    Quad-Rotor Directional Steering System Controller Design Using Gravitational Search Optimization

    M. A. Kamela, M. A. Abidob, Moustafa Elshafeic

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.24, No.4, pp. 795-805, 2018, DOI:10.1080/10798587.2017.1342414

    Abstract Directional Steering System (DSS) has been established for well drilling in the oilfield in order to accomplish high reservoir productivity and to improve accessibility of oil reservoirs in complex locations. In this paper, a novel feedback linearization controller to cancel the nonlinear dynamics of a DSS is proposed. The proposed controller design problem is formulated as an optimization problem for optimal settings of the controller feedback gains. Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) is developed to search for optimal settings of the proposed controller. The objective function considered is to minimize the tracking error and drilling efforts.

    Study on a Ranging System Based on Dual Solenoid Assemblies, for Determining the Relative Position of Two Adjacent Wells

    Binbin Diao1, Deli Gao1,2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.90, No.1, pp. 77-90, 2013, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2013.090.077

    Abstract The measurement of the relative position of two adjacent wells is one of the key technologies in the directional drilling of twin parallel horizontal wells, and the downhole intersection of two adjacent wells. A new electromagnetic ranging system and a guidance method are introduced for determining the relative position of two adjacent wells. The system mainly consists of two solenoid assemblies, improved surveying instrument for measurement while drilling (MWD), and a computational procedure for guidance. Also, the distribution of the magnetic field of each energized solenoid assembly is discussed, by regarding the solenoid assembly as… More >

    An Analysis of the Bottomhole Assembly (BHA) in Directional Drilling, by Considering the Effects of the Axial Displacement

    Zonglu Guo1, Deli Gao1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.90, No.1, pp. 65-76, 2013, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2013.090.065

    Abstract The modeling of the bottomhole assembly (BHA) is an essential problem in directional drilling. Some basic equations for predicting the performance of the BHA are presented in this paper. These equations take into account the effects of the axial displacement. The method of weighted residuals and the Newton-Raphson iterations are used to compute the nonlinear effects of the deformation of the BHA. A computer program is developed for the analysis of the BHA in order to quantitatively predict the performance of the BHA in directional drilling. In addition, a case study is presented to evaluate More >
