    摘要: Aspects of the subject technology relate to systems and methods for improving mud motor trajectory controls. Systems and methods are provided for receiving control data from a mud motor trajectory controller, predefining a plurality of control modes based on the control data from the mud motor trajectory controller, achieving desired slide rotate ratios and toolface angles by solving an established objective function that mathematically represents operational preferences and system constraints for a selected control mode of the plurality of control modes, generating a modulation procedure that converts the slide-rotate ratios to a binary slide and rotate control sequence, and applying the modulation procedure to generate the binary slide and rotate control sequence.

    摘要: A system for regulating a pump down operation may include a controller, a motor drive, a parameter estimation unit and a controller design unit. In examples, the controller may be configured to identify a difference between a downhole tension set-point to an actual downhole tension. The motor drive may be configured to adjust a line speed set point of the motor drive based at least in part on the difference from the controller to create an actual line speed from the motor drive to follow the downhole tension set-point. The parameter estimation unit may be configured to produce a fluid drag coefficient, a friction coefficient, and a line speed delay constant. The controller design unit may be configured to send one or more control gains to the controller based at least in part on the fluid drag coefficient, the friction coefficient, and the line speed delay constant.

    摘要: Systems and methods for stochastically projecting a well trajectory of a bottom hole assembly in a subsurface formation, where the bottom hole assembly includes one or more transducers, a trajectory controller coupled to the bottom hole assembly, an information handling system coupled to the transducers, and the information system includes a processor, and a non-transitory computer readable medium for storing one or more instructions that, when executed, causes the processor to receive a first one or more system model parameters from a system model parameter probability distribution; receive a first one or more steering inputs; receive a first one or more values corresponding to the bottom hole assembly initial conditions from the one or more transducers at a first position within a subsurface formation; and stochastically project a trajectory of the bottom hole assembly from the first position within the subsurface formation to a second position within the subsurface formation.
