Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data processing technology in the petroleum industry, and in particular to a full-business domain data collection system for oil and gas exploration sites. Background Technology
[0002] The real-time data requirements for wellbore engineering encompass various specialties, including drilling engineering, drilling fluid, logging and gas testing, directional drilling, cementing, fracturing, oil and gas testing, and live tubing setup. The business chain essentially covers the entire drilling, completion, and downhole operations process. Currently, each data acquisition unit on-site collects and transmits data independently, leading to significant challenges in data aggregation and analysis. This is due to the numerous system cross-systems involved, poor timeliness, and the varying acquisition interfaces and protocols, lacking a unified aggregation device. Furthermore, downhole operations such as fracturing, oil and gas testing, and live tubing setup typically only commence after drilling and completion. Acquiring real-time data for the management platform presents considerable challenges due to the different business chains, acquisition units, and interface protocols throughout the lifecycle of a single well.
[0003] Currently, at drilling sites, the use of MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) IoT systems has enabled real-time data collection, aggregation, and sharing. However, directional drilling equipment relies on different manufacturers, making comprehensive data collection and analysis currently impossible. Logging and gas logging data are transmitted via the logging company's transmission links, preventing on-site data fusion and sharing. Cementing, fracturing, and oil / gas testing also face the challenge of data collection and aggregation not being possible on-site.
[0004] In summary, there is an urgent need for a solution that can automatically collect and process data from all aspects of a single well at the exploration site. Utility Model Content

[0052] This terminal system effectively solves the above-mentioned problems. Implementation personnel can deploy this system in various operational scenarios. The terminal is compatible with different types of physical interfaces and underlying protocols for various services, and supports both wireless and wired data acquisition. Its built-in network module supports automatic switching between two carrier networks, resolving the issue of manual maintenance required after carrier changes during well site relocation. It also supports data sharing within the oilfield's intranet environment.
[0053] The terminal system is equipped with two operating systems: a Linux program for real-time data acquisition, processing, and distribution, and a Windows program for deploying on-site demonstration software, facilitating data querying, and subsequent development and deployment of application software.
[0054] This innovative remote control method not only brings great convenience to oil drilling operations, but also effectively avoids personal injury and equipment damage accidents that may be caused by improper operation, significantly improving the safety and efficiency of drilling operations.
[0055] This utility model discloses a full-business-domain data aggregation system for oil and gas exploration sites. The system uses various petroleum engineering business scenarios as application scenarios to address the problems of ineffective data aggregation and storage, data gaps, and inability to effectively compare and analyze single-well data in upstream business scenarios of single-well exploration. It achieves comprehensive data collection covering all business scenarios. This utility model uses a single well as a standard to connect data from various stages, while simultaneously meeting the interface access requirements of various petroleum engineering operation sites. It supports wired and wireless deployment modes and encompasses communication protocols for various petroleum engineering terminal equipment. This utility model improves the level of dynamic data digitization and remote control of on-site production, providing front-end data support for the intelligentization of petroleum engineering.
