L1 Adaptive Control for Directional Drilling Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper considers downhole directional drilling systems in the presence of unexpected variations in steering force, input delays, measurement noise and measurement delays, and explores the application of L1 adaptive controller for the trajectory control problem. The Explicit Force, Finitely Sharp, Zero Mass (EFFSZM) model is used for the steering system, in which spatial delays, modeling inaccuracies, parametric uncertainties, and noise are considered. The L1 adaptive controller ensures that the centerline of the borehole follows a well path planned according to a priori available geologic conditions and local residential information. Path tracking results are demonstrated by simulations.

Integrated Estimator and L1 Adaptive Controller for Well Drilling Systems
This paper presents an integrated adaptive estimator-controller scheme for a class of systems with only partially measured states. To estimate the non-measured states, a fast adaptive estimator is applied. The estimation is used in the L1 adaptive controller, which adapts to time-varying unknown parameters and time-varying bounded disturbances in the system without restricting their rate of var...
متن کاملAdoptive Control of Well Drilling Systems
Control of well drilling operations poses a challenging issue to be tackled. The loss of well control could lead to the occurrence of blowout as a severe threat, involving the risk of human lives and environmental and economic consequences. Conventional proportional-integral (PI) controller is a common practice in the well control operation. The small existing margin between pore pressure and f...

متن کاملBottomhole Pressure Estimation and L1 Adaptive Control in Managed Pressure Drilling System
This paper designs an integrated estimator and L1 adaptive control scheme to address the two main challenges involved in the Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) system: first, the bottomhole states are updated at a low rate, which can be viewed as unmeasured and thus need to be estimated in real time; and second, the drilling process is subject to uncertainties including unknown parameters (e.g., f...
