Design and Simulation Analysis of Semi-Active Lifting and Sinking Compensation System

Abstract

The lifting and sinking motion generated by the drilling platform causes large fluctuations in the suspension tension of the large hook, which affects the stability of the drilling pressure acting on the rock at the bottom of the well, greatly reduces the efficiency of drilling and decreases the service life of the drill bit and the drill column under the action of cyclically varying loads, causing an increase in the overall drilling cost. In order to avoid the above situation, a nonlinear model of a semi-active lift-sink compensation system is designed and a method to improve the compensation efficiency of the system is proposed. Firstly, the relevant physical model of the hydraulic system is established, and then its simulation model is built according to the working principle of the semi-active lift and sink compensation system. Then the effects of different factors are added to the simulation model of semi-active lifting and sinking compensation, and finally the effects of different factors on the compensation efficiency of the active lifting and sinking system are compared. The simulation results show that a regular sinusoidal wave with a peak value of 6.5 m and a period of 10 s as the ship's lifting and sinking displacement input will reduce the compensation efficiency of the semi-active lifting and sinking compensation system, while the smaller the stiffness of the wire rope, the better the compensation effect of the drill column and the higher the compensation accuracy. The proposed method can effectively improve the compensation efficiency of semi-active lifting and sinking compensation system.
