    PID Control Design of Strongly Coupled Axial-Torsional Vibrations in Rotary Drilling Systems
    (Wydawnictwo SIGMA-NOT, 2024) Meddah, Sabrina; Idir, Abdelhakim; Tadjer, Sid Ahmed; Doghmane, Mohamed Zinelabidine; Kidouche, Madjid
    Drilling operations can encounter considerable challenges posed by strong, coupled vibrations that exert a complex influence on rotary drilling system performance. These vibrations are classified into three distinct types based on their propagation direction: axial, lateral, and torsional. Previous research efforts have predominantly focused on examining each vibration type in isolation. However, the effectiveness and resilience of developed controllers are profoundly affected by the often overlooked coupling effects arising from other types of vibrations. In this study, we propose the implementation of a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller for the coupled Axial-Torsional vibration system. The research presented herein is dedicated to investigate the performance of the controller under strongly coupled vibrations. To address the dynamic vibrations encountered during drilling, it is imperative to understand the intricate behavior of the drill bit in response to these vibrations before designing controllers to mitigate their impact. Numerous models have been proposed in the existing literature to elucidate the behavior of the drill string under axial-torsional vibrations. The objective of this research is to develop a comprehensive model of the drilling system and investigate the robustness of the PID controller to mitigate the adverse effects of coupled Axial-Torsional vibrations. By effectively analysing the obtained results, this study has contributed to the optimization and improvement of drilling operations under sever coupled vibrations.

    Stick-Slip vibration suppression in drill string using observer-based LQG controller
    (MDPI, 2022) Riane, Rami; Doghmane, Mohamed Zinelabidine; Kidouche, Madjid; Tee, Kong Fah; Djezzar, Sofiane
    Hydrocarbon exploration and production activities are guaranteed through various operations including the drilling process, which is realized by using rotary drilling systems. The process involves crushing the rock by rotating the drill bit along a drill string to create a borehole. However, during this operation, violent vibrations can occur at the level of the drill string due to its random interaction with the rocks. According to their axes of occurrence, there are three types of vibrations: axial, lateral, and torsional, where the relentless status of the torsional vibrations is terminologically known as the stick-slip phenomenon. Such a phenomenon can lead to increased fatigue of the drill string and cause its abortive fracture, in addition to reducing the efficiency of the drilling process and consequently making the exploration and production operations relatively expensive. Thus, the main objective of this paper is to eliminate the severe stick-slip vibrations that appear along the drill string of the rotary drilling system according to the LQG observer-based controller approach. The rock–bit interaction term is highly nonlinear, and the bit rotational velocity is unmeasurable; an observer was first designed to estimate the unknown inputs of the model, and then the controller was implemented in the drill string model with 10 degrees of freedom. The estimation process was essentially based on surface measurements, namely, the current and rotational velocity of the top drive. Thereafter, the performance of the proposed observer-based LQG controller was tested for different simulation scenarios in a SimScape/Matlab environment, for which the controller demonstrated good robustness in suppressing the severe stick-slip vibrations. Furthermore, the simulation and experimental results were compared to other controllers designed for the same model; the proposed observer-based LQG controller showed better performance, and it was less sensitive to structured disturbances than H∞. Thence, it is highly recommended to use the proposed approach in smart rotary drilling systems

    Rock–bit interaction effects on high-frequency stick-slip vibration severity in rotary drilling systems
    (Emerald, 2021) Mendil, Chafiaa; Kidouche, Madjid; Doghmane, Mohamed Zinelabidine; Benammar, Samir; Tee, Kong Fah
    Purpose: The drill string vibrations can create harmful effects on drilling performance because they generate the stick-slip phenomenon which reduces the quality of drilling and decreases the penetration rate and may affect the robustness of the designed controller. For this reason, it is necessary to carefully test the different rock-bit contact models and analyze their influences on system stability in order to mitigate the vibrations. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of rock-bit interaction on high-frequency stick-slip vibration severity in rotary drilling systems. Design/methodology/approach: The main objective of this study is an overview of the influence of the rock-bit interaction models on the bit dynamics. A total of three models have been considered, and the drilling parameters have been varied in order to study the reliability of the models. Moreover, a comparison between these models has allowed the determination of the most reliable function for stick-slip phenomenon. Findings: The torsional model with three degrees of freedom has been considered in order to highlight the effectiveness of the comparative study. Based on the obtained results, it has been concluded that the rock-bit interaction model has big influences on the response of the rotary drilling system. Therefore, it is recommended to consider the results of this study in order to design and implement a robust control system to mitigate harmful vibrations; the practical implementation of this model can be advantageous in designing a smart rotary drilling system. Originality/value: Many rock-bit functions have been proposed in the literature, but no study has been dedicated to compare them; this is the main contribution of this study. Moreover, a case study of harmonic torsional vibrations analysis has been carried out in well-A, which is located in an Algerian hydrocarbons field, the indices of vibrations detection are given with their preventions

    Hybrid sliding PID controller for torsional vibrations mitigation in rotary drilling systems
    (Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science, 2021) Mendil, Chafiaa; Kidouche, Madjid; Doghmane, Mohamed Zinelabidine
    During the drilling process, the drilling system devices can be exposed to several types of phenomena incited by lateral, axial, and torsional vibrations. The latter can lead to severe damages if they are not efficiently controlled and quickly mitigated. This research work is focused on the torsional vibrations, which are stimulated by the nonlinear dynamical interaction between the geological rocks and the drill bit. Wherein, a model with three degrees of freedom was designed to demonstrate the severity of the stick-slip phenomenon as consequence of torsional vibrations. The main objective of this study was to design a robust controller based on hybridizing a conventional PID controller with sliding mode approach in order to mitigate rapidly the torsional vibrations. Moreover, a comparative study between PI, PID and sliding mode controllers allowed us to emphasize the effectiveness of the new hybrid controller and improve the drilling system performances. Furthermore, the chattering phenomenon in the sliding surface was overcome by using the saturation function rather than the sign function. The obtained results proved the usefulness of the proposed controller in suppressing the stick-slip phenomenon for smart industrial drilling systems

    Decentralized overlapping control design with application to rotary drilling system
    (2021) Doghmane, Mohamed Zinelabidine; Kidouche, M.; Ahriche, A.
    The main objective of this paper is the development of overlapping decomposition strategy for con-troller design of rotary drilling systems based on the state feedback technique. The lamped modelof the system has been considered, Graph-based representation has been used to rearrange thestates of the model, and then a new model has been decomposed into subsystems after analyzingthe interconnection terms. The expansion–contraction principle, combined with Lyapunov theory,is used to investigate the global stability of the decomposed system so that controllability of thedesigned controller is guaranteed and its robustness is improved. Moreover, the designed strategyhas been validated with high-frequency mode stick-slip vibrations data measured in an operationalrotary drilling system of an exploration well drilled in an Algerian hydrocarbon field

    Lithological Characterization by Simultaneous Seismic Inversion in Algerian South Eastern Field
    (Engineering, Technology & Applied Science Research (ETASR), 2020) Eladj, S.; Lounissi, T. K.; Doghmane, Mohamed Zinelabidine; Djeddi, M.
    The main goal of this paper is to characterize a reservoir situated in the southeast of Algeria based on AVO seismic inversion. The seismic inversion model has been built by the iterative method of Aki and Richards’s approximation and it has been correlated with four-existing wells in the studied zone. The correlation rate between the inversion model and logging data is good (varying from 72% to 85%). Reservoir characterization of this field has been given in detail. The lithological description is used to construct a Geomechanical model that is useful for new wells’ drilling decisions. The high correlated results allowed us to have a vision on the horizontal variation of Petrophysical parameters such as density and lithological variation of three facies clay, tight limestone, and porous limestone. Moreover, this classification is used in the best way to determine the interesting zone with higher porosity values, so that the exploration strategy becomes more efficient with minimized uncertainties. Therefore, it is highly recommended to use the constructed model to propose new wells as well-5 in this study

    Unknown Resistive Torque Estimation of a Rotary Drilling System Based on Kalman Filter
    (Taylor & Francis, 2020) Riane, Rami; Kidouche, M.; Illoul, R.; Doghmane, Mohamed Zinelabidine
    Rotary drilling systems are widely used in petroleum engineering to drill oil and gas wells. Control of drilling process is a very important topic because it allows industrials to optimize drilling cost, improve borehole quality, and protect equipment. Many researchers have dealt with the control of rotary drilling systems, wherein, the main difficulty is that the rock-bit interaction term is highly nonlinear, and mathematical models simulate its dynamic but with insufficient fidelity because of the lack of measurement devices for bottom torque for these systems. In order to design an efficient controller, it is mandatory to have the model highly loyal to the rotary drilling system, which can represent the dynamic of the system under the rock-bit interaction term. The objective of this study is to estimate the unknown input torque based on Kalman filter, the estimation has been validated on a test bench. Moreover, it has been noticed that Kalman estimator has better efficiency in comparison to the pole placement method. The algorithm has been implemented on CompactRio using LabView environment and applied to experimental equivalent system to rotary drilling system equipment

    Analyze and modelingofdamage behavior of a C0.12%Mn1.02%Si0.29% HLE steel solicited in selected physicochemical medium
    (Mohammed Premier University, 2015) Belahcene, B.; Benmoussat, A.; Mansri, A.; Doghmane, Mohamed Zinelabidine
    The influence of environment and physical parameters on C0.12%Mn1.02%Si0.29% HLE steel steel corrosion damage behaviour in NaCl solutions was studied using weight loss, pH evolution at 300k to 370k, electro-exchanges, and passivity. Herein, the results show that the corrosion rate changes versus type of thermal treatment and cooling fluid, solution concentration, shape, size and cooling speed of the samples. The resolution of Nernst equation proves that the increase in temperature has a direct effect on hydrogen potential of the solution, current and corrosion potential of the metal. Moreover, the inhibition efficiency was determined by theoretical calculation using mechanical molecular and semi-empirical method. These results guided us to conclude that the inhibitor, which has low electronegativity than C0.12%Mn1.02%Si0.29% Steel has good efficiency
