control of well drilling operations poses a challenging issue to be tackled. the loss of well control could lead to the occurrence of blowout as a severe threat, involving the risk of human lives and environmental and economic consequences. conventional proportional-integral (pi) controller is a common practice in the well control operation. the small existing margin between pore pressure and f...

Due to the shortcomings of the traditional drilling way, as well as the complexity and difficult mathematical model of the drilling process, etc, this paper briefly analyses the principle of auto-drilling system on AC frequency conversion and the relationship among all factors that affects on the auto-drilling and puts forward a technology that combines parameters' self-tuning fuzzy control wit...

Pressure control drilling technology through the precise control of the entire wellbore annular pressure profile, the bottom of the pressure can always maintain the safety density window, so as to achieve the purpose of safe operation. In the drilling process, the use of conventional drilling technology for drilling operations, easily lead to well, overflow and other drilling accidents. In this...

Because neurosurgery and orthopedic surgery often require the drilling of bones, this paper attempts to solve the problem of bone drilling. The goal is to realize a control system, which is able to drill with a contact drilling force and can automatically stop drilling at the moment of breaking through. In particular, both the de drilling mntor control and the feed rate control are driven by fo...

– World wide drilling is developing for oil, gas or water resources. Electric motors power 75% of the total drilling rigs installation, augmenting to 95% for the case of Romania. Monitoring diesel generators micro-power station and motors of the rig is the second important thing to do and complete the main task of drilling process monitoring. This paper describe a monitoring and control system ...

Information transmission is an important part of the wellbore trajectory automatic control system. Combined with the characteristics of the guided drilling system, drilling fluid pulse is selected as a tool for trajectory control. Negative pulse transmission of drilling fluid is one of the key technologies to realize wellbore trajectory automatic control. In this paper, the working principle of...

This paper presents a time-varying sliding mode adaptive controller in order to handle the stick-slip oscillation of nonlinear rotary drilling system. The time-varying sliding mode controller with strong robust has two time-varying sliding surfaces, one of them induced time-varying integral sliding mode control can control the transient stage of the rotary drilling system and ensure the system ...

The study of rotary steering drilling technology is currently one of the hot topics in the drilling engineering field. It requires accurate well trajectory control instructions when rotary steerable tools are applied to achieve the well trajectory control goal. A drilling trajectory prediction model will benefit this progress. According to the continuous beam theory, a mechanical model of push-...

Kick occurrence is a possible event during a drilling process. It is required to be handled immediately using a well control method to avoid blowout, financial losses and damages to the drilling crew. Several methods including driller, wait and weight, and concurrent are applicable in the drilling industry to control a well during a kick incident. In this study, typical well control methods wer...
