Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of petroleum engineering, and more specifically to a method for controlling the injection of chemicals into subsea production tree networks. Background Technology
[0002] To ensure the normal operation of underwater oil pipelines and improve their service life and production efficiency, various chemicals need to be periodically introduced into the pipelines through underwater injection equipment. Regarding underwater injection equipment, the applicant's earlier Chinese patent application (application number: 202110934610.9) described the structure of an underwater chemical injection device, whose orifice plate and flow channel groove can reduce the pressure of the high-pressure chemical flow. However, subsequent practical experience has revealed the following problems:
[0003] Because underwater chemical injection equipment is a non-standard structure, traditional empirical values for flow measurement are no longer applicable, and directly using empirical parameters will result in measurement inaccuracies. At the same time, underwater chemical injection equipment manages a wide variety of chemicals with different viscosities, flow characteristics, and discharge coefficients. It is impossible to use fixed coefficients to measure flow, and the workload of marking all types is huge and not very feasible. Summary of the Invention

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0032] A method for underwater chemical agent injection metering based on multi-viscosity fitting includes a device body, which comprises an agent inlet connector 1, a pressure reducing component 2, a needle valve assembly 5, and an agent outlet connector 3 connected sequentially through flow channels. The method is performed according to the following steps:
[0033] Step 1: Inject a fluid of any viscosity (such as water) into the device body as a reference medium, and use it as the reference viscosity μ. W Fit its baseline outflow coefficient C W ;
[0034] The fitting process is as follows: The reference medium is injected into the device body, and the flow rate Q and the differential pressure DP before and after the reference medium flows through the pressure reducing component 2 are obtained in real time; Q and DP correspond to each other to form a calibration array;
[0035] Fit the flow rate-differential pressure relationship for each viscosity medium according to formula ①;
[0036]
[0037] Where: K is a fixed parameter; C is the outflow coefficient;
[0038] The reference viscosity μ was obtained by fitting. W The corresponding baseline outflow coefficient C W
[0039] Step 2: Inject at least one other calibration medium of varying viscosity into the device body and fit the calibration viscosity μ. X The corresponding calibration outflow coefficient C X ;
[0040] The fitting process is the same as above.
[0041] The flow rate, differential pressure, and discharge coefficient of some media in the above fitting process are extracted and shown in Table 1.
[0042] Table 1. Statistical Table of Flow Rate, Differential Pressure, and Outflow Coefficient
[0043]
[0044] Step 3: Using medium 1 (water) in Table 1 as the reference medium, calculate C. X / C W With μ W / μ X And fit C according to the following formula ② X / C W With μ W / μ X Relationship;
[0045] C X / C W =A*ln(μ W / μ X )+B, Formula ②;
[0046] Where: A and B are the fitting parameters for the outflow coefficient, and several corresponding C X / C W With μ W / μ X After substituting into formula ②, the logarithmic relationship was used to fit the results, which are shown in Table 2.
[0047] Table 2, C X / C W μ W / μ X Statistical table of parameters A and B
[0048]
[0049] That is, in formula ②, C X / C W =0.174535*ln(μ W / μ X +0.968846;
[0050] This yields the calibration outflow coefficient C. X The calculation formula;
[0051] C X =(0.174535*ln(μ) W / μ X )+0.968846)*C W ;
[0052] The above formula provides a general expression for the discharge coefficient of media with different viscosities. In terms of the method itself, a general formula for calculating the discharge coefficient can be obtained through a small amount of initial calibration. The method is simple and effective, saving considerable time. In practice, those skilled in the art can refer to the discharge coefficient and viscosity of any medium in Table 1, or they can calibrate a benchmark discharge coefficient themselves and then look up the viscosity of the target medium to obtain its discharge coefficient. This avoids the need for comprehensive calibration for every type of medium with different viscosities, simplifying the process of obtaining the discharge coefficient.
[0053] To make C more intuitive X / C W With μ W / μ X The logarithmic relationship between them, plot C X / C W -μ W / μ X The curve, the result is as follows Figure 12 .from Figure 12 It can be seen that C X / C W With μ W / μ X There is a good logarithmic relationship between them. The general formula for the outflow coefficient fitted by formula ② can output a relatively accurate flow rate with high measurement accuracy.
[0054] Step 3: Substitute formula ② into formula ① to obtain the general flow rate calculation formula for media of different viscosities:

[0089] Taking the sliding sleeve 54 as an example, which is equivalent to the drive unit housing 401: the threaded sleeve 53 is cylindrical and is assembled in the internal space of the drive unit housing 401. To reduce the friction between the threaded sleeve 53 and the drive unit housing 401, the threaded sleeve 53 is clearance-fitted with the drive unit housing 401.

Guide sliding rings 531 are respectively fitted in the two annular limiting grooves 53a, and the guide sliding rings 531 are slidably assembled with the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 54.
[0090] The guide sliding ring 531 can be made of plastic (e.g., PEEK) to reduce friction with the inner wall of the drive housing 401. To further reduce friction, a lubricant can be added. The two openings of the drive housing 401 are respectively sealed by the "drive rotary seat 59 / rotation seal" and the "valve seat retaining ring 402 / needle sleeve 512 / segment valve needle seal 551" to form a relatively sealed space, and the sliding lubricant is filled between the threaded sleeve 53 and the drive housing 401.
[0091] The axial length of the drive housing 401 is greater than the axial length of the threaded sleeve 53. Since the drive housing 401 is relatively sealed, the spaces at both ends of the threaded sleeve 53 need to be connected to ensure its normal sliding. The way the spaces at both ends of the threaded sleeve 53 are connected can be:
[0092] On the outer wall of the threaded sleeve 53, corresponding to each of the annular limiting grooves 53a, there is a strip-shaped pressure balancing groove 53b. The length direction of the pressure balancing groove 53b is perpendicular to the width direction of the annular limiting groove 53a, and the depth of the pressure balancing groove 53b is greater than the depth of the annular limiting groove 53a. The pressure balancing grooves 53b extend into the two side walls of the annular limiting groove 53a, connecting the spaces on both sides of the guide sliding ring 531. Since the threaded sleeve 53 and the drive housing 401 are in clearance fit, the spaces at both ends of the threaded sleeve 53 are connected through the pressure balancing groove 53b and the gap between the threaded sleeve 53 and the drive housing 401. This connection method also has the effect that during each sliding process of the threaded sleeve 53, lubricant is pushed through the gap between the threaded sleeve 53 and the drive housing 401, so as to fully lubricate both of them.
[0093] The threaded sleeve 53 has a drive threaded through hole at its center line. The drive screw 58 is threadedly connected to the drive threaded through hole. The solid part of the threaded sleeve 53 has at least one (or two) lubricant balance holes 53c. The lubricant balance holes 53c are arranged radially. The outer end of the lubricant balance hole 53c extends to the outer wall of the threaded sleeve 53. The inner end of the lubricant balance hole 53c communicates with the drive threaded through hole.
[0094] A lubricant injection blind hole 54a is provided on the outer wall of the drive unit housing 401. The bottom of the lubricant injection blind hole 54a has a lubricant through hole communicating with the inner cavity of the drive unit housing 401. A piston 541 is assembled in the lubricant injection blind hole 54a, and a piston limiting ring 542 is fixed at the outer end of the lubricant injection blind hole 54a. The lubricant injection blind hole 54a is used to inject lubricant into the interior of the drive unit housing 401. Before being submerged, the piston 541 is located at the outer end of the lubricant injection blind hole 54a. During the lubricant injection process, air may easily remain inside the drive unit housing 401. Therefore, as much lubricant as possible should be filled inside the piston 541. After the equipment is placed underwater, the piston 541 is automatically moved to the bottom of the lubricant injection blind hole 54a under the action of water pressure, thereby forcing the lubricant in the lubricant injection blind hole 54a into the inner cavity of the drive unit housing 401 and maintaining the internal and external pressure balance.
[0095] The tail of the valve needle 52 is axially fixedly connected to the threaded sleeve 53 and circumferentially rotatably connected. The threaded sleeve 53 slides within the drive housing 401, thereby driving the valve needle 52 to move axially.
[0096] The solid portion of the threaded sleeve 53 is also axially provided with a threaded sleeve guide rod. The threaded sleeve guide rod is eccentrically arranged, and its two ends are respectively fixed to the downstream end face of the power adapter housing 301 and the upstream end face of the adjustment housing 501. The center line of the threaded sleeve guide rod is parallel to the center line of the threaded sleeve 53. The threaded sleeve guide rod is slidably assembled with the threaded sleeve 53. When the drive screw 58 rotates, the threaded sleeve 53 slides axially due to the restriction of the threaded sleeve guide rod.
[0097] The device body also includes a first pressure sensor 61, a second pressure sensor 62, and a third pressure sensor;
[0098] The first pressure sensor 61 is connected to the flow channel at the upstream end of the pressure reducing component 2 to measure the upstream fluid pressure P1 before the drug flows through the pressure reducing component 2;
[0099] The second pressure sensor 62 is connected to the flow channel between the pressure reducing component 2 and the needle valve assembly 5 to measure the mid-section fluid pressure P2 after the drug flows through the pressure reducing component 2 and before the needle valve assembly 5;
[0100] The third pressure sensor is connected to the flow channel of the downstream section of the needle valve assembly 5 to measure the downstream fluid pressure P3 after the drug flows through the needle valve assembly 5.

[0105] The electrical connectors and the output terminals of the first, second, and third pressure sensors 61, 62, and 63 are connected to the PCB module 602 via wiring harnesses.

A second alignment mark groove is provided at the connection between the power transfer housing 301 and the drive unit housing 401. A third alignment mark groove is provided at the connection between the drive unit housing 401 and the adjustment housing 501. The first, second, and third alignment mark grooves can be located on the same axial straight line. A guide block is also provided on the outer wall of the power unit housing 201. The guide block is used to guide the connection process between the equipment and the tree.
[0108] The valve needle 52 is used to control the opening degree of the needle valve assembly 5. The opening degree of the needle valve assembly 5 can be calculated based on the position of the valve needle 52. The sensing end of the linear displacement sensor is fixedly connected to the screw sleeve 53. The sensing end of the rotational displacement sensor is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 57. The rotational displacement sensor can also be integrated with the drive motor 57 (servo motor).
