Description

[0003] As a vital transportation channel for the development of marine oil and gas resources, submarine pipelines play a key role in the transportation of oil and natural gas, enabling the transport of developed energy from one location to another. The main methods for laying submarine pipelines include: escrow, S-lay, J-lay, and reel-lay. The escrow method is suitable for shorter pipeline lengths and towing distances. S-lay has the largest pipe diameter and fastest laying speed, reel-lay has the smallest pipe diameter and uses flexible hoses, and J-lay has the slowest laying speed. S-lay is currently the most widely used method for laying submarine pipelines.

The designed route for a submarine pipeline is generally a straight line, an arc, or a combination of both.

[0044] See also Figures 1 to 6 The embodiment of the present application provides a positioning method for laying arc-shaped submarine pipelines, comprising the following steps:

[0045] Step S10: Select multiple monitoring points on the pipe-laying vessel 1 .

[0046] The pipe-laying vessel 1 is used for laying submarine pipelines, and the locations of the plurality of monitoring points on the pipe-laying vessel 1 are different. Figure 4 As shown, the designed route of the submarine pipeline is an arc route. The pipe-laying vessel 1 is provided with a measurement module and a control module.

[0047] Step S20: Determine the parameters of the arc routing.

[0048] The parameters of the arc route include the center O, the radius R0, the starting point A and the end point B, that is, the shape of the designed route is an arc segment from point A to point B.

[0049] Step S30: Calculate theoretical track lines of multiple monitoring points.

[0050] Step S40: using the measurement module and the control module to obtain the actual position of each monitoring point.

[0051] Step S50: Calculate the deviation between the actual position and the theoretical track line, and issue an early warning when the deviation exceeds a predetermined value.

[0052] The positioning method for laying submarine pipelines in an arc-shaped route provided in this embodiment selects multiple monitoring points on the pipe-laying vessel 1 and sets a measurement module and a control module on the pipe-laying vessel 1, so that the actual position of each monitoring point can be obtained during the pipe-laying process. After the parameters of the arc-shaped route are determined, the theoretical trajectory lines of the multiple monitoring points can be calculated based on the parameters of the arc-shaped route and the monitoring points, and the theoretical trajectory lines of different monitoring points will be different. Finally, the deviation between the actual position of the monitoring point and the theoretical trajectory line is calculated. When the deviation exceeds a predetermined value, an early warning is issued, so that the pipe-laying vessel 1 can lay the submarine pipeline along the optimal path on the arc-shaped route.

[0053] It should be noted that the order of step S10, step S20 and step S30 is not fixed and can be adjusted as needed, and these three steps can be completed before pipe laying. Step S40 and step S50 are performed during the pipe laying process.

[0054] In this embodiment, the number of monitoring points is preferably three. Too few monitoring points can lead to inaccurate monitoring. For example, if there are only two monitoring points, if a large deviation occurs during the operation of the pipelaying vessel 1, the positions of the two monitoring points may not show obvious deviation, and the operation cannot be stopped in time, resulting in the pipelaying path not meeting the requirements. Too many monitoring points will increase monitoring costs and is not conducive to improving construction efficiency.

[0055] In step S10, the pipe-laying vessel 1 is provided with a pipe 4 for laying pipes. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the pipe-laying vessel 1 is located on the sea surface 6. The monitoring points include a mud point Z, which is the position where the pipeline 4 contacts the seabed 7 when the pipe-laying vessel 1 is laying the pipe. The theoretical track line of the mud point Z completely coincides with the arc route.

[0056] In step S30, Figure 5 As shown, points are evenly selected from the starting point A on the arc route in an evenly spaced manner, and the central angle corresponding to the evenly spaced interval is recorded as The smaller the interval between the points, the more the trajectory coincides with the design route. When the number of points n tends to infinity, the trajectory completely coincides with the design route.

[0057] Among them, the equal division methods include equal central angle, equal arc length, and equal chord length. The angle of each part divided by the equal central angle method is recorded as , the length of each arc divided by equal arc length is recorded as , the length of each chord divided by equal chord length is recorded as , then the central angle The calculation formula is:

[0058] ;

[0059] In step S30, the center of the arc route is obtained according to the arc route design coordinates. ,starting point ,end , the radius of the arc routing is , then the i-th sampling point The calculation formula is: .

[0060] in, According to the sampling point Obtain the theoretical track line of the mud impact point Z. When i = 0, the sampling point is the starting point A; using the rounding down formula, n is the maximum number of sampling points, so that the point on the arc does not exceed the end point B.

[0061] Specifically, are the azimuths of OA and OB respectively, and the calculation method is:

[0062] ;

[0063] in, ;

[0064] ;

[0065] in, .

[0066] In step S10, the pipe-laying vessel 1 is provided with a stinger 5 for carrying the pipeline 4. The pipeline 4 on the pipe-laying vessel 1 enters the sea through the stinger 5. The monitoring point also includes the stinger endpoint T. The position of the stinger 5 and the pipe-laying vessel 1 is relatively fixed. Accordingly, in step S30, the i-th sampling point on the theoretical track line of the stinger endpoint T is The calculation formula is: .

[0067] in, represents the distance from the mud landing point Z to the end point T of the stinger in the hull coordinate system; represents the angle between the mud landing point Z and the stinger endpoint T in the hull coordinate system; For The tangent angle of the arc at the point.

[0068] Specifically, and The calculation formula is .in, is the coordinate of the mud impact point Z in the hull coordinate system, is the coordinate of the stinger endpoint T in the hull coordinate system. The coordinates of each monitoring point are known quantities and can be obtained by measuring on the pipe-laying vessel 1 using a steel ruler or a total station.

[0069] More specifically, The calculation formula is This formula has taken into account the different traveling directions of the pipe-laying vessel 1 and made a judgment in the system program.

[0070] when When , the sampling point is the end point B, then .

[0071] In step S10, the monitoring points also include pipeline welding point H. All three monitoring points are associated with pipeline 4 and represent the positions of pipeline 4 in different states. This allows for better monitoring of the actual position and prevents deviation of the pipelay vessel 1. A single pipeline 4 moves along a trajectory that links the pipelay vessel 1, stinger 5, sea surface 6, and seabed 7. After a pipeline 4 is installed on the seabed 7, a new pipeline 4 must be welded to the pipeline welding point H on the pipelay vessel 1.

[0072] In step S30, the i-th sampling point on the theoretical trajectory of the pipeline welding point H is The calculation formula is: .

[0073] in, represents the distance from the mud landing point Z to the pipeline welding point H in the hull coordinate system; Represents the angle between the mud landing point Z and the pipeline welding point H in the hull coordinate system; For The tangent angle of the arc at the point.

[0074] Specifically, and The calculation formula is .in, is the coordinate of the mud impact point Z in the hull coordinate system, is the coordinate of the pipeline welding point H in the hull coordinate system.

[0075] In this embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, all The line segment connecting the points in sequence is the theoretical track line of the mud impact point 8; The line segment connecting the points in sequence is the theoretical track line 9 of the stinger endpoint; The line segment connecting the points in sequence is the theoretical track line 10 of the pipeline welding point.

[0076] In this embodiment, the measurement module may include a GNSS locator 2 and a compass 3, where GNSS stands for Global Navigation Satellite System. GNSS locator 2 is used to monitor the actual positions of the plurality of monitoring points. Compass 3 is used to measure the heading of the pipe-laying vessel 1. Compass 3 and GNSS locator 2 complement each other in the navigation system, jointly providing accurate navigation information. Compass 3 provides basic heading indication in the absence of a GNSS locator 2 signal, while GNSS locator 2 provides precise location information of monitoring points when a signal is present. The combined use of the two can improve navigation reliability and accuracy.

[0077] In this embodiment, the control module is capable of calculating the theoretical track line for each monitoring point based on the parameters of the monitoring point and the arc route. The control module is connected to the measurement module and is configured to receive the actual position and heading measured by the measurement module, calculate the positional relationship between the actual position of each monitoring point and the theoretical track line, and calculate the deviation between the actual position and the theoretical track line. When the deviation exceeds a predetermined value, an early warning is issued. The control module is provided with a display unit for displaying the deviation for adjusting the ship's position.

[0078] Preferably, the control module is a computer, and the display unit is a monitor of the computer. The control module and the measurement module utilize a wireless network for data transmission and communication, transmitting the position of the pipe-laying vessel 1, the deviation of each monitoring point, and alarm information to the command center. The computer includes modules for data transmission and reception, storage, processing, and alarming, forming a complete data processing system.

[0079] In step S50, when the deviation of the monitoring point exceeds a predetermined value, an alarm is issued, and the alarm information and the deviation are synchronously transmitted to the command center so that the ship position can be adjusted in time. The advantages and positive effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0080] 1) During the pipe-laying operation, the computer receives data from the GNSS positioner 2 and the compass 3, and calculates the actual position changes of each monitoring point in real time, thereby monitoring the ship's position and dynamics in real time;

[0081] 2) Before the pipe-laying operation, the theoretical track lines of each monitoring point are calculated based on the coordinates of the monitoring points in the ship's coordinate system and the parameters of the arc route. These can be regarded as the designed routes of each monitoring point during the pipe-laying operation.

[0082] 3) Through wireless data transmission and communication, when the deviation exceeds the preset value, the alarm information and deviation amount will be broadcast in real time, which can be used to adjust the ship's position in time to ensure that the ship is laid according to the designed route, making it easier to coordinate and command operations.

[0083] The present invention can monitor the position changes of the pipe-laying vessel 1 in real time and can calculate the theoretical track line in advance, thereby ensuring that the pipe-laying vessel 1 lays the submarine pipeline along the optimal path on the arc route, making it easier to coordinate and command operations, and has important engineering application value and economic benefits.
