13 and the second branch pipe 14 are respectively connected to the return mud pipe 12. The tee 16 is respectively connected to the first branch pipe 13, the second branch pipe 14, and the third branch pipe 15. A control pressure pipe connection port 151 and a kill pipe connection port 152 are respectively arranged on the third branch pipe 15. A first valve 121 is arranged on the return mud pipe 12 between the connection port of the first branch pipe 13 and the connection port of the second branch pipe 14. A second valve 131 is arranged on the first branch pipe 13. A third valve 141 is arranged on the second branch pipe 14. A fourth valve 153 is arranged at the control pressure pipe connection port 151. A fifth valve 154 is arranged at the kill pipe connection port 152. The mass flowmeter 11 is arranged on the second branch pipe 14. The inlet of the return mud pipe 12 is connected to an anti-overflow pipe, and the outlet is connected to a mud tank. A rotating control head 17 is connected to the inlet of the return mud pipe 12, and the rotating control head 17 is connected to the overflow pipe. A sixth valve 122 is arranged at the inlet of the return mud pipe 12, and a seventh valve 123 is arranged on the control pressure throttle pipe.

[0052] During the underbalanced well monitoring process, the sixth valve 122, the first valve 121, the second valve 131, and the fourth valve 153 are closed, and the seventh valve 123, the fourth valve 153, and the third valve 141 are opened. The returned mud enters the mass flowmeter 11 of the overflow and loss monitoring skid 1 through the rotating control head 17 and the control pressure throttle manifold, then returns to the return mud pipe 12, flows into the mud return trough and then into the mud tank. By passing through the overflow and loss monitoring skid 1, the outlet flow rate and outlet pressure of the returned mud are obtained, thereby realizing the overflow and loss monitoring.

[0053] The principle and process of the overflow and loss monitoring of this system are as follows:

[0054] (1) Data acquisition step: Collect the parameters of the mass flowmeter 11 and the drilling parameters (inlet flow rate, outlet flow rate, riser pressure, outlet pressure, mud tank liquid level) collected by the PLC 21 in the data acquisition device 2, and the drilling parameters (drilling pressure, drilling time, rotary table speed, gas logging total hydrocarbon, well depth, and bit depth) collected by the mud logging industrial control computer 22.

[0055] (2) Parameter setting steps: Store the parameters (pre-alarm parameters, alarm parameters, mud pump liner size, drill string parameters, wellbore structure, and stroke length) input by the data input module 32 into the database 31 of the overflow and leakage monitoring device 3.

[0056] (3) Calculation, comparison, decision-making, pre-alarm, and alarm steps: Calculate the difference between the inlet and outlet flow rates using the difference between the inlet flow rate and the outlet flow rate, and display the data and curve graphics. When the weight on bit, rotary table speed, and inlet flow rate are set to be constant in the alarm parameter settings, if the rate of penetration changes, it indicates that the formation lithology has changed, and it is possible to drill into an overflow or leakage formation, and a pre-alarm for overflow or leakage is issued. The calculation formula for the inlet flow rate = 3 × 3.14 × D 2 / 4 × L × V × Q, where D is the diameter of the mud pump liner; L is the stroke length; V is the pump speed; Q is the pump efficiency; the difference between the inlet and outlet flow rates = outlet flow rate - inlet flow rate, where when the difference between the inlet and outlet flow rates is positive, it is an overflow, and when it is negative, it is a leakage; When a positive value is obtained, it is the overflow volume, and when a negative value is obtained, it is the leakage volume. i is the time point, in seconds, and must be greater than 1 and an integer. n is the time period and is an integer; the measured weight on bit collected is the average value of the measured weight on bit at n time points = (WOB1 + WOB2 + WOB3 +..... + WOBn) / n. Set the stable weight on bit range, and compare the collected weight on bit with the set stable weight on bit range. If it does not exceed this range, the system determines that the weight on bit is stable. If it exceeds this range, the system determines that the weight on bit is unstable and cannot be used as a judgment basis, that is, no decision-making alarm is made; the measured rotary table speed collected is the average value of the measured rotary table speed at n time points = (RPM1 + RPM2 + RPM3 +..... + RPMn) / n. Set the stable rotary table speed range, and compare the collected rotary table speed with the set stable rotary table speed range. If it does not exceed this range, the system determines that the rotary table speed is stable. If it exceeds this range, the system determines that the rotary table speed is unstable and cannot be used as a judgment basis, that is, no decision-making alarm is made; the measured inlet flow rate collected is the average value of the measured inlet flow rate at n time points = (inlet flow rate 1 + inlet flow rate 2 + inlet flow rate 3 +..... + inlet flow rate n) / n. Set the stable inlet flow rate range. If it does not exceed this range, the system determines that the inlet flow rate is stable. If it exceeds this range, the system determines that the inlet flow rate is unstable and cannot be used as a judgment basis, that is, no decision-making alarm is made; the measured rate of penetration collected is the average value of the measured rate of penetration at n time points = (ROP1 + ROP2 + ROP3 +..... + ROPn) / n. Set the stable rate of penetration range. If it does not exceed this range, the system determines that the rate of penetration is stable. If it exceeds this range, the system determines that the rate of penetration has accelerated or slowed down, and it is possible to drill into a new formation, indicating that there may be an overflow or leakage. The system issues a pre-alarm; set the alarm limit value for the cumulative overflow volume or leakage volume in the alarm parameters, and issue an alarm when the limit value is exceeded.

[0057] In some improved technical solutions, the alarm limit values for the cumulative overflow volume or leakage volume set in the alarm parameters include a primary alarm limit value and a secondary alarm limit value. When the primary alarm limit value is exceeded, a primary alarm is issued; when the secondary alarm limit value is exceeded, a secondary alarm is issued to confirm that overflow or leakage has occurred, and the well team is required to immediately shut in the well.
