Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of oil and gas equipment failure analysis, and particularly relates to an oil and gas equipment failure database construction method based on multiple algorithms. BACKGROUND

[0002] For the reliability research and database of oil and gas equipment, foreign related companies and institutions have developed greatly in recent years. Through continuous collection and arrangement of data, and application and analysis of some algorithms, a relatively complete database has been formed. For example, the OREDA database of DNV, the process equipment reliability database PERD of CCPS, etc. These data are key basic data and technologies for foreign related research institutions to carry out the whole life cycle management of oil and gas equipment.

[0003] For example, OREDA of DNV makes more introduction and application to the equipment classification method of the oil and gas industry and the calculation method of the failure rate; for the algorithm of the normal operation and maintenance stage of oil and gas equipment, OREDA obtains the failure rate of different failure modes of oil and gas equipment and the upper and lower limit values under the 90% confidence interval by using the exponential distribution method, and gives the standard deviation; at the same time, the method is studied and applied to the single sample and multiple samples, and finally a relatively complete failure rate library of oil and gas equipment is obtained.

[0004] Although the failure library of foreign oil and gas equipment is quite rich and complete, the foreign database is based on foreign equipment and facility failure data. There are obvious differences in the types of equipment and facilities, the operation conditions of equipment and facilities and the management mode of equipment and facilities between the foreign database and the domestic one. If the domestic oil and gas equipment and facility safety technology evaluation directly learns from the foreign database, the credibility of the evaluation result is relatively low; and the foreign database mainly calculates the failure rate by using the exponential distribution method, which is single. The calculated failure rate is a constant value. However, the failure rate of oil and gas equipment should change with time, especially for the equipment in the later stage of the "bathtub curve". In addition, there are few failure data of domestic oil and gas equipment, which cannot directly calculate the failure rate. Most of them use expert experience evaluation method to evaluate the reliability of oil and gas equipment, without systematically considering the enterprise's own equipment failure database obtained by using the Bayesian method based on the foreign failure library (such as OREDA), to provide reference for the reliability research of oil and gas equipment.

[0005] At present, the failure database analysis method of domestic oil and gas equipment is basically scattered. There is no clear analysis algorithm path and scientific and complete technical method based on failure data. There is no standardized process, and there is no related professional software system to realize the landing and application of equipment failure database; not to mention the specific feasible technical method of equipment reliability management and operation optimization based on the application of equipment failure database. SUMMARY

[0021] In the technical solution, the algorithm in step (iv) includes any one or more of OREDA method, Bayesian method based on OREDA or multi-distribution life data analysis method.

[0022] In the technical solution, when the analysis path and algorithm are selected in step (iv), if there is no device failure record, the algorithm in OREDA is applied to perform analysis preferentially, the analyzed device type, failure rate and upper and lower limits thereof under different failure modes and standard deviation index are obtained and automatically stored, and the life data analysis method combined with the characteristics of the device type and failure mode is provided for comparative analysis.

[0023] In the technical solution, when the analysis path and algorithm are selected in step (iv), if the number of device failure records is small (0 < number of records < 5), the Bayesian method based on OREDA prior is applied to perform analysis preferentially, when the Bayesian algorithm analysis path is applied, the determination conditions and different paths of two cases that the prior distribution is Gamma distribution or not are determined, the path of Gamma distribution or the path of not Gamma distribution is selected according to the data of the same type of device and failure mode in the OREDA database, the failure database data analysis result of the oil and gas equipment is obtained and automatically saved, the life data analysis method combined with the characteristics of the device type and failure mode is provided for analysis and comparison, the corresponding result and graph are obtained and stored, and the corresponding data of the failure database is automatically obtained through system processing.

[0024] In the technical solution, when the analysis path and algorithm are selected in step (iv), if the number of device failure records is large (the number of device failure records is greater than or equal to 5), the multi-distribution life data analysis method is applied to analyze the data of two levels of device and failure mode, the analysis sub-path is selected and the data in the scene is analyzed, the failure database data analysis result of the oil and gas equipment is obtained and saved through system processing, and the reliability index and curve of the oil and gas equipment are provided.
