ESIM-PSS2 Portable Snubbing Simulator

Introduction

Portable snubbing simulation training system is developed by Southwest Petroleum University and Chengdu Esimtech Petroleum Equipment Simulation Technology Exploitation Co.Ltd.It is a system used to provides simulation training of snubbing operations-running and pulling string.It has the advantages such as easy to take away,and with completed functions

Portable snubbing simulation training system is developed by combining petroleum engineering, computer technology, and virtual reality technologies. It can simulate the operations such as running and pulling tubing and other tools with pressure. It can be used to training new workers, crew leader, operation supervisor, etc. Through the training provided by this system, students can master the basic technological process of running and pulling out string with pressure.

The system adopts quantity of mathematical models to simulate various parameters and physical relationship between them in snubbing operation, such as balance point, pressure, rate, etc. to reach the actual effect of real snubbing operation. Real time 3D animation can be displayed through single channel projecting system, which makes students clearer about snubbing operation.

This system is composed of snubbing driller control console, graphics system and accessory software. Hardware system is designed according to industrial standard. Data acquisition and control system is made up by PLC, which ensures the reliability of the system. The system has low input cost and maintenance cost and no security risk.

2. System Component

2.1 System Hardware

The system is available when the snubbing driller console and computer is connected to any display output. It can simulate the motion of lifting machine, slips, BOP rams, etc. and displays the lifting pressure, BOP ram pressures, etc.

2.2 System Software

2.2.1 Master control software

2.2.2 Graphics software

1. Hydraulic drive based snubbing 3D scene display software module

2.3 System standard configuration

3. System Function

3.1 Function and Feature

1. Parameter display: system oil pressure, BOP ram pressure, balance/ bleed valve, casing pressure, well depth, tubing shoe location, lifting board height, etc.

2. It has flexible parameter setting function. Instructor can set various parameters freely, such as well depth, casing pressure, tubing parameter, etc. Instructor can customize parameters based on real well condition and real equipment condition, which can make the training more authentic.

3. 3D animation provides the real site visualization. The animation can display the snubbing rig floor scene, BOP motion and working theories. The system can display different scenes through shifting and splitting screen display, such as driller console perspective, BOP perspective, slips perspective, etc.

4. The system can score students’ operation automatically. It can provide scores and point deducting reasons according to students’ operation procedure and skill.

5. It has completed students managing function. It can manage students’ information, operation project, scores, etc.
