Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of marine engineering technology, and in particular to a dynamic response monitoring device for an in-service marine riser. Background Art
[0002] Marine risers are key equipment that connects subsea oil and gas wells to offshore platforms. They are used to transport oil and gas, inject fluids, and control downhole equipment. In actual operation, marine risers are subject to multiple environmental factors such as ocean currents and top platforms. Under the influence of such complex and multiple environments, marine risers face the risk of structural strength damage and fatigue damage. Marine risers are the weakest link in the entire oil and gas development system. Once damaged, they will cause great environmental disasters and casualties. Therefore, real-time monitoring of the dynamic response of marine risers is of great significance to ensuring the safety of risers and offshore oil and gas development.
[0003] At present, the academic and engineering circles at home and abroad have very limited knowledge of dynamic response monitoring technology for actual marine risers in service working conditions. A patent in 2021 (ZL202110895197.X) provides a wireless remote-controlled multi-point mechanical synchronous monitoring method for deep-water drilling risers. This method uses multi-point acoustic wireless measurement and communication technology to achieve synchronous measurement of multi-point motion. A patent in 2023 (CN202311718320.6) proposed a real-time joint monitoring system for risers using distributed optical fiber and ultra-short baselines. The optical fiber is attached to the surface of the riser, and the limited-node ultra-short baseline uses acoustic communication to realize the position and posture information of key nodes. In addition, in the traditional wired testing method of resistance strain gauges, the strain gauges are polished and pasted to realize the testing of the surface strain of the structure. The above response monitoring method has the following technical limitations: (1) Acoustic communication measurement cannot achieve long-distance transmission and is difficult to apply to ultra-deepwater risers (water depth greater than 3000m); (2) Acoustic communication has poor anti-interference and anti-noise capabilities, and the signal is easily contaminated; (3) Traditional resistance strain gauge and optical fiber strain gauge testing methods are difficult to implement, and there is no condition for grinding and pasting strain gauges on the riser surface, making installation difficult; (4) The resistance strain test method is difficult to make watertight, the wired transmission distance is short, and the anti-electromagnetic interference capability is poor; (5) Seawater is highly corrosive, the response monitoring equipment lacks protection, and it is difficult to operate and maintain for a long time.

[0061] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The following embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention in any form. It should be noted that, for those of ordinary skill in the art, several changes and improvements can also be made without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
[0062] The present invention discloses an in-service marine riser dynamic response monitoring device, which comprises a monitoring device fixing module, a sensor system module, a synchronous acquisition module and an equipment protection module. The sensor system module is installed at different positions of the riser through the monitoring device fixing module. The device is easy to install and use, and there is no need to grind the seabed riser during installation. The device is small in size and light in weight, and has little influence on the hydrodynamic characteristics of the marine riser after installation.
[0063] The in-service marine riser dynamic response monitoring equipment provided by the present invention comprises a monitoring equipment fixing module, a sensor system module and a synchronous acquisition module 21, wherein the monitoring equipment fixing module is rigidly connected to different positions of the riser 6 to be tested; the sensor system module comprises a GPS locator 20, an inclinometer 7 and a fiber Bragg grating strain gauge 10, the GPS locator 20 is fixed on the top platform, and the inclinometer 7 and the fiber Bragg grating strain gauge 10 are rigidly connected to the monitoring equipment fixing module; the synchronous acquisition module 21 is installed on the top platform and is signal-connected to the GPS locator 20, the inclinometer 7 and the fiber Bragg grating strain gauge 10, and is used for synchronously receiving and recording and storing GPS motion signals, fiber Bragg grating strain gauge signals and inclinometer signals.
[0064] Furthermore, the in-service marine riser dynamic response monitoring equipment can be fixed to any position of the marine riser through a monitoring equipment fixing module. The monitoring equipment fixing module includes an upper clamp 1, a lower clamp 2, a strain gauge protection device 4, and a nut.
[0065] Furthermore, the upper clamp 1 and the lower clamp 2 are respectively composed of two semicircular hoops, and the two semicircular hoops 11 are clamped and fixed on the standpipe 6 to be tested by the first fixing bolts 3. The upper clamp 1 and the lower clamp 2 are both of uniform thickness, and have rounded corners on both the inner and outer surfaces. Through holes penetrating the upper and lower surfaces are opened thereon, serving as mounting holes 12 for mounting and fixing the elastic body base; a plurality of waist holes 13 and threaded holes penetrating the inner and outer surfaces are opened between the upper and lower surfaces of the clamp.
[0066] Furthermore, the strain gauge protection block 41 is an I-shaped structure in cross section, and can be used with the positioning block 42 and the positioning bolt 43 to determine the spacing between the upper and lower clamps, ensuring that the fiber Bragg grating strain gauge 10 does not deform before use. When in use, the upper and lower surfaces of the strain gauge protection block 41 are in close contact with the upper surface of the upper clamp 1 and the lower surface of the lower clamp 2, respectively. After the monitoring device is installed, the strain gauge protection device 4 should be removed, and the monitoring device can work.
[0067] Furthermore, the elastomeric base 5 is a columnar structure which is slightly thicker at both ends and slightly narrower in the middle. Both ends of the elastomeric base 5 should be inserted into the mounting holes 12 of the upper and lower clamps, and fixed by the fixing holes 14 at the waist of the clamp and the second fixing bolts 8. There are 4 groups of elastomeric bases 5 in each set of equipment, which are respectively installed at the 0°, 90°, 180° and 270° positions of the circular cross-section of the riser.
[0068] Furthermore, the fiber grating strain gauge 10 is pasted on the elastomer base 5. The bending stiffness of the elastomer is much smaller than that of the riser. The fiber grating strain gauges 10 at the same position of different equipment are connected in series through the optical fiber transmission line 9. The inclinometer 7 is fixed to the fixture by bolts and connected to the demodulator 22 on the platform through the transmission line to measure the torsion angle of the riser at this position and correct the strain signal. The GPS locator 20 is fixed on the top platform as the coordinate origin O, and the global coordinate system is constructed with the water depth as the Z axis, the bow direction of the calm water platform as the X axis, and the vertical bow direction as the Y axis. The strain response measured by the elastomer can be transformed to obtain the strain response of the marine riser at the interface position. The elastic body is arranged at the four quadrants of the cross section and the fiber grating strain gauge 10 is pasted. The measured strains are expressed as: ε a1 ,ε a2 ,ε b1 ,ε b2 Among them, ε a1 ,ε a2 On the opposite side of the cross section along the X direction, ε b1 ,ε b2 On the opposite side of the cross section along the Y direction. The strain response measured by each strain gauge can be expressed as:
[0069] ε a1 =ε b-a +ε Ta +ε a01 ,
[0070] ε a2 =-ε b-a +ε Ta +ε a02 ,
[0071] ε b1 =ε b-b +ε Tb +ε b01 ,
[0072] ε b2 =-ε b-b +ε Tb +ε b02 ,
[0073] In the formula, ε b-a ,ε b-b Respectively represent the bending strains in two perpendicular directions at the cross section; ε Ta ,ε Tb Respectively represent the tensile strains in two perpendicular directions at the cross section; ε a01 ,ε a02 ,ε b01 ,ε b02 They represent the initial strain values of the four fiber Bragg grating strain gauges 10 respectively.
[0074] Furthermore, the optical fiber connects in series the fiber grating strain gauge 10, the inclinometer 7 and the GPS locator 20 on the same side. The optical fiber transmits the strain signal, the inclinometer signal and the GPS locator signal to the demodulator 22 for demodulation in real time, converts them into data signals and is synchronously stored by the host computer 23, thereby realizing real-time monitoring of the dynamic response of the marine riser.
[0075] Furthermore, the host computer 23 is embedded with a strain calculation algorithm. As mentioned above, the strains measured by the fiber grating strain gauge 10 at the four quadrants are respectively expressed as ε a1 ,ε a2 ,ε b1 ,ε b2 The distance between the center of the riser section and the elastic body surface is R, and the radius of the riser is r. Due to the installation of the fixed module of the monitoring equipment at each section and the real-time twisting of the actual marine riser, the rotation angle response between the actual position of the strain gauge and the X-axis of the global coordinate system is θ. From the above, the dynamic bending strain ε of the riser in the X and Y directions at each section position in the unified global coordinate system is x ,ε y It can be expressed as:
[0076]
[0077] Among them, the bending strains ε in two perpendicular directions at the cross section are b-a ,ε b-b It can be expressed as
[0078]
[0079] This achieves the conversion between the strain measured by the strain gauge and the riser bending strain.
[0080] Furthermore, the equipment protection module is an active metal block, which is fixed on the fixing module and achieves the function of preventing equipment from rusting through the sacrificial anode method, thereby meeting the demand for long-term work.
[0081] This example is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0082] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment includes an upper fixture 1, a lower fixture 2, a first fixing bolt 3, a strain gauge protection device 4, an elastic base 5 and a fiber grating strain gauge 10. The upper and lower fixtures serve as the main body of the device, supporting the entire device, and fixing the device on the standpipe to be tested through the cooperation of the first fixing bolt 3.
[0083] like Figure 2As shown, when the device is installed on the riser 6 to be tested, the strain gauge protection device 4 should be removed and the strain gauge should be installed through the strain gauge fixing bolts, and the inclinometer 7 is installed on the upper fixture 1 to measure the inclination of the riser at the location of the device.
[0084] like Figure 3 As shown, the upper and lower clamps are composed of two semicircular hoops 11, which are provided with mounting holes 12, waist holes 13 and fixing holes 14. The mounting holes 12 are used to mount the elastic body base 5, and are fixed through the fixing holes 14.
[0085] like Figure 4 As shown, the strain gauge protection device 4 is composed of a strain gauge protection block 41, a positioning block 42 and a positioning bolt 43. The strain gauge protection block 41 is an I-shaped structure in cross section. When in use, the upper and lower surfaces of the strain gauge protection block 41 are closely attached to the upper surface of the upper fixture 1 and the lower surface of the lower fixture 2 by adjusting the positioning bolt 43, ensuring that the height between the upper and lower fixtures is greater than or equal to the elastic base 5, so as to prevent the fiber Bragg grating strain gauge 10 attached to the elastic base 5 from being deformed before use.
[0086] like Figure 5 As shown, the synchronous acquisition module includes an optical fiber transmission line 9, a demodulator 22 and a host computer 23. The demodulator 22 demodulates the signals from the fiber grating strain gauge 10, the inclinometer 7 and the GPS, and uploads them to the host computer 23. The host computer 23 is embedded with a strain calculation algorithm to convert the strain measured by the strain gauge into the bending strain of the marine riser, thereby realizing real-time acquisition and monitoring of the marine riser.
[0087] like Figure 6 As shown, the in-service marine riser dynamic response monitoring equipment can be fixed at any position of the marine riser 6 to be tested by the monitoring equipment fixing module. The strain gauge 10, the inclinometer and the GPS signal are transmitted to the synchronous acquisition module 21 through the transmission line 9.
[0088] like Figure 7 As shown, the GPS locator 20 is fixed on the top platform as the coordinate origin O, with the water depth as the Z axis, the bow direction of the calm water platform as the X axis, and the direction perpendicular to the bow as the Y axis, to construct a global coordinate system. Elastic bodies are arranged at the four quadrants of the cross section and fiber Bragg grating strain gauges 10 are attached. The measured strains are expressed as: ε a1 ,ε a2 ,ε b1 ,ε b2 Among them, ε a1 ,ε a2 On the opposite side of the cross section along the X direction, ε b1 ,ε b2On the opposite side of the cross section along the Y direction. The strain response measured by each strain gauge can be expressed as:
[0089] ε a1 =ε b-a +ε Ta +ε a01 ,
[0090] ε a2 =-ε b-a +ε Ta +ε a02 ,
[0091] ε b1 =ε b-b +ε Tb +ε b01 ,
[0092] ε b2 =-ε b-b +ε Tb +ε b02 ,
[0093] In the formula, ε b-a ,ε b-b Respectively represent the bending strains in two perpendicular directions at the cross section; ε Ta ,ε Tb Respectively represent the tensile strains in two perpendicular directions at the cross section; ε a01 ,ε a02 ,ε b01 ,ε b02 Represent the initial strain values of the four fiber grating strain gauges respectively. The host computer 23 is embedded with a strain calculation algorithm to convert the strain measured by the strain gauge into the bending strain of the riser. The surface of the elastomer 5 has a cross-section center distance of R with the riser 6, and the radius of the riser is r. Due to the installation of the fixed module of the monitoring equipment at each section and the real-time twisting of the actual marine riser, the rotation angle response between the actual position of the strain gauge and the X-axis of the global coordinate system is θ. From the above, the dynamic bending strain ε of the riser in the X and Y directions at each cross-section position in the unified global coordinate system is x ,ε y It can be expressed as:
[0094]
[0095] Among them, the bending strains ε in two perpendicular directions at the cross section are b-a ,ε b-b It can be expressed as
[0096]
[0097] The production and installation process of this example is as follows:
[0098] Before use, select the upper and lower clamps with appropriate inner diameters according to the diameter of the riser 6 to be tested, the specific use environment, and economic efficiency, and determine the number and layout of the equipment. Prepare enough sensors and transmission lines of appropriate length according to the equipment layout plan. After the device is prepared, the detailed installation steps are as follows:
[0099] Before installing the equipment, the strain gauge positioning bolts 43 should be adjusted to make the upper and lower surfaces of the strain gauge protection block 41 close to the upper surface of the upper clamp 1 and the lower surface of the lower clamp 2 respectively, and ensure that the distance between the upper and lower clamps is greater than the length of the elastic base 5 to prevent the strain gauge on the elastic base 5 from deforming before use. During installation, it should be inserted into the mounting holes 12 in the upper and lower clamps and fixed with bolts.
[0100] When installing the equipment on the riser, first remove the marine organisms or soil attached to the surface of the riser to ensure that there are no foreign objects in the installation area. Then open the first fixing bolt 3 between the two circular hoops of the upper and lower clamps, insert the device into the installation position of the riser to be tested and ensure that the two semi-circular hoops 11 are aligned. After completion, screw the fixing nut into the fixing nut bolts of the upper and lower clamps to fix the equipment. Then unscrew the positioning bolt 43 of the strain gauge protection device 4, remove the strain gauge protection block and the positioning block 42, and install the inclinometer 7 and the active metal block at the appropriate positions of the upper and lower clamps. After the installation is completed, Figure 2 shown.
[0101] After all equipment is installed, the transmission line is arranged. The transmission line is an optical fiber inside and wrapped with a heat shrink tube outside. One end of the optical fiber is connected to the synchronous acquisition module 21, and the other end connects the fiber grating strain gauges 10 at the same position in series and connects the inclinometers 7 on each equipment. Figure 6 As shown, after the connection and testing are completed, the strain gauge and optical fiber are sealed to prevent seawater or corrosive substances from entering. This can achieve real-time acquisition and monitoring of the dynamic response of the marine riser.
