1. Introduction

Petroleum logging operation is a complicated,consumable and demanded work.Therefore,the operation skill and competency of the operator is very important.While,traditionally training of the workers is with high risk and costs much time;and also,traditional training cannot playback accidents and special working conditions,and cannot objectively evaluate worker’s operation.Production well test simulation training system takes the advantage of computer simulation and virtual reality,network technology,graphics technical,multi-media technical and well logging theory to solve the problem of pre-post training and skill evaluation of well logging technicians and workers and make training and evaluation keep step with the technology development and production demand.

This system uses 3D animation to display structure and working theories of various well logging devices, and the whole well logging process. It can provide training and test of operation on well head of oil well, water well and gas well; training and test of raising and lowering of drawworks, lowering with block, raising with stuck; training and test of theoretical knowledge. The system is composed of well logging surface unit, drawworks console, oil well, water well, gas well, graphics system and accessory software. All the consoles in the system are similar to real equipment. All panel layout, operation methods and parameter display are the same as the actual devices. Virtual reality technology and 3D animation, combined with lifelike sound effect, make up an immersive training environment.

This system has online examination system on well lolling theory, 17 3D teaching animation of well logging technology, operation training and test system of the three kinds of wellhead, training and test system of 4 drawworks operation, training and testing of 9 well logging technology including injection well, withdrawal well and engineering well, as well as students managing system. The system can also be customized according to the user’s requirements.

2. Drawworks console

Drawworks console takes Oehman’s apparatus drawworks as prototype. The drawworks panel, operation method and function of operation engines are the same as real drawworks, mainly including drum control lever, throttle lever, brake lever, system pressure regulating valve, emergency on-off valve, hydraulic motor speed switch, transmission position switch, engine unit meter, oil pressure meter, system pressure meter, etc.

Drum lever, throttle lever and brake lever are the key devices on drawworks console, and the data of the two levers are acquired by PLC through simulation input module. Push drum lever, and the drum will rotate forward. Lower the cable, and the more the drum lever is pushed, the faster the drum will rotate. Pull backward the drum lever, and the drum will rotate backward. Raise the cable, and the more the drum lever is pulled, the faster the drum will rotate. Push throttle lever, and motor rotation speed will increase, and drum rotation will be faster. Simulated motor noises changes as the motor rotation speed. The rotation speed will also be displayed on the motor rotation speed meter. Push brake lever, the braking force increases, and drum rotation speed decreases, and finally stops.
