[0044] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0045] The specific structure is as follows: Figures 1 to 5 As shown.

[0046] This embodiment provides an underground large-scale cavern system, including: a vertical shaft 1, oil storage caverns 2, connecting tunnels, oil and gas pipes 4, and nitrogen injection pipes 5; multiple oil storage caverns 2 are spaced apart, and all oil storage caverns 2 are connected by multiple connecting tunnels, and the vertical shaft 1 is connected to the oil storage caverns 2; each oil storage cavern 2 is provided with multiple oil and gas pipes 4, and each oil and gas pipe 4 corresponds one-to-one with a connecting tunnel, one end of each oil and gas pipe 4 extends to the intersection of the corresponding connecting tunnel and the oil storage cavern 2, and the other end extends to the vertical shaft 1 for venting; each oil storage cavern 2 is provided with multiple nitrogen injection pipes 5 that correspond one-to-one with the oil and gas pipes 4, and each nitrogen injection pipe 5 corresponds one-to-one with a connecting tunnel, the outlet end of each nitrogen injection pipe 5 extends to the intersection of the corresponding connecting tunnel and the oil storage cavern 2, and the inlet end extends to the vertical shaft 1 for introducing nitrogen.

[0047] In this embodiment, each of the oil storage caverns 2 is provided with multiple pipe groups 3, and each pipe group 3 corresponds to a connecting roadway. One end of each pipe group 3 extends to the intersection of the corresponding connecting roadway and the oil storage cavern 2, and the other end extends to the vertical shaft 1. Each pipe group 3 includes corresponding oil and gas pipes 4 and nitrogen injection pipes 5.

[0048] In this embodiment, each oil storage chamber 2 is equipped with an oil and gas pipe 4 and a nitrogen injection pipe 5 at the intersection with the connecting roadway. The distributed arrangement avoids gas short circuit between the nitrogen inlet and the gas outlet, and can significantly reduce the duration of the nitrogen replacement cycle. At the same time, this arrangement ensures sufficient replacement and avoids safety hazards.

[0049] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, each of the oil and gas pipes 4 is provided with a first flow meter 6, a first control valve 7, a sampling pipe 8, and a sampling valve 17 provided on the sampling pipe 8. The first flow meter 6 is used to monitor the flow rate in the oil and gas pipe 4, the first control valve 7 is used to adjust the flow rate in the oil and gas pipe 4, the sampling pipe 8 is connected to the oxygen content analyzer 9 and is used to sample the oxygen content analyzer 9, and the sampling valve 17 is used to open or close the sampling pipe 8; each of the nitrogen injection pipes 5 is provided with a second flow meter 10 and a second control valve 11. The second flow meter 10 is used to monitor the flow rate in the nitrogen injection pipe 5, and the second control valve 11 is used to adjust the flow rate in the nitrogen injection pipe 5.

[0050] In this embodiment, the flow rate in the oil and gas pipe 4 is monitored by the first flow meter 6, and the flow rate in the nitrogen injection pipe 5 is monitored by the second flow meter 10. When the value monitored by the second flow meter 10 is significantly greater than the value monitored by the first flow meter 6, it indicates that the pressure at the corresponding location of the oil storage cavern is high, posing a danger. At this time, the opening of the first control valve 7 can be increased and / or the opening of the second control valve 11 can be decreased. If there is no improvement, it indicates that the oil and gas pipe 4 is blocked and needs to be repaired in time. At the same time, the total amount of nitrogen introduced into all oil storage caverns 2 can be obtained by monitoring the values ​​of all the second flow meters 10. One end of the sampling pipe 8 is connected to the oil and gas pipe 4, and the other end is connected to the oxygen content analyzer 9. By opening the sampling valve 17, the sampling pipe 8 can obtain the flow rate in the oil and gas pipe 4, thereby sampling the oxygen content analyzer 9.

[0051] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, a nitrogen main pipe 15 is further included. The nitrogen main pipe 15 is disposed within the vertical shaft 1, and the inlet ends of all the nitrogen injection pipes 5 are connected to the nitrogen main pipe 15. One end of the nitrogen main pipe 15 extends out of the vertical shaft 1, and the other end is connected to all the nitrogen injection pipes 5, to avoid pipeline confusion within the vertical shaft 1. And / or; it also includes an oil and gas main pipe 16, which is disposed within the vertical shaft 1, and the exhaust ends of all the oil and gas pipes 4 are connected to the oil and gas main pipe 16. One end of the oil and gas main pipe 16 extends out of the vertical shaft 1, and the other end is connected to all the oil and gas pipes 4, to avoid pipeline confusion within the vertical shaft 1.

[0052] This embodiment is not limited to this; it may also be that all of the nitrogen injection pipes 5 extend out of the vertical shaft 1, or all of the oil and gas pipes 4 extend out of the vertical shaft 1.

[0053] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, three connecting tunnels are provided, namely a first connecting tunnel 12, a second connecting tunnel 13, and a third connecting tunnel 14; along the length direction of the oil storage cavern 2, the distance between the first connecting tunnel 12 and the vertical shaft 1 is D1, the distance between the second connecting tunnel 13 and the vertical shaft 1 is D2, and the distance between the third connecting tunnel 14 and the vertical shaft 1 is D3, and D1 < D2 < D3.

[0054] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the height of the oil storage cavern 2 is H, the first connecting tunnel 12 is located at 2 / 3H-H of the oil storage cavern 2, the second connecting tunnel 13 is located at 1 / 3H-2 / 3H of the oil storage cavern 2, and the third connecting tunnel 14 is located at 0-1 / 3H of the oil storage cavern 2.

[0055] In this embodiment, by setting up three connecting tunnels at different heights, effective communication between multiple oil storage chambers 2 can be ensured, improving the flexibility of storage and transportation.

[0056] In this embodiment, two or three oil storage chambers 2 are preferably provided, but not limited to this, and other numbers are also possible.

[0057] In this embodiment, taking the example of setting three oil storage caverns 2, there are nine pipeline groups 3, that is, nine oil and gas pipes 4 and nine nitrogen injection pipes 5.

[0058] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the length of the oil storage chamber 2 is L, the height of the oil storage chamber 2 is H, and the width of the oil storage chamber 2 is W, where L≥15×H and 0.5H≤W≤H. This arrangement facilitates construction and structural design. The reason for this limitation is that if the oil storage chamber 2 is too short, the cross-sectional area is large, making gas replacement easier, and a relatively long and thin oil storage chamber 2 is more effective. The longer and thinner the oil storage chamber 2, the longer the gas flow path, and the less likely it is to achieve satisfactory replacement.

[0059] In an optional technical solution of this embodiment, the portion of the nitrogen injection pipe 5 located inside the oil storage chamber 2 and the portion of the oil-gas pipe 4 located inside the oil storage chamber 2 are both located at the top of the oil storage chamber 2. This prevents the nitrogen injection pipe 5 and the oil-gas pipe 4 from being submerged after the oil storage chamber 2 is filled with oil.

[0060] This embodiment provides a nitrogen replacement method for a large underground cavern system, which is used in the aforementioned large underground cavern system. Therefore, the technical advantages and effects achieved by the nitrogen replacement method for the large underground cavern system include those achieved by the aforementioned large underground cavern system, which will not be repeated here.

[0061] The nitrogen replacement method includes the following steps:

[0062] S1, the sampling pipe 8 on each oil and gas pipe 4 is closed through the sampling valve 17, and nitrogen is introduced into all nitrogen injection pipes 5;

[0063] S2, open the sampling tube 8 on each oil and gas pipe 4 through the sampling valve 17 to start sampling, and use the oxygen content analyzer 9 to detect the oxygen content of the gas in each sampling tube 8.

[0064] S3, calculate the average value of the gas oxygen content in all sampling tubes 8;

[0065] S4. When the average oxygen content in all sampling tubes 8 is between 2% and 5%, stop supplying nitrogen to all nitrogen injection tubes 5.

[0066] In this embodiment, the nitrogen replacement method described above can effectively reduce the replacement time while ensuring thorough replacement.

[0067] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, a judgment and adjustment step is further included, the judgment and adjustment step including:

[0068] Compare the oxygen content of the gas in each sampling tube 8 with the average oxygen content of the gas in all sampling tubes 8. If the oxygen content of the gas in any sampling tube 8 exceeds 10% of the average oxygen content of the gas in all sampling tubes 8, then increase the opening of the first control valve 7 on the oil and gas pipe 4 corresponding to this sampling tube 8 and increase the opening of the second control valve 11 on the nitrogen injection pipe 5 corresponding to this oil and gas pipe 4.

[0069] Sampling tube 8 whose oxygen content exceeds 10% of the average oxygen content of all sampling tubes 8 is detected by oxygen content analyzer 9. When the oxygen content of the gas in this sampling tube 8 is within ±10% of the average oxygen content of all sampling tubes 8, the opening of the first control valve 7 on the oil and gas pipe 4 corresponding to this sampling tube 8 and the opening of the second control valve 11 on the nitrogen injection pipe 5 corresponding to this oil and gas pipe 4 are restored.

[0070] In this embodiment, the determination and adjustment step is performed after step S3. The determination and adjustment step can effectively ensure the nitrogen replacement effect and safety.

[0071] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, step S2 further includes: obtaining the total amount of nitrogen introduced into all oil storage chambers 2 through the second flow meter 10 on each nitrogen injection pipe 5; when the total amount of nitrogen introduced accounts for 70%-99% of the total volume of all oil storage chambers 2, opening the sampling pipe 8 on each oil and gas pipe 4 through the sampling valve 17 to start sampling, and detecting the oxygen content of the gas in each sampling pipe 8 through the oxygen content analyzer 9.

[0072] In this embodiment, sampling begins after the total amount of nitrogen introduced reaches 70%-99% of the total volume of all oil storage chambers 2, ensuring that a certain amount of nitrogen is present in the oil storage chambers 2. Sampling data obtained at this point is more accurate, effectively guaranteeing the reliability of the judgment and adjustment steps. Preferably, sampling begins after the total amount of nitrogen introduced reaches 80% of the total volume of all oil storage chambers 2, yielding even better results.

[0073] 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 or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
