Abstract
Drilling engineering is technology-intensive and involves many subjects and large amounts of data. To improve the quality of production and management, decisions need to be made based on the latest data to direct the work on-site. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a safe, reliable, and efficient drilling management system that can meet daily production requirements. In this study, we describe a real-time monitoring system of field data. The system comprises real-time collection of borehole drilling parameters, ground drilling parameters, on-site video and borehole position data, and wireless data transmission to site and rear managers. The system is based on real-time monitoring of field data, the recognition and prediction of the conditions inside the borehole, the wireless transmission of data, and rear-base data analysis and feedback modules. The rear managers can view the real-time and historical drilling data at any time and compare and analyze drilling data by using the rear software of the management system to optimize the drilling program and feedback to the site. The application of the management system in production suggests that it can significantly improve drilling efficiency, reduce drilling costs and accidents in wells, and improve the automation of drilling operations. Moreover, at the same time, it can also predict complex conditions and drilling accidents in time and provide reliable real-time data to drilling technicians for on-site decision making.
