Second, the gas separated by the primary separator goes to the fuel gas system, the separated water enters the production water treatment system, and the separated water-containing crude oil enters a secondary crude oil heater, where it is heated to the operating temperature required by the secondary separator before entering the secondary separation process. The gas is further dehydrated in the secondary separator; then, the gas separated by the secondary separator enters the fuel gas system, the separated production water is pressurized by the production water booster pump and enters the production water treatment system, the separated water-containing crude oil is pressurized by the electrostatic dehydration booster pump and enters the tertiary heater to be heated to the operating temperature required by the electrostatic dehydrator, and then enters the electrostatic dehydrator; after that, the production water separated by the electrostatic dehydrator enters the production water treatment system, the qualified crude oil after electrostatic dehydration goes to the crude oil heat exchanger to exchange heat with the water-containing crude oil, and the crude oil after heat exchange enters the crude oil buffer tank; finally, after being pressurized to the export pressure by the crude oil export pump, it is transported to the platform, FPSO or onshore terminal through the subsea pipeline.

[0019] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the semi-processing flow mode includes the following steps: First, the fluid delivered to the platform is mixed with the fluid from the surrounding wellhead platform, and then heated by a primary heater to the operating temperature required by the primary separator, and enters the primary separator for preliminary gas, water and oil three-phase separation; finally, the gas separated by the primary separator goes to the fuel gas system, the separated water enters the production water treatment system, and the separated water-containing crude oil is pumped through an external pump and piped to downstream facilities for treatment.

[0043] The complete processing flow for medium-quality crude oil includes the following steps:

[0044] Step 1: All fluids delivered to the platform are mixed with the logistics from surrounding wellhead platforms through the production manifold, and then exchange heat with high-temperature crude oil from the electric dehydrator in the crude oil heat exchanger. After entering the primary heater, they are further heated to the operating temperature required by the primary separator, and then enter the primary separator for preliminary oil, gas and water three-phase separation.

[0045] Step 2: The gas separated by the primary separator goes to the fuel gas system, the separated water enters the production water treatment system, and the separated water-containing crude oil (the water content is determined according to the dehydration test report) enters the secondary crude oil heater. After being heated to the operating temperature required by the secondary separator, it enters the secondary separator for further dehydration.

[0046] Step 3: The gas separated by the secondary separator enters the fuel gas system, the separated production water is pressurized by the production water booster pump and then enters the production water treatment system, and the separated water-containing crude oil is pressurized by the electro-dehydration booster pump and then enters the tertiary heater to be heated to the operating temperature required by the electro-dehydrator before entering the electro-dehydrator.

[0047] Step 4: The production water separated by the electrostatic dehydrator enters the production water treatment system. The qualified crude oil (medium oil with water content ≤0.5%, heavy oil with water content ≤2%) after electrostatic dehydration goes to the crude oil heat exchanger to exchange heat with the water-containing crude oil. If necessary, a crude oil cooler can be set up to cool the qualified crude oil to meet the export requirements. The crude oil after heat exchange enters the crude oil buffer tank.

[0048] Step 5: After being pressurized to the export pressure by the crude oil export pump, it is transported to other platforms, FPSOs or onshore terminals through subsea pipelines.

[0049] The semi-processing process for medium-quality crude oil includes the following steps:

[0050] Step 1: All fluids delivered to the platform are mixed with the logistics from surrounding wellhead platforms through the production manifold, and then further heated by the primary heater to the operating temperature required by the primary separator before entering the primary separator for preliminary oil, gas and water three-phase separation.

[0051] Step 2: The gas separated by the primary separator goes to the fuel gas system, and the separated water enters the production water treatment system. The water-containing crude oil separated in the medium oil process is pumped through an external pipeline to the downstream facilities for further processing. In the heavy oil process, the water-containing crude oil separated from the primary separator enters the secondary separator after passing through the secondary heater, and then enters the secondary separator for further separation. After that, it enters the downstream facilities for processing through a subsea pipeline.

[0052] The following discussion focuses on heavy oil (heavy crude oil):

[0053] For heavy crude oil, the semi-processing process includes equipment and facilities such as metering separators, metering heaters, heat exchangers, primary heaters, primary separators, and external pumps.

The full processing process for heavy crude oil includes metering separators, metering heaters, heat exchangers, primary heaters, primary separators, secondary separators, electrostatic desulfurization (ESD), crude oil buffer tanks, secondary heaters, ESD heaters, ESD booster pumps, production water booster pumps, and external pumps. The water treatment process for heavy crude oil includes equipment and facilities such as inclined plate oil separators, production wastewater flotation treatment units, production water buffer tanks, walnut shell feed pumps, walnut shell filters, dual-media filters, water injection buffer tanks, wastewater tanks, wastewater pumps, sludge tanks, sludge pumps, backwash pumps, and water injection pumps. The complete crude oil treatment process for heavy crude oil has a capacity range of 800,000 to 3,000,000 tons / year, depending on the crude oil production capacity, including 850,000 tons / year, 1,250,000 tons / year, 1,850,000 tons / year, and 2,500,000 tons / year.

[0054] The complete processing flow for heavy crude oil includes the following steps:

[0055] Step 1: All fluids delivered to the platform are mixed with the logistics from surrounding wellhead platforms through the production manifold, and then exchange heat with high-temperature crude oil from the electric dehydrator in the crude oil heat exchanger. After entering the primary heater, they are further heated to the operating temperature required by the primary separator, and then enter the primary separator for preliminary oil, gas and water three-phase separation.

[0056] Step 2: The gas separated by the primary separator goes to the fuel gas system, the separated water enters the production water treatment system, and the separated water-containing crude oil (the water content is determined according to the dehydration test report) enters the secondary crude oil heater. After being heated to the operating temperature required by the secondary separator, it enters the secondary separator for further dehydration.

[0057] Step 3: The gas separated by the secondary separator enters the fuel gas system, the separated production water is pressurized by the production water booster pump and then enters the production water treatment system, and the separated water-containing crude oil is pressurized by the electro-dehydration booster pump and then enters the tertiary heater to be heated to the operating temperature required by the electro-dehydrator before entering the electro-dehydrator.

[0058] Step 4: The production water separated by the electrostatic dehydrator enters the production water treatment system. The qualified crude oil (medium oil with water content ≤0.5%, heavy oil with water content ≤2%) after electrostatic dehydration goes to the crude oil heat exchanger to exchange heat with the water-containing crude oil. If necessary, a crude oil cooler can be set up to cool the qualified crude oil to meet the export requirements. The crude oil after heat exchange enters the crude oil buffer tank.

[0059] Step 5: After being pressurized to the export pressure by the crude oil export pump, it is transported to other platforms, FPSOs or onshore terminals through subsea pipelines.

[0060] The semi-processing process for heavy crude oil includes the following steps:

[0061] Step 1: All fluids delivered to the platform are mixed with the logistics from surrounding wellhead platforms through the production manifold, and then further heated by the primary heater to the operating temperature required by the primary separator before entering the primary separator for preliminary oil, gas and water three-phase separation.

[0062] Step 2: The gas separated by the primary separator goes to the fuel gas system, and the separated water enters the production water treatment system. The water-containing crude oil separated in the medium oil process is pumped through an external pipeline to the downstream facilities for further processing. In the heavy oil process, the water-containing crude oil separated from the primary separator enters the secondary separator after passing through the secondary heater, and then enters the secondary separator for further separation. After that, it enters the downstream facilities for processing through a subsea pipeline.

[0063] The water treatment process includes the following steps:

[0064] Step 1: The water treatment system receives and processes the production wastewater separated from the crude oil processing system. After removing some of the crude oil from the water, it enters the water injection system for further processing and pressurization.

[0065] Step 2: The production wastewater from each stage of the separator first enters the inclined plate oil separator to remove larger crude oil particles, and then enters the production wastewater flotation treatment unit for further oil removal.

[0066] Step 3: The water enters the production water buffer tank, and the booster pump pumps the production water into the walnut shell filter for treatment.

[0067] A standardized design is implemented using a four-legged wellhead module with basic functionalities as the benchmark platform. Additional specific functions are designed as functional modules, while the combination of the benchmark platform and functional modules is considered holistically. Through this combination, a multi-functional four-legged wellhead platform can be achieved, widely applicable to the Bohai Oilfield development. One type of offshore oil platform includes an upper module and a lower jacket. The upper module comprises an upper deck, middle deck, lower deck, and working deck. The upper deck includes a crane, living quarters, freshwater equipment area, turbine and waste heat equipment area, oil spill prevention equipment area, chemical storage area, unloading area, and workover rig and equipment area. The middle deck houses electrical rooms, utility gas, instrument gas, chlorine equipment, deluge valve area, water treatment equipment area, fuel gas equipment area, oil treatment equipment area, unloading area, and chemical equipment. The upper deck is divided into a fire pump area and a wellhead area. The lower deck houses the fire pump equipment area, backwash water pump equipment area, water injection booster pump equipment area, seawater system equipment area, domestic sewage equipment area, water injection pump area, diesel and fire extinguishing pump room, gas compressor, water treatment equipment area, pump area, diesel equipment area, oil treatment equipment area, oil treatment closed-loop system, flare system equipment area, pigging area, and wellhead area. The working deck houses the open drainage system equipment area, heat medium system equipment area, sludge oil system equipment area, open drainage system equipment area, seawater pump area, diesel and fire extinguishing pump area, and wellhead area. Specifically, the jacket is fixedly connected to the upper module. The wellhead area also includes a well slot reserved for expanding production capacity. The crane can cover all wellheads in the wellhead area. There are access passages for personnel between the upper deck, middle deck, lower deck, and working deck.

[0068] The development of different oilfields involves numerous uncertainties. The classification method for offshore oil platforms based on their production water treatment capabilities aims to adapt to the uncertain development needs of oilfields with relatively fixed engineering solutions. If the platform scale and system configuration can cover the needs of new platforms but have a large margin, optimized design can be carried out in conjunction with the actual situation of specific project investment, construction period, and resources; alternatively, it can be applied directly, with the margin used for later oilfield adjustments.
