TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a solar steam production process, in particular to a solar steam production system for assisting heavy oil thermal recovery. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the continuous development of the economic society, the demand for energy of human beings is rapidly increasing. According to the World Energy Statistics Yearbook published by the British Petroleum Company, the global primary energy consumption in 2019 reached 583.9x1018J, of which the oil consumption accounted for the highest proportion, reaching 33.1%. However, the current shortage of oil resources has affected the rapid development of the economic society. As an important oil resource, heavy oil accounts for a large proportion in the total world oil reserves, and the green and efficient exploitation of heavy oil is of great significance to the healthy and rapid development of the oil industry.
[0003] Due to the characteristics of high density and viscosity, heavy oil brings great difficulties to its exploitation, gathering and processing. Thermal oil recovery technology uses heat to increase the temperature of the oil layer, reduce the viscosity of heavy oil, and thus improve the flowability of heavy oil, which is considered as one of the advanced enhanced oil recovery technologies and has been widely used in the global oil industry. The main methods of heavy oil thermal recovery include steam huff and puff, steam flooding, fire-flood, hot water flooding, etc. Steam huff and puff generally needs to continuously inject steam into the oil layer for several days to several tens of days, and then shut down for 2-3 days to allow the heat to diffuse in the oil layer, so that the steam condenses, and then the well is opened for production. Due to its relative simplicity, steam huff and puff has the advantages of simple construction and strong practicability, and has become the main heavy oil recovery technology. However, due to the limited heating radius, the recovery rate of steam huff and puff is limited, generally at 15-20%. Steam flooding refers to continuously injecting steam into the oil layer to heat the oil layer with high-temperature steam, thereby improving the flowability of heavy oil and driving heavy oil to the production well for recovery. Steam flooding is a necessary stage for further improving the recovery rate of heavy oil reservoirs after steam huff and puff. Due to its continuous provision of heat to the formation, the steam consumption is much larger than that in the steam huff and puff stage, but it can increase the recovery rate by 20%-30%. Steam huff and puff and steam flooding are the two most widely used heavy oil thermal recovery schemes at present.
[0004] The ratio of the oil produced to the steam injected during the heavy oil development process is called the steam-oil ratio, and the average steam-oil ratio during the entire heavy oil production process is generally between 0.3 and 0.5, and the steam demand is large, and the cost of steam production accounts for 45% to 60% of the cost of crude oil production. The traditional steam generator produces heat by burning fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas, and uses a boiler to heat the water to produce steam that meets the requirements. Therefore, oil fields have the dual identity of being both a large energy producer and a large energy consumer, and the energy consumption of oil field heating furnaces accounts for about 70% of the total energy consumption of oil fields. Using traditional steam generation methods to produce heavy oil wastes valuable non-renewable resources and emits pollutants. Therefore, it is urgent to find a clean and efficient renewable energy source to assist or even replace traditional steam injection boilers for producing steam for heavy oil thermal recovery.
[0005] Solar energy is an inexhaustible renewable energy source, and has the characteristics of being clean and renewable, and widely distributed. Its large-scale application can reduce dependence on fossil fuels and effectively reduce pollutant emissions. China has abundant solar energy resources, and more than 2 / 3 of the country's annual sunshine hours are more than 2000h, and the annual solar radiation of various regions is about 930-2330kW·h / m2, and the average solar radiation distribution is high in the west and low in the east. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, northern Gansu, northern Ningxia and other regions have abundant solar energy resources, with annual sunshine hours exceeding 3000 hours. Most of China's heavy oil resources are stored in areas with available solar energy resources, and most oil fields are located in sparsely populated flat areas, providing good conditions for the application of solar energy to heavy oil production.
[0006] Due to the low energy density of solar energy, solar energy needs to be concentrated for use to obtain high-temperature heat energy, and this process requires the use of a concentrating solar collector. The solar energy concentrating system mainly includes movable mirrors and solar tracking devices, and can be divided into parabolic trough, linear Fresnel, tower and dish types according to the type of concentration. The first two types use linear concentration, and the last two types use point concentration. Among them, the application range of the trough type solar collector is the most widely used. The successful application of solar energy in the field of thermal power generation shows that it is fully feasible to produce steam that meets the thermal recovery parameters. Using solar energy to produce water vapor for heavy oil thermal recovery can reduce the consumption of fossil fuels, reduce the energy consumption and pollutant emissions of the heavy oil production process, and is of great significance for energy saving and emission reduction, and finds a new breakthrough point for the green and healthy development of the oil industry.
[0007] Therefore, the application of solar energy to produce heavy oil thermal recovery water vapor has good development prospects, but due to the inherent discontinuity and instability of solar energy, how to use solar energy for long-term and stable heavy oil thermal recovery has become a major problem.

[0042] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Specific implementation examples:
[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, a solar steam production system for assisting heavy oil thermal recovery includes a solar thermal collector subsystem, a steam production subsystem, a thermal storage and combustion supplementary system, and an operation control subsystem. The steam production subsystem receives solar thermal energy collected by the solar thermal collector subsystem. Under the regulation of the operation control subsystem, the thermal storage and combustion supplementary system will be activated in a timely manner according to the changes in direct solar radiation.
[0045] The solar thermal collector subsystem includes a non-concentrating solar collector 2, a linear concentrating solar collector mirror field 10, and a heat transfer medium circulation pump 9. The non-concentrating solar collector 2 directly absorbs solar radiation to heat the feed water. The feed water preheated by the non-concentrating solar collector 2 then exchanges heat with the high-temperature heat transfer medium produced by the linear concentrating solar collector mirror field to produce steam.
[0046] Steam production subsystem: including water softening device 1, water pump 3, steam generator 4 and steam superheater 5, water flow after softening treatment through water softening device 1 into non-concentrating solar collector 2 preheating, and then directly into water pump 3, water pump 3 will be according to the injection of steam parameters demand to raise the water pressure, then through steam generator 4 and steam superheater 5 in turn, will fully absorb the heat of high temperature heat conducting medium provided by linear concentrating solar collector field 10, and finally the water flow is heated into high temperature water steam meeting the parameter requirements. In the process of steam production, the operation control system will optimize the heat transfer process of heat conducting medium according to the solar radiation and heat storage conditions, and control the water parameters through water pump 3 to ensure the steam production effect.
[0047] Heat storage and combustion supplement subsystem: including heat storage and release heat exchanger 8, high temperature heat storage tank 6, low temperature heat storage tank 7 and combustion supplement boiler 11. When the solar radiation is sufficient, the heat conducting medium heated by linear concentrating solar collector field 10 first meets the heat energy demand of water steam production, through control valves a and b, directly enters steam generator 4 and steam superheater 5 for heat exchange, the excess heat passes through high temperature heat storage tank 6, part of the heat conducting medium enters heat storage and release heat exchanger 8 through control valves a and b, the heat storage medium from low temperature heat storage tank 7 absorbs heat in it and then enters high temperature heat storage tank 6 to realize heat storage, and combustion supplement boiler 11 starts when the solar radiation intensity is insufficient or there is no solar radiation to ensure stable and reliable steam production.
[0048] Operation control subsystem: contains operation parameter sensing detection, calculation control unit and system operation adjustment execution action device, and can control valve a, valve b, valve c, valve d, valve e, valve f, valve g, valve h, valve i, valve k, heat conducting medium circulating pump 9, water pump 3 and crude oil gathering pump 15, and adjust the system operation mode according to the steam injection parameter demand of steam injection device 12 and the change of solar energy.
[0049] Further, in the solar heat collection subsystem, according to the solar radiation intensity, adjust valves i and h, when there is solar radiation, the water flow is preheated by non-concentrating solar collector 2 after preheating, then heated by the outlet heat conducting medium of linear concentrating solar collector field 10 with relatively high concentration to produce steam, so that the solar heat energy is utilized in stages and the irreversible loss is reduced.
[0050] Further, in the solar heat collection subsystem, according to the solar radiation intensity, adjust the operation parameters of heat conducting medium circulating pump 9 to control the flow velocity and outlet pressure of heat conducting medium in vacuum heat collecting tube, reduce the heat collecting loss and ensure the heat collecting effect.
[0051] Further, the heat-conducting medium can be selected from heat-conducting oil, low-melting-point molten salt, or water / steam directly used in a direct expansion mode.
[0052] Further, in the steam production subsystem, during the steam production process, the operation control subsystem optimizes the heat transfer process of the heat-conducting medium according to the solar radiation and heat storage conditions, and controls the feed water parameters through the feed water pump 3 to ensure the steam production effect.
[0053] Further, the heat storage combustion supplement subsystem is configured with a heat storage device.
[0054] During heat storage, the heat-conducting medium at the outlet of the linearly concentrated solar collector field 10 enters the heat storage / heat release heat exchanger 8 and transfers heat to the heat storage medium in the low-temperature heat storage tank 7. The heated heat storage medium enters the high-temperature heat storage tank 6 to store heat energy.
[0055] During heat release, the heat storage process is operated in reverse. The heat storage medium from the high-temperature heat storage tank 6 heats the heat-conducting medium in the heat storage / heat release heat exchanger 8. The heat-conducting medium circulates in the loop to produce water vapor.
[0056] Further, the heat storage medium can be selected from heat-conducting oil or molten salt. According to the differences between the heat-conducting medium and the heat storage medium, the system flow path circulation is adjusted appropriately.
[0057] Further, in the heat storage combustion supplement subsystem, when the solar radiation is sufficient, the feed water flow is fully preheated, and the combustion supplement boiler 11 is in a hot backup state. Through the control of the valve f and the valve e, the high-temperature heat-conducting medium at the outlet of the linearly concentrated solar collector field 10 is used to supply heat energy to the steam generator 4 and the steam superheater 5 to produce high-temperature steam.
[0058] Further, the heat storage combustion supplement subsystem is configured with the combustion supplement boiler 11 as a system operation guarantee device. The fuel that can be used includes natural gas, diesel, and coal. It can also be adjusted to an electrically driven boiler according to the actual needs of the territory.
[0059] A solar steam production system for assisting thick oil thermal recovery, characterized in that the control of the flow rate and outlet pressure of the heat-conducting medium in the evacuated collector tube is as follows:
[0060] A, when the solar radiation is sufficient, the feed water flow is fully preheated, and the combustion supplement boiler 11 is in a hot backup state. Through the control of the valve f and the valve e, the preheated feed water directly produces high-temperature steam through the steam generator 4 and the steam superheater 5, fully utilizes the high-temperature heat energy generated by the linearly concentrated solar collector field 10, and according to the temperature and flow rate of the heat-conducting medium at the outlet of the linearly concentrated solar collector field 10, combines the steam parameters of the thermal recovery and the feed water temperature at the outlet of the non-concentrating solar collector 2 to obtain the required flow rate of the heat-conducting medium for heating the feed water flow, and controls the flow rate of the feed water flow through the feed water pump 3.
[0061] B. When the solar radiation intensity is low, it is difficult for the solar heat collection to meet the steam production. The heat-conducting medium continues to heat the feedwater flow in the steam generator 4, and then continues to heat in the supplementary combustion boiler 11. According to the outlet temperature and flow of the heat-conducting medium of the linear concentrating solar collector field 10, combined with the steam parameters and the outlet feedwater temperature of the non-concentrating solar collector 2, the flow of the heat-conducting medium heating the feedwater flow is obtained. The feedwater flow is heated by the heat-conducting medium in the steam generator 4, and then enters the supplementary combustion boiler 11 through valves c and d. The supplementary combustion boiler 11 controls the supply of fuel and air according to the steam parameters and the feedwater flow parameters at the outlet of the steam generator 4, to produce high-temperature steam that meets the requirements of the steam injection parameters.
[0062] C. When there is no solar radiation, the linear concentrating solar collector field 10 stops working. The flow of the feedwater flow is determined according to the heat storage capacity and the steam injection demand. The feedwater flow does not need to be preheated and avoids the non-concentrating solar collector 2 through valve k. In the heat storage / heat release heat exchanger 8, the heat storage medium is used to heat the heat-conducting medium. The feedwater and the heat-conducting medium exchange heat in the steam generator 4 to raise the temperature of the feedwater to a certain extent. Then the feedwater enters the supplementary combustion boiler 11 through valves c and d to absorb the heat of the high-temperature flue gas, avoiding the large temperature difference in heat exchange when the supplementary combustion boiler 11 directly heats the low-temperature feedwater flow, which causes a loss of heating capacity of the supplementary combustion boiler 11.
[0063] According to the oil well parameters and geological conditions, the best steam injection parameters are obtained. By controlling the flow and pressure of the feedwater pump 3, the steam parameters produced are controlled, and the valve assembly is adjusted in combination with the operation control subsystem to optimize the matching of solar energy and the heat energy of the supplementary combustion boiler 11, and to produce steam that meets the requirements of the steam injection parameters.
[0064] The feedwater flow heated by the non-concentrating solar collector 2 can be used to heat crude oil to ensure the normal collection and transportation of crude oil, and can also be used for hot water for daily use in oil production fields.
[0065] In summary:
[0066] Using clean and renewable solar energy to replace traditional fossil fuels to produce steam for steam injection meets the development trend of energy transformation, and at the same time achieves the purpose of saving fossil energy and reducing pollutant emissions.
[0067] Through the optimized complementary cooperation of non-concentrating / concentrating solar energy, boilers and heat storage, the discontinuous and unstable shortcomings of solar energy are overcome, and continuous and stable operation of the solar steam production system can be realized.
[0068] The method of heating low-temperature feedwater by the non-concentrating solar collector 2 and further heating to produce steam by the single-axis tracking solar energy fully utilizes the grade attributes of different heat sources, realizes the "temperature matching and cascade utilization" of energy, reduces the irreversible loss, and improves the overall energy utilization efficiency of the system.
[0069] The embodiments of the present application are described above in detail. However, the present application is not limited to the above embodiments but various changes which can be conceived by those having ordinary knowledge in the art to which the present application pertains can be made without departing from the scope of the present application.
