Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of oil drilling, in particular to a driller operation centralized control system for remotely controlling industrial automation equipment. Background Art

[0002] Currently, oil drilling platforms have multiple modular automation devices, which are usually from different manufacturers and rely on the control logic of each independent device. To avoid problems such as unreasonable equipment operation processes, low operating efficiency, and complex operations, many manufacturers have launched their own integrated drilling control system solutions, integrating drilling equipment (such as drawworks, rotary tables, mud pumps, top drives, etc.) and pipe handling equipment (such as pipe rackers, drill floor manipulators, iron roughnecks, elevators, etc.) to achieve unified control. On oil drilling platforms, a driller's room is usually set up in front of the wellhead. The centralized control system can be controlled by the main and auxiliary driller seats with operating handles and touch screens. The main driller can work independently or in collaboration with the auxiliary driller.

[0003] However, oil drilling is a high-risk industry, and traditional drillers are located on the drilling floor. Lifting and lowering failures and operational accidents may pose a threat to the driller's safety. At the same time, the existing centralized control system is only used in the driller's room, and the operating data of each equipment cannot be monitored remotely.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a driller operation centralized control system for remotely controlling industrial automation equipment. Utility Model Content
