Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of petrochemical industry, and in particular to a device and method for simulating and testing the heating performance of an electric heating belt for a submarine pipeline. Background Art
[0002] Nowadays, the demand for oil and gas is increasing, and conventional oil and gas resources are becoming increasingly depleted. Unconventional heavy oil resources have become the focus of attention. Offshore heavy oil resources are abundant, but there is a problem of difficulty in offshore heavy oil transportation. In order to cope with the difficulties of offshore extra-heavy oil and high-condensate oil transportation, prevent wax deposition, hydrate formation, and reduce flow safety risks, it is necessary to study heat tracing technology to increase and control the temperature of submarine pipelines.
[0003] The underwater crude oil pipeline wax blockage electric heating removal simulation device disclosed in the prior art includes a wax oil preparation and loading and unloading system, a direct electric heating system and a measurement system. The heating power supply is directly connected to the test pipe section to form a current loop, and a number of sensors for collecting information are installed on the test pipe section. Direct current is passed into the wax-blocked pipeline, and the underwater waxy crude oil pipeline is heated and unblocked by direct electric heating. The key data is recorded in real time by a combination of sensors, which can simulate the unblocking process and the pipeline shutdown and temperature drop process. However, since direct electric heating directly passes alternating current on the pipe wall, there is a risk of AC corrosion, which requires special design of anti-corrosion and regular inspection and maintenance.
[0004] Compared with direct electric heating technology, electric heating tape heating technology is more efficient, safer and more stable, and can achieve long-term stable operation. It is more suitable for the transportation of offshore oil and gas logistics and is a more effective solution. Since pipelines on the seabed face problems such as lower temperatures than on land and greater water pressure, the need to use electric heating tapes to heat submarine pipelines is more urgent and the relevant requirements are more stringent. However, in the field of petrochemicals, medium and long-distance electric heating tape heating pipelines are mostly used on land, and there are no cases of electric heating tape heating pipelines being used on the seabed, and there are no corresponding test devices and technologies to simulate and test the heating performance of submarine pipeline electric heating tapes, which cannot provide strong support for the application of electric heating tape heating technology on submarine pipelines.
