Abstract

Abstract: As the Riserless Mud Recovery (RMR) system uses the return line instead of the riser as the upward return channel of the drilling fluid, the injection and upward return path of the drilling fluid in the seawater section become two independent units, which dramatically changes the heat transfer mode of liquid. Therefore, based on the characteristics of the system, this paper builds a dynamic analysis model to simulate the circulating temperature of the different components and carries out a dynamic simulation of the circulating temperature change for the whole system. The research results show that compared with the analytical solution models built by Lima and Pereira, the model in this paper is more suitable for the actual drilling situation, and the simulation results are accurate. During the drilling operation, the operation time change causes the circulating temperature change of the whole system. The evolution of the drilling fluid density also changes the circulating temperature of the whole system. However, the variation trend is different from the operation time. The change of the operating water depth mainly affects the circulating temperature of the each component in the seawater section. The impact on the corresponding parts of the formation section is weak.

Key words: riserless mud recovery system, whole system, circulating temperature, dynamic simulation, dynamic analysis model
