This paper presents a constrained
finite horizon
model predictive control
(MPC)
scheme for
regulation of the
annular pressure in a well during managed pressure drilling from a floating
vessel
subject to heave motion.
In
addition
the robustness of
a
controller to deal with heave
disturbances
despite uncertainties in
the
friction factor and bulk modulus
is investigated.
The
stochastic model describing sea waves in the North Sea is used
to simulate
the heave
disturbances
.
The results sh
ow that
the
closed
-
loop simulation without disturbance
has a fast
regulation response
,
without any overshoot
, and
is
better than a
proportional
-
integral
-
derivative (
PID
)
controller
. The constrained MPC
for
managed pressure drilling
shows
further
improved
disturbance rejection capabilities
with measured or predicted heave disturbance
.
Monte Carlo simulations show that
the
constrained MPC has a good performance to regulate
set point and attenuate the effect
of heave disturbance in case of significant uncertainties in
the well parameter valuesauthor preprint, Copyright © 2014 Marine Technology Society - For persnonal use onl
