Detailed Description
The illustrations presented herein are not actual views of any drilling system, earth-boring tool monitoring system, or any component thereof, but are merely idealized representations which are employed to describe embodiments of the present invention.
As used herein, the terms "drill bit" and "earth-boring tool" mean and include, respectively, earth-boring tools for forming, enlarging, or forming and enlarging a borehole. Non-limiting examples of drill bits include fixed-cutter ("drag") bits, fixed-cutter coring bits, fixed-cutter eccentric bits, fixed-cutter bi-center bits, fixed-cutter reamers, expandable reamers having blades carrying fixed cutters, and hybrid bits that include both fixed cutters and rotatable cutting structures (cones).
As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
As used herein, the term "may" with respect to materials, structures, features, or method acts indicates that this is contemplated for implementing embodiments of the present disclosure, and the use of this term in preference to the more limiting term "is" in order to avoid any implication that other compatible materials, structures, features, and methods may be used in combination therewith should or must be excluded.
As used herein, any relational terms, such as "first," "second," and the like, are used for clarity and ease of understanding the present disclosure and the drawings, and do not imply or depend on any particular preference or order unless otherwise clear from the context. For example, these terms may refer to the orientation of elements of an earth-boring tool when disposed within a borehole in a conventional manner. Further, these terms may refer to the orientation of the elements of the earth-boring tool when positioned as shown.
As used herein, the term "substantially" with reference to a given parameter, characteristic, or condition means and includes to some extent: those skilled in the art will appreciate that a given parameter, characteristic, or condition is satisfied to a small degree of variance, such as within acceptable manufacturing tolerances. As an example, depending on the particular parameter, characteristic, or condition being substantially met, the parameter, characteristic, or condition may be at least 90.0% met, at least 95.0% met, at least 99.0% met, or even at least 99.9% met.
As used herein, the term "about" as used in relation to a given parameter encompasses the stated value and has a meaning dictated by the context (e.g., it includes the degree of error associated with measurement of the given parameter, as well as variations due to manufacturing tolerances, etc.).
Some embodiments of the present disclosure may include an earth-boring tool monitoring system 129. The earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 generates and displays a contour map 202 that represents a range of potential operating loads (e.g., torque, weight on bit, 1000 revolutions per minute ("Krev"), differential pressure, etc.) of the earth-boring tool and the associated reliability of the earth-boring tool at those operating loads. In some embodiments, the reliability is indicated by different colors. Further, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 generates and superimposes a marker 302 on the contour map 202, where the marker 302 represents the real-time operating load of the earth-boring tool at a point in time. Depending on the position at which the markers 302 are superimposed on the contour map 202 (e.g., within a high reliability region of the contour map 202 or within a low reliability region of the contour map 202), the markers 302 may be distinguished from each other via, for example, color. Further, the set of markers 302 may represent a time period of operation of the earth-boring tool and a mapping of actual operational loads applied to the earth-boring tool within the contour map. As will be discussed in more detail below, earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may enable an operator to quickly and efficiently visualize risks in order to manage and balance both risk and performance in real-time.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an example of a drilling system 100 that may utilize the apparatus and methods disclosed herein to drill a borehole. Fig. 1 shows a borehole 102 that may include an upper section 104 with a casing 106 installed therein and a lower section 108 drilled with a drill string 110. Drill string 110 may include a tubular member 112 carrying a drilling assembly 114 at a bottom end thereof. The tubular member 112 may be constructed by joining sections of drill pipe, or it may be a string of coiled tubing. A drill bit 116 may be attached to the bottom end of the drilling assembly 114 for drilling a borehole 102 of a selected diameter in the formation 118.
The drill string 110 may extend to a drilling rig 120 at the surface 122. For ease of explanation, the illustrated drilling rig 120 is a land drilling rig 120. However, the disclosed apparatus and method may also be used with an offshore drilling rig 120 for drilling boreholes underwater. A rotary table 124 or top drive may be coupled to the drill string 110 and may be used to rotate the drill string 110 and rotate the drilling assembly 114, and thus the drill bit 116, to drill the borehole 102. A drilling motor 126 may be disposed in the drilling assembly 114 to rotate the drill bit 116. The drilling motor 126 may be used alone to rotate the drill bit 116 or to superimpose rotation of the drill bit 116 through the drill string 110. The drill rig 120 may also include conventional equipment, such as a mechanism to add additional sections to the tubular member 112 while drilling the borehole 102. A surface control unit 128 (which may be a computer-based unit) may be placed at the surface 122 for receiving and processing downhole data transmitted by the sensors 140 in the drill bit 116 and the sensors 140 in the drilling assembly 114 and for controlling selected operations of the various devices and sensors 140 in the drilling assembly 114. The sensors 140 may include one or more of the sensors 140 that determine acceleration, weight-on-bit, torque, pressure, cutting element position, rate-of-penetration, inclination, azimuth, formation lithology, and the like.
In some embodiments, the surface control unit 128 may include an earth-boring tool monitoring system 129. The earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may include a processor 130 and a data storage device 132 (or computer-readable medium) for storing data, algorithms, and computer programs 134. Data storage device 132 may be any suitable device including, but not limited to, Read Only Memory (ROM), Random Access Memory (RAM), flash memory, magnetic tape, hard disk, and optical disk. Additionally, the surface control unit 128 may also include one or more devices for presenting output to an operator of the drilling assembly 114, including, but not limited to, a graphics engine, a display (e.g., a display screen), one or more output drivers (e.g., a display driver), one or more audio speakers, and one or more audio drivers. In certain embodiments, the surface control unit 128 is configured to provide graphical data to a display for presentation to an operator. The graphical data may represent one or more graphical user interfaces and/or any other graphical content that may serve a particular implementation. As described in more detail with respect to fig. 2-4B, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may generate and display a contour map 202 representing the reliability of the earth-boring tool based on the potential operating loads. Furthermore, although the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 is described herein as part of the surface control unit 128, the disclosure is not so limited; rather, as one of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may be separate from the surface control unit 128 and may be disposed anywhere within the drilling assembly 114, or may be remote from the drilling assembly 114. The surface control unit 128 and the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 are described in more detail below with reference to FIG. 5.
During drilling, drilling fluid from its source 136 is pumped under pressure through the tubular member 112, which is discharged at the bottom of the drill bit 116 and returned to the surface 122 via an annular space (also referred to as an "annulus") between the drill string 110 and an inner sidewall 138 of the borehole 102.
Drilling assembly 114 may also include one or more downhole sensors 140 (collectively represented by numeral 140). The sensors 140 may include any number and type of sensors 140, including, but not limited to, sensors commonly referred to as measurement-while-drilling (MWD) sensors or logging-while-drilling (LWD) sensors, and sensors 140 that provide information related to the behavior of the drilling assembly 114, such as bit rotation (revolutions per minute or "RPM"), toolface, pressure, vibration, whirl, bend, and stick-slip. Drilling assembly 114 may also include a controller unit 142 that controls operation of one or more devices and sensors 140 in drilling assembly 114. For example, the controller unit 142 may be disposed within the drill bit 116 (e.g., within a shank and/or crown of a bit body of the drill bit 116). In some embodiments, the controller unit 142 may include, among other things, circuitry for processing signals from the sensors 140, a processor 144 (such as a microprocessor) for processing digitized signals, a data storage device 146 (such as solid state memory), and a computer program 148. The processor 144 may process the digitized signals and control the downhole equipment and sensors 140 and communicate data information with the surface control unit 128 via the two-way telemetry unit 150.
FIG. 2 illustrates a graphical user interface 200 that may be generated and displayed by the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 (FIG. 1). The graphical user interface 200 depicts bit health of a drilling assembly (e.g., the drilling assembly 114) (hereinafter referred to as an "earth-boring tool"). As used herein, the term "bit health" may refer to a representation of the reliability of an earth-boring tool over a range of operating loads in terms of previous loads and wear. Referring to fig. 1 and 2, as described above, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may include at least one processor and at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The storage medium may store thereon instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 to perform actions, such as any of the actions described herein.
In some embodiments, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 generates a contour map 202 that illustrates the reliability of the earth-boring tool over a range of operating loads. For example, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 displays the contour map 202 on a display for viewing by an operator. As used herein, the term "reliability" (reliability and reliabilites) may refer to the extent to which an earth-boring tool may be relied upon to perform a desired function given a particular operational load imposed on the earth-boring tool. For example, these terms may refer to a percentage of confidence that the earth-boring tool will perform as expected at a given operational load. Further, the "reliability" of an earth-boring tool may be based, at least in part, on a single or multiple failure modes that the earth-boring tool may experience.
In some embodiments, the axes (e.g., the X-axis and the Y-axis) of the contour plot 202 may represent an operating load against which the contour plot 202 plots the reliability of the earth-boring tool. The operational load, and thus the axis of the contour map 202, may include weight on bit ("WOB"), torque, differential pressure, Krev, or any other parameter measured and/or utilized in a drilling operation.
In some implementations, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may depict the reliability of the earth-boring tool as a color spectrum transitioning between a plurality of different colors. For example, the color spectrum may transition from a first color (e.g., dark blue) to a second color (e.g., dark red). In some embodiments, the first color of the contour map 202 may represent 100% reliability (e.g., a statistical confidence of about 100%, i.e., the earth-boring tool will continue to operate as expected within the operational loads included in the first color). In some embodiments, the second color of the contour plot 202 may represent about 0% reliability of the earth-boring tool within the operational load represented in dark red. In other words, the second color may represent an operational load that would cause the earth-boring tool to fail. Further, a color between the first color and the second color may represent a reliability range of 100% to 0%. Although specific colors mentioned herein represent different reliabilities, one of ordinary skill in the art will readily recognize that any color may be utilized to represent any reliability, and the present disclosure is not limited to colors. Conversely, in some embodiments, a grayscale gradient may be utilized within the contour map 202 to represent a reliability range. In further embodiments, the contour map 202 may include defined regions (e.g., regions defined by lines) that represent reliability or reliability ranges, respectively. In further embodiments, the contour plot 202 may include a mix of any of the foregoing ways of representing reliability.
Still referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments, the first color of the contour map 202 may define an operating window 204. For example, the operating window 204 may represent an operating load range at which the earth-boring tool may operate with approximately 100% reliability. One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that during operation, an operator or earth-boring tool will wish to maintain the operational loads of the earth-boring tool within the operational window 204 to avoid failure.
In some embodiments, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may generate the contour map 202 from the simulation data. For example, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may utilize simulation software (e.g.,
Figure BDA0002719455490000071
etc.) to determine statistical confidence values and operating parameters of the reliability of the particular earth-boring tool, and generate a contour map 202 based on these reliabilities. In other embodiments, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may generate the contour map 202 from historical data. For example, for a given earth-boring tool, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may determine statistical confidence values and operating parameters for the reliability of the given particular earth-boring tool using data obtained from drilling operations previously performed using similar and/or the same type of earth-boring tool, and generate the contour map 202 based on these reliabilities. In some embodiments, the historical data may be obtained from previous drilling operations via one or more sensors (e.g., sensor 140 (fig. 1)) throughout drilling assembly 114 (fig. 1). For example, in some embodiments, historical data may be obtained via any of the sensors and/or approaches described in U.S. patent 8,100,196 to passtusek et al, filed on 6/2/2009, U.S. patent 7,859,934 to passtusek et al, filed on 16/2/2007, and U.S. patent 7,604,072 to passtusek et al, filed on 7/6/2005, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties. In further embodiments, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may generate the contour map 202 from a mixture of simulated data and historical data.
In some embodiments, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may generate a contour map 202 specific to a particular type of earth-boring tool (e.g., reamer, expandable reamer, tri-cone drill bit, hybrid drill bit, etc.). In further embodiments, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may generate a contour map 202 that is specific to a particular (i.e., individual) earth-boring tool. In further embodiments, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may generate a contour map showing the overall system health (i.e., combined drill bit, motor, and string health).
FIG. 3 illustrates a contour map 202 that may be generated and displayed by the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may overlay a plurality of markers 302 on the contour map 202. Each marker 302 in the plurality of markers 302 may represent an actual (e.g., real-time) operational load (i.e., a load point) of the earth-boring tool at a certain point in time.
Further, because each of the markers 302 of the plurality of markers 302 represents a point in time, the set of the plurality of markers 302 may represent a time period during which the earth-boring tool is subjected to a plurality of different operational loads represented by the plurality of markers 302, and wherein each of the markers 302 represents a point in time within the time period. In some embodiments, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may generate and display lines between successive marks 302 in the plurality of marks 302 (e.g., between marks 302 representing successive points in time). Accordingly, the plurality of markings 302 may form (e.g., define) a map of actual operating loads applied to the earth-boring tool within the contour map. Thus, trends and trends in earth-boring tools and operational loads may be readily visualized. Accordingly, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may assist an operator in determining a correlation between actual operational loads of the earth-boring tool and other parameters of the drilling operation. In further embodiments, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may display the moving average of the plurality of markers and the trend line of the plurality of markers on a contour map.
In one or more embodiments, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may maintain only a certain number of markers 302 on the contour map 202 to maintain visibility and clarity of the contour map. For example, as described above, the set of multiple markers 302 may represent a particular time period, and thus, markers 302 outside of the time period (e.g., the oldest marker 302) may disappear after the time period has elapsed since the marker 302 was displayed on the contour map 202. For example, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may cause the markings 302 to disappear outside of the time period. By way of non-limiting example, when the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 causes the newest indicia 302 to be displayed, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may cause the oldest indicia 302 to disappear. In some embodiments, the time period may be hours, days, weeks, or any other time period. Further, the time interval between each marker 302 (e.g., the time period between the time points indicated by the markers 302) may be seconds, minutes, hours, days, or weeks.
In some embodiments, the markers 302 within the plurality of markers 302 can be distinguished from each other based on whether the markers 302 (as described above with respect to fig. 2) fall within the operating window 204 of the contour map 202 (e.g., 100% reliability) or fall within any other portion of the contour map 202. For example, in one or more embodiments, if the marker 302 falls within the operating window 204, the marker 302 may be displayed in a first color, and if the marker 302 falls outside of the operating window, the marker may be displayed in a second, different color (e.g., indicating that there is a risk to the earth-boring tool). In further embodiments, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may utilize three or more colors to distinguish the marks 302 of the plurality of marks 302. For example, a first color may indicate no risk, a second color may indicate minimal risk (e.g., 70% reliability to 99% reliability), and a third color may indicate severe risk (e.g., 0% reliability to 69% reliability). In further embodiments, the marker 302 may have a first shape if the marker 302 falls within the operating window 204, and a second, different shape if the marker 302 falls outside of the operating window 204 (e.g., indicating that there is a risk to the earth-boring tool). Although specific ways of distinguishing the markings 302 are described herein, one of ordinary skill in the art will readily recognize that the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may distinguish the markings 302 based on the reliability represented by the markings 302 in any manner.
Still referring to FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may obtain data for the plurality of markers 302 from the surface control unit 128 of the drilling system 100 (e.g., the actual real-time operating loads of the earth-boring tool represented by the plurality of markers 302). In further embodiments, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may acquire data for the plurality of markers 302 from one or more portions of the drilling system 100 (e.g., a top drive, a motor, a drill string, a drill bit, an in-bit sensor, etc.). For example, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may acquire data for a plurality of markers 302 from downhole sensors and/or controllers. For example, earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may acquire data for plurality of markers 302 from any of the sensors described in U.S. patent 8,100,196 to passtusek et al, filed on 6/2009, 24/2012, U.S. patent 7,849,934 to passtusek et al, filed on 16/2/2007, and U.S. patent 7,604,072 to passtusek et al, filed on 7/2005, 10/2009, 20/2009.
Fig. 4A shows a contour map 202 generated by the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129, and the contour map represents the bit health of the earth-boring tool prior to shifting of the contour map 202, and fig. 4B shows the contour after shifting of the contour map 202. Referring to fig. 4A and 4B, in some embodiments, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may shift or regenerate the contour map 202 over an operating load range based on accumulated damage to the earth-boring tool. In other words, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may update the contour map 202 based on accumulated damage to the earth-boring tool. For example, during a drilling operation, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may shift the contour map 202 based on the age of the earth-boring tool, previously experienced operational loads of the earth-boring tool, detected damage to the earth-boring tool, and the like.
In some embodiments, shifting the contour map 202 may cause the operating window 204 (e.g., the region of the contour map 202 representing 100% reliability) to shrink and the region of the contour map 202 representing less than 100% reliability to increase. For example, in an example of an operating load that includes torque and WOB, during the shift, the maximum torque within the operating window 204 may be decreased, and the maximum WOB within the operating window 204 may be decreased. Accordingly, the operating window 204 may be reduced, and the operating load range in which the earth-boring tool may operate with 100% reliability may be reduced.
In one or more embodiments, the cumulative damage of the earth-boring tool may be calculated based on laboratory test data, simulation data, historical data (e.g., actual field failures, deviations, drill bit logs, repair data, and evaluations of surface defects), and/or data from one or more sensors of the earth-boring tool. Regardless, in some embodiments, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may continuously shift the operating window 204 (i.e., shift in a continuous motion). For example, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may continuously shift the operating window 204 as the earth-boring tool ages, as the earth-boring tool experiences operating loads, and as damage to the earth-boring tool is detected and/or calculated throughout the drilling operation. In alternative embodiments, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may shift the operating window 204 at time intervals. For example, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may shift the operating window 204 every 30 seconds, every 60 seconds, every 5 minutes, every 30 minutes, every 1 hour, every 6 hours, every day, and so forth. As a non-limiting example, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may shift the operating window at any time interval.
Referring to fig. 4B, if the newly superimposed marker 302 is outside of the operating window 204 (i.e., indicates risk based on operating load) due to a shift in the contour map 202, the newly superimposed marker 302 (i.e., the marker 302 superimposed after the most recent shift) may be distinguished from the previously superimposed marker 302. For example, as described above, the newly superimposed marker 302 may be displayed in a different color than the marker 302 within the operating window 204. Further, the previously superimposed marker 302 that previously did not indicate risk (e.g., was positioned within the operating window 204), but now indicates risk due to displacement, may remain unchanged.
In view of the above, the earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 of the present disclosure may provide advantages over conventional methods of monitoring earth-boring tools. For example, earth-boring tool monitoring system 129 may enable an operator to quickly and efficiently visualize risks in order to manage and balance both risk and performance in real-time.
