9,508m

FEODE FECCS — the only domestically developed valve-type continuous circulation drilling system in China. By maintaining uninterrupted mud circulation during connection make-up, FECCS eliminates pressure spikes and ECD fluctuations across critical formations. Verified at EP21-4-A1H — China's deepest offshore well at 9,508 m, a dual national record for depth and horizontal reach — in 2024. 远东 FECCS 是国内唯一自主研发的阀式连续循环钻井系统。通过接立柱过程中持续保持钻井液循环,FECCS 消除关键地层的压力波动与 ECD 跳变。2024年于中国海上第一深井 EP21-4-A1H(井深 9,508 米、井深与水平位移双项全国纪录)完成验证。

01CLEAN清洁

Continuous cuttings transport — a cleaner hole连续返屑带砂,井眼更清洁

  • Prevents cuttings-bed build-up, reducing drag, stuck pipe and related complications防止和减少岩屑床形成,减少阻卡等复杂情况
  • No pump-off cuttings settlement and re-grinding — solids control works better避免开停泵造成岩屑反复沉降挤磨,提高固控效果
  • Lower friction and torque — less load on top drive and pump systems, safer operations降低摩阻与扭矩,减轻顶驱和泵系统负荷,提升作业安全性
  • Fewer and shorter wiper trips — more productive rig hours减少短起下钻次数与段长,提高作业效率
Torque fluctuation 2.86 vs 7.40 kN·m · zero wiper trips扭矩波动 2.86 对比 7.40 kN·m · 零通井 PY10-5-A1H — liner ran straight to bottom, eliminating a 41 h trip; Bohai wells cut cuttings 3.8% → 0.4%.PY10-5-A1H 井 — 尾管直接下到底、省去一趟 41 小时通井;渤海井岩屑浓度由 3.8% 降至 0.4%。
02STABLE稳压

Eliminates pressure surges — stable wellbore pressure有效消除压力激动,井眼系统压力稳定

  • Steady wellbore pressure prevents collapse and keeps the hole smooth and in gauge保持井内压力稳定,防止井壁坍塌,保持井眼光滑
  • Effective ECD control prevents surge-induced losses and influx, and eases mud conditioning有效控制 ECD 值,防止压力激动引起的井漏与溢流,利于泥浆性能调整
  • A steady bottomhole pressure allows a lower ECD — faster drilling, better reservoir protection井底压力平稳,可适当降低 ECD 值,提高钻速、保护储层
ECD fluctuation < 5% — vs 17.6–21% conventionalECD 波动 < 5% — 常规接立柱为 17.6–21% EP21-4-A1H held ECD steady through three fault zones; PY10-5-A1H kept ECD within 2.3% across a fault that collapsed the window to 1.20–1.32 g/cm³ — no losses, no influx.EP21-4-A1H 井穿越三条断层 ECD 平稳;PY10-5-A1H 井在密度窗口骤缩至 1.20–1.32 g/cm³ 的断层段 ECD 波动控制在 2.3% 以内 — 无井漏、无溢流。
03SAVE增效

Higher drilling efficiency, lower well cost提高钻井时效,降低钻井成本

  • Fewer downhole incidents — more on-bottom drilling time降低井下复杂情况发生概率,提高钻井时效
  • No hole-cleaning circulation needed before each connection — total connection time across the well drops sharply省去接立柱前停泵循环返砂的等待,全井接立柱总时大幅缩短
Average ROP 19.30 vs 7.66 m/h — about 2.5×平均机械钻速 19.30 对比 7.66 m/h — 约 2.5 倍 PY10-5-A1H vs an offset well without continuous circulation — saving 39 rig-hours against plan; back-reaming trips up 71% faster on EP21-4-A1H.PY10-5-A1H 井对比未用连续循环的邻井 — 较计划节省 39 钻机小时;EP21-4-A1H 井倒划眼起钻提速 71%。
04SMOOTH平稳

Steady borehole conditions — better wellbore quality保障井筒压力平稳,井身质量更优

  • Less interference with directional and steering tools — tighter trajectory control减少对定向与导向仪器的干扰,提高井眼轨迹控制能力
  • Good wellbore quality eases casing running and cementing operations良好的井身质量,利于下套管与固井作业
9,508 m through three faults — no losses, no collapse, no stuck pipe9,508 m 穿越三条断层 — 无井漏、无坍塌、无卡钻 EP21-4-A1H, China's deepest offshore well — longest single run 1,744 m; on PY10-5-A1H the φ177.8 mm liner ran straight to bottom with normal cementing returns.EP21-4-A1H 井(中国海上第一深井)单趟最长进尺 1,744 m;PY10-5-A1H 井φ177.8 mm 尾管直接下到底、固井返出正常。

Why FECCS — and only FECCS — for HPHT and ERD wells 高温高压与超大位移井的 FECCS 不二之选

01

Only Domestic Valve-Type CCS国内唯一阀式连续循环系统

The only domestically developed valve-type continuous circulation drilling system in China. One of the few providers globally to offer HPV + PLC + Manifold intelligent control for valve-type CCS systems.国内唯一自主研发的阀式连续循环钻井系统。全球少数几家掌握 HPV + PLC + Manifold 智能控制阀式连续循环系统的提供商之一。

02

Anti-Drop Valve Plate Design阀板防脱安全设计

Failure-safe valve plate design — if the plate detaches, it falls into the circulation sub interior rather than into the wellbore, eliminating downhole fishing risk.失效安全阀板设计 — 阀板若脱落,落入循环短节内部而非井筒,杜绝井下打捞风险。

03

Eliminates ECD Fluctuations消除 ECD 跳变

Continuous mud circulation through connection make-up keeps ECD steady — preventing differential sticking, lost circulation, and formation damage in narrow drilling windows.接立柱过程中持续循环维持 ECD 稳定 — 防止差压卡钻、漏失和窄密度窗口井段的储层伤害。

04

Proven ROP & Cost Benefits验证的提速与降本效益

Across field applications, FECCS has delivered an average 18% acceleration in drilling rate of penetration and around 12% reduction in per-well cost — directly improving project economics.在现场应用中,FECCS 平均提速约 18%,单井降本约 12% — 直接改善项目经济性。

Theory and field data, validating each other 理论与现场数据,彼此印证

FECCS isn't only a piece of hardware — it rests on a complete, quantitative model of equivalent circulating density. The model is built on standard well-hydraulics theory, and it has been checked against real bottom-hole measurements. The two agree to within 1%. FECCS 不只是一台设备——它背后是一套完整、可量化的当量循环密度(ECD)模型。该模型建立在标准钻井水力学理论之上,并已用真实井底实测数据校核,二者吻合度优于 1%。

After a 5–10 min connection, mud gel structure sets. Restarting the pump must break that gel — a pressure surge of ΔP = 4τ0H/(Dh−Dp). At 5 min the bottom-hole ECD jumps +0.8 ppg (3.71 MPa); at 10 min +1.0 ppg (4.45 MPa) — enough to fracture the formation and lose returns in a tight window. 停泵接单根 5–10 分钟后,泥浆静胶凝结构形成。再开泵须先破胶,产生激动压力 ΔP = 4τ0H/(Dh−Dp)。停泵 5 分钟井底 ECD 突增 +0.8 ppg(3.71 MPa),10 分钟 +1.0 ppg(4.45 MPa)——在窄窗口足以压裂地层、井漏失返。

FECCS · circulation never stopsFECCS · 循环永不停止

No gel, no surge — ECD stays flat不结胶、无激动 — ECD 始终平稳

ECD 10.3
ESD 10.1
Pore孔隙压力Drilling window钻井窗口Fracture破裂压力

By circulating continuously through every connection, FECCS never lets the gel set — so there is no break-gel surge at all. The bottom-hole ECD holds steady inside the window. This is the physics behind the field result: ECD fluctuation cut from ~17–21% to under 5%. FECCS 在每次接单根全程持续循环,泥浆从不结胶——因此根本不存在破胶激动。井底 ECD 稳稳保持在窗口内。这正是现场结果的物理本质:ECD 波动从约 17–21% 降到 5% 以下

Run the numbers on your own well用您自己的井跑一遍

Enter geometry, mud rheology and flow rate — get ECD, flow regime, cuttings loading and the connection-surge risk, computed with the same validated model.输入井身结构、泥浆流变与排量,即得 ECD、流态、岩屑加载与接单根激动风险——由上述同一套验证过的模型计算。
