Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for automatically monitoring the vibrational state of a drill string.
- the vibrational information emanating from these sensors conceals an obvious complexity for a non-specialist wishing to use it. Indeed, traditional spectrum analyzers generally only produce curves whose analysis is not immediate. However, the master driller must instantly know the vibratory behavior of its lining, and in particular a possible instability of said behavior in order to be able to adjust the various drilling parameters as quickly as possible, namely the weight on the tool, the speed of rotation as well as the mud flow. These instabilities occur due to the fact that the lining constitutes a mechanical assembly having its own modes which is capable of responding to the various mechanical stresses occurring during drilling, such as the work of the tool on the rock and the interactions between the well and said lining, this being true both axially as well as laterally or in torsion.
- the present invention therefore relates to a method for automatically monitoring the vibrational state of a drill string which makes it possible to use the measurements provided by a set of sensors located at the top of a drill string, in particular by warning a user in a simple way of possible instabilities at the level of these measurements.
- the invention proposes a method for automatically monitoring the vibrational state of a drill string provided with sensors, said method comprising the following steps:
- FIG. 2 is a flowchart describing certain stages of signaling to the user.
- the monitoring system comprises a battery of programmable filters 8 as well as RMS converters 10 or anti-aliasing filters 12 making it possible to process the signals coming from sensors 14 arranged on the drill string 16; the data coming from the converters 10 are grouped together at the level of a multiplexer 18 then transmitted to an analog-digital converter 20 and finally to one or several processors 22.
- the microprocessor (s) 22 are optionally assisted by one or more signal processors 24 and are coupled to an interface 26; the user can transmit information to the processor (s) 22 by means of a keyboard 28 and a communication link 30.
- the master driller determines in the first case a state which he considers adequate for effective drilling, possibly assisted in this by a vibration specialist in the field of drilling. This state corresponds to different vibration measurements provided by the sensors, these measurements being processed in the manner described below so as to obtain reference spectra relating to each of the sensors.
- the processing of the vibration measurements can be carried out either roughly, that is to say that they are sampled at a low frequency, for example 0.1 Hz, and only their effective value is retained, or more fine, namely that they are sampled at a frequency greater than 400 Hz after careful anti-aliasing filtering.
- simulation software to which mechanical information is supplied on the drill string produces the spectra relating to each of the sensors, the simulation software possibly being integrated into the system itself.
- the information thus produced is introduced at the level of the processor or processors by means of a communication interface, said processor then only working by comparison with these reference elements.
- the vibration measurements provided by the sensors are processed in the same manner as for obtaining the reference spectrum, said manner being described above; in the example illustrated, the quantities measured by the sensors are respectively the dynamic component of the hook force (FCD), the longitudinal acceleration (AL), the dynamic component of the torque (CD), the torsional acceleration (AT ) and bending acceleration (AF).
- FCD dynamic component of the hook force
- AL longitudinal acceleration
- CD dynamic component of the torque
- AT torsional acceleration
- AF bending acceleration
- This comparison can be made either at the level of the effective values only, or at the level of the entire spectrum.
- the processor compares said value with that of reference previously determined, this comparison being carried out in the form of the ratio of the two values, which makes it possible to dispense with a calibration of the always delicate sensors.
- the master driller If the level of at least one of them exceeds 100 times its reference level, the master driller is alerted to the existence of a very unstable situation and must remedy it as soon as possible.
- the processing at the spectra level is of the same type. Indeed, the spectra developed on each measurement by the processor are compared lines to lines with those of reference. As for the effective values, the criteria corresponding to ratios respectively 10 and 100 times larger than the reference are retained in the illustrated example. However, in either case, the values 10 and 100 are arbitrary and are subject to change.
- the present invention makes it possible, in a simple manner, to signal to the master-driller the level of instability of the various quantities measured by the sensors.
- a set of warning lights is used, similar to conventional lights intended to regulate road traffic, as well as various auditory signals.
- a green light indicates to the master driller the existence of a stable situation
- an orange light supplemented by a disengageable discontinuous sound signal warns him of a relative instability
- a red light supplemented by a sound signal continues the alert of high instability.
- Figures 3a, 3b and 3c are explanatory curves of the present invention.
- the curves 3a and 3b are spectra obtained for the same sensor, one 3A being a reference spectrum and the other 3B being an instantaneous spectrum corresponding to a real situation, said spectra extending over a frequency range of 0 , 5 to 50 Hz.
- the curve 3C represents the ratio of the instantaneous spectrum to the real spectrum over the preceding frequency domain. From the different values of this report, the device is able to signal to the user if it is necessary to make, if necessary, a modification to the different drilling parameters.
- this monitoring system can be supplemented by numerous algorithms allowing it to significantly expand its possibilities. Thus, it can detect a possible disappearance of the vibrations, corresponding respectively to 1/10 ratios between the real spectrum and the reference spectrum for a relative disappearance and 1/100 for a notable disappearance. The disappearance of vibrations is just as worrying as the increase in amplitudes, because it reflects, among other things, the collapse of the well above the tool.
- the system object of the present invention allows the processing of data transmitted from the bottom by an appropriate tool and transmitted to the surface by any measurement method during drilling.
- the master driller can, if necessary, make the modifications which seem to him necessary in terms of the various drilling parameters, such as the weight on the tool, the speed of rotation and the flow of mud.
