[0031] Embodiment 1

[0032] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of a drilling fluid volume monitoring device provided in Embodiment 1 of the present utility model. This embodiment is applicable to the situation of automatically monitoring the volume of drilling fluid.

[0033] As Figure 1 shown, the device includes: a cable displacement sensor 1, a signal acquisition box 2, a control computer 3, an LED display screen 4, and a power supply unit 5; among them: the cable displacement sensor 1 is installed at the top of the float scale on the drilling fluid tank, and is used to detect the pointer movement distance of the float scale; the signal acquisition box 2 is installed on the guardrail at the edge of the drilling fluid tank and is connected to the cable displacement sensor 1, and is used to collect the signal of the cable displacement sensor 1; the control computer 3 is connected to the signal acquisition box 2, and is used to perform data processing on the detection signals collected by the signal acquisition box 2; the LED display screen 4 is installed in the area of the drilling fluid tank and is connected to the control computer 3, and is used to obtain the data processed by the control computer 3 and display it; the power supply unit 5 is used to provide working power for the signal acquisition box 2, the control computer 3, and the LED display screen 4.

[0034] Among them, the control computer 3 can be connected to the signal acquisition box 2 through a network cable or a data bus (such as an RS485 bus). The control computer 3 has relevant software for data processing and calculation inside, can obtain the detection signal of the cable displacement sensor 1 and convert it into a physical quantity, and calculates information such as the volume of drilling fluid in each drilling fluid tank and its change amount, and the total volume of drilling fluid and its change amount through data processing. The LED display screen 4 can be connected to the control computer 3 through a data bus.

[0035] Among them, the control computer 3 can be used to: determine the drilling fluid volume in each drilling fluid tank at each detection moment and the change amount of the drilling fluid volume between adjacent detection moments according to the pointer movement distance of the float scale at different detection moments; determine the total drilling fluid volume at each detection moment and the change amount of the total drilling fluid volume between adjacent detection moments according to the drilling fluid volume in each drilling fluid tank at each detection moment.

[0036] Specifically, the pointer movement distance of the float scale at different detection moments can be detected by the rope displacement sensor 1 at the top of the float scale installed on the drilling fluid tank, and then the drilling fluid volume in each drilling fluid tank at each detection moment can be determined according to the pointer movement distance of the float scale at different detection moments and the volume of the drilling fluid tank. Furthermore, for each drilling fluid tank, by subtracting the drilling fluid volume in the drilling fluid tank at the previous detection moment from the drilling fluid volume in the drilling fluid tank at the subsequent detection moment among adjacent detection moments, the change amount of the drilling fluid volume in each drilling fluid tank between adjacent detection moments can be obtained.

[0037] Furthermore, for each detection moment, by summing up the drilling fluid volumes in each drilling fluid tank, the total drilling fluid volume at each detection moment can be obtained. Then, by subtracting the total drilling fluid volume in the drilling fluid tanks at the previous detection moment from the total drilling fluid volume in the drilling fluid tanks at the subsequent detection moment among adjacent detection moments, the change amount of the total drilling fluid volume between adjacent detection moments can be obtained.

[0038] The technical solution of the embodiment of the utility model provides a drilling fluid volume monitoring device, including a pull-rope displacement sensor, a signal acquisition box, a control computer, an LED display screen and a power supply unit; wherein: the pull-rope displacement sensor is installed at the top of the float scale on the drilling fluid pool, and is used to detect the moving distance of the pointer of the float scale; the signal acquisition box is installed on the guardrail at the edge of the drilling fluid pool, and is connected to the pull-rope displacement sensor, and is used to collect the signal of the pull-rope displacement sensor; the control computer is connected to the signal acquisition box, and is used to process the detection signal collected by the signal acquisition box; the LED display screen is installed in the drilling fluid pool area, and is connected to the control computer, and is used to obtain and display the data processed by the control computer; the power supply unit is used to provide working power for the signal acquisition box, the control computer and the LED display screen. This technical solution can automatically detect the drilling fluid volume through the pull-rope displacement sensor installed at the top of the float scale, and display it in real time and intuitively through the LED display screen installed in the drilling fluid pool area, thereby improving the accuracy, efficiency and real-time performance of drilling fluid volume monitoring, and helping to ensure well control safety. The device is suitable for installation by all drilling teams. Only simple sensor technology transformation of the existing float scale is required to realize the digitization and Internet of Things of the drilling float scale, providing a better experience and effect for on-the-job work, improving the direct readability and traceability of drilling fluid volume data, and enhancing the level of drilling well control management.

[0039] Embodiment 2

[0040] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of another drilling fluid volume monitoring device provided in Embodiment 2 of the present utility model. This embodiment is optimized based on the above embodiment.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the device also includes a working condition detection sensor 6 and an audible and visual alarm 7; wherein the working condition detection sensor 6 is installed on the drilling equipment and is used to detect the operating status of the drilling equipment; the signal acquisition box 2 is connected to the working condition detection sensor 6 and is used to collect the signal of the working condition detection sensor 6; the audible and visual alarm 7 is connected to the LED display screen 4 and is used to make an abnormal alarm based on the data processed by the control computer 3; the power supply unit 5 is also used to provide working power for the audible and visual alarm 7.

[0042] The sound and light alarm 7 is installed beside the LED display screen 4 and can be connected to the relay installed inside the LED display screen 4 through a signal line. When the control computer 3 detects that the processed data is abnormal, it can send an abnormal alarm signal to the LED display screen 4, so that the abnormal data on the LED display screen 4 is displayed in a bright color (such as red), and at the same time triggers the relay inside the LED display screen 4 to close, thereby causing the sound and light alarm 7 to sound an alarm.

[0043] In this embodiment, optionally, the working condition detection sensor 6 includes: a drawworks sensor, a hook load sensor, a pump stroke sensor, a riser pressure sensor, and a rotary table speed sensor. It should be noted that in this embodiment, it is not limited that the working condition detection sensor 6 only includes the above sensors, and other types of sensors that can be used for detecting the operating state of the drilling equipment can also be included, and can be specifically set flexibly according to the actual detection requirements.

[0044] In this embodiment, optionally, the wire rope displacement sensor 1 and the working condition detection sensor 6 adopt wired sensors. Among them, wired sensors need to be pre-wired, but once the wiring is completed, no other operations are required during subsequent use.

[0045] In this embodiment, optionally, the wire rope displacement sensor 1 and the working condition detection sensor 6 adopt wireless sensors. Among them, wireless sensors do not require time-consuming wiring, avoiding the trouble of wiring, but the battery needs to be replaced regularly to provide working power for the wireless sensors. Exemplarily, wireless transmission methods such as zigbee or lora can be selected.

[0046] In this embodiment, optionally, the control computer 3 is further configured to: determine the current drilling working condition according to the current operating state of the drilling equipment; wherein, the drilling working condition is one of drilling, making a connection, running in or pulling out of the hole.

[0047] Among them, the current operating state may refer to the operating state of the drilling equipment at the current detection moment. The current drilling working condition may refer to the drilling working condition at the current detection moment. In this embodiment, different types of working condition detection sensors 6 need to be pre-installed on the corresponding drilling equipment, the operating state of the corresponding drilling equipment is detected by various types of working condition detection sensors 6, and the operating state of the drilling equipment is transmitted to the control computer 3 through the signal acquisition box 2. The control computer 3 can judge the drilling working condition by combining the operating states of the drilling equipment detected by various types of working condition detection sensors 6.

[0048] In this embodiment, optionally, the control computer 3 is further configured to: if the current drilling working condition is drilling and the change amount of the total volume of the drilling fluid at adjacent detection moments is not within the first interval, control the sound and light alarm 7 to give an abnormal alarm.

[0049] In this embodiment, the control computer 3 can also preset alarm thresholds for different drilling conditions. Among them, the first interval can refer to the normal interval range of the total volume change of the drilling fluid preset in advance, and the two end values of the first interval are usually set as opposite numbers. Specifically, if the control computer 3 determines that the current drilling condition is drilling and the total volume change of the drilling fluid at adjacent detection times is not within the first interval, it indicates that the total volume change of the drilling fluid is abnormal. At this time, the control computer 3 can send an abnormal alarm signal to the LED display screen 4 to trigger the relay in the LED display screen 4 to close to control the sound and light alarm 7 to give an abnormal alarm.

[0050] Furthermore, a normal interval range of the volume change of the drilling fluid can be preset for each drilling fluid tank in advance. If it is detected that the volume change of the drilling fluid in a certain drilling fluid tank is not within its corresponding normal interval range, it indicates that the volume change of the drilling fluid in this drilling fluid tank is abnormal. At this time, the sound and light alarm 7 can be controlled to give an abnormal alarm.

[0051] In this embodiment, optionally, the control computer 3 is further configured to: if the current drilling condition is making a connection or adding a stand, obtain the drilling fluid return flow rate; if the drilling fluid return flow rate is not within the second interval, control the sound and light alarm 7 to give an abnormal alarm.

[0052] It should be noted that during making a connection or adding a stand, due to the reasons of starting and stopping the pump, the total volume change of the drilling fluid will change. Specifically, starting the pump will cause the total volume change of the drilling fluid to decrease, and stopping the pump will cause the total volume change of the drilling fluid to increase. In this case, it is also possible that the total volume change of the drilling fluid is not within the first interval. If an alarm is directly issued at this time, it will cause false alarms. Therefore, in order to avoid false alarms caused by starting and stopping the pump during the making a connection or adding a stand condition, making a connection or adding a stand is judged as a special condition in this embodiment.

[0053] Among them, the second interval can refer to the normal interval range of the drilling fluid return flow rate preset in advance, and the two end values of the second interval are usually set as opposite numbers. Specifically, if the control computer 3 determines that the current drilling condition is making a connection or adding a stand, first obtain the drilling fluid return flow rate caused by the reasons of starting and stopping the pump. If the drilling fluid return flow rate is not within the second interval, it indicates that the drilling fluid return flow rate is abnormal. At this time, the sound and light alarm 7 can be controlled to give an abnormal alarm.

[0054] In this embodiment, optionally, the control computer 3 is further configured to: if the current drilling condition is pulling out the drill string, determine the theoretical amount of drilling fluid to be injected according to the wellbore structure and the structure of the drill string equipment; based on the cumulative difference between the actual amount of drilling fluid injected and the theoretical amount of drilling fluid injected, determine whether there is a well leakage or a well kick; if there is a well leakage or a well kick, control the sound and light alarm 7 to give an abnormal alarm.

[0055] Specifically, if the control computer 3 determines that the current drilling operation condition is pulling out the drill string, first automatically calculate the theoretical volume of drilling fluid to be poured in according to the pre-input wellbore structure and drill string structure. Since the drill string is taken out in multiple times (not all at once), each time corresponds to an actual volume of drilling fluid poured in and a theoretical volume of drilling fluid poured in. Therefore, there are multiple sets of actual and theoretical volumes of drilling fluid poured in. Then calculate the cumulative pouring difference based on the difference between the actual and theoretical volumes of drilling fluid poured in for each set, and determine whether the cumulative pouring difference is within the third interval to determine whether there is a well leakage or overflow. Among them, the third interval can refer to the normal interval range of the pre-set cumulative pouring difference, and the two end values of the third interval are usually set as opposite numbers, such as ±1 cubic meter. Exemplarily, taking the third interval as [-1, 1] as an example, if the cumulative pouring difference is greater than 1 cubic meter, it indicates a well leakage; if the cumulative pouring difference is less than -1 cubic meter, it indicates an overflow. If it is detected that there is a well leakage or overflow, control the sound and light alarm 7 to give an abnormal alarm.

[0056] In this embodiment, optionally, the control computer 3 is further configured to: if the current drilling operation condition is running in the drill string, determine the theoretical volume of drilling fluid to return according to the wellbore structure and drill string structure; based on the cumulative difference between the actual and theoretical volumes of drilling fluid returned, determine whether there is a well leakage or overflow; if there is a well leakage or overflow, control the sound and light alarm 7 to give an abnormal alarm.

[0057] Specifically, if the control computer 3 determines that the current drilling operation condition is running in the drill string, first automatically calculate the theoretical volume of drilling fluid to return according to the pre-input wellbore structure and drill string structure. Similarly, since the drill string is taken out in multiple times (not all at once), each time corresponds to an actual volume of drilling fluid returned and a theoretical volume of drilling fluid returned. Therefore, there are multiple sets of actual and theoretical volumes of drilling fluid returned. Then calculate the cumulative return difference based on the difference between the actual and theoretical volumes of drilling fluid returned for each set, and determine whether the cumulative return difference is within the fourth interval to determine whether there is a well leakage or overflow. Among them, the fourth interval can refer to the normal interval range of the pre-set cumulative return difference, and the two end values of the fourth interval are usually set as opposite numbers, such as ±1 cubic meter. Exemplarily, taking the fourth interval as [-1, 1] as an example, if the cumulative return difference is greater than 1 cubic meter, it indicates an overflow; if the cumulative return difference is less than -1 cubic meter, it indicates a well leakage. If it is detected that there is a well leakage or overflow, control the sound and light alarm 7 to give an abnormal alarm.

The upper and lower limits of the alarm for the change in the volume of drilling fluid can also be set to send out abnormal alarm signals. The LED display screen selects a 40-inch high-brightness color screen that can work normally under the environmental temperature of -20°C to 60°C and strong light irradiation conditions, meeting the explosion-proof requirements of level IIB in the well site. The LED display screen is installed at a position on the tank surface that is convenient for observation. The audible and visual alarm can select a red-yellow dual-color audible and visual alarm, which can emit sound or light alarms according to the abnormal alarm signal sent by the explosion-proof industrial control all-in-one computer to prompt overflow or well leakage. Among them, the red light represents overflow, and the yellow light represents well leakage. The uninterruptible power supply is installed in the drilling duty room or the comprehensive logging instrument to provide working power for the signal acquisition box, the explosion-proof industrial control all-in-one computer, the LED display screen and the audible and visual alarm.
