The offshore seabed geological structure is suitable for large-scale storage, and the key emission reduction areas and industries are densely distributed in coastal cities, which is an ideal place to store CO2. 2 CO 2 The construction and operation costs of submarine geological storage are high. The conventional method to reduce costs is to use existing oil and gas exploration data and equipment for site selection and engineering design of carbon dioxide storage. By appropriately modifying existing platforms, drilling rigs, pipelines and other equipment for carbon dioxide transportation and storage, the infrastructure costs of offshore storage can be significantly reduced and the construction period can be shortened.
[0004] The CCUS process typically involves injecting CO into depleted oil and gas reservoirs. 2 The common advantage of these processes is that they have high efficiency due to their high injection capacity into high permeability reservoirs, but the common disadvantage is the risk of CO2 leakage through the wellbore. 2 Risk of leakage, CO 2 It is usually injected into the cold seafloor waters in liquid form. 2 Injection cases include the Sleipnir project in the Norwegian Sea, which started in 1996, the Hokkaido project, which started in 2016, and projects in other areas.

[0033] Figure 1 The present invention triggers CO 2 Simplified phase diagram for optimal hydrate formation. Equilibrium curves based on public domain data. Under isobaric conditions, seawater and CO 2 Formation of CO 2 Hydrates are affected by cooling. The point above the equilibrium curve depends on the hydrostatic pressure of the in-situ seawater. Under high pressure and low temperature conditions, small gas molecules are fixed in the crystal cage composed of water molecules to form solid hydrates. Figure 1 Phase diagrams for CO2 and natural gas are compared. If seafloor conditions (pressure and temperature) are above the CO2 equilibrium curve, CO2 hydrates are expected to form. The rate of hydrate formation depends on seafloor conditions and the degree of mixing of the gas with seawater. This principle has been verified in previous studies. However, it takes time for CO2 molecules to fully contact water molecules to form hydrates. If CO2 is released directly to the seafloor, the free CO2 will rise because its density is lower than that of water. Even if CO 2 During the rising process, it will dissolve in the sea water and will also have a negative impact on the sea water environment.
[0034] The equipment of the present invention is installed on a ship 1, wherein the CO 2 Through liquid CO 2 Connecting device 2 to CO 2 Tank 3, through CO 2 Cooler 4 cools to increase density, pump CO 2 Pump 5 into flexible hose 6, into CO 2 The spray head 7 can disperse the liquid CO more evenly by driving the stirring paddle 18 through the variable frequency motor 17 inside the spray head. 2 , to prevent CO 2 Liquid gathers in large quantities in the nozzle to form hydrates. Dispersed liquid CO 2The injected CO is fully injected into the seabed through the nozzle 8. Due to the Joule-Thomson cooling effect, the injected CO 2 The flow should be in a super-cold state and immediately form CO with seawater 2 Hydrate. The flow meter shows that the liquid CO 2 The temperature and pressure sensor 20 obtains the pressure and temperature of the nozzle, and determines the current need to transport liquid CO according to the hydrate formation conditions. 2 The CO is controlled by the first check valve 16-1 and the first flow meter 15-1. 2 The flow rate is used to ensure the hydrate formation rate. When hydrates block the nozzle, the second one-way valve 16-2 and the second flow meter 15-2 are used to control the injection of hydrate inhibitors to prevent and control hydrates or to remove blockages. The inhibitor container is connected to the sensor to ensure timely replenishment of the inhibitor capacity to ensure the normal operation of the device. If a part of the carbon dioxide flow is still free, it should form hydrates under the buffer plate 9. The depth control chamber 10 will receive the readings of the sonar depth sounder 11 and adjust the position of the injection head 7 to keep it close to the seabed. When free CO is detected, 2 When CO 2 Monitoring room 12 receives CO 2 The reading of detector 13 is sent to the CO 2 The pump controller sends a signal to reduce CO 2 Injection rate. The formed CO2 hydrate should remain on the seafloor because of its higher density than seawater.
[0035] See also Figure 3 The ship is mobile and is loaded with a hose from the carrier to the CO 2 Liquid CO in storage tanks 2 The carbon dioxide is pressurized and encrypted by a cooling machine, so that the carbon dioxide reaches a supercritical state, that is, it is converted from gas to liquid. 2 The pump pumps into the hose and into the injection head. Due to the Joule-Thomson effect, CO 2 The gas expands through the porous plug injection nozzle causing a temperature change, forming CO 2 The gas transmission process does not require drilling and the hose cost is low.

[0037] Figure 5 CO of the present invention 2 Schematic diagram of the monitoring system. 2Regardless of the form in which the gas is stored in the ocean, there will be some degree of leakage. 2 The release process of CO is extremely slow, but its leakage risk cannot be ignored, including leakage during transportation and injection before sealing. 2 Once leaked, it will first cause ocean acidification, then destroy the balance of the marine ecosystem and threaten the diversity of marine life. 2 Detector detects seawater CO 2 Indicator concentration, pH value and other parameters, these parameters will be accompanied by CO 2 The leakage changes synchronously, and the detector detects the change of indicators and uploads it to the CO 2 Detection chamber, thereby quickly adjusting CO 2 The pumping rate is high to protect the marine environment.
[0038] See also Figure 6 A variable frequency motor 17 is arranged inside the nozzle to drive a stirring paddle 18 to stir and disperse the liquid CO 2 , to prevent CO 2 Liquid gathers in the nozzle to form hydrates, which block the nozzle. 2 The injected CO is fully injected into the seabed through the nozzle 8. Due to the Joule-Thomson cooling effect, the injected CO 2 The flow should be in a super-cold state and immediately form CO with seawater 2 Hydrate. The first flow meter 15-1 shows the flow of liquid CO 2 The temperature and pressure sensor 20 transmits the pressure and temperature data of the nozzle to the CO 2 Monitoring room; CO 2 The monitoring room controls the first check valve 16-1 to control the liquid CO through the hydrate formation conditions. 2 rate to ensure the hydrate formation rate. 2 Hydrate blocked the nozzle, temperature and pressure sensor data were abnormal, CO 2 The monitoring room controls to open the one-way valve 16-2, injects hydrate inhibitor into the nozzle, and performs hydrate prevention and control or unblocking. The liquid level sensor is responsible for transmitting information to the control room to replenish the container inhibitor in time, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the device. If a part of the carbon dioxide flow is still free, it should form hydrates under the buffer plate 9.
[0039] In the present invention, the ship is loaded with CO 2 Carrier or pipeline hose to CO 2 Liquid CO in tank 3 2 Liquid CO 2The carbon dioxide is cooled by the cooler 4 to increase its density. The cooled carbon dioxide is pumped into the hose 6 by the pump 5 and enters the injection head 7. The carbon dioxide is stirred and dispersed by the stirring paddle and expands through the injection nozzle 8. Due to the Joule-Thomson cooling effect, the injected CO 2 The flow should be further cooled to below seawater temperature, thereby immediately forming CO 2 Hydrate. If there is excess carbon dioxide, hydrate will form under the buffer plate 9. The depth control room 10 receives the sea depth data from the sonar sounder 11 and adjusts the position of the injection head 7 to make it close to the seabed. 2 Monitoring room 12 receives the information from CO 2 The data of detector 13, when free carbon dioxide is detected, is sent to CO 2 The pump controller sends a signal to reduce CO 2 Injection rate. CO formed 2 Hydrates remain on the seafloor because they are denser than seawater. The ship will proceed slowly as needed.
