Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of on-site quality safety management of oil and gas production facilities, and in particular to a method for automatically driving away illegal vessels and personnel suitable for an offshore fixed platform. Background Art

[0002] Fixed offshore production platforms used for oil and natural gas extraction generally use a jacket pile foundation leg structure, with the jacket buried deep in the seabed. This type of fixed platform is usually designed to withstand typhoons that occur only once in a century, becoming a solid steel Great Wall on the sea.

[0003] Every year, some illegal fishermen often hang the cables of their fishing boats on the pile legs of fixed offshore oil platforms in order to save diesel, reduce the operating intensity of fishing boats, and take advantage of the platform's lighting. Under the influence of sea waves, this not only creates a potential risk of collision with the platform's pile legs, causing huge economic losses, but also poses a threat to the oil pipelines on the oil platform's pile legs, which may very likely cause the fishing boat to collide with the oil pipeline and break it, leading to crude oil leakage and an environmental disaster.

[0004] In the process of driving away illegal boats and illegal personnel, various problems may arise during the process, as the results of various methods such as broadcasting, shouting, and manual driving are still unsatisfactory:

[0005] Due to the large number of platform monitoring, it is difficult for duty personnel to detect and report the approach of illegal vessels and personnel;

[0006] Illegal vessels and personnel often approach at night, when personnel focus on production safety and cannot monitor them in real time;

[0007] When we find illegal vessels and personnel approaching the platform, we use radio to warn them, but they ignore us;

[0008] If illegal boats and people are approaching, at least three people are needed to cooperate with each other to use water guns to drive away the fishing boats;

[0009] If illegal boats and people are found approaching, they can only be driven away manually, which increases the workload of the on-site personnel.

[0010] After being driven away, illegal vessels and personnel do not stay away. After the fixed personnel leave, they return again, forming a "guerrilla" tactic, hindering the normal safety production of platform personnel;

[0011] Currently, the platform is developing towards unmanned and less-manned operation. Without protective measures, illegal vessels and personnel can board the platform at will and damage the equipment.

[0012] Under different sea conditions and weather conditions, it is difficult for water guns to accurately hit illegal ships and personnel or it is difficult to spray near ships, and the time efficiency is low. Summary of the invention

[0013] The object of the present invention is to solve at least one technical problem in the background technology and to provide a method for automatically driving away illegal vessels and personnel applicable to an offshore fixed platform.

[0014] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for automatically driving away illegal vessels and personnel applicable to an offshore fixed platform, comprising:

[0015] Install surveillance cameras on fixed offshore oil production platforms to monitor illegal vessels and personnel approaching fixed offshore oil production platforms;

[0016] A central monitoring system is arranged on the offshore fixed oil production platform, the central monitoring system is connected to the monitoring camera for communication, receives the monitoring signal transmitted by the monitoring camera, and displays the monitoring screen in real time;

[0017] An audible and visual alarm and repelling device is installed on the fixed offshore oil production platform. The audible and visual alarm and repelling device is connected to the central monitoring system for communication. The central monitoring system controls the audible and visual alarm and repelling device to give an early warning to repelling illegal vessels and personnel approaching the fixed offshore oil production platform.

[0018] An automatic driving device is arranged on the fixed offshore oil production platform, and the automatic driving device is connected to the central monitoring system for communication. When the monitoring camera detects that an illegal vessel is about to be moored on the jacket of the fixed offshore oil production platform and / or before personnel board the platform, the central monitoring system controls the automatic driving device to start spraying water to drive away the illegal vessels and personnel.

[0019] According to one aspect of the present invention, the method of monitoring illegal vessels and personnel close to an offshore fixed oil production platform by using a surveillance camera includes:

[0020] The monitoring camera uses the pan / tilt control to monitor and scan the preset range around the offshore fixed oil production platform;

[0021] When ships and personnel enter the surveillance scanning range of the surveillance camera, the surveillance camera will perform ship model recognition and face recognition on the ships and personnel to determine whether the ships and personnel are illegal ships and personnel. If they are determined to be illegal ships and personnel, the surveillance camera will lock and track the illegal ships and personnel.

[0022] According to one aspect of the present invention, when the central monitoring system controls to start the sound and light alarm driving device, the automatic driving device is delayed to control the standby state.

[0023] According to one aspect of the present invention, the sound and light alarm and driving away device drives away and warns illegal vessels and personnel approaching the offshore fixed oil production platform as follows:

[0024] The sound and light alarm and driving away device drives away illegal vessels and personnel approaching the offshore fixed oil production platform through voice warning and signal light warning and driving away.

[0025] According to one aspect of the present invention, the automatic driving device comprises: an air-controlled solenoid valve, an air-controlled diaphragm valve, a manual three-way ball valve, and a water spray gun head;

[0028] The air-controlled solenoid valve is connected to the air-controlled diaphragm valve, and the central monitoring system remotely controls the air-controlled solenoid valve to open and close the air-controlled diaphragm valve;

[0029] The manual three-way ball valve is connected to the air-controlled diaphragm valve, and the air-controlled diaphragm valve is opened and closed by manually controlling the manual three-way ball valve.

[0030] According to one solution of the present invention, a method for automatically driving away illegal vessels and personnel applicable to a fixed offshore platform comprises: setting a monitoring camera on the fixed offshore oil production platform, monitoring illegal vessels and personnel close to the fixed offshore oil production platform through the monitoring camera; setting a central monitoring system on the fixed offshore oil production platform, the central monitoring system being in communication connection with the monitoring camera, receiving monitoring signals transmitted by the monitoring camera, and displaying monitoring images in real time; setting an audible and visual alarm driving device on the fixed offshore oil production platform, the audible and visual alarm driving device being in communication connection with the central monitoring system, the central monitoring system controlling the audible and visual alarm driving device to drive away illegal vessels and personnel close to the fixed offshore oil production platform and giving warning; setting an automatic driving device on the fixed offshore oil production platform, the automatic driving device being in communication connection with the central monitoring system, when the monitoring camera monitors that an illegal vessel is about to be moored on the conductor frame of the fixed offshore oil production platform and / or before personnel board the platform, the central monitoring system controls the automatic driving device to start spraying water to drive away the illegal vessels and personnel. Such a scheme can make the present invention safe, reliable and easy to operate when in use, and can solve the problems that fixed personnel cannot discover illegal ships in time when they approach, the timeliness of driving them away after discovery is poor, the time-consuming and labor-intensive work is inefficient, and the strategy of cracking the "guerrilla" mooring of ships can be solved.

[0031] According to one solution of the present invention, illegal vessels and personnel close to fixed offshore oil production platforms are monitored by surveillance cameras, including: the surveillance camera monitors and scans the preset range around the fixed offshore oil production platform through the pan-tilt control; when the vessel and personnel enter the surveillance scanning range of the surveillance camera, the surveillance camera performs vessel model recognition and face recognition on the vessel and personnel to determine whether the vessel and personnel are illegal vessels and personnel.

[0032] According to one solution of the present invention, when the central monitoring system controls the activation of the sound and light alarm driving device, the automatic driving device is delayed to be in a standby state. This arrangement allows the automatic driving device to be in a standby state in a timely manner according to specific circumstances, which can effectively improve the actual driving efficiency, avoid the problem of illegal ships and personnel being unable to be driven away in time when committing crimes, and effectively ensure property safety.

[0037] The present invention will now be discussed with reference to exemplary embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments discussed are only to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and thus implement the present invention, rather than implying any limitation on the scope of the present invention.

[0038] As used herein, the term “including” and variations thereof are to be interpreted as open-ended terms meaning “including, but not limited to.” The term “based on” is to be interpreted as “based, at least in part, on.” The terms “one embodiment” and “an embodiment” are to be interpreted as “at least one embodiment.”

[0039] Figure 1 A flowchart schematically showing a method for automatically driving away illegal vessels and personnel applicable to an offshore fixed platform according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 The following schematically shows a system architecture diagram for automatically driving away illegal vessels and personnel from an offshore fixed platform according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the method for automatically driving away illegal vessels and personnel applicable to an offshore fixed platform includes:

[0040] A surveillance camera 2 is installed on an offshore fixed oil production platform 1, and illegal vessels 3 and personnel 4 approaching the offshore fixed oil production platform are monitored by the surveillance camera 2;

[0041] A central monitoring system is set up on the offshore fixed oil production platform 1, the central monitoring system is connected to the monitoring camera 2 for communication, receives the monitoring signal transmitted by the monitoring camera 2, and displays the monitoring screen in real time;

[0042] An audible and visual alarm and driving device is arranged on the fixed offshore oil production platform 1, and the audible and visual alarm and driving device is connected to the central monitoring system for communication, and the central monitoring system controls the audible and visual alarm and driving device to drive away illegal vessels and personnel approaching the fixed offshore oil production platform 1 for early warning;

[0043] An automatic driving device 5 is arranged on the fixed offshore oil production platform 1, and the automatic driving device is connected to the central monitoring system for communication. When the monitoring camera 2 monitors that the illegal vessel 3 is about to be moored on the jacket 6 of the fixed offshore oil production platform 1 and / or before the personnel 4 board the platform, the central monitoring system controls the automatic driving device to start spraying water to drive away the illegal vessel and personnel. Such a scheme can make the present invention safe and reliable when in use, easy to operate, and can solve the problems that the fixed personnel cannot find the illegal vessel in time when it approaches, the timeliness of driving after finding is poor, the time-consuming and labor-intensive labor is inefficient, and the strategy of breaking the "guerrilla" mooring of the vessel is cracked.

[0044] Further, according to an embodiment of the present invention, monitoring illegal vessels 3 and personnel 4 close to the offshore fixed oil production platform 1 by means of a monitoring camera 1 includes:

[0045] The monitoring camera 2 monitors and scans a preset range around the offshore fixed oil production platform 1 through the pan / tilt control;

[0046] When ships and personnel enter the surveillance scanning range of the surveillance camera, the surveillance camera will perform ship model recognition and face recognition on the ships and personnel to determine whether the ships and personnel are illegal ships and personnel. If they are illegal ships and personnel, the surveillance camera will lock and track the illegal ships and personnel. This setting can make the monitoring target more accurate and correct, and can distinguish and judge the personnel of working ships and illegal ships, avoid misjudgment, and ensure the accuracy and efficiency of monitoring and subsequent alarm and expulsion.

[0047] In this embodiment, both the surveillance camera 2 and the central monitoring system have the function of alarming and magnifying the picture. After the surveillance camera 2 monitoring the sea surface performs ship model and face recognition, the magnified picture can pop up on the central monitoring system screen and alarm, prompting the central control personnel to be vigilant.

[0048] In this embodiment, the video monitoring of the surveillance camera 2 can be based on the daily operation rules, and the deployment alarm time can be set at the time when the ship often berths, such as enabling the real-time monitoring alarm function between 20:00 and 06:00.

[0049] Furthermore, according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the central monitoring system controls the activation of the sound and light alarm driving device, the automatic driving device is delayed to be in a standby state. This arrangement enables the automatic driving device to be in a standby state in a timely manner according to the specific situation, which can effectively improve the actual driving efficiency, avoid the problem of illegal ships and personnel being unable to be driven away in time when committing crimes, and effectively ensure property safety.

[0050] Further, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the sound and light alarm and driving away device drives away and warns illegal vessels and personnel approaching the offshore fixed oil production platform:

[0051] The sound and light alarm and driving away device uses voice warning and signal light warning to drive away illegal vessels and personnel approaching the offshore fixed oil production platform.

[0052] In this embodiment, the sound and light alarm and driving device can be integrated into the monitoring camera 2, so that the sound and light alarm and driving device can follow the monitoring camera 2 and carry out positive sound and light warning and driving away illegal vessels and personnel.

[0053] In this embodiment, the sound and light alarm and driving away device can be set to spray seawater for early warning. If the illegal vessel refuses to cooperate and still wants to moor or board the platform, the water spray gun head 7 of the automatic driving away device will spray water after a delay before the vessel reaches the platform to drive it away.

[0054] Further, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the automatic driving device comprises: a water spray gun head 7, an air-controlled solenoid valve 8, and an air-controlled diaphragm valve 9; and further comprises: a manual three-way ball valve;

[0055] The water spray gun head 7 pipeline is connected to the sea discharge pipeline 10;

[0056] The air-controlled diaphragm valve 9 is arranged on the sea discharge pipeline to open and close the sea discharge pipeline;

[0057] The air-controlled solenoid valve 8 is connected to the air-controlled diaphragm valve 9, and the central monitoring system remotely controls the air-controlled solenoid valve 8 to open and close the air-controlled diaphragm valve 9;

[0058] In addition, the manual three-way ball valve is connected to the air-controlled diaphragm valve 9, and the air-controlled diaphragm valve 9 is opened and closed by manually controlling the manual three-way ball valve. With such a configuration, the air-controlled diaphragm valve 9 can be opened and closed by remote control and on-site operation, so as to open the pipeline to spray water through the water spray gun head 7, thereby spraying water to drive away illegal ships and personnel. This operation process is simple and fast, and can effectively save labor costs and ensure driving efficiency.

[0059] In this embodiment, the water spray gun head 7 is provided with a motor and a universal joint, so that it can rotate along with the monitoring camera 2 and implement precise water spraying.

[0060] According to the above solution of the present invention, the monitoring camera 2 can automatically identify the marine oil tugboat number (such as HYSY-xxx), add a white list, and avoid accidental spraying of water columns when the tugboat approaches the platform in an emergency at night.

[0061] According to the above scheme of the present invention, the water jet from the water spray gun head 7 can also cause disturbance on the sea surface and drive away fish schools on the sea surface, so as to drive away illegal fishing boats and personnel.

[0062] According to the above scheme of the present invention, the water jet from the water gun head 7 can effectively drive away illegal ships, and at the same time deter ships that want to dock at the platform, reduce the number of ships docking, and effectively reduce the risk of ships colliding with the platform due to human operating errors.

[0063] According to the above scheme of the present invention, the water jet head 7 sprays water columns, which can effectively drive away illegal ships, effectively reduce the risk of illegal ships anchoring on the platform, anchoring and damaging submarine pipeline equipment, and reduce environmental risks such as oil spills.

[0064] According to the above scheme of the present invention, the present invention is simple to operate, safe and convenient, and automatically controlled. It has the functions of monitoring and alarming illegal ships and personnel intrusion, spraying water to drive them away, etc., and can effectively prevent illegal ships from colliding with platforms to cause economic losses, illegal personnel from invading platforms to damage ground equipment, and ships from damaging oil and gas mixed transportation pipelines to cause marine environmental pollution.

[0065] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made in form and details without departing from the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
