Digital Drilling in Holographic World

Nowadays oil & gas industry is receiving a bulk of data than ever before from its onsite wells where may hundred miles away from operator's headquarter, which benefits us monitoring and analyzing those digital fortune in a data hub, saving a lot of expenditure and improving the efficiency compared to old-fashioned approach which requires senior engineers with rich experience working on wellsite. In this way, the oil & gas operators save money tremendously on human cost under the booming of drilling operations. While, could we do more to dig out further values from those data? Make our operations less dependable on limited resources, the senior drilling engineers, especially when the oil and gas industry face the chasm of human resources sustainability after the hit of downturn, also make the plain real-time data more intuitive and self-explanatory to the operation decision makers in an unprecedented way. What's more, could we make our drilling activities more visible and interactive? This paper is going to introduce using augmented reality technology to create an intuitive platform to integrate and present real-time operation parameters and data. Like any revolutionary method or technology, it could improve the industry efficiency in a non-negligible way, help us manage massive real-time data more effectively and efficiently. The 3D holographic projection presents dynamic models or systems based on the data stream and graphic algorithm, which evolves our industry from 2D world to 3D world, combining the reality environment with the digital world, creating a digital reflection of the real wellsite, bottom hole assembly (BHA), well trajectories, lithological layers, etc. Thanks to the visualization technologies and augmented reality, we can create a digital twin of physic world for those engineers, technicians, managers using holographic method to interact with, scale up and down, analyzing in a better awareness. In this paper, we will describe a digital drilling wellsite which is established on operator's Real Time Operation Center (RTOC)office to monitor and analyze live field operations, the operator could have an overview of their on-site operations, tracking the equipment performance, engineering parameters and downhole status to enhance the understanding and interaction with the on-going field operations. The wellbore trajectory model gives the team a superior knowledge by combining the engineering data or geological data. Not only help well placement in desired reservoir but also improve the anti-collision concept in direction drilling. This model is extreme meaningful when engineers need a discussion to optimize or change their drilling plan as it is 3D visible and able to interact with. We will continues digging out further more value of the real-time data collected from wellsite to educate us find the cost-saving ways which improve our performance and eliminate the complicated conditions that normally resulted in Non production time (NPT) event. For our oil & gas industry, we are just start to have a more adventure and prosperous journey in digitalizing transforming.

The Choice of Multimodal Transport Mode of Agricultural By-Product Logistics in Land-Sea New Corridor in Western China Based on Big Data

The “new land-sea corridor” has brought cross-border facilitation and increased trade financing channels. It not only has long been a road-sea transportation corridor but also has been upgraded to a trade corridor. As one of the most inclusive cities, Chongqing, with the help of this channel, can bring more dividends and international resources to the entire western region. Through the logistics base of Singaporean-Chongqing cooperation in multimodal transport, Chongqing can play an important role as a channel operation center and an important logistics hub. Some international shipping resources will be extended to Chongqing, letting the whole western region share the agricultural by-products brought by Southeast Asian countries. Multimodal transport is a common mode of transport in international trade; it combines various modes of transport organically, brings into play the advantages of various modes of transport, and can reduce costs to a large extent. At present, multimodal transport is mostly used for importing and exporting goods; multimodal transport is not widely used in agricultural by-product logistics transportation. Multimodal combination will be used in the transportation of agricultural by-product logistics; it can avoid the shortcomings of simply using road transportation and make the logistics transportation cost of agricultural by-products lower and management more convenient. Based on the large data, this paper considers factors such as route factors, transfer mode selection, and window meeting time in the transfer process; a mathematical model and advanced colony ant algorithm can be used to solve the transfer optimization problem of a very large fleet of agricultural by-product logistics. This solution can provide instructions and suggestions for companies that should increase relevant scientific research.

Transforming Real Time Drilling Operation Center into a High-Performance Enabler in the Digital Era: A Brunei Case Study

This paper documents the aim to develop the necessary integrated digital capability and initiative to enhance and improve operation performance and transform the way data is manipulated, visualized and interpreted within Real-Time Performance Center (RTPC) by an oil and gas operator in Brunei. The strategy to achieve enhancement of RTPC deliverables and performance KPIs demanded the following steps: Adapting an engineering solution to align performance monitoring and set measurable and achievable KPIs. This process begins with an assessment of the current working practice. Automating KPIs dashboard that is customizable to meet stakeholder's expectation. Implementing the New Way of Working with the change management support. Advancing with the historical data loading, data clean-up by data mapping process and detailed quality checks before computing the best composite well time (BCWT). Improved Drilling Efficiency & Optimization (DEO) workflow by monitoring Mechanical Specific Energy (MSE) to improve the drilling rate of penetration (ROP) and mitigate drilling dysfunctions. The technical scope of the operation center includes the transformation of the high-frequency data transmitted from sensors at the rig site into information that encourages continuous improvement of all operational activities, both offshore and onshore by well engineers through digital solution collaboration. The result of the collaborative initiatives an enhanced Real Time Performance Center, with which transparency becomes imperative, strong performance KPIs are continuously monitored and improved through benchmarking of drilling activities as well as off-bottom practices and flat-time operations in the current well against the offset wells. In addition, the daily data-centric performance-driven discussions that take place contribute to a successful enhancement strategy. Among key improvements observed between the start of RTPC implementation to Q3-2020: Operations time improvement: 32% reduction in backreaming time Invisible lost time (ILT) reduction: More than 30% improvement in 12.25in and 8.5in RSS BHA connection time and more than 60% improvement in tripping speed. Significant reduction in NPT categories within the RTPC's scope, e.g., well control, hole cleaning, stuck pipe and mud contamination. The value gained from monitoring and achieving performance goals is calculated in terms of financial incentives and frequently communicated to the rig teams. More importantly, the change was properly managed, and the leadership team recognized a smooth transition between the previous inefficient RTPC setup and the new data-centric ways of working. Ultimately, the enhanced RTPC with its digital portal, is the knowledge center that showcases Wells Team's continuous improvement and performance driven culture. This strategy of enhancing RTPC's performance though digital initiative can be adapted in other real time centers and it is envisaged that the implementation of these engineering solutions to the RTPC will facilitate practicing engineers to optimize the operational performance and efficiency.
