Oil drilling well control is an essential link in the process of oil and natural gas exploration and development and is the premise and guarantee for the safe production of oil and natural gas. Every effort must be made to ensure the smooth progress of construction and the safety of personnel on-site. Therefore, we must control the oil drilling well control link. From online and offline, both theory and practice need to be learned and mastered in all aspects. This article will introduce two kinds of drilling and well control simulation training systems developed and manufactured by Esimtech.

Full-scale drilling simulation training system

All hardware systems of the full-scale drilling simulation training system highly simulate real equipment on site. Various panel layouts, operation methods, parameter display methods, etc., in the simulation system, are consistent with the production site. The system can produce visual effects similar to the scene by projecting the three-dimensional graphics synchronized with the operating conditions onto the front screen. Combined with realistic sound effects of live equipment, it gives people an immersive sense of immersion and realism.

The system is based on advanced computer industrial control technology, artificial intelligence technology, scientific visualization technology, virtual reality technology, and advanced network technology, combined with strict simulation of the actual process of drilling engineering, using high-reliability classical physical and mathematical models based on real on-site well conditions and well history information provides users with various training operations such as tripping, drilling, well control, equipment fault detection, and handling of drilling accidents and complex situations.

The system highly simulates well conditions and equipment operations, improves the flexibility of trainers’ operations, and greatly improves the training efficiency and effectiveness of trainers.

The operation items involved in the training system include five modules: tripping module, drilling module, downhole accident handling module, well shut-in operation, and well-cementing operation.

Portable Drilling Well Control Simulation Training System

Features of Portable Drilling Well Control Simulation Training System:

The drilling well control simulation training system is easy to carry and has perfect functions.

The system is compliant with IADC and IWCF standards.

Various drilling parameters can be flexibly set, such as drilling tool structure, formation parameters, equipment parameters, etc., making training more flexible and targeted.

The software system adopts an unordered architecture, which can realistically simulate various operations of the drilling rig, making the system closer to reality.

Using virtual reality technology to construct a realistic perception environment, using three-dimensional animation synchronized with the operating conditions, combined with simulated on-site sound effects, gives people an immersive feeling.

The operation items involved in the training system include shut-in operations and well-killing operations.
