日前，欧洲海洋石油大会开幕式展示了未来可能改变油气行业上游和下游的新兴技术。专业服务公司EY的合伙人Mark Hutchinson表示，他们将来会进驻海上石油业务。他说：“第一次工业革命是蒸汽技术革命，第二次是电力技术革命，第三次是信息技术革命，第四次是数字化革命。”
“技术成本几乎每隔一到两年就会减半。七年前，像无人机这样的东西可能在专卖店卖一万英镑，然而如果你现在购买它，可能只需要20英镑。”
本期技术动态，小编共整理了7项国际前沿技术，分别为水平井大位移井和海上钻井等作业提供了有效解决方案。
新式钻井连接器应对水平井和大位移井的挑战
Vallourec公司最近发布了VAM X-Force产品，这一高性能钻井连接器，可以在最苛刻的环境下进行钻井作业。在旋转肩台连接产品中，VAM X-Force的扭矩性能最高，抗疲劳寿命最久，总体成本最低。通过传统的双肩设计和螺纹轮廓的结合，VAM X-Force拥有优异的机械性能，操作性能和经济效益。曲线螺纹设计增加了产生扭矩的表面面积，同时减少了截面上的应力，所以VAM X-Force产品具有抗疲劳寿命长，扣入深且无需对扣引鞋的优点。该产品具有较高的扭矩和水力性能，可以满足最具挑战性的水平井和大位移井的钻井需要。
存储式工具突破机械障碍
Quartzdyne公司最近推出了Quartz和Piezo两款存储式测量工具。这些工具能够突破机械障碍，坚固耐用并测量精确。除了监测高温高压环境之外，该存储工具还能够检测井下的干扰。该工具适用于油田的多个应用，例如钻杆测试、钢丝作业、干扰测试、持久性测试以及整体的产量优化。该工具的特点是焊接环形封闭、金属对金属密封、便捷的侧面端口接入点、带膜片保护的石英传感器、550万数据集和100％混合MCM电子设备。这些特点使该工具易于使用，并且一个供应商即可提供其全套服务和支持。
新生产优化平台发布
Weatherford International公司在其软件大会上发布了ForeSite生产优化平台。新平台结合物理模型和先进的数据分析，能够全面提高井口，油藏和水上设施的性能。此次发布的产品是该公司集成软件产品系列的第一款，该系列将生产优化技术与物联网，云计算和高级分析相结合，以实现完整的资产管理。该平台目前着眼于改进有杆泵举升系统的油井管理，随后将扩展到所有举升方式，以及油藏和水上设施的管理和优化。
海上钻机的不间断电源系统增强版发布
定制不间断电源（UPS）系统的制造商Ametek Solidstate Controls公司发布了新的SlimLine产品线增强版，旨在满足海上钻井平台对UPS体积的苛刻要求。增强版的机柜体积变小，能够与其他大量的产品线兼容。该增强版UPS能够运行效率更高，在空间宝贵的钻井平台上，该设备所占面积缩至最小。SlimLine产品能够与现有的体积更大的Ametek设备一样，提供连续、清洁、稳定的电力。
新式软管接头减少软管所受应力
KLAW公司最近发布的Marine2产品比传统的海上拉断式接头长度短32%、重量轻25%，这样的设计是为了减少海上作业时软管上所受的应力。尺寸缩短能够降低卷盘上的软管破裂的几率，不像传统长尺寸的设计会增加软管应力和疲劳。新的接头设计在船对船，船对岸和船舶到海上平台之间的转运中提供了软管输送系统内的安全断开点。这种接头会在紧急情况时启动，例如在暴风雨条件下的船舶出现漂移或压力波动的情况。启动时，接头内部的阀门会同时切断软管输送系统内部上下游的液流，并立即断开连接。因此，它能够最大限度减少泄漏的可能性，并减少资产毁损、人员伤害、增加停机时间和环境污染的风险。现在该产品规格有2英寸、3英寸、4英寸、5英寸和6英寸，标准公称孔径，并兼容软壁，硬壁和复合软管。
RAR技术为可解脱式系泊系统再添新功能
Delmar公司最近推出了新的RAR Plus和MOOR-Max可解脱式系泊系统。RAR Plus技术是在35年历史的上代RAR技术上添加新的关键功能，例如手动解脱方式，并提升了声学释放最终的解脱负载等级。此外，它还能将内部传感器接收到的直接和间接线性张力测量信息，在钻台上的图形用户界面中实时显示出来。新的RAR技术是MOOR-Max可解脱式系泊系统的关键组成部分。该系统为MODU提供了一个新的系泊系统，以避开风暴并提高钻机移动效率，它是声学释放技术与40多年移动钻井平台经验的结晶。
Wellsite 监测方案支持数据分析及管理
Dover Energy Automation和MOBOTIX AG公司已合作开发了一个综合的井网监测方案。这一组合集成了MOBOTIX的智能相机套件和Dover Energy Automation的XSPOC人工举升优化软件平台。Dover Energy Automation的XSPOC软件中的xVision模块集成了MOBOTIX智能IP摄像机系列的音频和视频反馈和检测功能。这一方案具有一定的可扩展性，能够实现分析应用和高效的数据管理。另外，它还提供了智能三维运动检测、低带宽、高品质的图像功能，终能帮助生产优化人员达到更高水平的井场风险意识，减少反应时间，合理化对井场事件的响应。

NEW DRILLING CONNECTION HANDLES CHALLENGING HORIZONTAL, EXTENDED REACH WELLS
Vallourec has released VAM X-Force, a high performance drilling connection that is designed to drill in the most challenging environments. According to the company, it provides the highest torque and longest fatigue life, with the lowest total cost of ownership of any rotary shouldered connection. Through the combination of a traditional double-shoulder design and a thread profile, it excels in mechanical, operational and economic performance. The curvy thread design increases the surface available for torque generation, while reducing the amount of stress placed on the cross-section. As a result, the drilling connection features an enhanced fatigue life, as well as deep stabbing—eliminating the need for stabbing guides. The new design affords the high torsional strength and improved hydraulics necessary to drill challenging horizontal and extended reach wells. Image: Vallourec.
MEMORY TOOLS BREAK THROUGH MECHANICAL BARRIERS
Quartzdyne, Inc., has introduced its Quartz memory tool and Piezo memory tool. The tools can break through mechanical barriers by exercising a combination of durability and accuracy. In addition to monitoring HPHT surveys, the memory tools also detect interference and build up workflows. They are available for a number of oilfield applications, including drillstem tests, slickline operations, interference tests, long-duration tests, and overall production optimization. The memory tool features a welded circuit enclosure, metal-to-metal seals, a side port connector for easy access, a diaphragm-protected quartz transducer, 5.5 million data sets, and 100% hybrid MCM electronics. This makes the tool easy to use, and allows just one supplier for service and support. Image: Quartzdyne.
NEW PRODUCTION OPTIMIZATION PLATFORM RELEASED
Weatherford International announced the release of the ForeSite production optimization platform at the Weatherford Enterprise Software Conference. The new platform combines physics-based models with advanced data analytics to improve performance across wells, reservoirs and surface facilities. This release is the first in a series of integrated software offerings that will combine the company’s production optimization technologies with the internet-of-things, cloud computing and advanced analytics to enable complete asset management. The platform is initially focused on improving the management of wells with rod-lift systems. It will later extend to all forms of lift, as well as management and optimization at the reservoir and surface-facility levels.
UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM ENHANCEMENT FOR OFFSHORE OIL RIGS RELEASED
Ametek Solidstate Controls, Inc., a manufacturer of customized uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, has released its new SlimLine product line enhancement, designed to meet the highly specialized need for smaller UPS units on offshore oil and gas rigs. The enhanced cabinet design has a smaller footprint, and it can be applied across many other product lines as well. The enhancement allows for more efficient operations within the oil and gas market, while maximizing the limited square footage on drilling platforms, where space is at a premium. SlimLine products provide the same continuous, clean, regulated power as the existing larger Ametek units, according to the company.
COUPLINGS REDUCE STRESS DURING OFFSHORE HOSE REEL APPLICATIONS
The Marine2 launched by KLAW is 32% shorter and 25% lighter than traditional marine breakaway couplings and is designed to reduce stress on hoses used on offshore hose reel applications. The shorter design can reduce coil disruption on the reel, unlike alternative designs that are longer, and therefore increase hose stress and fatigue. The new coupling design provides a safe parting point within the hose transfer system in ship-to-ship, ship-to-shore and vessel-to-offshore platform transfers. The coupling is designed to activate in an emergency, such as vessel drift in stormy conditions or pressure surge. When activated, the valves within the coupling shut both upstream and downstream flows within the hose transfer system, and allow immediate separation of the line. Therefore, it minimizes the chance of spill and reduces the risk of damage to assets, injury to personnel, extended downtime, and contamination of the environment. The coupling comes in 2-in., 3-in., 4-in., 5-in. and 6-in. standard nominal bore sizes, and is compatible with soft-walled, hard-walled, and composite hoses. Image: KLAW.
RAR TECHNOLOGY ADDS FEATURES TO NEW RELEASABLE MOORING SYSTEM
Delmar Systems has launched the new RAR Plus and the MOOR-Max Releasable Mooring System. The RAR Plus builds on a 35-year history of previous Rig Anchor Release (RAR) technology by adding key features, such as a manual backup release method, and increasing the ultimate and release load ratings to the acoustic release technology. In addition, it transmits both direct and indirect line tension measurements from internal sensors, for real-time display onboard the rig in a graphical user interface. The new RAR technology is a key component in the Delmar MOOR-Max Releasable Mooring System. The MOOR-Max system provides a new mooring system for MODUs to avoid storms or improve rig move efficiency. It combines acoustic mooring release technology with efficient proprietary methods from more than 40 years of rig moving experience. Image: Delmar Systems.
WELLSITE SURVEILLANCE SOLUTION OFFERS ANALYTICS, DATA MANAGEMENT
Dover Energy Automation and MOBOTIX AG have partnered in the development of a comprehensive wellsite surveillance solution. This combination integrates MOBOTIX’s suite of smart cameras and Dover Energy’s XSPOC artificial lift optimization software platform. The xVision module within Dover Energy’s XSPOC software integrates audio and video feeds from MOBOTIX’s line of smart IP cameras. The new solution provides scalability, analytics and data management. Additionally, it offers intelligent 3D motion detection, low bandwidth, high-quality image capabilities and other features, which allow personnel to execute increased levels of wellsite awareness. This reduces “windshield time” and streamlines response time to wellsite events and incidents.
