據(jù)世界石油2020年8月5日休斯敦報道，全球最大油田服務(wù)公司之一的美國哈里伯頓公司日前推出了Cerebro Force鉆頭傳感器，這是一種史無前例地從鉆頭上獲取重量、扭矩和彎曲測量數(shù)據(jù)的技術(shù)，這種技術(shù)可以提高對井下環(huán)境的了解，優(yōu)化鉆頭設(shè)計以及提高鉆井效率。

Cerebro Force鉆頭傳感器建立在哈里伯頓公司成功的鉆頭振動傳感平臺的基礎(chǔ)上，利用井下數(shù)據(jù)減少或消除由鉆頭設(shè)計、井底鉆具組合和鉆井參數(shù)選擇引起的地面測量不確定性和低效率。通過在客戶界面設(shè)計(DatCI)過程，哈里伯頓公司的鉆頭專家區(qū)域網(wǎng)絡(luò)與運(yùn)營商合作，為盆地特定應(yīng)用定制鉆頭，并將使用來自Cerebro Force鉆頭傳感器的數(shù)據(jù)，為高效、精確的鉆井提供新的設(shè)計和優(yōu)化參數(shù)。

哈里伯頓公司說：“實(shí)現(xiàn)鉆井性能要求有效地將能量轉(zhuǎn)化為巖屑。Cerebro Force鉆頭傳感器可以提供直接測量，幫助運(yùn)營商優(yōu)化鉆速，從而降低井建設(shè)成本。我們很高興能在我們的產(chǎn)品投資組合中增加唯一一款能夠精確測量應(yīng)變和壓力的鉆頭傳感器。”

哈里伯頓公司說，這種技術(shù)適用于固定刀具鉆頭，并與傳統(tǒng)的電機(jī)和旋轉(zhuǎn)導(dǎo)向驅(qū)動系統(tǒng)兼容。

位于德克薩斯州西部的一家運(yùn)營商最近使用了Cerebro Force鉆頭傳感器在鉆取井的曲線部分時提高了定向控制。Cerebro Force鉆頭傳感器的數(shù)據(jù)發(fā)現(xiàn)了幾個限制性能的問題，而哈里伯頓公司為此專門開發(fā)了一個緩解方案，該方案將優(yōu)化鉆井實(shí)踐和底部鉆具組合設(shè)計并減少38%的鉆取曲線部分所需的時間。

Halliburton introduces Cerebro Force drill bit sensors

Halliburton introduced Cerebro Force in-bit sensors, a first-of-its-kind technology that captures weight, torque and bending measurements directly from the bit to improve understanding of downhole environments, optimize bit design and increase drilling efficiency.

Built on Halliburton’s successful in-bit vibration sensing platform, Cerebro Force utilizes downhole data to reduce or eliminate surface measurement uncertainty and inefficiencies caused by bit design, bottomhole assembly and drilling parameter selection. Through the Design at the Customer Interface (DatCI) process, Halliburton’s local network of drill bit experts, collaborate with operators to customize bits for basin-specific applications, and will use data from Cerebro Force to inform new designs and optimize parameters for efficient and precise drilling.

“Achieving drilling performance requires efficiently converting energy into rock cutting. Cerebro Force in-bit sensors provide direct measurements to help operators optimize their rate of penetration to reduce well construction costs,” said David Loveless, vice president of Drill Bits and Services. “We are excited to add the only in-bit sensor that accurately measures strain and pressure to our portfolio of products.”

The technology is available on fixed cutter drill bits and is compatible with conventional motor and rotary steerable drive systems.

An operator in West Texas recently deployed Cerebro Force to improve directional control while drilling the curve portion of its wells. Cerebro Force data identified several issues that limited performance, and Halliburton developed a mitigation plan that optimized drilling practices and BHA design. This reduced the time to drill the curve section by 38 percent.
