  • Patent number: 11203922
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and equipment for optimizing hydraulic parameters of deepwater managed pressure drilling in real time. The method comprises: acquiring overflow parameters in the current drilling process, performing preprocessing and feature extraction on the overflow parameters, and inputting the overflow parameters into trained support vector machine identification models for overflow judgment. If overflow occurs at the current drilling depth, reducing an opening of a throttle valve and increasing a displacement of a submarine pump, measuring a wellhead back pressure and calculating a bottom hole pressure, and judging whether overflow continues is performed.

  • Patent number: 9631454
    Abstract: The present invention provides wellbore pressure control system and method for well cementation stages, and relates to the offshore oil and gas exploitation field. The wellbore pressure control system comprises: an injection pump; and a control device, configured to control the injection pump to inject a fluid or gas through an injection pipeline to a return pipeline that communicates with an annular space of the wellbore to decrease the pressure in the return pipeline and thereby decrease the pressure in the annular space, wherein, the density of the fluid or gas is lower than the density of a drilling fluid in the annular space. The technical scheme of the present invention can effectively prevent leaky zones from being fractured by high-density cement slurry in the well cementation process that may cause safety accidents such as well kick and well blowout, etc.
