State Prediction Method for Deepwater Drilling Riser System Based on Limited Monitoring Data
Deepwater drilling riser system is a critical component for offshore oil and gas drilling, and its dynamic response characteristics are directly related to the overall safety of drilling operations. However, due to the complex and variable deep-sea environment and limited monitoring data, real-time and accurate prediction of the system's full-state dynamic responses is highly chal
lenging. This paper proposes a real-time state prediction method for the dynamic response of deepwater drilling riser system based on limited monitoring data. This method uses the monitoring data of the upper flexible joint rotation angle and the platform heave, surge, and sway motions, to predict the system's dynamic response state. The dynamic response analysis of the fully-coupled deepwater drilling riser system was conducted depending on designed sea conditions. Based on the time-series data obtained from the analysis, the gated recurrent unit (GRU) neural network optimized by the ant colony algorithm was employed to establish the system state prediction model. Finally, the prediction model was validated. The results show that the proposed model achieves accurate prediction, with the coefficient of determination (

) exceeding 0.97, indicating high accuracy and stability, and that GRU can be used to predict the dynamic response states of deepwater drilling riser systems. The study provides a theoretical basis and technical support for real-time prediction of deepwater drilling riser system's dynamic response state.
