Supervisory control for underbalanced drilling operations
Good flow and pressure control is essential for successful Underbalanced Drilling (UBD) operations. This work evaluates the use of Model Predictive Control (MPC) for integrated control of well conditions and the topside separation system during UBD. The downhole well pressure, separator liquid levels, and the separator pressure are controlled by manipulation of the rig pump, the choke, and the ...
متن کاملFeasibility of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide as a Drilling Fluid for Deep Underbalanced Drilling Operations
Feasibility of drilling with supercritical carbon dioxide to serve the needs of deep underbalanced drilling operations has been analyzed. A case study involving underbalanced drilling to access a depleted gas reservoir is used to illustrate the need for such a research. For this well, nitrogen was initially considered as the drilling fluid. Dry nitrogen, due to its low density, was unable to ge...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Methodology for Processing of Drilling Operations
Drilling is the most common machining operation and it forms the highest machining cost in many manufacturing activities including automotive engine production. The outcome of this operation depends upon many factors including utilization of proper cutting tool geometry, cutting tool material and the type of coating used to improve hardness and resistance to wear, and also cutting parameters. W...
متن کاملInvestigation of Thermal Operational Regimes for Diamond Bit Drilling Operations (TECHNICAL NOTE)
This paper reviews existing studies and investigates thermal operational regimes of diamond bit during drilling operations. The operating temperature of the diamond core drill is studied under bench condition and an optimal thermal range are presented. Based on this study, it was noted that glazing of diamond tools is observed at temperatures less than 327°C, and normal wear of diamond tools is...
متن کاملAn adaptive observer for hyperbolic systems with application to UnderBalanced Drilling
We present an adaptive observer design for a first-order hyperbolic system of Partial Differential Equations with uncertain boundary parameters. The design relies on boundary measurements only, and is based on a backstepping approach. Using a Gradient Descent technique, we prove exponential convergence of the distributed system and estimation of the parameter. This method is applied to the esti...
