Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas gathering and transportation systems, and in particular to a crude oil electric dehydration system and a working method utilizing geothermal energy. Background Art
[0002] In the oil and gas gathering and transportation system, oil-water separation is a key link, which directly affects the quality of crude oil and the efficiency of subsequent processing. With the development of technology, people are constantly seeking more efficient and environmentally friendly oil-water separation technology.
[0003] Electric dehydration is an important oil-water separation technology widely used in oilfield surface gathering and transportation systems for treating crude oil emulsions. Its basic principle is to use the difference in electrical properties between oil and water phases through an external electric field to promote the migration, coalescence and sedimentation of water droplets in the oil, and finally achieve oil-water separation. However, the traditional crude oil electric dehydration system requires a large amount of electricity supply during operation, which leads to high energy consumption of the system and significantly increases the operating cost of oilfield surface projects; in addition, before entering the electric dehydration equipment, in order to improve the oil-water separation efficiency, the crude oil usually needs to be heated and pre-treated, which not only requires additional heating equipment and energy consumption, but also makes the operation process of the crude oil electric dehydration system complicated and the operation efficiency low.
[0004] Geothermal energy is an emerging renewable energy source with the advantages of low carbon dioxide emissions and being unaffected by weather and seasonal climate changes. It has good application prospects in the field of medium and low temperature heat supply and power generation. However, the heat and electricity produced by large-scale geothermal energy production systems cannot be used on-site and usually need to be exported to consumption locations, which leads to energy loss and increased facility construction and maintenance costs. Oilfield surface facilities, especially electric dehydration systems, usually require a large amount of energy supply, but existing geothermal energy production systems face some specific challenges when integrating. First, there is a difference between the output temperature of the existing system and the required temperature of the oilfield facilities, resulting in low energy conversion efficiency. Secondly, the traditional geothermal energy supply model is difficult to provide sufficient electricity and fails to fully meet the energy needs of crude oil electric dehydration, resulting in low overall energy utilization.
[0005] In summary, the current oilfield electric dehydration systems generally have defects such as high energy consumption, complex processes and high operating costs. The existing technology has not achieved effective integration of geothermal energy and oilfield electric dehydration, and it is difficult to solve the problem of insufficient energy utilization in the process of oil-water separation and geothermal energy consumption.

[0018] Example 1
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses a crude oil electric dehydration system using geothermal energy, and the main components of the system include a crude oil heating and separation system, a geothermal flash circulation system, and an organic Rankine cycle system. Among them, the electric dehydrator 3 included in the crude oil heating and separation system is connected to the first heat exchanger 2 through the cold flow inlet side, so that the crude oil emulsion can be heated and effectively separated from oil and water. The cold flow outlet side is connected to the second heat exchanger 5 to further increase the temperature of the dehydrated crude oil and reduce its viscosity, thereby reducing pipeline resistance and improving transportation efficiency. In the geothermal flash circulation system, the working fluid inlet side of the flash tank 8 is connected to the geothermal resource, the liquid phase outlet end is heated by the second heat exchanger 5 and the first heat exchanger 2 to heat the dehydrated crude oil and crude oil emulsion, and the gas phase outlet end is connected to the steam turbine expander 9, and the electric energy generated by steam expansion is used to power the electric dehydrator 3, ensuring the energy self-sufficiency of the system. In addition, in the organic Rankine cycle system, the organic working fluid pump 14 transports the working fluid to the third heat exchanger 10 and the organic Rankine turbine expander 15, completing the heat energy conversion and providing additional electric energy for the electric dehydrator 3. This overall architecture design effectively integrates the recycling of heat energy and electric energy, and improves the overall energy efficiency of the system.
[0020] The crude oil heating and separation system also includes a crude oil emulsion pump 1, which plays the role of lifting and conveying the crude oil emulsion. The working fluid outlet side of the pump is connected to the cold flow inlet side of the first heat exchanger 2, ensuring that the crude oil emulsion can quickly reach the required temperature when entering the first heat exchanger 2. At the same time, the cold flow outlet side of the first heat exchanger 2 is connected to the liquid inlet of the electric dehydrator 3, so that the crude oil emulsion that has been preheated can effectively enter the horizontal electric dehydrator 3 for further separation. The oil outlet of the horizontal electric dehydrator 3 is connected to the cold flow inlet side of the second heat exchanger 5, realizing the subsequent heating treatment of the dehydrated crude oil separated from the crude oil emulsion. Through this design, the first heat exchanger 2 uses the geothermal flash cycle system and the organic Rankine cycle system to preheat the crude oil emulsion, and the second heat exchanger 5 uses the geothermal flash cycle system to increase the transportation temperature of the dehydrated crude oil, and uses the geothermal flash cycle system and the organic Rankine cycle system to simultaneously power the electric dehydrator 3 to promote the efficiency of oil-water separation. This integrated heating and separation solution greatly improves the transportation efficiency of crude oil and effectively simplifies the dehydration process.
[0021] The cold flow outlet side of the second heat exchanger 5 is connected to the crude oil gathering and transportation network, while the water outlet of the electric dehydrator 3 is connected to the sewage treatment station. This configuration enables the dehydrated crude oil to be quickly sent to the gathering and transportation network for transportation, and the generated oily sewage is sent to the sewage treatment station in time, avoiding environmental pollution. By rationally allocating the fluids at different outlets, resource utilization is optimized, ensuring the compliance and efficiency of the system in terms of environmental protection, thereby promoting a balance between economic benefits and environmental protection.
[0022] In the geothermal flash circulation system, the liquid phase outlet end of the flash tank 8 is connected to the heat flow inlet side of the second heat exchanger 5, and the heat flow outlet side of the second heat exchanger 5 is connected to the heat flow inlet side of the first heat exchanger 2. This flow path design allows the geothermal water to undergo gas-liquid separation in the flash tank 8, and the generated liquid water is used to provide heat for the dehydration process, which effectively improves the thermal energy utilization efficiency of the system. At the same time, the gas phase outlet end of the flash tank 8 is connected to the steam turbine expander 9 to ensure that the steam can be effectively used to generate electricity, thereby providing electricity for the entire electric dehydrator 3. This layered design not only improves the heat exchange efficiency of the system, but also realizes the optimal utilization of energy obtained from geothermal resources, improving the economy and sustainability of the overall operation.
[0023] Furthermore, the geothermal flash circulation system also includes a geothermal water well 6, a throttle valve 7 and a geothermal heat pump 11, etc. The outlet side of the geothermal water well 6 is connected to the inlet side of the throttle valve 7, and the outlet side of the throttle valve 7 is connected to the working medium inlet side of the flash tank 8. This configuration allows the high-temperature water obtained from the geothermal water well 6 to enter the flash tank 8 through the throttle valve 7 for treatment, thereby achieving effective utilization of high-temperature water. At the same time, the hot flow outlet side of the third heat exchanger 10 is connected to the geothermal heat pump 11. This design not only optimizes the utilization efficiency of geothermal energy, but also provides a stable heat source for the entire crude oil dehydration system, ensuring the reliability and flexibility of the system under different working conditions.
[0024] The geothermal flash circulation system also includes a mixer 12 and a reinjection well 13. The top heat flow outlet side of the first heat exchanger 2 is connected to one inlet end of the mixer 12, and the outlet side of the geothermal pump 11 is connected to the other inlet end of the mixer 12. The outlet end of the mixer 12 leads to the reinjection well 13. This configuration allows the fluids after heat exchange to be mixed and reinjected, effectively realizing the cascade utilization of geothermal energy. Through the design of the reinjection well 13, geothermal water can be recycled, reducing the waste of geothermal energy and ensuring the sustainable development of the system. This closed-loop system design concept enhances the overall environmental performance of the system.
[0025] In the organic Rankine cycle system, the outlet side of the organic working fluid pump 14 is connected to the cold flow inlet side of the third heat exchanger 10, and the cold flow outlet side of the third heat exchanger 10 is connected to the inlet side of the organic Rankine turbine expander 15. This configuration allows the organic working fluid to absorb enough heat to complete gasification when passing through the third heat exchanger 10, and enter the turbine expander to generate electricity, providing electrical energy for the electric dehydrator 3. At the same time, the outlet side of the organic Rankine turbine expander 15 is connected to the hot flow inlet side of the first heat exchanger 2. Through this design, the generated exhaust gas can effectively recover heat for heating the crude oil emulsion that is about to enter the system. This efficient heat and power recovery design not only improves the energy efficiency ratio of the system, but also ensures self-sufficiency in power supply.
[0026] The working fluid in the organic Rankine cycle system can include a variety of commonly used organic working fluids, including but not limited to R245fa pentafluoropropane, R365mfc pentafluorobutane, n-Nonane n-nonane, n-Octane n-octane or n-Pentane n-pentane. These working fluids have good thermal conductivity and gasification capabilities, and can effectively convert heat energy at lower temperatures. By selecting a suitable working fluid, the stability and economy of the organic Rankine cycle can be ensured, so that the overall system can maintain efficient operation under different working conditions. The specific working fluid selection can be adjusted according to the actual operating conditions and economy to achieve optimal thermal efficiency and power output.
[0027] In this system, the working fluid inlet side of the crude oil emulsion pump 1 is crude oil emulsion, and its water content is not more than 30% by mass fraction, which ensures the control of the water content of the crude oil before entering the electric dehydrator 3, and helps to improve the subsequent separation efficiency. The working fluid of the oil outlet of the electric dehydrator 3 is dehydrated crude oil, and its water content is less than or equal to 0.5% by mass fraction, which ensures the quality of the final product. The working fluid of the water outlet of the electric dehydrator 3 is oily wastewater, and the oil content is not more than 1000mg / L, which meets the environmental protection standards. The setting of these parameters ensures the safety and environmental protection of the system during operation, so that each link of the crude oil dehydration process can meet the expected technical effects.

[0034] Example 2
[0035] Based on the working method of a crude oil electric dehydration system using geothermal energy in Example 1, the specific steps include sending the crude oil emulsion into the first heat exchanger 2, and preheating it using the geothermal water discharged from the second heat exchanger 5 and the exhaust gas released by the organic Rankine turbine expander 15. The heated crude oil emulsion then enters the electric dehydrator 3 for oil-water separation, and the separated dehydrated crude oil is heated again in the second heat exchanger 5 and enters the crude oil gathering and transportation network to complete the efficient transportation of crude oil.
[0036] The steam-water mixture extracted from the geothermal water well 6 is sent to the flash tank 8 for gas-liquid separation.

The separated steam is used to generate electricity and supply electricity to the electric dehydrator 3, ensuring energy self-sufficiency of the entire process. The exhaust gas is condensed by the third heat exchanger 10 and then injected back into the ground to complete the geothermal cycle.
[0037] After being pressurized, the organic working fluid is heated and gasified by the third heat exchanger 10, and enters the organic Rankine turbine expander 15 to generate electricity, which again provides electricity for the electric dehydrator 3, while the exhaust gas after power generation is cooled and liquefied in the first heat exchanger 2, and enters the next cycle to form an organic Rankine cycle.

The viscosity of the heated crude oil emulsion and the strength of the oil-water interface film are greatly reduced, and then it enters the horizontal electric dehydrator 3 through the liquid inlet I for efficient oil-water separation. The dehydrated crude oil separated from the crude oil emulsion is discharged from the oil outlet II, and is heated by geothermal water in the second heat exchanger 5 to reduce viscosity, and then passes into the crude oil gathering and transportation network to complete the crude oil heating and separation process.
[0040] The steam-water mixture extracted from the geothermal water well 6 is sent to the flash tank 8 for gas-liquid separation. The separated liquid water is used to heat the dehydrated crude oil and the crude oil emulsion in the second heat exchanger 5 and the first heat exchanger 2 respectively.
