Simulation and Modeling of Data Transmission Process in Boreholes Using Intelligent Drill Pipe for a Laboratory Experiment

Currently, most oil and gas wells are drilled by continuously transmitting downhole measured information (directional and geological information) in real-time to the surface to monitor and steer the well along a pre-defined path. The intelligent drill pipe method can transmit data over longer distan...

description Currently, most oil and gas wells are drilled by continuously transmitting downhole measured information (directional and geological information) in real-time to the surface to monitor and steer the well along a pre-defined path. The intelligent drill pipe method can transmit data over longer distances and at a higher rate than other methods, such as mud pulse telemetry, acoustic telemetry, and electromagnetic telemetry. Nevertheless, it is expensive and requires boosters along the drill string. In the available literature, academic research rarely addresses the data transmission process in boreholes using intelligent drill pipes. Furthermore, there is a need for an effective and validated model to study various controllable parameters to enhance the efficiency of the intelligent drill pipe telemetry without the need to develop several physical lab or field prototypes. This paper presents the development of a model based on MATLAB Simulink to simulate the process of data transmission in boreholes utilizing intelligent drill pipes. Laboratory experimental prototype measurements have been used to test the model’s effectiveness. A good correlation is found between the measured lab data and the model’s predictions for the signals transmitted contactless through intelligent drill pipes with a correlation coefficient (R<sup>2</sup>) above 0.9. This model can enhance data transmission efficiency via intelligent drill pipes, study different concepts, and eliminate the need to develop several unnecessarily expensive and time-consuming physical lab prototypes.
