Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of offshore oil exploration technology, and in particular to an early warning system and method for offshore oil safety equipment failure based on remote monitoring. Background Technology

[0002] Blowout preventers (BOPs) are used to close the wellhead during operations such as well testing, well workover, and well completion to prevent blowout accidents. They combine the functions of full sealing and partial sealing into one unit and are characterized by simple structure, easy operation, and high pressure resistance. They are commonly used safety sealing devices for preventing blowouts in oilfields.

[0003] During the use of blowout preventers (BOPs), they often fail due to various reasons, such as corrosion, aging, and leakage. This is especially true in offshore oil and gas extraction, where the working environment of BOPs is harsh (usually on the seabed), making them prone to failure. However, workers may not be able to detect these failures in time, leading to safety accidents. Summary of the Invention

[0015] In some embodiments, the offshore oil safety equipment fault early warning system based on remote monitoring further includes a winding device and multiple ocean current detectors. The winding device is installed on the anchor chain of the offshore oil platform and is used to wind up or unwind the anchor chain based on the ocean current information detected by the ocean current detectors. The multiple ocean current detectors are located at different depths below the sea level.

[0016] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a method for early warning of faults in offshore oil safety equipment based on remote monitoring, characterized in that it is applied to the offshore oil safety equipment fault warning system based on remote monitoring as described in any one of the first aspects, comprising:

[0018] The hydraulic oil working pressure is obtained by detecting the pressure of the hydraulic oil in the cylinder using the pressure gauge.

[0019] If the hydraulic oil working pressure exceeds the preset pressure range, an abnormal hydraulic oil working pressure alarm will be issued.

[0022] In some embodiments, the gate movement status includes the gate movement speed and the gate movement position, and the gate movement abnormality alarm includes a gate speed abnormality alarm and a gate position abnormality alarm.

[0023] The detection component detects the movement of the gate to obtain the gate's movement status. If the gate's movement is abnormal, a gate movement abnormality alarm is issued, including:

[0024] The movement of the gate is detected by a sensor, and the speed and position of the gate are obtained.

[0025] If the speed of the gate is less than the upper limit of the speed, an alarm for abnormal gate speed will be issued.

[0040] The applied displacement is obtained based on the anchor chain force and the platform force.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this application embodiment are that by setting an installation chamber inside the blowout preventer housing and installing a detection component inside the installation chamber, the movement of the blowout preventer gate can be detected in a timely manner, and an alarm for abnormal gate movement can be issued when the movement of the gate is abnormal; by setting a pressure gauge and a hydraulic oil particle size analyzer on the blowout preventer cylinder, the normal operation of the hydraulic oil in the cylinder can be detected, and an alarm for abnormal hydraulic oil operation can be issued when the hydraulic oil operation is abnormal, enabling remote monitoring of the working status of the blowout preventer, ensuring the safe use of the blowout preventer, and solving the problem that existing blowout preventers are prone to failure, which is often not detected by operators in time, leading to safety accidents. Attached Figure Description

[0042] The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a blowout preventer structure provided in an embodiment of the present invention;

[0044] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a marine platform provided in an embodiment of the present invention;

[0045] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a method for early warning of faults in offshore oil safety equipment based on remote monitoring, provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0046] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] During oil drilling, a blowout preventer (BOP) is installed on the wellhead casing head to control the blowout of high-pressure oil, gas, and water. When the oil and gas pressure inside the well is very high, the BOP can seal the wellhead (shut it down). When heavy mud is injected from the drill pipe, there is a four-way valve under its gate, which can replace the mud that has been invaded by gas, increasing the pressure of the fluid column inside the well to suppress the ejection of high-pressure oil and gas.

[0048] Blowout preventers (BOPs) are the most important well control devices, playing a crucial role in drilling, especially in underbalanced drilling. The purpose of designing BOPs is to close the wellbore under pressure, maintain continuous control of the well, and circulate the formation fluids that have entered the well.

[0049] As the most important well control safety equipment, the blowout preventer (BOP) needs to be activated quickly to shut down the well in case of emergencies such as overflow, kick, or blowout during drilling operations. If the BOP fails at this time, it will lead to serious accidents such as blowout. The working environment of the BOP is relatively harsh (usually on the seabed), which makes the BOP prone to failure, and the staff may not be able to detect it in time, thus leading to safety accidents.

[0050] Firstly, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this application embodiment provides a fault early warning system for offshore oil safety equipment based on remote monitoring. The offshore oil safety equipment is a blowout preventer 10 for underwater use, comprising:

[0051] The installation chamber 120 is located inside the housing 110 of the blowout preventer 10;

[0052] A detection component, located within the installation chamber 120, is used to detect the movement of the blowout preventer 10 gate 130.

[0053] A pressure gauge is installed on the hydraulic cylinder 140 of the blowout preventer 10;

[0054] A hydraulic oil particle size analyzer is installed inside the oil cylinder 140 to detect the composition of the hydraulic oil inside the oil cylinder 140.

[0055] In the monitoring state, the movement of the gate 130 is detected by the detection component, and an alarm for abnormal gate 130 movement is issued when the movement of the gate 130 is abnormal. The hydraulic oil working condition in the cylinder 140 is detected by the pressure gauge and the hydraulic oil particle size detector, and an alarm for abnormal hydraulic oil is issued when the working condition of the hydraulic oil is abnormal.

[0056] It should be noted that the installation chamber 120 is located above the gate 130. The side wall of the installation chamber 120 facing the gate 130 is made of wear-resistant tempered glass so that the detection component can detect the gate 130. The number of detection components corresponds to the number of gates 130, that is, one detection component is provided for each pair of gates 130.

[0057] It should be noted that the pressure gauge can detect the hydraulic oil pressure in the cylinder 140 to obtain the hydraulic oil working pressure. The probe of the hydraulic oil particle size analyzer is located inside the cylinder 140. The hydraulic oil particle size analyzer can monitor and analyze the oil particle size, cleanliness, and contaminants of the hydraulic oil to obtain the hydraulic oil working composition. If the hydraulic oil working pressure exceeds the preset pressure range, an abnormal hydraulic oil working pressure alarm will be issued to the ground or offshore platform 20; if the hydraulic oil working composition exceeds the preset composition range, an abnormal hydraulic oil working composition alarm will be issued to the ground or offshore platform 20.

[0058] It should be noted that the working pressure and composition of the hydraulic oil can be used to conduct a preliminary analysis of the cause of the abnormal movement of the gate 130, in order to determine whether the abnormality is caused by the abnormal working pressure and / or the abnormal composition of the hydraulic oil.

[0059] In some embodiments, the detection component includes:

[0060] A sensor, located inside the mounting chamber 120, is used to detect the movement of the blowout preventer 10 gate 130;

[0061] A radiation detector, located in the installation chamber 120 and connected to the rotating device, is used to perform radiation detection on the blowout preventer 10.

[0062] It should be noted that the sensor can detect the movement of the gate 130 and obtain the movement status of the gate 130. If the movement status of the gate 130 is abnormal, an alarm for abnormal gate 130 movement will be issued. The movement status of the gate 130 includes the gate 130's movement speed and position. The alarm for abnormal gate 130 movement includes an alarm for abnormal gate 130 speed and an alarm for abnormal gate 130 position. That is, the sensor detects the movement of the gate 130 and obtains its movement speed and position; if the gate 130's movement speed is less than the required speed... If the speed of the gate 130 is not within the preset range, an alarm will be issued for abnormal speed. If the gate 130 does not reach the preset position, an alarm will be issued for abnormal position. During the closing process of the gate 130, it is necessary not only to close the gate 130 completely, but also to ensure the closing speed of the gate 130. If the closing speed of the gate 130 is too low, it may result in the gate 130 not closing in time, thus failing to prevent the occurrence of safety accidents. The upper limit of the movement speed can be set according to actual needs, and this application does not make specific limitations. The sensor may be an infrared imaging sensor, an infrared sensor, a camera, etc.

[0063] It should be noted that by rotating the X-ray inspection instrument through the rotating device and inspecting the blowout preventer 10 through the X-ray inspection instrument, X-ray inspection results can be obtained. If the X-ray inspection results exceed the preset working conditions, an X-ray inspection abnormality alarm will be issued. The X-ray inspection results can display the corrosion and deformation of the blowout preventer 10 (including the gate 130), and in general, evaluate the physical working performance of the blowout preventer 10. The rotating device can be a universal ball joint, and this application does not specifically limit the specific form of the rotating device.

[0064] In some embodiments, the offshore oil safety equipment fault early warning system based on remote monitoring further includes a petroleum component analyzer and a mud component analyzer. The petroleum component analyzer is used to detect the oil and gas components in the well, and the mud component analyzer is used to detect the mud components in the well.

[0065] It should be noted that the probe (or collector) of the oil composition analyzer and the probe (or collector) of the mud composition analyzer are located inside the well or inside the blowout preventer 10. Different oil compositions and different mud compositions have different corrosion rates on the blowout preventer 10. Therefore, by collecting the oil composition and the mud composition and the duration of their contact with the blowout preventer 10, the corrosion status of the blowout preventer 10 can be accurately estimated, and the usable time of the blowout preventer 10 can be predicted based on the oil composition and the mud composition.

[0066] It should be noted that the corrosion condition of the blowout preventer 10 and the expected service life of the blowout preventer 10 can be estimated by a corrosion model. The corrosion model can be a neural network model, and the corrosion model can be corrected based on the X-ray detection results, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the corrosion model in predicting the service life of the blowout preventer 10.

[0067] In some embodiments, the offshore oil safety equipment fault early warning system based on remote monitoring further includes a winding device 40 and multiple ocean current detectors. The winding device 40 is installed on the anchor chain 30 of the offshore oil platform and is used to wind up or unwind the anchor chain 30 based on the ocean current information detected by the ocean current detectors. The multiple ocean current detectors are installed at different depths below the sea level.

[0068] It should be noted that, because water flows in the ocean at different depths, forces directly act on the offshore platform 20 near the sea surface and on its anchor chains 30 underwater. These forces are ultimately transmitted to the offshore platform 20, causing it to wave or float, thus affecting its stability. Furthermore, the anchor chains 30 used to secure the offshore platform 20, due to their considerable length, typically exhibit a certain degree of sag; that is, they do not secure the platform 20 to the sea in a straight line. This means that when the force on one side of the offshore platform 20 is large, the corresponding anchor chain 30 will "straighten" (i.e., its straight length increases) under the force, causing the offshore platform 20 to fluctuate. Therefore, the fluctuation of the offshore platform 20 caused by the "straightening" of the anchor chain 30 can be counteracted by tightening the anchor chain 30 on the side where the force is applied using the winding device 40. The winding device 40 can be an electric drum, and multiple winding devices 40 can be set on one anchor chain 30 according to the length of the anchor chain 30 to tighten the anchor chain 30 in sections.

[0069] It should be noted that the ocean current detector and the winding device 40 are usually arranged at the same depth. When tightening the anchor chain 30, multiple ocean current detectors can be used to detect the ocean current conditions at different depths below the sea surface. Based on the multiple ocean current conditions, the displacement of the ocean current on the offshore platform 20 is obtained. Based on the displacement, the anchor chain 30 to be wound is determined, and the anchor chain 30 to be wound is wound up by the winding device 40. That is, if the displacement obtained from the ocean current conditions causes the offshore platform 20 to rotate to the right (or capsize), the anchor chain 30 on the left side of the offshore platform 20 is tightened by the winding device 40. At this time, under the force of the ocean current on the offshore platform 20 and the anchor chain 30, the anchor chain 30 "straightens". Tightening the anchor chain 30 by the winding device 40 can prevent the offshore platform 20 from fluctuating, thereby ensuring the stability of the offshore platform 20.

[0070] In summary, compared with the prior art, the advantages of the embodiments of this application are as follows: by setting an installation chamber 120 in the housing 110 of the blowout preventer 10 and setting a detection component in the installation chamber 120, the movement of the gate 130 of the blowout preventer 10 can be detected in a timely manner, and an alarm for abnormal gate 130 movement can be issued when the movement of the gate 130 is abnormal; by setting a pressure gauge and a hydraulic oil particle size analyzer on the cylinder 140 of the blowout preventer 10, the operation of the hydraulic oil in the cylinder 140 can be detected as normal, and an alarm for abnormal hydraulic oil operation can be issued when the hydraulic oil operation is abnormal. The working status of the blowout preventer 10 can be monitored remotely, ensuring the safe use of the blowout preventer 10. This solves the problem that existing blowout preventers 10 are prone to failure, but the operators cannot detect it in time, thus leading to safety accidents.

[0071] Secondly, such as Figure 3 As shown, this application provides a method for early warning of faults in offshore oil safety equipment based on remote monitoring, applied to the offshore oil safety equipment fault warning system based on remote monitoring as described in any one of the first aspects, comprising:

[0072] S101: The movement of the gate 130 is detected by the detection component to obtain the movement status of the gate 130. If the movement status of the gate 130 is abnormal, an alarm for abnormal gate 130 movement is issued.

[0073] It should be noted that the detection components include: a sensor, located in the installation chamber 120, for detecting the movement of the blowout preventer 10 gate 130; and a radiation detector, located in the installation chamber 120 and connected to the rotating device, for performing radiation detection on the blowout preventer 10.

[0074] In some embodiments, the movement of the gate 130 includes the movement speed and position of the gate 130, and the abnormal movement alarm of the gate 130 includes an abnormal speed alarm and an abnormal position alarm.

[0075] The movement of the gate 130 is detected by the detection component to obtain the movement status of the gate 130. If the movement status of the gate 130 is abnormal, an alarm for abnormal gate 130 movement is issued, including:

[0076] The movement of the gate 130 is detected by a sensor to obtain the speed and position of the gate 130.

[0077] If the speed of the gate 130 is less than the upper limit of the speed, an alarm for abnormal speed of the gate 130 will be issued.

[0078] If the gate 130 does not reach the preset position, an alarm for abnormal position of the gate 130 will be issued.

[0079] It should be noted that during the closing process of the gate 130, it is not only necessary to close the gate 130 completely, but also to ensure the closing speed of the gate 130. If the closing speed of the gate 130 is too low, it may result in the gate 130 not closing in time, thus failing to prevent the occurrence of safety accidents. The upper limit of the movement speed can be set according to actual needs, and this application does not make specific limitations. The sensor may be an infrared imaging sensor, an infrared sensor, a camera, etc.

[0080] S102: The hydraulic oil working pressure is obtained by detecting the pressure of the hydraulic oil in the cylinder 140 using the pressure gauge;

[0081] S103: If the hydraulic oil working pressure exceeds the preset pressure range, an abnormal hydraulic oil working pressure alarm will be issued.

[0082] S104: The composition of the hydraulic oil in the cylinder 140 is detected by the hydraulic oil particle size analyzer to obtain the working composition of the hydraulic oil;

[0083] S105: If the working components of the hydraulic oil exceed the preset component range, an alarm for abnormal hydraulic oil working components will be issued.

[0084] It should be noted that the pressure gauge can detect the hydraulic oil pressure of the cylinder 140 to obtain the hydraulic oil working pressure. The probe of the hydraulic oil particle size analyzer is inside the cylinder 140. The hydraulic oil particle size analyzer can monitor and analyze the oil particle size, cleanliness, and contaminants of the hydraulic oil to obtain the hydraulic oil working composition. If the hydraulic oil working pressure exceeds the preset pressure range, an abnormal hydraulic oil working pressure alarm will be issued to the ground or offshore platform 20 (usually, when the hydraulic oil working pressure is low, the gate 130 will not be able to close, or the gate 130 will close too slowly). If the hydraulic oil working composition exceeds the preset composition range (usually, when the hydraulic oil has high particle size, high viscosity, and many impurities, the speed of driving the gate 130 will be reduced), an abnormal hydraulic oil working composition alarm will be issued to the ground or offshore platform 20. The preset pressure range and the specific range of the hydraulic oil working composition can be set according to the actual situation.

[0085] It should be noted that the working pressure and composition of the hydraulic oil can be used to conduct a preliminary analysis of the cause of the abnormal movement of the gate 130, in order to determine whether the abnormality is caused by the abnormal working pressure and / or the abnormal composition of the hydraulic oil.

[0086] In some embodiments, the method for early warning of faults in offshore safety equipment based on remote monitoring further includes:

[0087] The X-ray detector is rotated by a rotating device, and the blowout preventer 10 is detected by the X-ray detector to obtain the X-ray detection result.

[0088] If the X-ray detection result exceeds the preset working condition, an X-ray detection abnormality alarm will be issued.

[0089] It should be noted that by rotating the X-ray inspection instrument through the rotating device and inspecting the blowout preventer 10 through the X-ray inspection instrument, X-ray inspection results can be obtained. If the X-ray inspection results exceed the preset working conditions, an X-ray inspection abnormality alarm will be issued. The X-ray inspection results can display the corrosion and deformation of the blowout preventer 10 (including the gate 130), and in general, evaluate the physical working performance of the blowout preventer 10. The rotating device can be a universal ball joint, and this application does not specifically limit the specific form of the rotating device.

[0090] In some embodiments, the method for early warning of faults in offshore safety equipment based on remote monitoring further includes:

[0091] The composition of petroleum in the well is detected using a petroleum composition analyzer;

[0092] The composition of the mud in the well was detected using a mud composition analyzer.

[0093] The remaining service life of the gate 130 when its movement speed drops to the lower limit is assessed based on the oil composition, and / or the mud composition and the X-ray detection results.

[0094] It should be noted that the probe (or collector) of the oil composition analyzer and the probe (or collector) of the mud composition analyzer are located inside the well or inside the blowout preventer 10. Different oil compositions and different mud compositions have different corrosion rates on the blowout preventer 10. Therefore, by collecting the oil composition and the mud composition and the duration of their contact with the blowout preventer 10, the corrosion status of the blowout preventer 10 can be accurately estimated, and the usable time of the blowout preventer 10 can be predicted based on the oil composition and the mud composition.

[0095] It should be noted that the corrosion condition of the blowout preventer 10 and the expected service life of the blowout preventer 10 can be estimated by a corrosion model. The corrosion model can be a neural network model, and the corrosion model can be corrected based on the X-ray detection results, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the corrosion model in predicting the service life of the blowout preventer 10.

[0096] It should be noted that, based on the X-ray inspection results (including corrosion and deformation), the oil composition, and the mud composition, the remaining service life of the gate 130 when its movement speed drops to the lower limit can be predicted using the gate 130 movement speed model. This provides an accurate time for preparing to replace the equipment in advance. The gate 130 speed model can be a neural network model.

[0097] In some embodiments, the method for early warning of faults in offshore safety equipment based on remote monitoring further includes:

[0098] Multiple ocean currents at different depths below sea level were detected using multiple ocean current detectors.

[0099] The displacement of the offshore platform 20 due to the ocean current conditions described in multiple locations is obtained.

[0100] The anchor chain 30 to be wound is determined based on the applied displacement, and the anchor chain 30 to be wound is wound up by the winding device 40.

[0101] In some embodiments, obtaining the displacement of the offshore platform 20 based on the ocean current conditions at multiple locations includes:

[0102] The force exerted by the ocean currents on the anchor chain 30 and the platform force on the offshore platform 20 are obtained based on the ocean current conditions at multiple locations.

[0103] The applied displacement is obtained based on the force of the anchor chain 30 and the force of the platform.

[0104] It should be noted that, because water flows in the ocean at different depths, forces directly act on the offshore platform 20 near the sea surface and on its anchor chains 30 underwater. These forces are ultimately transmitted to the offshore platform 20, causing it to wave or float, thus affecting its stability. Furthermore, the anchor chains 30 used to secure the offshore platform 20, due to their considerable length, typically exhibit a certain degree of sag; that is, they do not secure the platform 20 to the sea in a straight line. This means that when the force on one side of the offshore platform 20 is large, the corresponding anchor chain 30 will "straighten" (i.e., its straight length increases) under the force, causing the offshore platform 20 to fluctuate. Therefore, the fluctuation of the offshore platform 20 caused by the "straightening" of the anchor chain 30 can be counteracted by tightening the anchor chain 30 on the side where the force is applied using the winding device 40. The winding device 40 can be an electric drum, and multiple winding devices 40 can be set on one anchor chain 30 according to the length of the anchor chain 30 to tighten the anchor chain 30 in sections.

[0105] It should be noted that the ocean current detector and the winding device 40 are usually arranged at the same depth and located outside the winding device 40 (i.e., on the side away from the offshore platform 20). When tightening the anchor chain 30, multiple ocean current detectors can be used to detect the ocean current conditions at different depths below the sea surface. Based on the multiple ocean current conditions, the displacement of the ocean current on the offshore platform 20 is obtained. Based on the displacement, the anchor chain 30 to be wound is determined, and the anchor chain 30 to be wound is wound by the winding device 40. That is, if the displacement obtained from the ocean current conditions causes the offshore platform 20 to rotate to the right (or capsize), the anchor chain 30 on the left side of the offshore platform 20 is tightened by the winding device 40. At this time, under the force of the ocean current on the offshore platform 20 and the anchor chain 30, the anchor chain 30 "straightens". Tightening the anchor chain 30 by the winding device 40 can prevent the offshore platform 20 from fluctuating, thereby ensuring the stability of the offshore platform 20.
