Abstract:
Automatic and early drilling risks detection is a significant issue of drilling cost reduction and drilling efficiency improvement. In this paper, considering the inherent nature of drilling process data, a novel drilling risks monitoring method which can automatically detect drilling risks in real time was developed. The newly proposed method integrated wellbore hydraulics model and streaming-data-driven model parameter inversion algorithm to realize drilling risks detection. Through the in-depth analysis of several drilling risks' common response characteristics, two drilling risk indicators, i.e. the pressure-loss factor and the flow-rate factor, were defined firstly. Then the drilling risks monitoring model was established to model the pressure and the flow rate responses. In the model, the pressure-loss factor and the flow-rate factor were model parameters which need to be inversed using streaming-data. Finally, streaming-data-driven model parameter inversion algorithm was adopted to estimate the pressure-loss factor and the flow-rate factor in order to detect drilling risks in real time. Besides that, the validity and reliability of the method were verified by experiments. Laboratory experiments conducted on a small-scale test facility and drilling field experiments conducted in a real well had proved the good performance of this newly proposed drilling risks monitoring method.
