[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] The following combination Figures 1-4 The present invention describes the production resumption control method of an unmanned offshore oil and gas production platform.

[0050] In the related art, since there is no one on duty at the offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform, there is no on-site operator participation in the remote resumption process, so higher requirements are placed on the safety, reliability, automation and intelligence level of the remote resumption operation. The restart of the unmanned oil and gas production platform after shutdown requires the formulation of different operating process flows according to different unmanned platform equipment configurations and corresponding production processes, and the adjustment of the operating strategy according to the feedback information of the equipment during the resumption operation to ensure the safe resumption of the offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform. At the same time, due to the large number of operating steps and operating objects involved in the resumption operation, it brings certain difficulties to the operation process of the remote control operator. The offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform resumption control method proposed in this embodiment can efficiently and safely complete the one-click resumption of the unmanned oil and gas platform without human participation throughout the process, thereby improving the efficiency and safety of offshore oil and gas production operations.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment proposes a first method for controlling resumption of production on an unmanned offshore oil and gas production platform, which may include the following steps:

[0052] S101. In response to a resumption instruction sent by a remote control device, it is determined that each oil and gas well in the unmanned offshore oil and gas production platform meets the resumption conditions, and then step S102 is executed.

[0053] It should be noted that this embodiment can be applied to a control unit in an unmanned offshore oil and gas production platform.

[0054] The remote control device may be a control device in a central station several kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers away from the offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform.

[0055] Specifically, when receiving a resumption instruction, this embodiment can determine whether each oil and gas well on the offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform meets the resumption conditions. If so, subsequent well opening operations can be performed. If not, a corresponding alarm can be issued and a resumption failure can be displayed.

[0056] Optionally, step S101 may include:

[0057] Obtain the switch status and system pressure of the main valve, surface safety valve, and emergency shut-off valve in each oil and gas well, and test the operating performance of the field probe, process control system, fire and gas system, and emergency shut-off system respectively;

[0058] After confirming that the main valve, surface safety valve, and emergency shut-off valve in each oil and gas well are in the closed state, the system pressure is within the normal range, and the operating performance of the field probe, process control system, fire and gas system, and emergency shut-off system is normal, check the power supply status of the emergency busbar and medium-pressure busbar;

[0059] When it is detected that the power supply status of the emergency busbar and the medium pressure busbar is energized, the hydraulic oil pressure and the hydraulic oil level of the well control panel are detected;

[0060] After confirming that the hydraulic oil pressure and liquid level of the well control panel are within the normal range, it is determined that each oil and gas well meets the conditions for resumption of production.

[0061] Specifically, this embodiment can determine whether the main valve and ground safety valve in each oil and gas well are closed normally, whether the emergency shut-off valve is closed normally, whether the system pressure is normal, whether the field probe is normal, whether the process control system, fire and gas system and emergency shutdown system are normal. If it is determined that any of the devices or systems are abnormal, the relevant alarm program can be activated.

[0062] This embodiment then determines whether the emergency busbar is powered. If not, it then determines whether the cooling water level meets the required level, the battery voltage is normal, and the diesel level meets the required level. If any of these conditions are not met, an alarm is triggered, indicating that the resumption of production has failed. If the conditions are met, the emergency generator set is started.

[0063] This embodiment then determines whether the medium-pressure busbar is receiving power and whether the hydraulic oil pressure and level on the well control panel are normal. If the medium-pressure busbar is not receiving power or the pressure and level are abnormal, an alarm is triggered and a message indicating that the resumption of production has failed is displayed. If all conditions are met, the well start-up process begins.

[0064] S102: Perform well opening operation on each oil and gas well.

[0065] Optionally, step S102 may include:

[0066] Open the emergency shut-off valve and monitor the opening result of the emergency shut-off valve;

[0067] If the emergency shut-off valve is detected to be opened successfully, the hydraulic oil pressure and liquid level of the well control panel hydraulic oil are detected;

[0068] When it is determined that the hydraulic oil pressure and the hydraulic oil level of the well control panel are within the normal range, the opening of the electric oil nozzle is adjusted from 0 to a first set opening, and the operating parameters of the electric oil nozzle are detected;

[0069] After confirming that the operating parameters of the electric oil nozzle are within the normal range, the common module pressure is within the normal range, the well control panel hydraulic oil pressure and the well control panel hydraulic oil level are within the normal range, the high and low pressure switches are in normal status, and the hydraulic oil pressure pump is energized, open the main valve and ground safety valve in each oil and gas well, and adjust the opening of the electric oil nozzle from the first set opening to the second set opening.

[0070] S103: When it is determined that the opening operation of each oil and gas well has been successfully completed, power is supplied to the auxiliary system through the submarine cable box and the medium-voltage busbar to start the auxiliary system.

[0071] Among them, auxiliary systems may include air conditioning, fire and gas and other auxiliary systems.

[0072] Optionally, step S103 may include:

[0073] Detect the pressure before the electric oil nozzle and the temperature after the oil nozzle;

[0074] After confirming that the pressure before the electric nozzle and the temperature after the nozzle are within the normal range, confirm that the opening operation of each oil and gas well has been successfully completed, and check the power status of the submarine cable box and the medium-voltage busbar;

[0075] When it is determined that the power-on status of the submarine cable box and the medium-voltage busbar is energized, power is supplied to the auxiliary system through the submarine cable box and the medium-voltage busbar.

[0076] Specifically, this embodiment can determine that the opening operation of each oil and gas well has been completed, and then control the submarine cable box and the medium-voltage busbar to supply power to the auxiliary system to start the auxiliary system.

[0077] S104: Monitor the startup progress of the auxiliary system.

[0078] Specifically, this embodiment can monitor the startup progress of the auxiliary system after power is supplied to the auxiliary system through the submarine cable box and the medium voltage busbar.

[0079] S105: When it is detected that the auxiliary system is started successfully, the chemical pump is started.

[0080] Specifically, in this embodiment, the chemical pump may be started after determining that the auxiliary system has been successfully started.

[0081] Optionally, step S105 may include:

[0082] When the auxiliary system is detected to be successfully started, the power supply status, outlet pressure and liquid level of the chemical pump are detected;

[0083] After confirming that the chemical pump is powered on and the outlet pressure and the liquid level in the chemical tank are within normal ranges, start the chemical pump.

[0084] S106. After confirming that the chemical pump has been successfully started, confirm that the offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform has successfully resumed production.

[0085] Specifically, this embodiment can monitor the startup progress of the chemical pump, and when it is determined that the chemical pump is successfully started, it is determined that the resumption of production control of the unmanned offshore oil and gas production platform is successfully completed.

[0086] It should be noted that starting the chemical pump is one of the working conditions during the resumption of production of the unmanned offshore oil and gas production platform. This embodiment tests and confirms all working conditions during the resumption of production of the unmanned offshore oil and gas production platform.

[0087] Optionally, step S106 may include:

[0088] Detect the outlet pressure of the chemical pump;

[0089] After confirming that the outlet pressure of the chemical pump remains within the normal range, it is determined that the chemical pump is successfully started and that the offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform has successfully resumed production.

[0090] Optionally, in other offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform resumption control methods proposed in this embodiment, the following steps may also be included:

[0091] If it is determined that the oil and gas wells do not meet the conditions for resuming production, the well opening operation fails, the submarine cable box is not powered, the medium-voltage busbar is not powered, the auxiliary system fails to start, or the chemical pump fails to start, the unmanned offshore oil and gas production platform is determined to have failed to resume production and a corresponding alarm is output.

[0092] It can be understood that this embodiment can judge whether each oil and gas well in the offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform meets the resumption of production start-up conditions based on the resumption of production instructions and preconditions, and formulate a resumption of production operation process based on the offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform, and then use the formulated resumption of production operation process to obtain the response information of related equipment and execution devices, judge whether the sequential execution conditions are met, and autonomously complete the resumption of production of the offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform without any human participation throughout the process, and can automatically handle special situations that arise during the resumption of production.

[0093] It should be noted that this embodiment can formulate corresponding offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform resumption processes and operating procedures based on the production process and equipment configuration of a specific offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform. By integrating with the monitoring system, it obtains the status response information of relevant equipment and actuators, determines whether the preconditions of each execution step are met, and then sequentially executes the resumption operation steps to complete the unmanned autonomous startup of the offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform. During the entire resumption and startup process, the response and disposal measures taken are autonomously determined based on the current operation steps and the real-time status information fed back by the equipment.

[0094] It should also be noted that this embodiment can formulate a safe operating process flow for the restart operation of an unmanned offshore oil and gas production platform after shutdown, integrate with the production monitoring system of the unmanned offshore oil and gas production platform, obtain the feedback status information of each device and actuator during the resumption of production and restart, and sequentially realize the resumption of production of the unmanned platform. It can also make independent decisions based on the operating process and the feedback information of the monitored equipment and actuators, and alarm or handle situations that arise during the one-click resumption of production, thereby solving the problem of cumbersome and complicated operations of remote resumption personnel on the unmanned offshore oil and gas production platform, and at the same time improving the safety and efficiency of the resumption of production operation.

[0095] The offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform resumption control method proposed in this embodiment can respond to the resumption instruction sent by the remote control device, determine that each oil and gas well in the offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform meets the resumption conditions, and then perform the well opening operation on each oil and gas well respectively. When it is determined that the well opening operation corresponding to each oil and gas well has been successfully completed, power is supplied to the auxiliary system through the submarine cable box and the medium-voltage busbar to start the auxiliary system, and the startup progress of the auxiliary system is monitored. When it is monitored that the auxiliary system has been successfully started, the chemical pump is started. When it is determined that the chemical pump has been successfully started, it is determined that the offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform has resumed production successfully. This embodiment can, after the offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform is shut down, conduct a judgment on the resumption conditions in the offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform based on the resumption instruction sent by the remote control device, and control the relevant equipment and systems, and autonomously complete the restart and resumption of production of the offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform without human participation throughout the process, thereby improving the operating efficiency and safety of the offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform.

[0096] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment proposes a second method for controlling resumption of production of an unmanned offshore oil and gas production platform, which may include steps S1, S2, S3, S4, and S5:

[0097] S1. Based on the monitoring information, determine whether the preconditions such as the main valve, ground safety valve, process control system, fire and gas system, emergency shutdown system and power supply unit status of each oil and gas well in the offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform meet the conditions for resumption of production, and alarm or deal with any existing problems.

[0098] First, this embodiment can determine whether the main valves and ground safety valves of each oil and gas well are closed normally, whether the SDV is closed, whether the system pressure is normal, whether the field probe is normal, and whether the process control system, fire and gas system, and emergency shutdown system are normal. If there is a problem, the relevant alarm program will be activated.

[0099] Next, the system checks whether the emergency busbar is powered. If not, it checks whether the cooling water level meets the required level, the battery voltage is normal, and the diesel level meets the required level. If any of these conditions are not met, an alarm is triggered, indicating that the resumption of production has failed. If the conditions are met, the emergency generator set is started.

[0100] Finally, the system checks whether the medium-pressure busbar is receiving power and whether the hydraulic oil pressure and level on the well control panel are normal. If the medium-pressure busbar is not receiving power or the pressure and level are abnormal, an alarm will be triggered and the resumption of production failure will be displayed. If all conditions are met, the well start-up process will begin.

[0101] S2. Open the emergency shut-off valve and determine the execution status of the emergency shut-off valve, the pressure and liquid level information of the hydraulic system, and whether the electric nozzle is energized. Open the electric nozzle to a specific value, then sequentially open the main valve and ground safety valve of each oil and gas well and determine whether the feedback information is correct until it is displayed that the well opening operation is completed.

[0102] First, this embodiment can determine whether the emergency shutoff valve is opening normally, whether the hydraulic oil pressure on the well control panel is normal, and whether the hydraulic oil level on the well control panel is normal 30 seconds after the emergency shutoff valve is opened. If abnormal, the one-button recovery fails and an alarm is issued. If normal, the electric oil nozzle is activated to a specific value after it is determined to be energized.

[0103] This embodiment then uses the monitoring system to determine whether the operating current and temperature of the nozzles are normal, as well as the nozzle opening feedback value. If not, the one-touch restart fails and an alarm is issued. If all is normal, the system then determines whether the hydraulic oil pressure and level on the well control panel are normal, whether the common module pressure is normal, whether the high and low pressure switches are normal, and whether the hydraulic pump is powered. If any of these conditions are not met, the restart fails. If all is normal, the main valves and surface safety valves of each oil and gas well are opened.

[0104] Next, the system checks whether the valve position feedback of each well's main valve and surface safety valve is normal, whether the hydraulic oil pressure and level on the well control panel are normal, and whether the video surveillance system is monitoring the normal operation of each well's main valve. If these conditions are abnormal, the one-button restart will fail. If they are normal, the surface safety valves of each well will be opened.

[0105] Finally, open the nozzle to the specified opening, and judge whether the well opening operation is normal by the pressure before the nozzle and the temperature after the nozzle.

[0106] S3. Determine the power supply status of the submarine cable box and the medium-voltage busbar. If the submarine cable box and the medium-voltage busbar are powered, start the air conditioning, fire and gas and other auxiliary systems.

[0107] First, this embodiment can determine whether there is power to the submarine cable box. If there is no power, it will prompt that the resumption of production has failed and an alarm will be issued; if there is power, it will determine whether there is power to the medium-voltage busbar. If there is no power, it will prompt that the resumption of production has failed and an alarm will be issued; if there is power, the auxiliary system will be started; if the auxiliary system cannot be started, it will determine whether the air conditioner and fan damper are powered, whether the indoor probe status is normal, and whether the video surveillance system monitors the indoor environment normally; if the above conditions are not met, an alarm will be issued.

[0108] S4. Obtain the power supply status of the chemical pump, the outlet pressure, and the liquid level information of the chemical tank, and determine whether the start-up conditions of the chemical pump are met based on the status information. If the conditions are met, start the chemical pump.

[0109] First, this embodiment can determine whether the chemical pump has power, whether the chemical pump outlet pressure is normal, and whether the chemical tank liquid level is normal. If the above conditions are not met, it will prompt that the resumption of production has failed and an alarm will be issued. If the conditions are met, the chemical pump will be started.

[0110] S5. If the chemical pump startup test is successful, the autonomous resumption of production operation is completed.

[0111] Specifically, this embodiment can determine whether the outlet pressure of the chemical pump has changed and whether the pressure exceeds the standard. If the pressure changes and the pressure does not exceed the standard, it indicates that the resumption of production is successful. If the pressure does not change or exceeds the standard, it indicates that the resumption of production has failed and an alarm is issued.

[0112] The offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform resumption control method proposed in this embodiment can, after the offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform is shut down, conduct analysis and judgment of resumption conditions in the offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform based on the resumption instructions sent by the remote control device, and control related equipment and systems. It can independently complete the restart and resumption of production of the offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform without human participation throughout the process, thereby improving the operating efficiency and safety of the offshore unmanned oil and gas production platform.

[0114] The first determining unit 101 is configured to determine whether each oil and gas well in the unmanned offshore oil and gas production platform meets the production resumption condition in response to the production resumption instruction sent by the remote control device;
