eDrilling: A System for Real-Time Drilling Simulation, 3D Visualization, and Control

摘要

eDrilling is a new and innovative system for real simulation, 3D visualization and control from expert centre. The concept uses all available real data (surface and downhole) in combination modelling to monitor and optimize the drilling information is used to visualize the wellbore time. The system is composed of the following of which are unique and ground-breaking: ?An advanced and fast Integrated Drilling Simulator is capable to model the different drilling sub- dynamically, and also the interaction between subprocesses in real time. The Integrated Drilling is used for automatic forward-looking during can be used for what-if evaluations as well. Automatic quality check and corrections of making them suitable for processing by computer ?Real time supervision methodology for the process using time based drilling data as well models / the integrated drilling simulator. ?Methodology for diagnosis of the drilling conditions. This is obtained from comparing predictions with measured data. Advisory technology for more optimal drilling. A Virtual Wellbore, with advanced visualization downhole process. A new generation visualization designed to integrate all participants involved, enhanced collaboration of all drilling and a global environment. Data flow and computer infrastructure. The combination of the various elements will make e- Drilling very attractive to the new people coming into the industry; the “game boy generation”. e-Drilling has been implemented in an Onshore Drilling Center in Norway. This paper will present the e-Drilling system as well as experiences from its use.
