Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a gas recovery device, specifically a gas recovery device for the comprehensive treatment of associated gas in oil fields. Background Technology

[0002] A large amount of associated gas is generated during oil exploration and extraction. However, associated gas contains more impurities such as hydrogen sulfide than natural gas and cannot be used directly. Furthermore, due to its small quantity and dispersed nature, it is not conducive to continuous use. If it is not recovered, it will result in a large amount of energy waste. Therefore, associated gas recovery devices are often built at exploration sites.

[0003] However, existing gas recovery devices typically employ two desulfurization towers connected in series for deep desulfurization. While this method offers good desulfurization efficiency, it struggles to handle large gas flows in a timely manner, leading to sudden pressure increases and potential damage. A key challenge in desulfurization is how to flexibly switch and adjust the pressure as needed. Therefore, those skilled in the art have developed a gas recovery device for the comprehensive treatment of associated gas in oil fields to address the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0060] The second sewage pipe network 7 is connected to the dehydrogenation unit and is used to discharge the sewage generated by the dehydrogenation unit into the external sewage pipe network.

[0061] In this embodiment: the first sewage pipe network 6 specifically includes: a first sewage shut-off valve 601 and a first electric valve 602. The bottom output end of the first dehydration tank 1 is connected to the first sewage shut-off valve 601 and the first electric valve 602. The first sewage shut-off valve 601 is used for manual sewage discharge, and the first electric valve 602 is used for automatic sewage discharge.

The first sewage discharge network 6 has two treatment methods for the sewage discharged from the first dehydration tank 1. One is the automatic sewage discharge method. In this method, the sewage flows through the first electric valve 602, is compressed by the motor compressor 603, and is discharged into the external sewage network through the first one-way valve 604. In addition, when the first electric valve 602 is under too much pressure, the second sewage shut-off valve 605 can be opened to reduce the pressure through dual-channel sewage discharge.

A fifth sewage shut-off valve 704 is connected in parallel to both ends of the second electric valve 702. The second sewage discharge network 7 has two treatment methods for the sewage discharged from the second dewatering tank 3. One is the automatic sewage discharge method. In this method, the sewage flows through the second electric valve 702 and is discharged into the motor compressor 603 through the second one-way valve 703. After being compressed by the motor compressor 603, it is discharged into the external sewage network through the first one-way valve 604. In addition, when the pressure on the second electric valve 702 is too high, the fifth sewage discharge shut-off valve 704 can be opened to reduce the pressure through dual-channel sewage discharge. The other is the manual sewage discharge method, which is to open the fourth sewage discharge shut-off valve 701 to directly discharge the sewage. This sewage discharge method is suitable for use when the automatic sewage discharge method fails.

[0065] In this embodiment: gate valves are connected to both ends of the second electric valve 702, which can effectively balance the input and output pressure of the second electric valve 702, and a shut-off valve is connected between the output end of the second electric valve 702 and the corresponding gate valve, which can release pressure when the pressure is too high.

[0066] In this embodiment, a flame arrester 13 is provided on the pipe connecting the tank body and the first dehydration tank 1 to prevent the spread of flames.

[0067] In this embodiment, a gas shut-off valve 9 is connected between the flame arrester 13 and the first dehydration tank 1 to control the flow of flammable gas between the flammable gas and the first dehydration tank 1.

[0068] In this embodiment, a third check valve 10 is provided on the pipeline connecting the compression mechanism 5 to the external recovery pipeline network to prevent crude oil backflow.

[0069] In this embodiment: a safety valve 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the first dehydration tank 1, and a pressure measuring instrument 11 communicating with the interior of the first dehydration tank 1 is connected to the outside of the first dehydration tank 1.

[0070] In this embodiment, the gas recovery device for comprehensive treatment of associated gas in oil fields also includes a controller for controlling the operating status of the entire gas recovery device.

[0071] The working principle of this invention is as follows: During use, associated gas from the oilfield is transported to the first dehydration tank 1 for dehydration. The dehydrated associated gas then enters the adjustable desulfurization mechanism 8 for desulfurization. During the desulfurization process, a suitable desulfurization method is selected according to the flow rate of the associated gas. When the flow rate is large, the first desulfurization tower 801 and the second desulfurization tower 802 are connected in parallel through adjustable valves. Specifically, valves 803, 804, 807, and 808 are opened, while valves 805 and 806 are closed. At this time, the first desulfurization tower 801 and the second desulfurization tower... Simultaneously, desulfurization is carried out in tower 802 to accelerate the desulfurization process. When the flow rate is low, the first desulfurization tower 801 and the second desulfurization tower 802 are connected in parallel via adjustable valves. Specifically, valves 803, 805, and 808 are open, while valves 804, 806, and 807 are closed; or, valves 803, 805, and 808 are closed, while valves 804, 806, and 807 are open. In this case, the associated gas from the oilfield needs to enter the two desulfurization towers sequentially for two desulfurization processes to improve the desulfurization effect. Subsequently, the desulfurized associated gas from the oilfield is transported to the hydrocarbon removal mechanism for hydrocarbon removal, removing hydrocarbons to form purified natural gas. The natural gas is then transported to the compression mechanism 5, which compresses and cools the natural gas to form liquefied natural gas. The liquefied natural gas is then transported through pipelines to the external recovery network. In addition, the gas recovery device used for the comprehensive treatment of associated gas in oil fields operates when the internal pressure of the tank reaches the threshold (1700pa), extracting and recovering flammable gas to effectively prevent damage caused by excessive tank pressure; when the internal pressure of the tank is detected to drop to the threshold (300pa), the solenoid valve 14 opens to return the natural gas that was originally delivered to the external recovery pipeline to the tank, preventing damage caused by negative pressure in the tank.

[0072] It should be noted that during the associated gas recovery process in the oilfield, a large amount of wastewater is generated due to dehydration. The first sewage discharge network 6 has two treatment methods for the wastewater (including liquid hydrocarbons) discharged from the first dehydration tank 1. One is the automatic sewage discharge method. In this method, the wastewater flows through the first electric valve 602, is compressed by the motor compressor 603, and is discharged into the external sewage network through the first one-way valve 604. In addition, when the first electric valve 602 is under too much pressure, the second sewage shut-off valve 605 can be opened to reduce the pressure through dual-channel sewage discharge. When the motor compressor 603 is under too much pressure, the third sewage shut-off valve 606 can be opened to relieve the pressure. The other is the manual sewage discharge method, which is to open the first sewage shut-off valve 601 to directly discharge the wastewater. This sewage discharge method is suitable for use when the automatic sewage discharge method fails. Similarly, the second sewage network 7 also has two treatment methods for the sewage (i.e., water and liquid hydrocarbons) discharged from the second dehydration tank 3. One is the automatic sewage discharge method, in which the sewage flows through the second electric valve 702, is discharged into the motor compressor 603 through the second one-way valve 703, and after being compressed by the motor compressor 603, is discharged into the external sewage network through the first one-way valve 604. In addition, when the pressure on the second electric valve 702 is too high, the fifth sewage shut-off valve 704 can be opened to reduce the pressure through dual-channel sewage discharge. The other is the manual sewage discharge method, that is, the fourth sewage shut-off valve 701 is opened to directly discharge the sewage. This sewage discharge method is suitable for use when the automatic sewage discharge method fails.
