Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of marine engineering, specifically to a system for recovering and utilizing emissions from oil and gas field production processes. Background Technology

[0002] Closed crude oil and natural gas processing systems typically include pressure regulating valves and pressure relief valves at key points such as separation and pressurization. When process pressure fluctuates, the opening of the pressure regulating valve is adjusted to maintain stable process pressure. During equipment maintenance, the pressure relief valve is opened to release combustible hydrocarbons from the system. These valves are indispensable for stabilizing production process operating pressure and ensuring operational safety during maintenance, but they can cause intermittent or even continuous emissions of associated gases.

[0003] With the energy industry placing increasing emphasis on energy conservation and emission reduction, pressure regulating and depressurizing exhaust gases (hereinafter referred to as "emission gases") must be recovered and utilized according to the principle of "recovering as much as possible." Offshore oil and gas fields emit approximately 3000-10000 Sm³ of exhaust gases per day. 3 / d represents a major material loss in offshore oil and gas fields, accompanied by environmental problems such as continuous burning of flare flames and black smoke from the flare. Therefore, economically and effectively recovering emitted gas is an important way to save energy, reduce emissions, and improve the production capacity of oil fields.

[0004] Currently, relevant literature and standards have paid attention to the problem of low-pressure gas recovery. The prevention and control measures focus on closed flare systems, which connect compression facilities to the gas phase outlet of the flare separator to recover the vented gas. However, due to the addition of flare gas compressors and the frequent start-stop of the compressors, closed flare systems have high investment costs, large footprints, and complex operation and maintenance. They are not economically viable for use on offshore platforms and are difficult to promote.

[0005] In summary, there is an urgent need for a system for recovering and utilizing gases emitted during oil and gas field production processes. Summary of the Invention

[0067] A gas cooler 7 is provided at the inlet of the low-pressure compressor inlet scrubbing tank 8-1;

[0068] The inlet of the medium-pressure compressor inlet gas tank 8-2 is also connected to the gas phase outlet of the production separator 1; the pressure detection transmitter is provided on the low-pressure compressor inlet gas tank 8-1, and the outlet of the low-pressure compressor inlet gas tank 8-1 is also connected to the flare separator 12. A gas tank pressure regulating valve 11 is provided between the outlet of the low-pressure compressor inlet gas tank 8-1 and the flare separator 2.

[0069] Work process:

[0070] During normal production, the oil well logistics undergoes gas-liquid separation in production separator 1. The gas phase enters the medium-pressure compressor inlet scrubbing tank 8-2 through pipeline, and then passes through the medium-pressure compressor 6-2, the high-pressure compressor inlet scrubbing tank 8-3, and the high-pressure compressor 6-3 before entering the associated gas user.

[0071] The liquid phase outlet of the production separator 1 is connected to the low-pressure separator 2, and the liquid phase outlet of the low-pressure separator 2 is sent to the downstream processing flow for processing via the transfer pump 15.

[0072] The gas phase outlet of the production separator 1 is connected to the associated gas cooler 7. The associated gas from the low-pressure separator 2 is cooled by the associated gas cooler 7 and its pressure is stabilized by the low-pressure compressor inlet scrubbing tank 8-1 before entering the low-pressure compressor 6-1. The material at the inlet of the low-pressure compressor 6-1 is in a stable state, and the scrubbing tank pressure regulating valve 11 of the low-pressure compressor inlet scrubbing tank 8-1 is closed, allowing the low-pressure compressor 6-1 to operate stably. The associated gas passes through the low-pressure compressor 6-1, the medium-pressure compressor inlet scrubbing tank 8-2, then the medium-pressure compressor 6-2, the high-pressure compressor inlet scrubbing tank 8-3, and finally the high-pressure compressor 6-3 before reaching the associated gas user.

[0073] The pressure in the production separator 1 is detected by the second pressure transmitter 9-2, and the opening and closing of the first regulating valve 4-1 is controlled. When the pressure is too high, the pressure is released through the first pressure relief valve 3-1 and the first exhaust pipe 5-1.

[0074] The pressure in the inlet gas tank 8-2 of the medium-pressure compressor is detected by the third pressure transmitter 9-3, and the opening and closing of the second regulating valve 4-2 is controlled. When the pressure is too high, the pressure is released through the second pressure relief valve 3-2 and the second exhaust pipe 5-2.

[0075] The pressure in the high-pressure compressor inlet gas tank 8-3 is detected by the fourth pressure transmitter 9-4, and the opening and closing of the third regulating valve 4-3 is controlled. When the pressure is too high, the pressure is released through the third pressure relief valve 3-3 and the third exhaust pipe 5-3.

[0076] To ensure continuous operation of the low-pressure compressor 6-1, the following conditions must be met:

[0077] In the exhaust gas input condition, the exhaust gas merges with the associated gas and enters the associated gas cooler 7. The input of new material causes the pressure in the low-pressure compressor inlet scrubbing tank 8-1 to increase. The first pressure detection transmitter 9-1 transmits the pressure signal to the frequency converter 10. According to the pressure-frequency control algorithm, the frequency of the low-pressure compressor 6-1 is increased, thereby increasing the suction capacity of the low-pressure compressor 6-1 and stably reducing the pressure in the low-pressure compressor inlet scrubbing tank 8-1. If the exhaust gas flow rate is large, the frequency converter cannot stabilize the pressure temporarily, and the pressure in the low-pressure compressor inlet scrubbing tank 8-1 is higher than 250 kPaA, the first pressure detection transmitter 9-1 transmits the pressure signal to the scrubbing tank pressure regulating valve 11. According to the positive PID regulation mode, the opening of the scrubbing tank pressure regulating valve 11 is increased, and the associated gas is released to the flare separator 12. The pressure in the low-pressure compressor inlet scrubbing tank 8-1 quickly drops back to the normal operating pressure.

[0078] The pressure-frequency control algorithm is an existing positive feedback process control technology. When the pressure in the compressor's inlet scrubbing tank increases, the compressor's built-in algorithm calculates the corresponding compressor speed and sends this information to the compressor control system to increase the speed and reduce the inlet scrubbing tank pressure; conversely, the speed decreases. The specific calculation methods vary among compressor manufacturers (such as the Solar Turbine compressor from Ledong Gas Field and the GE compressor from Lingshui Gas Field), and the internal parameters are adjusted according to production conditions. This invention does not modify these methods; manufacturers can be selected based on specific needs.

[0079] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
