Field Test of Wellbore Anti-Collision Monitoring System

Article Preview

Abstract:

Avoiding well collision has become an increasingly critical challenge for the drilling industry in recent years. The wellbore Anti-collision Monitoring system is developed because the vibrations caused by an approaching drill bit can be monitored from the existing well casing and used to pre-alarm the wellbore collision. By analyzing the time-domain signal collected by the system in different drilling conditions, the influences of the drilling parameters (RPM and WOB) on drill bit signal are identified; and by analyzing the frequency-domain signal, the characteristic frequency range (200-400Hz) of the drill bit signal is determined. When the drill bit is approaching to the adjacent well, the reconstruction bit signal after band-pass filter changes significantly and agrees well with the on-site situation. The field test results show that the monitoring system is effective and provides a new way to the anti-collision techniques.
