Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of marine oil and gas engineering, and in particular to a method for analyzing suspended sand diffusion during the construction period of a submarine cable pipeline of a marine oil and gas engineering project. Background Art
[0002] Submarine cables and pipelines are an important part of marine oil and gas projects. They are responsible for signal transmission, data transmission, power supply, and the transportation of crude oil, natural gas, water and other materials between platforms. They are crucial to ensuring the smooth progress of marine oil and gas exploitation activities. Any engineering activities that may affect the marine environment require an environmental impact assessment. During the construction of submarine cables and pipelines, due to excavation, laying and other activities, seabed sediments may be disturbed, resulting in the diffusion of suspended sand, which in turn poses a potential threat to the water quality environment and benthic organisms. The diffusion of suspended sand may not only affect water quality and increase water turbidity, but may also affect the growth and habitat of marine organisms, causing adverse effects on the marine ecosystem. Therefore, accurately predicting the impact range of suspended sand diffusion during the construction period is of great significance for formulating effective environmental protection measures.
[0003] At present, the suspended sand diffusion during the construction period of submarine cables and pipelines in marine oil and gas projects is generally calculated by numerical model calculation methods. The usual practice is to set representative points for suspended sand diffusion calculation one by one at the turning points of the submarine cable and pipeline routes. After the source strength of the suspended sand diffusion is given, the influence range of the suspended sand diffusion of the representative points is calculated within 24 hours. By connecting the maximum influence envelope ranges of multiple representative points, the maximum influence envelope range of suspended sand during the construction period of the submarine cable and pipeline is obtained.
[0004] In the prior art, the traditional suspended sediment diffusion prediction method usually adopts numerical model calculation and sets the calculation representative point at the turning point of the submarine cable pipeline route. However, in actual construction, the overall construction time of the submarine cable pipeline may be several months, and the daily construction progress is also different. Therefore, the above numerical prediction method is easy to cause different calculators to have different understandings of the maximum diffusion influence envelope range of suspended sediment. The shapes of the maximum influence envelope range obtained are often different, and the values of the maximum influence envelope area obtained are also different, which in turn affects the accuracy of the prediction results. In addition, the suspended sediment diffusion is affected by the dynamic changes of natural factors such as water flow and tide, such as water flow velocity, sediment characteristics, etc., which leads to deviations in the prediction results. Therefore, reducing the impact of dynamic changes of natural factors and improving the accuracy of prediction results are the problems we need to solve now. Summary of the invention

In the method, dense and equally spaced representative points for calculating the suspended sand diffusion source strength are set, one for every 10 meters, thereby reducing the error caused by sparse or uneven selection of representative points in the prediction process. In addition, the calculation of representative points is started and terminated one by one according to the actual construction progress, thereby ensuring the synchronization of the prediction time and the construction activities, further reducing the influence of the time deviation on the prediction result, significantly reducing the prediction error of the suspended sand diffusion influence envelope range, and providing a more accurate basis for environmental impact assessment.

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0065] Embodiment 1, as Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention provides a method for analyzing suspended sand diffusion during the construction period of a submarine cable pipeline in an offshore oil and gas project, comprising the following steps:
[0066] Step 1: Collect marine environmental data of the construction area, and formulate an observation plan based on the construction characteristics and forecast needs to obtain representative points for calculating the suspended sediment diffusion source strength, where the marine environmental data includes historical data and real-time data; the process of obtaining representative points for calculating the suspended sediment diffusion source strength is to clarify the specific sea area location, boundary and scope of the construction, and determine the latitude and longitude coordinates, boundary lines, construction start and end time, total length and route of the submarine cable pipeline, and suspended sediment sources generated during construction activities according to the construction design documents of the submarine cable pipeline. Through marine observation stations, satellite remote sensing and deployment of wave buoy equipment, real-time monitoring and collection of marine environmental data such as flow velocity and flow direction, and obtain historical water depth and topographic data, historical hydrological data, historical wave data, and historical water quality and bottom data of the construction area through the database. The historical water depth and topographic data include historical water depth maps and topographic maps, the historical hydrological data include historical tides and current data, the historical wave data include historical wave statistics, and the historical water quality and bottom quality data include historical water quality monitoring data and bottom quality survey reports. According to the construction characteristics and forecast requirements, as well as the length of the submarine cable pipeline, a representative point for suspended sediment diffusion source strength calculation is set at intervals of 10m on the route of the submarine cable pipeline. The points should cover areas with different water depths, flow directions and flow velocities to fully reflect the situation of suspended sediment diffusion. Observations should be conducted during key periods during construction, such as construction peak periods and periods with significant tidal changes. A data record sheet should be established to record the time, location, environmental conditions, such as wind speed, wind direction, water flow velocity, etc., and observation results, such as suspended sediment concentration and water flow velocity, etc.;
[0067] Step 2: Based on the collected marine environment data and representative points for suspended sediment diffusion source strength calculation, relevant features are extracted and a suspended sediment diffusion prediction model is established. The construction process of the suspended sediment diffusion prediction model is as follows: the collected real-time data and historical data are cleaned and preprocessed, and features related to representative points for suspended sediment diffusion source strength calculation are extracted to obtain water velocity features, water flow direction features, wave features, water depth features and terrain features, and the water velocity features, water flow direction features, wave features, water depth features and terrain features are integrated to form a unified data set, and a suspended sediment diffusion prediction model is established. The integrated data set is divided into a training set, a validation set and a test set, and the suspended sediment diffusion prediction model is trained using the training set data, and the trained suspended sediment diffusion prediction model is verified using the validation set and test set data, and the performance of the suspended sediment diffusion prediction model is evaluated, and the trained suspended sediment diffusion prediction model is used to reflect the main impact of construction activities on suspended sediment diffusion, and the suspended sediment diffusion source strength of each representative point is analyzed;
[0068] Step 3, calculate each representative point of suspended sediment diffusion source strength calculation, and evaluate the maximum suspended sediment diffusion influence envelope range of each representative point of suspended sediment diffusion source strength calculation; the process of obtaining the maximum suspended sediment diffusion influence envelope range is: set the running time of the suspended sediment diffusion prediction model to the start and end time of the submarine cable pipeline construction, and configure it according to the construction design schedule, use the trained suspended sediment diffusion prediction model to calculate the suspended sediment diffusion situation of each representative point of suspended sediment diffusion source strength calculation, obtain the calculation results, extract the suspended sediment diffusion influence envelope of each representative point of suspended sediment diffusion source strength calculation from the calculation results, including the diffusion distance and diffusion area, which is usually a regional range containing the maximum suspended sediment concentration, and analyze the maximum suspended sediment diffusion influence envelope of each representative point of suspended sediment diffusion source strength calculation to determine its maximum influence range, maximum concentration value and influence direction, draw the isoconcentration lines of suspended sediment concentration based on the calculation results, and analyze the impact of construction activities on the marine environment based on the calculation results of suspended sediment diffusion source strength;
[0069] Furthermore, the running time of the suspended sediment diffusion prediction model is set to the start and end time of the submarine cable pipeline construction, and is configured according to the construction design schedule. According to the construction progress, each suspended sediment diffusion source strength calculation representative point is activated in turn for calculation. The time each representative calculation point participates in the calculation corresponds to the actual construction time of the 10m long cable pipeline. Once a section of 10m cable pipeline is completed, the representative calculation point corresponding to the section exits the calculation, and the next representative calculation point starts to participate in the calculation. This cycle continues until the calculation of the entire cable pipeline is completed. According to the calculation results of the suspended sediment diffusion source strength, the impact of the construction activities on the marine environment is analyzed, including the suspended sediment concentration exceeding the standard, the diffusion range, etc.
[0070] Step 4: predict the maximum suspended sediment diffusion impact envelope range of the entire submarine cable pipeline during the construction period, obtain the prediction results, obtain the water flow velocity index and sediment index, and analyze its potential impact on the water quality environment and benthic organisms; the process of obtaining the water flow velocity index and sediment index is as follows: calculate the maximum suspended sediment diffusion impact envelope of the representative point according to each suspended sediment diffusion source strength calculated previously, and integrate the discrete suspended sediment diffusion source strength calculation representative point results into a continuous suspended sediment diffusion impact envelope range map through spatial interpolation, such as Kriging interpolation, inverse distance weighted interpolation, etc., and use the suspended sediment diffusion prediction model to analyze the water flow velocity characteristics during and before and after the construction period, as well as the water depth characteristics and terrain characteristics of the construction area, to obtain the water flow velocity index and sediment index, and analyze the impact of different water flow velocities on suspended sediment diffusion. High-speed water flow may accelerate the diffusion of suspended sediment and expand the impact range. The scope of suspended sand diffusion is the same as that of the surrounding water; while low-speed water flow may make suspended sand deposit faster and reduce the diffusion range. The direct impact of suspended sand diffusion on the sediment cover and benthic habitat is evaluated. The cover of suspended sand will change the living environment of benthic organisms and affect their breathing, foraging and other behaviors. Combined with the envelope range of suspended sand diffusion, water flow velocity index and sediment index, the impact of suspended sand diffusion on water quality environment, such as turbidity increase and dissolved oxygen change, is evaluated. The potential impact of suspended sand diffusion on benthic population structure, diversity and ecological function is analyzed to obtain the risk assessment coefficient. According to the risk assessment coefficient, the risk level of different areas is divided and the corresponding risk assessment threshold is matched to provide a basis for the formulation of environmental protection measures. Corresponding environmental protection measures are formulated, such as adjusting the construction time, reducing the construction intensity, setting up protective facilities, etc., to reduce the impact of submarine cable and pipeline construction on water quality environment and benthic organisms;
[0071] Step 5, based on the prediction results, obtain the error value of the maximum diffusion impact envelope range, identify the main source of the error, and make targeted adjustments at the same time; the error value acquisition process is: input the characteristic data of water velocity characteristics, water flow direction characteristics, wave characteristics, water depth characteristics and terrain characteristics in the pre-processed historical data into the suspended sediment diffusion prediction model, calculate the water flow velocity index and sediment index respectively, evaluate the accuracy and completeness of the historical data, compare the predicted maximum diffusion impact envelope range with the water flow velocity index and sediment index based on the pre-processed historical data, obtain the error value, obtain the error analysis table, and adjust the suspended sediment diffusion prediction model according to the error analysis table to cope with the dynamic changes of environmental factors. For extreme weather or sea conditions, measures such as suspending construction can be taken to reduce the impact on the environment.
[0072] Embodiment 2, as Figure 1-3 As shown, based on Example 1, the present invention provides a technical solution: Preferably, the calculation formula of the water flow velocity index is:

[0075] The calculation formula of sediment index is:
[0076] ;
[0077] in, is the sediment index, is the concentration of a pollutant in the sediment, is the standard concentration limit of the pollutant, is the maximum particle size in the sediment, is the average particle size in the sediment, S is the sediment coverage area, A is the total area of the study area, and the concentration unit is , particle size unit is mm, area unit is ;
[0078] The calculation formula of risk assessment coefficient is:

[0081] Each risk level corresponds to a plurality of risk assessment thresholds, wherein the risk assessment thresholds include an upper threshold and a lower threshold;
[0082] Multiple risk levels and multiple risk assessment thresholds satisfy the following relationship:
[0083] Low risk level: When the comprehensive risk value of the assessed area is lower than a certain lower threshold, the area is considered to have low risk and may have little impact on the environment. No special attention or additional protective measures are required. At this risk level, the impact of suspended sediment diffusion on water quality and benthic organisms is relatively small, but monitoring is still required to ensure that construction activities meet environmental protection requirements. Water quality and benthic organism monitoring can be carried out regularly to promptly identify and deal with potential environmental problems;
[0084] Medium risk level: When the comprehensive risk value is between the lower threshold and the higher threshold, it is considered that the area has a medium risk and needs to pay attention to its impact on the environment. The frequency and accuracy of suspended sediment diffusion prediction can be increased, and more advanced prediction models and methods can be used to improve the accuracy of prediction results, such as setting up protective dikes and suspended curtains to block the spread of suspended sand. At the same time, environmental supervision during construction should be strengthened to ensure that various environmental protection measures are effectively implemented;
[0085] High risk level: When the comprehensive risk value is higher than the set higher threshold, the area is considered to have a high risk and may cause serious impact on the environment. At this time, it is necessary to immediately stop construction activities and take emergency measures to control the scope and extent of suspended sand diffusion. Further measures: Initiate emergency plans, including but not limited to increasing environmental monitoring stations, expanding the monitoring scope, and strengthening the storage and deployment of environmental emergency materials. At the same time, cooperate with environmental protection departments and relevant scientific research institutions to jointly study and formulate effective response measures to reduce the impact of suspended sand diffusion on the environment;
[0086] Among them, R is the risk assessment coefficient, is the upper threshold corresponding to the low risk level and the lower threshold corresponding to the medium risk level, The upper threshold corresponding to the medium risk level and the lower threshold corresponding to the high risk level;
[0087] The error value is calculated as follows:
[0088] ;
[0089] in, is the error value, is the predicted maximum diffusion impact envelope area, is the maximum diffusion impact envelope area actually observed, is the predicted water flow velocity index, The actual observed water flow velocity index, is the predicted sediment index, is the actual observed sediment index, is the standard value of the sediment index, Forecast area The standard deviation of The observation area The standard deviation of along with and The increase in the difference between the predicted area and the actual observed area directly reflects the mismatch between the predicted area and the actual observed area. Water velocity index and sediment index The difference between the predicted and observed values is amplified by the square operation, and the error increases further when both deviate from their standard values. The term takes into account the relative size of the uncertainty in the predicted area and the observed area. When the uncertainty in the prediction is much larger than the uncertainty in the observation, the value of this term will increase, further increasing the error.
