The portable drilling system simulator is made by the combination
of petroleum engineering, computer technology, virtual reality and
computer simulation. It provides training projects such as
drilling, tripping, and well controlling. It is mainly used for
training of driller, drilling supervisor, and other technical
personnel. Training and testing provided in the system helps
personnel to learn basic operations, process, and well shutting-in
and killing technology.
The system uses mathematical models to simulate the conditions and
parameters in oil engineering operation, such as pressure, torque,
drilling rate, and emission. It reflects these physical parameters
accurately, making the system a simulation of real effects. Also,
with synchronous 3D animation, the system shows operating scene in
single-channel projection. Together with high simulation of live
sounds, the system makes users feel
immersive.
The system is made up by two portable consoles, laptop, graphic
system and supporting software. The hardware is designed on the
basis of industry standard, and data acquisition and controlling
system are made up by PLC. These ensure the reliability of the
system. As a result, maintenance costs of the system are low, and
there are no security risks.
