In the petroleum industry with high professional barriers, the successful practice of a series of management innovation measures has allowed efficient oil extraction to bear innovative fruits in the vast Taklimakan Desert in Xinjiang next door.
"Intelligent management platforms replace the traditional management model, which is inevitable for the development of the industry. There are no obstacles to mixed ownership, and it also reflects the advantages of standardized management." Xinjiang Petrol Energy Services Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Petrol He Jianbin, chairman of the company, said that these measures are useful explorations and attempts to gain benefits from innovative management, and have already achieved visible and tangible results in the practice of oil well mining.
Upgrading smart oil drilling capabilities
To complete deep wells and ultra-deep wells in a short time and with high efficiency, an intelligent management platform must be established to digitalize and intelligently manage oil drilling in order to make drilling operations safer and more efficient.
Petrol Company is an early private enterprise engaged in the oil drilling industry in China. It was established in 2003. The company's goal is to establish a green and efficient oil production plan, demonstrate new development concepts and the responsibility of green and energy-saving drilling capabilities, and contribute to my country's petroleum industry. Drilling explores new ways and develops an effective green drilling management platform.
By establishing an intelligent management digital oil drilling platform, intelligent and digital management of oil drilling can be completed successfully in a short time and with high efficiency. Ultra-deep wells above 8,000 meters can also adopt this intelligent management method to achieve efficient and green results. Drilling and mining.
Smart oil extraction is a strategic development direction that can play a role in improving the quality and efficiency of oil and gas extraction, achieving the goal of more well teams, lower management costs, and higher extraction efficiency. At present, after several years of operation practice, various systems such as video command, remote transmission, and operation and maintenance management are operating smoothly, and various tasks are running efficiently. The multiplier effect of promoting development has been revealed, and the complexity of engineering failures has been reduced. Innovation in technological management has reached achieved the expected effect.
The drilling remote video command and monitoring platform mainly consists of four major systems: video collection, video output, video display, and data transmission. The setting of cameras, the use of walkie-talkies, the connection of mobile phones, and the establishment of remote video monitoring and command platforms have jointly changed the traditional management methods.
Not long ago, at the site of Petrol's fully automatic 9,000-meter oil well drilling platform located at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and the hinterland of the Tarim Desert, He Jianbin said that the wellhead of the drilling platform is the "main battlefield" for drilling operators and is also the most labor-intensive. , places with higher risk. Through the intelligent management platform for drilling safety and production, internal "daily fee system" management is implemented, and production instructions are sent directly to the well team, which improves the level of safe well control management, reduces drilling costs, and plays a significant role in improving quality and efficiency.
Safety supervision must be fully covered, without blind spots, and around the clock. It is impossible to rely on manpower alone. Safety supervision can only be achieved by taking scientific and effective measures. Petrol Company has a large well team and a long drilling front. With the country's emphasis on oil field development, the number of Petrol's drilling teams has increased more significantly in recent years. Most of the drilling teams are located in the hinterland of the desert and the piedmont area, far away from the company's offices. Most of them are four to five hundred kilometers away from Korla, Xinjiang, the nearest is more than 200 kilometers, and the farthest is more than 1,000 kilometers. Faced with the characteristics of "many points, wide coverage, and long fronts", the production command center uses video remote monitoring to better solve these problems.
Remote command accelerates efficient drilling
Due to the long drilling front and long distance, technical managers cannot arrive at the site in a short time. If uphole problems cannot be dealt with in a timely and effective manner, it may lead to "abnormalities becoming complex, complexities becoming faults, and faulty sleeves malfunctioning."
A command center is set up on the drilling remote video command and monitoring platform. Personnel from production, safety, technology, materials and other functional departments work together and are on duty 24 hours a day. Problems encountered on site can be dealt with immediately. Communication between departments and offices is timely and smooth, and the production organization is running smoothly. Efficient.
The production command center has set up an expert decision-making group, which is composed of technical management personnel with rich practical experience. Complex failures on site must be discussed by the expert decision-making group. After forming decision-making opinions, instructions are issued to the well team. Experts have richer experience and more comprehensive skills, and their analysis, judgment and decision-making of special, abnormal and complex situations underground are more accurate, scientific and efficient, thereby improving the level of drilling production technology management, improving drilling production timeliness and drilling speed. , underground construction risks are effectively controlled.
The command center is equipped with workstations. As the dispatched agency of the command center, it is responsible for the on-site management of the drilling team. Each workstation manages 4 to 6 drilling teams according to the region. Drilling team engineers and safety supervisors are integrated into the workstation for unified management and deployment, forming a relatively complete management system and method, thereby improving management efficiency and reducing operating costs.
Since the establishment of the production command center, the company's production technical management personnel have been reduced from the original 70 to 80 people to the current 30 people, which has improved work efficiency and reduced management costs, fully embodying the advantages of informatization and intelligent management of oil drilling. It can greatly improve drilling timeliness, reduce complex accidents and ensure underground safety.
As of March this year, after the production command center has been operating for several years, the company's drilling technical indicators have improved significantly, especially the significant reduction in fault timeliness, which has directly led to an improvement in operating efficiency. According to reports, in the oil drilling industry, reducing faults means creating benefits. Every 1 percentage point reduction in fault timeliness can reduce large economic losses.
Intelligent management improves drilling equipment efficiency
Every ultra-deep well of more than eight or nine kilometers that Petroleum has drilled in recent years has been successfully drilled in a short time and with high efficiency. It is understood that ultra-deep wells of about 8,000 meters can be drilled in a short drilling cycle. Authoritative experts in the country's energy field have visited Petrole's 9-kilometer drilling platform in the hinterland of the Taklimakan Desert in Xinjiang in the past few years to conduct on-site inspections and provide guidance on its intelligent management platform management and construction model, as well as creatively carry out drilling rig "oil drilling." Like the business "Change Electricity".
Petrol Company entered the field of drilling engineering services in 2007. It has a group of oil drilling experts and technical backbones, and has developed a series of unique drilling technologies for drilling complex formations. It has EPC general contracting capabilities for drilling ultra-deep wells, complex wells and special process wells. With strong strength, it is a large-scale deep well and ultra-deep well drilling engineering enterprise in China, providing services to PetroChina Tarim Oilfield, Sinopec Northwest Oilfield, Akmomu Gas Field, and Boyuan Kepingbei Oilfield.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Petroleum Company has conscientiously implemented the new development concept of "innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing" in compliance with national macro-policies, and has made progress in the visualization, real-time, intelligent and green aspects of oil drilling. We have made unremitting efforts and achieved remarkable results.
During many years of development, He Jianbin, who has a hard-working spirit and entrepreneurial vision, attaches great importance to the application of technological innovation and management innovation in green and efficient drilling. His long-cherished wish is to innovate and create high-end equipment to exploit oil while also establishing a scientific and reasonable drilling management plan to achieve risk control and ensure safety and efficiency through intelligent management.
According to reports, the country is currently increasing its efforts in scientific and technological innovation in the strategic direction of oil exploration. This year, more representatives of the National Two Sessions will provide suggestions for improving the quality and efficiency of the oil industry. He Jianbin is determined to lead Petroleum Company to continue to contribute to improving my country's Xinjiang and even the country's oil and gas exploration capabilities.
