ADVANCED FAULT DIAGNOSIS TECHNOLOGY
We developed a fault re-prediction model for subsea equipment using the Wiener process and dynamic Bayesian networks. Powered by the expectation maximization algorithm, the model achieves high accuracy, with predicted RUL deviating less than 3.5% from actual values. It successfully forecasted failures in the subsea BOP stack and control system, proving its effectiveness in predictive maintenance. This approach enhances reliability and minimizes downtime in subsea operations.
OPTIMIZING OFFSHORE WELL CONTROL
We propose a tenacity-centered, condition-based maintenance strategy for offshore oil well control equipment to reduce costs and operational risks. By optimizing availability and RUL, this approach minimizes downtime and extends equipment life. Implementation has led to a 27% reduction in maintenance costs and a 25% increase in equipment availability, even under harsh conditions. This strategy enhances reliability, efficiency, and sustainability in subsea operations.
OFFSHORE SAFETY AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE
We have conducted extensive debugging and testing to ensure a reliable system, which has been successfully deployed on key offshore platforms, including South China Sea No. 10 and No. 8, and the Endeavour drilling platform. Notably, it has been applied to China’s first subsea emergency well packer, a major offshore safety milestone. Featured on CCTV, the system enhances the safety, reliability, and efficiency of offshore oil and gas operations, serving as a critical safeguard.
