Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of oil and gas technology, and in particular relates to a closed recovery device for associated gas condensate. Background Technology

[0002] Associated gas typically refers to natural gas that coexists with petroleum. According to the theory of oil generation from organic hydrocarbons, organic matter can evolve into liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons. Gaseous hydrocarbons either dissolve in liquid hydrocarbons or exist as a cap in the upper part of the oil and gas reservoir. Both types of gaseous hydrocarbons are called associated gas. From the perspective of oil production, it refers to the natural gas extracted during the exploitation of an oil field or reservoir. Currently, in the development of low-permeability reservoirs, single-well fluid production is low, and oil wells often produce fluid intermittently. Simultaneously, as the well production time increases and water cut rises, associated gas in the wells becomes increasingly scarce. Therefore, how to effectively recover and utilize associated gas has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0003] In the related technology of invention entitled "Integrated Recovery Device for Associated Gas in Well Site" with publication number CN 203741293 U, the integrated recovery device for associated gas mainly consists of four parts: associated gas compressor, diaphragm pump, gas-liquid separator, and blower. The heat generated by the compressor is used to heat the inlet and outlet gas-liquid separators through the blower to prevent freezing in winter and ensure stable operation of the equipment in winter.

[0004] However, in the aforementioned patent documents, the heat generated by the compressor is used to heat the inlet and outlet gas-liquid separators to prevent blockage. However, due to the low temperature in winter, the energy consumption requirements for heating the equipment are high, requiring a large amount of heat resources and resulting in a large amount of resource consumption, which is not conducive to clean production.

Detailed Implementation

[0039] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0040] To address the problems of associated gas pipeline freezing and blockage in winter, associated gas cooling failure, inability to recover condensate, and the need for extensive on-site operation, this application provides a closed-loop associated gas condensate recovery device. Figure 1 As shown, it includes an integrated structure that combines a pipeline gas-liquid separator 17, a liquid storage pipe 18, a Y-type filter 19, and a condensate lift pump 20.

[0041] For details, please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 The inlet of the pipeline gas-liquid separator 17 is connected to the associated gas inlet pipeline 8 through the first shut-off valve 1, and the outlet is connected to the associated gas outlet pipeline 9 through the second shut-off valve 2.

[0042] The condensate outlet of the pipeline gas-liquid separator 17 is connected to the condensate manifold 10, and the condensate manifold 10 is connected to the storage pipe 18 through the control gate valve 3 and the storage pipe inlet pipeline 11.

[0043] The liquid storage pipe 18 is connected to the pipeline gas-liquid separator 17 via a liquid storage pipe gas connection line 12, and a gas connection line shut-off valve 4 is provided on the liquid storage pipe gas connection line 12.

[0044] The storage pipe 18 is connected to the Y-type filter 19 through the first booster pump manifold 13. A liquid level data control electric ball valve 5 is connected between the first booster pump manifold 13 and the Y-type filter 19. The Y-type filter 19 is connected to the inlet of the condensate booster pump 20 through the second booster pump manifold 14. The flow rate of condensate entering the condensate booster pump 20 is controlled by the opening degree of the electric ball valve 5.

[0045] The outlet of the condensate booster pump 20 is connected to the condensate outlet manifold 16.

[0046] In one embodiment, a booster pump post-check valve 6 and a booster pump post-ball valve 7 are sequentially installed on the pipeline of the condensate outlet manifold 16; the condensate booster pump 20 is connected to the booster pump post-check valve 6 through the booster pump post-manifold 15, and the booster pump post-ball valve 7 is connected to the condensate outlet manifold 16.

[0047] In one embodiment, the pipeline gas-liquid separator 17 is a U-shaped tube bundle gas-liquid separator, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it includes an associated gas inlet 30 and an associated gas outlet 22, which are arranged in a low-inlet, high-outlet configuration to ensure that the associated gas passes evenly through all tube bundles. The condensate separated by cooling is collected by the inclined tube at the bottom of the multi-stage U-shaped tube separation structure of the pipeline gas-liquid separator 17, and then flows by gravity into the condensate manifold 10 through the condensate first outlet 21, condensate second outlet 23, condensate third outlet 24, condensate fourth outlet 25, condensate fifth outlet 26, condensate sixth outlet 27, and condensate seventh outlet 28 set at a low position on the multi-stage U-shaped tube separation structure.

[0048] In this embodiment, high and low liquid level monitoring ports are provided at the end of the storage pipe 18. When the liquid level in the storage pipe reaches the high level, the condensate lift pump 20 is turned on, and the electric ball valve 5 on the manifold 13 before the first lift pump is opened, allowing the condensate to enter the condensate lift pump 20. When the liquid level in the storage pipe reaches the low level, the condensate lift pump 20 is turned off, and the electric ball valve 5 on the manifold 13 before the first lift pump is closed, allowing the condensate to be stored in the storage pipe 18, thus achieving the effect of automatic pressurization and transportation of condensate.

[0049] In one embodiment, the pipeline gas-liquid separator 17 is a U-shaped tube bundle separation structure welded from pressure pipelines; such as Figure 2 As shown, each level of the U-shaped tube bundle includes several interconnected inverted U-shaped pipes arranged in sequence. The U-shaped tube bundles at each level are interconnected. The U-shaped tube bundle separation structure also includes a row of pipes composed of several vertical pipes and two horizontal pipes. The horizontal pipes are respectively set at the top and bottom of the vertical pipes. The horizontal pipe at the bottom of the vertical pipes is connected to the inverted U-shaped pipes. The associated gas outlet 22 and its corresponding seventh flange cover 29 are set on the horizontal pipe at the top. The associated gas inlet 30 and its corresponding condensate first outlet 21 are set on the outermost inverted U-shaped tube bundle.

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, each stage of the U-shaped tube bundle is connected through a horizontal pipe at the bottom. Each horizontal pipe is respectively provided with the associated gas inlet 30 and its corresponding first condensate outlet 21, second condensate outlet 23 and its corresponding first flange cover 31, third condensate outlet 24 and its corresponding second flange cover 32, fourth condensate outlet 25 and its corresponding third flange cover 33, fifth condensate outlet 26 and its corresponding fourth flange cover 34, sixth condensate outlet 27 and its corresponding fifth flange cover 35, and seventh condensate outlet 28 and its corresponding sixth flange cover 36.

[0051] In one embodiment, the liquid storage pipe 18 has the functions of liquid storage and buffering. The diameter of the liquid storage pipe 18 is DN400, the length is 0.24m, the volume is 28L, and the condensate buffering time is calculated to be 3h based on the tank capacity.

[0052] The inlet pipe 11 of the liquid storage pipe extends into the bottom of the liquid storage pipe 18, so that the inlet pipe 11 is submerged below the liquid surface, forming a liquid seal effect to ensure that the gas and liquid phases do not block or cross-flow due to different gas pressures; the top of the liquid storage pipe 18 is provided with a gas connection pipe 12 to maintain the pressure balance between the liquid storage pipe 18 and the pipeline gas-liquid separator 17 and prevent gas blockage; the end of the liquid storage pipe 18 is provided with high and low liquid level ports, which start and stop the downstream condensate lift pump 20 through liquid level interlocking.

[0053] In this application's summary of embodiments, the temperature drop simulation of the pipeline gas-liquid separator 17 is calculated using Fluent simulation software, and the calculation parameters for the model are determined by using Fluent simulation software, including:

[0054] With an associated gas throughput of 6000 m³ / d, an inlet temperature of 30℃, an ambient temperature of -10℃, an inlet velocity of 5.659 m / s, and a natural convection heat transfer coefficient of 11 W / (m³), the following parameters are used: 2 •k) The pipe wall thickness is set to 4mm, and the model of the pipeline gas-liquid separator 17 is established and numerically simulated using this parameter.

[0055] In this embodiment of the application, the temperature contour map of the pipeline gas-liquid separator 17 model is detected using the aforementioned Fluent simulation software and the determined parameters, such as... Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown.

[0056] As can be seen from the velocity cloud diagram, the flow distribution characteristics of this pipeline gas-liquid separator are relatively uniform, and the heat exchange area can be fully utilized. When the inlet temperature of the associated gas in the pipeline gas-liquid separator is 30℃, after heat exchange with the environment through three sets of heat exchangers, the outlet temperature drops to 2.77℃ (below the pipe temperature, meeting the requirements). This ensures that the associated gas entering the pipeline gas-liquid separator 17 can be evenly distributed in flow, fully increasing the cooling heat exchange area of ​​the associated gas and effectively achieving gas-liquid separation.

[0057] In the specific use of the device provided in this application embodiment, the associated gas is connected to the pipeline gas-liquid separator 17 via the associated gas inlet pipeline 8. The associated gas is cooled and separated by the U-shaped tube bundle separation structure entering the pipeline gas-liquid separator 17. The separated associated gas is discharged through the associated gas outlet shut-off valve 2 and the associated gas outlet pipeline 9; the separated condensate flows by gravity into the condensate manifold 10 through each condensate outlet of the pipeline gas-liquid separator 17, and flows into the storage pipe 18 for buffering through the control gate valve 3 and the storage pipe inlet pipeline 11. The opening degree of the electric ball valve 5 is adjusted by the liquid level data of the storage pipe 18 to control the flow rate into the condensate booster pump 20, thereby achieving the purpose of closed-loop condensate transportation.

[0058] This application provides embodiments such as Figure 1 The associated gas condensate closed-loop recovery device shown integrates associated gas gas-liquid separation, condensate recovery, automatic condensate drainage, and remote monitoring functions. It boasts advantages such as high gas-liquid separation efficiency, high integration, unmanned operation, reduced manpower, and increased efficiency, resulting in significant economic and social benefits. Based on the influence of gas-liquid separation heat exchange area and flow distribution, the pipeline-type gas-liquid separator proposed in this embodiment, with its U-shaped tube bundle structure, can reduce the associated gas temperature to the pipe temperature (3°C), preventing condensate precipitation and pipe freezing in the gas collection pipeline during winter. Due to limitations in the width of transport vehicles and road height, the overall width and height of the integrated device structure provided in this embodiment are limited to 2.5m and 3m, respectively. The associated gas is cooled and separated by the U-shaped tube bundle gas-liquid separator, reducing its temperature below the pipeline transport temperature, causing condensate to precipitate. The precipitated condensate flows by gravity through the inclined tube at the bottom of the tube bundle separation structure into the condensate manifold. The condensate manifold has a slope, allowing the condensate to flow by gravity to a level below the liquid surface in the storage pipe, creating a liquid seal effect. The storage pipe serves both storage and buffering functions. It has a diameter of DN400, a volume of less than 30L, and a buffering time of 3 hours. The top of the storage pipe is equipped with an associated gas balancing port, connected to the outlet pipeline of the inline gas-liquid separator. High and low level ports are located at the ends, allowing for the interlocking start and stop of the downstream condensate booster pump. Two pairs of flange covers are fitted at both ends of the storage pipe for easy welding and internal maintenance. When the liquid level reaches the high or low level, the booster pump is interlocked to start and stop, and the condensate is pressurized and transported to the main flow before the oil pump at the station. This solves the problem of associated gas moisture accumulating during transportation, causing freezing and blockage of the gathering and transportation pipeline in winter. It helps reduce the risk of production accidents and provides technical support for the efficient gathering and transportation of associated gas in oil fields.

[0059] In one implementation embodiment, the various components of the associated gas condensate closed recovery device are remotely controlled via a PLC control cabinet system. This includes the PLC control cabinet system automatically collecting real-time liquid level data from the storage pipe and uploading the data to the station where the device is located. Remote monitoring, regular inspections, and emergency response are implemented to alleviate labor pressure. In another implementation embodiment, the PLC control cabinet system controls the opening and closing of various relevant valves in the recovery device.

[0060] In summary, the associated gas condensate closed-loop recovery device provided in this application embodiment utilizes pressure pipelines welded together to form a gas-liquid separator and a storage pipe, replacing the purchased air cooler and pressure vessel storage tank, significantly reducing the device construction cost and facilitating cost reduction and efficiency improvement in oilfield surface engineering. The use of a large-diameter pipeline-type gas-liquid separator ensures high condensate removal efficiency and solves pipeline blockage problems. The design fully considers factors such as site roads, equipment dimensions, weight, and transportation challenges in the Loess Plateau terrain. The optimized device is 2.5m wide and 3m high. Piping is prefabricated in the factory and then assembled on-site, meeting the requirements for overall device transportation and safe on-site installation. Furthermore, when the various components of the associated gas condensate closed-loop recovery device are remotely controlled via a PLC control cabinet system, the integrated device operates unattended. The PLC control cabinet system automatically collects real-time liquid level data from the storage pipe and uploads the data to the site. Remote monitoring, regular inspections, and emergency response mechanisms alleviate labor pressure.
