Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method, apparatus, medium, and equipment for analyzing the low-carbon potential of crude oil transportation systems, belonging to the field of oil and gas extraction technology. Background Technology

[0002] For long-distance crude oil transportation systems, there are often crude oil transfer systems at the joint stations along the route. It is a multi-inlet, single-outlet system. The pumps inside and outside the joint station consume electrical energy to provide pressure energy for the crude oil to overcome friction loss and potential energy loss. The transfer pumps inside the joint station provide pressure energy for the crude oil to ensure that the oil products of this station are smoothly integrated into the system. The heating furnaces of each joint station consume fuel to provide heat energy for the crude oil to overcome heat loss along the route.

[0003] On the one hand, the crude oil extracted from most oilfields in my country has high viscosity, high pour point, and high wax content, resulting in poor fluidity. It is often transported using high-temperature heating methods. High-temperature transportation and storage lead to the volatilization of a large amount of light components, resulting in high system operating costs and carbon emissions. Lowering the crude oil transportation temperature increases pump operating costs and causes a large amount of wax precipitation, shortening the downtime of the transportation pipeline and reducing the reliability of crude oil flow. For operating units, reducing the operating costs of the transportation system is particularly important. However, the optimization problem of crude oil transportation system operation belongs to the MINLP model mathematically, which is a very complex optimization problem. Its purpose is to achieve optimal economic benefits under multiple constraints, such as strictly satisfying flow assurance, hydrothermal constraints, and flow balance.

[0004] On the other hand, for crude oil transportation systems that rely on heating along the pipeline, their lifecycle carbon emissions account for a significant proportion of carbon emissions in the oil and gas storage and transportation industry. However, due to the unique characteristics of crude oil transportation systems, their lifecycle carbon emissions have not yet been assessed, and operational optimization often sacrifices low-carbon performance to achieve economic optimality. When budgeting energy consumption for transportation systems, electricity and crude oil prices are often dynamically changing; furthermore, during oil and gas field development, new wells are frequently added, increasing the throughput of transportation pipelines. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the low-carbon potential of crude oil transportation systems to promote energy conservation and emission reduction, reduce CO2e emissions, evaluate the low-carbon potential of crude oil transportation systems, and achieve the green transformation of oilfields. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a method, apparatus, medium, and equipment for analyzing the low-carbon potential of crude oil transportation systems. This method can calculate the carbon emissions at each stage of the crude oil transportation system, determine an economical and low-carbon operation plan for the crude oil transportation system, explore the low-carbon potential of the transportation system, and promote the green and low-carbon transformation of oilfields.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0010] Based on the constraints of solid phase deposition pigging and safe shutdown, the safe transport temperature limits for each transport pipeline are determined.

[0011] Based on the principle of safe and stable operation of the crude oil transportation system, constraints including the safe transportation temperature limits of each pipeline are generated according to the basic data of the crude oil transportation system. With the operating cost and carbon emissions of the crude oil transportation system as dual objectives, an operation optimization model of the crude oil transportation system is established, and the Pareto front is generated.

[0012] Based on the operation optimization model of the crude oil transportation system, this study analyzes the sensitivity of electricity price, crude oil price, and transportation volume, calculates the operating costs and carbon emissions under different key parameters, and assesses the low-carbon potential of the crude oil transportation system.

Specifically, this includes:

[0014] Carbon emission phases include: carbon emissions during the production and construction phase, carbon emissions during the operation phase, carbon emissions during the liquidity support phase, and carbon emissions during the recycling phase;

[0015] The life-cycle environmental load assessment model for crude oil transportation systems uses the carbon emission factor method to calculate the carbon emissions at each stage of the crude oil transportation system, expressed as follows:

[0016] E = AD × EF (1)

[0017] In the formula: E is the CO2e emission; AD is the material consumption; EF is the carbon emission intensity coefficient.

[0018] The method for analyzing the low-carbon potential of the crude oil transportation system, preferably, determines the safe transportation temperature limits for each pipeline based on solid phase deposition pigging constraints and safe shutdown constraints, specifically including:

This is expressed as:

[0024] T stop (T out,stop ,t stop )≥T cp +3(4)

[0025] T st op = min(T) out,stop (5)

[0026] In the formula, T stop (T out,stop ,t stop (The value is T) is the operating outlet oil temperature. out,stop Safe shutdown time t stop The oil temperature at the pipeline outlet at that time; T cp T is the pour point of crude oil; stop Minimum operating outlet oil temperature under safe shutdown constraints;

[0027] The safe transport temperature limits for each transport pipeline are generated based on the constraints that the safe transport temperature limit of the pipeline is higher than the minimum operating outlet oil temperature under the constraint of solid phase deposition cleaning of the pipeline section, and the safe transport temperature limit of the pipeline is higher than the minimum operating outlet oil temperature under the constraint of safe shutdown of the pipeline section.

[0028] The aforementioned method for analyzing the low-carbon potential of crude oil transportation systems, preferably, takes the safe and stable operation of the crude oil transportation system as its principle. Based on the acquired basic data of the crude oil transportation system, it generates constraints including the safe transportation temperature limits of each pipeline. With the operating cost and carbon emissions of the crude oil transportation system as dual objectives, it establishes an operational optimization model for the crude oil transportation system and generates a Pareto front. Specifically, this includes:

[0029] Define the objective function, with the lowest operating cost of the crude oil transportation system as the economic objective and the lowest carbon emissions from the operation of the crude oil transportation system as the low-carbon objective.

[0034] minf eco =N p1 +N p2 +N f +N rep (6)

[0035] In the formula, f eco Operating costs for the crude oil transportation system; N p1 Operating costs for each external pump; N p2 Operating costs for each pump; N f Operating costs for each heating furnace; N rep For equipment depreciation and maintenance costs;

[0036] The carbon emissions from the crude oil transportation system are the sum of the carbon emissions from each external pump, each transfer pump, and each heating furnace, expressed as:

[0039] The aforementioned method for analyzing the low-carbon potential of crude oil transportation systems, preferably, is based on the principle of safe and stable operation of the crude oil transportation system. It generates constraints, including safe transportation temperature limits for each pipeline, based on the acquired basic data of the crude oil transportation system. Specifically, these constraints include:

[0044] The aforementioned method for analyzing the low-carbon potential of crude oil transportation systems preferably involves generating an operational optimization model of the crude oil transportation system based on an objective function and constraints including the safe transportation temperature limits of each pipeline. The model is then solved using a GUROBI optimization solver based on the branch-and-bound method to generate a Pareto front, yielding an economical low-carbon operation scheme. Specifically, this includes:

[0045] The piecewise linear method was used to linearize the crude oil viscosity-temperature relationship curve and pressure drop equation, and the MOMINLP model was converted into the MOMILP model. The Pareto front was obtained by solving the MOMILP model through the augmented ε-constraint method and the branch and bound method.

It analyzes electricity prices, crude oil prices, and the sensitivity of transportation volume, calculates operating costs and carbon emissions under different key parameters, and determines the low-carbon potential of the crude oil transportation system. Specifically, this includes:

The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," and similar terms used in this invention do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components.

Terms such as "connected" or "linked" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect.

[0080] This invention addresses the problem that crude oil extracted from most oilfields in my country has high viscosity, high pour point, high wax content, and poor fluidity, often requiring high-temperature heating for transportation. High-temperature transportation and storage lead to the volatilization of significant amounts of light components, resulting in high system operating costs and carbon emissions. This invention evaluates the carbon emissions of crude oil transportation systems at each stage from a life-cycle perspective, identifying key carbon-emitting stages; establishes a multi-constraint, nonlinear optimization model for crude oil transportation systems to seek the optimal economic and low-carbon solution, obtaining the Pareto front for decision-making by field operators; conducts sensitivity analysis on key parameters to evaluate the low-carbon potential of the transportation system; and provides a device, medium, and equipment for analyzing the low-carbon potential of crude oil transportation systems.

[0081] The technical solution of the present invention will be described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0082] Figure 1 This is a process flow diagram of a crude oil transportation system. There are 5 transportation pipelines and 6 joint stations. Currently, the heating furnaces, external pumps and transfer pumps in each joint station are all in operation. Some joint stations receive local oil transfers. The local oil is mixed with the oil from the upstream station, pressurized by pumps, heated by heating furnaces, and then transported.

[0083] The method for analyzing the low-carbon potential of crude oil transportation systems involved in this invention has the following specific process: Figure 2 As shown, the process of step 300 is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the process of step 400 is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the process of step 500 is as follows: Figure 6 The specific implementation method includes the following steps:

[0084] Step 100: Obtain basic data of the crude oil transportation system, including pipeline design data, crude oil physical property data, equipment parameters, environmental data and carbon emission coefficients, and add virtual nodes to divide the crude oil transportation system into station connection units and pipeline segment connection units.

[0085] Understandably, the pipeline design data in step 100 includes the length, inner diameter, and design pressure of each pipe segment; the crude oil physical property data includes crude oil density, heat capacity, viscosity-temperature curves, and wax precipitation characteristic curves; the equipment parameters include the maximum heating temperature of the heater, the minimum inlet pressure of the external pump, the minimum allowable inlet pressure of the storage tank, equipment purchase costs, and current equipment operating parameters; the environmental data includes the altitude along the pipeline segment, soil temperature, and overall heat transfer coefficient; and the carbon emission coefficients include CO2e emission coefficients for diesel power supply, steel pipe manufacturing, grid power supply, and crude oil power supply. A single transport pipeline is decomposed into multiple pipe segment connection units, and virtual nodes are used to represent the topology of the transport system, including virtual nodes at the inlet and outlet of each equipment and virtual nodes for each pipe segment.

[0086] Step 200: Environmental load assessment within the life cycle. Based on the life cycle characteristics of the crude oil transportation system, carbon emission stages are divided, and a life cycle environmental load assessment model for the transportation system is established.

[0087] Specifically, carbon emission stages include carbon emissions during the production and construction phase, the operation phase, the liquidity support phase, and the recycling phase. Detailed classification of carbon emission stages and the meaning of carbon emission symbols are as follows: Figure 3 As shown;

[0088] The life-cycle environmental load assessment model for crude oil transportation systems uses the carbon emission factor method to calculate the carbon emissions at each stage of the crude oil transportation system, expressed as follows:

[0089] E = AD × EF (1)

[0090] In the formula: E is the CO2e emission, kg CO2e; AD is the amount of substance consumed, per unit of substance; EF is the carbon emission intensity coefficient, kg CO2e / unit of substance.

[0091] It is understandable that the carbon emissions from construction excavation and backfilling can be expressed as:

[0096] In the formula, The proportion of soil organic carbon loss due to large-scale land use; V soil For the large-scale land use volume during pipe laying, m 3 ; Organic carbon storage in unexploited soil, kg SOC / m³ 3 ; Here, SOC is the conversion factor between SOC and CO2e, expressed as kg CO2e / kg SOC; ΔC v The reduction in the rate of soil organic carbon sequestration caused by pipeline laying, expressed in kg SOC / (m³). 3 ·a); T life For the design life of the oil transportation system, a; E 1,32 Soil erosion during the production phase, kgCO2e; E 1,321 Carbon loss from soil excavation, kgCO2e; E 1,322This refers to carbon loss caused by the weakening of soil carbon sequestration capacity, expressed as kgCO2e.

[0097] Carbon emissions from solid phase deposition pigging can be expressed as:

[0098]

[0099] In the formula, t wax To plan the wax removal cycle, a; EF wax CO2e generated during a single pigging operation, kg CO2e; E 3,1 The carbon emissions during the solid-phase deposition pigging process are expressed in kg CO2e.

[0100] Evaporation loss and leakage diffusion can be expressed as:

[0101]

[0102] In the formula, EF fe1 EF fe2 These are the CO2e emission coefficient and CH4e emission coefficient during evaporation leakage, respectively, in kgCO2e / m³. 3 oil, kg CH4e / m 3 oil; Q a,i Let m be the annual transport capacity of the i-th pipeline. 3 oil / a; E represents the global warming potential conversion factor of methane based on CO2, 21 kg CO2e / kg CH4e; 3,2 Carbon emissions from evaporation loss and leakage diffusion processes are expressed in kg CO2e.

[0103] Understandably, carbon emissions are calculated using the carbon emission factor method in all other stages.

[0104] Table 1. Carbon emissions of crude oil transportation system at different stages

[0105]

[0106] Table 1 shows the carbon emissions of the crude oil transportation system at different stages. The main energy consumption in the life cycle of the transportation system comes from the operation stage, accounting for about 76.64%. Optimizing carbon emissions during the operation stage is particularly important.

[0107] Step 300: Flow assurance analysis. Based on the constraints of solid phase deposition pigging and safe shutdown, determine the safe transport temperature limits for each transport pipeline.

[0108] Specifically, it includes the following steps:

[0109] (I) Step 301:

[0110] The volume of solid deposits in the pipeline during the on-site cleaning cycle at different operating outlet oil temperatures was calculated based on the solid phase deposition model. The solid phase deposition model is exemplified by the molecular diffusion model.

[0113] With the constraint that the volume of solid deposits in the pipeline should not exceed the volume of the receiver, the minimum operating outlet oil temperature under the solid deposit cleaning constraint for each pipeline section is determined as follows:

[0114] V wax (T out,wax ,t wax )≤V pig (2)

[0115] T wax =min(T) out,wax (3)

[0116] In the formula, V wax (T out,wax ,t wax (The value is T) is the operating outlet oil temperature. out,wax On-site cleaning cycle t wax The volume of solid deposits in the pipeline at that time, m 3 V pig For the receiver volume, m 3 ;T wax The minimum operating outlet oil temperature under solid phase deposition pigging constraints is ℃.

[0118]

[0119]

[0120] Table 2 shows the wax deposition volume of the pipeline from Joint Station 1 to Joint Station 2 at different inlet oil temperatures and during the cleaning cycle. It can be seen that the minimum operating outlet oil temperature of the pipeline from Joint Station 1 to Joint Station 2 under the constraint of solid phase deposition cleaning is 51.58℃.

[0121] (II) Step 302:

[0122] Based on the shutdown temperature drop model, the pipeline outlet oil temperature at the safe shutdown time under different operating outlet oil temperatures is calculated as follows:

[0123]

[0124] In the formula, T stop (T out,stop ,t stop (The value is T) is the operating outlet oil temperature. out,stop Safe shutdown time t stop Pipeline outlet oil temperature at time, °C; T G is the ambient temperature, in °C; b is a coefficient related to the pipe's specific heat capacity, inner diameter, outer diameter, specific heat capacity, and density.

[0125] With the constraint that the pipeline outlet oil temperature at the safe shutdown time should not be less than 3°C of the crude oil's pour point, the minimum operating outlet oil temperature for each pipeline section under the safe shutdown constraint is determined as follows:

[0126] T stop (T out,stop ,t stop )≥T cp +3 (4)

[0127] T stop =min(T) out,stop (5)

[0128] In the formula, T cp T is the pour point of crude oil, in °C; stop The minimum operating outlet oil temperature under safe shutdown constraints is ℃.

[0129] Table 3. Outlet oil temperature of pipelines from Joint Station 1 to Joint Station 2 at different inlet oil temperatures and safe shutdown times.

[0130]

[0131] Table 3 shows the outlet oil temperature of the pipeline from Joint Station 1 to Joint Station 2 under different inlet oil temperatures and safe shutdown times. It can be seen that the minimum operating outlet oil temperature of the pipeline from Joint Station 1 to Joint Station 2 under the safe shutdown constraint is 48.43℃.

[0132] (III) Step 303:

[0133] The safe transport temperature limits for each pipeline are determined by two constraints: the safe transport temperature limit for the pipeline is higher than the minimum operating outlet oil temperature under the constraint of solid phase deposition pigging in the pipeline section, and the safe transport temperature limit for the pipeline is higher than the minimum operating outlet oil temperature under the constraint of safe shutdown in the pipeline section. Therefore, the safe transport temperature limit for the pipelines from Joint Station 1 to Joint Station 2 is 51.58℃. The safe transport temperature limits for each pipeline are shown in Table 4.

[0135] Safe transport temperature limits, °C Joint Station 1 - Joint Station 2 51.58 Joint Station 2 - Joint Station 3 48.45 Joint Station 3 - Joint Station 4 48.64 Joint Station 4 - Joint Station 5 48.01 Joint Station 5 - Joint Station 6 46.74

[0136] (iv) Step 400:

[0137] The optimization of crude oil transportation system operation is based on the principle of safe and stable operation of the crude oil transportation system. Constraints, including the safe transportation temperature limits of each pipeline, are generated based on the basic data of the crude oil transportation system. With economy and low carbon as the dual objectives, an operation optimization model of crude oil transportation system is established, and a Pareto front is generated. Decision-makers can select the operation scheme corresponding to the Pareto point that meets the management requirements from the Pareto front.

[0138] The Pareto front refers to the following: Given two objective functions, if for solution A, no other solution in the variable space is superior to solution A (note that "superior" here means that both objective function values ​​are superior to the corresponding function values ​​of A), then solution A is the Pareto optimal solution, and the set of Pareto optimal solutions is called the Pareto front. The Pareto front of this problem is... Figure 7 Points a, b, c, and d in the diagram.

[0139] Specifically, it includes the following steps:

[0140] Step 401: Define the objective function, with the lowest operating cost of the crude oil transportation system as the economic objective and the lowest carbon emissions from the operation of the crude oil transportation system as the low-carbon objective.

[0141] The operating cost of the crude oil transportation system is the sum of the operating costs of each external pump, each transfer pump, each heater, and the depreciation and maintenance costs of each piece of equipment, expressed as:

For 0-1 decision variables, if the node When the heating station in the intermediate station connection unit is turned on, the value is 1; otherwise, it is 0.

[0152] The carbon emissions from the crude oil transportation system are the sum of the carbon emissions from each external pump, each transfer pump, and each heating furnace, expressed as:

[0153]

[0154] In the formula, f car Carbon emissions from the operation of the transport system, kg CO2e; EF ele CO2e emission factor for power grid supply, kgCO2e / (kW·h); EF oil CO2e emission factor for crude oil energy supply, kg CO2e / J.

[0155] Step 402: Based on the principle of safe and stable operation of the crude oil transportation system, generate the constraints of the crude oil transportation system operation optimization model according to the basic data of the crude oil transportation system obtained.

[0156] The constraints include: flow assurance constraints, flow balance constraints, hydraulic constraints, thermal constraints, boundary constraints, and piecewise linearization constraints;

[0157] (1) The flow protection constraint is that the oil temperature at the outlet of the pipeline is not lower than the safe delivery temperature limit of the pipeline:

[0158]

[0159] In the formula, T lim,i , ℃, represents the safe transport temperature limit of the pipeline where node i is located.

[0160] (2) The flow balance constraint is that the outflow from a node is equal to the sum of the inflow from other nodes and the plugged-in flow:

Equations (24) and (25) are used to ensure that the pressure difference between the pipe section connection units between nodes i and j is equal to the sum of the friction loss along the pipe and the gravitational potential energy loss. These are the inlet and outlet node sets for the pipe segment connection unit, respectively.

Equations (26) and (27) ensure that if the internal and external pumps of the station connection unit between nodes i and j are started, then the pressure difference between nodes i and j is equal to the boost pressure value of the external pump.

[0176] Equations (28) and (29) ensure that if the pressure of the station connection unit between nodes i and j exceeds that of the station, then the pressure of nodes i and j is equal.

[0177] (4) Thermal confinement:

[0178] ① Thermal constraints on pipe connection units:

[0179] The diameter, length, and other parameters of different pipe segment connection units may vary; μ is defined. i,j e represents the pipe segment connection unit -αL :

[0180]

[0181]

[0182] Equations (30) and (31) ensure that the temperature drop of the pipe segment connection unit between nodes i and j satisfies the Sukhov formula.

[0183] ② Start-up constraints of the heating furnace within the station connection unit:

[0184] When the joint station along the line is built together with the intermediate station, the produced fluid from the oil wells along the line is processed by the joint station and then directly injected into the transportation system. The injected oil mixes with the oil coming from the upstream station, causing the oil temperature to change.

[0185]

[0186]

[0187]

[0188]

[0189] In the formula, The temperature change of oil caused by oil transfer is measured in °C; T. i in For nodes Oil delivery temperature, °C; ΔT i,j Let be the temperature rise value of the heating furnace in the station connection unit between nodes i and j, in °C. Equations (32) and (33) are used to calculate the temperature change caused by oil injection at intermediate stations, in °C; Equations (34) and (35) ensure that if the heating furnace in the station connection unit between nodes i and j is turned on, the temperature change of nodes i and j consists of two parts: the oil temperature change caused by oil injection and the heating furnace temperature rise value.

[0190] ③ Thermal bypass constraint of station connection unit:

[0191]

[0192]

[0193] Equations (36) and (37) ensure that if the station connection unit between nodes i and j achieves thermal bypass, the temperature change of nodes i and j is equal to the oil temperature change caused by the oil transfer.

[0194] (4) Boundary constraints:

[0195] ① Temperature boundary constraints:

[0196]

[0197]

[0198] In the formula, T o The known fundamental node temperature; OT i It is a 0-1 variable. If the temperature of node i is known, the value is 1, otherwise it is 0.

[0199] node The temperature is below the upper limit temperature of the heating furnace, that is:

[0200]

[0201] In the formula, T max This represents the upper limit temperature of the heating furnace, in °C.

[0202] ② Pressure boundary constraints:

[0203]

[0204]

[0205] In the formula, P o Given the known basic node pressures; OP i It is a 0-1 variable. If the pressure at node i is known, the value is 1, otherwise it is 0.

[0206] The pressure at node i ∈ I satisfies the upper and lower pressure limits of the conveying system, that is:

[0207]

[0208] In the formula, P min P max These represent the upper and lower pressure limits of the conveying system, in Pa.

[0209] Step 403:

[0210] Based on the objective function and the constraints of the crude oil transportation system operation optimization model, an operation optimization model for the transportation system is generated. The model is then solved using a GUROBI optimization solver based on the branch and bound method, generating a Pareto front and obtaining an economical and low-carbon operation scheme.

[0211] Among them, the piecewise linear method was used to linearize the crude oil viscosity-temperature relationship curve and pressure drop equation, and the MOMINLP model was converted into the MOMILP model.

[0212] Linearization constraints:

[0213]

[0214]

[0215]

[0216]

[0217]

[0218]

[0219]

[0220]

[0221]

[0222]

[0223] In the formula, Q Ai,j v represents the characteristic flow rate value of the pipe segment connection unit between nodes i and j in the pipeline characteristic equation; Ai K represents the characteristic viscosity value of node i in the viscosity-temperature curve. T K Q These are sets of temperature range and flow rate range numbers, respectively; T max,k T min,k Let k be the upper and lower limits of the temperature range, in °C; Q max,k Q min,k Let m be the upper and lower limits of the flow range k. 3 / s; for The corresponding flow range has a flow rate of 1.75 to the power of 1. for The viscosity of the corresponding temperature range is 0.25. The decision variable is 0-1. If the crude oil temperature at node i is within the temperature range k, then it is 1; otherwise, it is 0. It is a 0-1 decision variable. If the flow rate of the pipe segment connection unit between nodes i and j is within the flow rate interval k, it is 1; otherwise, it is 0.

[0224] Equations (44) and (45) are the linearized pipe section pressure drop equations, which can be used to calculate the pressure drop of the pipe section connection unit between nodes i and j; Equations (46) and (47) determine that the temperature of node i is in the temperature range k; Equation (48) indicates that the temperature of node i can only be in one temperature range; Equation (49) determines the characteristic viscosity value of node i; Equations (50) and (51) determine the flow range k of the pipe section connection unit between nodes i and j; Equation (52) indicates that the flow of the pipe section connection unit between nodes i and j can only be in one flow range; Equation (53) determines the characteristic flow value of the pipe section connection unit between nodes i and j.

[0225] The Pareto front was obtained by solving the MOMILP model using the augmented ε-constraint method and the branch-and-bound method. Table 5 shows the operating cost and carbon emissions of the transport system at each front point. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the Pareto front under dual objectives. Figure 8 The system hydrothermal distribution diagram at the frontier points of a (economic goal) and d (low-carbon goal).

[0226] Table 5. Operating costs and carbon emissions of the front-end point conveying system

[0227]

[0228] According to the Pareto frontier results, operating carbon emissions can be reduced by up to 24.5%, and operating costs by up to 30%. When economically optimal, [the following data is presented:] ... Figure 8 (a) It can be seen that joint stations 2 and 5 achieve pressure bypassing, reducing the difficulty of operation and management of the conveying system; Figure 8 (b) It can be seen that the operating temperature of the optimized scheme is significantly reduced. It is worth noting that the heating furnace in Joint Station 2 is in a closed state, achieving thermal bypass. The sudden temperature increase at Joint Station 2 is due to the large oil throughput and high temperature at this station, which provides a large amount of heat energy to the transportation system, causing the oil temperature to increase from 53.10℃ to 60.33℃. The carbon emissions of the low-carbon optimal scheme are not significantly different from those of the economic optimal scheme, decreasing by only 0.41%, but the operating costs increase by 2.2%.

[0229] Step 500:

[0230] Low-carbon potential analysis is based on the operation optimization model of crude oil transportation system. It analyzes the sensitivity of electricity price, crude oil price, and transportation volume, calculates the operating costs and carbon emissions under different key parameters, and judges the low-carbon potential of crude oil transportation system.

[0231] Specifically, it includes the following steps:

[0232] Step 501: Based on the crude oil transportation system operation optimization model, with the minimum transportation system operating cost as the objective function, analyze the sensitivity of electricity price and crude oil price, give the optimization results under variable electricity price and variable crude oil price, and judge the low carbon potential of the transportation system.

[0233] Figure 9 The graph shows the results of the electricity price sensitivity analysis. As the electricity price increases, the operating costs of the transfer pump / external transfer pump and the transportation system increase in an approximately linear manner, while other indicators remain stable. The bypass scheme has not changed, and the electricity price has little impact on the formulation of the operation plan. In terms of electricity price, this crude oil transportation system has no low-carbon potential. Figure 10 The graph shows the results of the crude oil price sensitivity analysis. As crude oil prices increase, the operating costs of the transportation system increase linearly. The carbon emissions from operation at a crude oil price of $110 / barrel are 5.2% lower than those at $21 / barrel. This crude oil transportation system has certain low-carbon potential in response to crude oil prices.

[0234] Step 502: Define the unit transmission capacity operating cost and unit transmission capacity carbon emissions, expressed as follows:

[0235]

[0236]

[0237] In the formula, Q change This is the coefficient for the change in output. Operating cost per unit of throughput, CNY; Carbon emissions per unit of transport volume, expressed as kg CO2e.

[0238] Step 503: Based on the crude oil transportation system operation optimization model, with the minimum transportation system operating cost as the objective function, analyze the throughput sensitivity, give the optimization results under variable throughput, and judge the low-carbon potential of the transportation system.

[0239] Figure 11 The graph shows the results of the throughput sensitivity analysis. As the throughput increases, the rate of decrease in operating cost per unit throughput gradually decreases, and the carbon emissions per unit throughput exhibit a concave shape. The carbon emissions per unit throughput are the lowest at 1.18 times the throughput, and the optimal throughput is 1.18 times the throughput. In terms of throughput, this conveying system has high low-carbon potential.
