Control of Stick-slip Oscillations in Oil Well Drill Strings Using the Back-stepping Technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with the problem of suppression of stick-slip oscillations in oil well drill-strings. The backstepping technique is used to design two control schemes for the system. The first controller is a typical backstepping controller; the second controller is a sliding back-stepping controller. Moreover, a reduced order observer is proposed to estimate the unmeasurable states of the system. Simulation results of the two proposed control schemes with and without the observer, indicate that both control schemes work well.

Backstepping and flatness approaches for stabilization of the stick-slip phenomenon for drilling
In this article, we propose control solutions to suppress undesirable torsional oscillations of the drill string in oil well drilling systems. Two feedback control laws are derived from Partial Differential Equations (PDE) models capturing the main features of the so-called stick-slip phenomenon. Comparative simulations highlight the merits of the two approaches.
متن کاملA SIMULATION OF MANAGED PRESSURE DRILLING IN IRANIAN DARQUAIN OIL FIELD
The narrow operating window between pore pressure and fracture pressure makes drilling difficult in some operations. A feasibility study of managed pressure drilling (MPD) is carried out on Iran Darquain oil field. The previous wells drilled in this field showed that mud returns were lost during drilling Gadvan formation. The present work addresses this problem by means of surface back pressure...
متن کاملThe Excitation and Control of Torsional Slip-Stick In the Presence of Axial-Vibrations
The interaction between friction and vibration is a widely recognised source of inefciency in all mechanical systems. The nature of this interaction is very dependent on the dynamic environment and its control requires a detailed understanding of the mathematical structure governing the stability of this environment. Although the fundamental causes of friction-induced intermittent motion have b...
متن کاملVerifying Safety and Persistence Properties of Hybrid Systems Using Flowpipes and Continuous Invariants
We propose a method for verifying persistence of nonlinear hybrid systems. Given some system and an initial set of states, the method can guarantee that system trajectories always eventually evolve into some specified target subset of the states of one of the discrete modes of the system, and always remain within this target region. The method also computes a time-bound within which the target ...
متن کاملNonlinear Friction Compensation Design for Suppressing Stick Slip Oscillations in Oil Well Drillstrings
Friction appears in all mechanical systems and has a significant impact on control. This paper presents simple but effective nonlinear friction compensation method for a drillstring system, by considering the stickslip motion of the bit on the bottom hole assembly (BHA) in oil wells. Due to nonlinear problem at nearzero velocity where the torque exerted on bit is a function of the bit speed, th...
