Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of marine engineering and deep-sea carbon dioxide storage, and specifically relates to integrated equipment and method for intelligent excavation and carbon storage of deep-sea rock and soil bodies. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, with the increasing global attention to climate change, reducing greenhouse gas emissions has become a global consensus. Carbon dioxide is one of the main greenhouse gases. Its excessive emissions will lead to an accelerated rise in global temperatures, which may cause a series of climate problems such as extreme heat and drought. According to the latest detection, the concentration of carbon dioxide, as the main greenhouse gas, in the atmosphere has reached 420 ppm, which has increased by nearly 50% compared with the pre-industrial level (about 280 ppm in the 17th century). In order to solve this problem, many countries and scientific research institutions have begun to explore carbon dioxide capture and storage technology, with the aim of capturing carbon dioxide from industrial sources (such as power plants, steel mills, etc.) and then storing it to prevent it from entering the atmosphere. Deep-sea carbon storage technology, as a form of carbon capture and storage, mainly injects captured carbon dioxide into the deep ocean and uses the unique environmental conditions of the deep sea for long-term storage.
[0003] The existing deep-sea carbon storage equipment and methods have the following problems: 1. Existing deep-sea carbon storage technology cannot inject and store large amounts of CO2 into deep-sea rock and soil for a long time. In addition, the equipment used for deep-sea CO2 injection and storage is relatively scarce, and generally requires reliance on other deep-sea operating equipment (such as submarine robots, etc.), which makes the time, quantity and effectiveness of deep-sea carbon storage very limited; 2. The current marine carbon storage technology directly discharges CO2 into the saline layer or the seabed surface. Although it has a certain storage effect, CO2 is likely to migrate with the changes in ocean currents and face the risk of leaving the ocean water and circulating again into the atmosphere. It is impossible to inject CO2 into the deep rock cracks under the seabed for permanent storage; 3. Directly discharging CO2 into the seabed or saltwater will change the pH value of seawater, leading to ocean acidification. This acidification will harm marine life, especially those that rely on carbonates (such as corals, shellfish, etc.). Long-term CO2 accumulation may also change the seabed ecological environment and affect the stability of the deep-sea food chain; 4. Existing deep-sea carbon storage equipment and processes will cause significant disturbances to the seabed environment, resulting in a large amount of bottom plumes on the seabed surface, causing serious damage to the seabed ecological environment. At present, there are no effective measures to reduce plume disturbances during deep-sea carbon storage. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an integrated equipment and method for intelligent excavation and carbon storage in deep-sea rock and soil.

[0006] Furthermore, the CO2 injection pipeline is made of titanium alloy that can withstand a pressure of 50-100MPa, has a diameter of 2-5m, is laid in a J-shape on the seabed, and is suspended on an offshore injection platform.

[0014] One object of the present invention is to provide a method for carbon sequestration in deep rock mass under the deep seabed, comprising the following steps: S1. The CO2 capture device captures gaseous CO2 from the CO2 emission source, liquefies the gaseous CO2 through the CO2 compression processing device, and stores it in a liquid CO2 storage tank. The liquid CO2 is then transported to the offshore injection platform by a supply ship, and injected into the deep sea rock and soil for storage through a pneumatic conveying pump, a riser, and a CO2 injection and storage device; S2. After the liquid CO2 is transported to the offshore injection platform, a small amount of liquid CO2 is first injected into the hydraulic chamber of the CO2 injection and sealing device, and the CO2 injection and sealing device and the CO2 injection pipeline are lowered to the seabed below 5000m, and the CO2 injection and sealing device are sealed and connected with the CO2 injection pipeline at the interface; S3. After the CO2 injection and storage device is connected to the CO2 injection pipeline and lowered to the seabed, the second jet nozzle located at the front end of the excavation mechanism of the CO2 injection and storage device starts to spray seawater to excavate the surface sediments of the seabed; S4. The plume diffusion caused by the groundbreaking process is suppressed by the plume suppression cover. As the groundbreaking depth increases, the plume suppression cover shrinks continuously and always stays above the seabed. When the CO2 injection storage device is completely excavated under the seabed, the plume suppression cover stops shrinking; S5. The surface soil type is sensed through the intelligent detection system, and the jet breaking parameters are adjusted according to the shallow soil type. When the shallow seabed soil reaches the degree of destruction, the polycrystalline diamond composite drill bit at the front end of the earth-breaking and excavation system starts to work, and the drill bit adaptive adjustment system is used to adjust the drill bit speed according to the soil type. The specific steps are as follows: ① Soft soil layer: the jet speed is controlled at 6-8m / s. When the drill bit is sunk to a depth of more than 50cm, the speed is controlled at 60-80rpm; ②Medium-dense soil layer: The jet speed is controlled at 8-10m / s. When the drill bit sinks to a depth of more than 30cm, the polycrystalline diamond composite drill bit at the front end of the soil-breaking and excavation system starts working at 80-100rpm; ③Hard soil layer: The jet speed is controlled at 10-12m / s. When the drill bit sinks to a depth of more than 20cm, the polycrystalline diamond composite drill bit at the front end of the soil-breaking and excavation system starts to work at 100-150rpm; S6. When the CO2 injection storage device passes through the shallow soil to reach the rock layer, the intelligent detection system senses the change of the rock and soil type, and adjusts the jet speed and drill speed in real time according to the transition between different soil and rock layers. The specific steps are as follows: ①When the shallow soil turns into hard rock, the jet velocity is controlled to 15-20m / s and the drill speed is controlled to 80-100rpm; ② When the shallow soil turns into soft rock, the jet velocity is controlled to 12-15m / s and the drill speed is controlled to 60-80rpm; S7. Provide driving power for the CO2 injection and storage device through the hydraulic chamber, the propulsion ring, and the retractable mechanism. The steps are as follows: ① Release the liquid CO2 in the hydraulic chamber to the fourth propulsion ring. After the fourth propulsion ring is filled with liquid CO2 and expanded and anchored, control the push rod 3 to push out and make the third telescopic ring extend and move forward; ② Continue to release the liquid CO2 in the fourth propulsion ring into the third propulsion ring, so that the third propulsion ring expands and anchors, and control the push rod 2 to push out, so that the second telescopic ring extends and moves forward; ③Continue to release the liquid CO2 in the third propulsion ring into the second propulsion ring, so that the second propulsion ring expands and anchors, and control the push rod 1 to push out, so that the first telescopic ring extends and moves forward; ④Finally, the liquid CO2 in the second propulsion ring is released into the first propulsion ring, and then the liquid CO2 is returned to the hydraulic chamber for use in the next excavation cycle; S8, loop S6, during the excavation process, CO2 is injected into the storage device, and the excavation is carried out under the seabed according to the preset path based on the high-precision positioning and navigation system, and the rotation angle of the drill bit is controlled to be between 0.5° and 3° through the rotary steering system; S9. During the CO2 injection into the storage device and excavation process, the suction pipeline sucks seawater into the water storage tank, and the seawater in the water storage tank is sprayed through the second jet nozzle to clean up the rock debris generated during the excavation process; S10. Upon reaching the preset sealing storage layer, the rock type and the distribution of rock cracks and cavities are detected by using an acoustic wave reflection detector, the reservoir characteristics are evaluated according to the porosity and permeability of the sealing storage layer, and the injection state of the CO2 injection and storage device is adjusted in real time by using an intelligent monitoring and control system; S11. When the porosity of the sealing storage layer is 20%-30% and the permeability is greater than 1000mD, it is judged as a good sealing environment and the injection rate and injection volume should be appropriately increased; when the porosity is 10%-20% and the permeability is 100-1000mD, it is judged as a general sealing environment and the injection rate and injection volume should be reduced; S12. After arriving at the preset storage location and completing the detection of rock mass fissures and passing the analysis, the liquid CO2 in the hydraulic tank is released through the jet nozzle, and the liquid CO2 is pumped into the CO2 injection pipeline at a pressure of ≥8MPa through the energy power supply system, and finally the liquid CO2 is injected into the rock mass fissures under the deep seabed through the CO2 storage injection device for storage; S13. During the carbon storage process, flow meters, pressure sensors, and gas sensors deployed on the offshore injection platform and CO2 injection pipeline start working to monitor the liquid CO2 injection flow, injection pressure, and CO2 concentration in real time to ensure that the liquid CO2 injection flow rate changes by no more than ±5%, the injection pressure changes by no more than ±3MPa, and the CO2 concentration is ≤1%.
[0015] Beneficial effects of the present invention: 1. Based on the feasibility of CO2 deep-sea rock and soil storage, the present invention provides intelligent excavation and storage integrated equipment and methods for injecting and sealing CO2 into deep-sea rock and soil, injecting CO2 into the cavity and cracks of deep rock and soil under the seabed, avoiding the risk of CO2 storage in the shallow seabed being recirculated to the atmosphere with the ocean current, and realizing the permanent storage of CO2 in deep-sea rock and soil; 2. The present invention uses liquid CO2 to provide power for the earth-breaking and excavation mechanism through a hydraulic chamber, a propulsion ring, and a retractable mechanism. During the excavation process, the expansion and anchoring of the propulsion ring also plays a certain role in the stability of the drill bit; 3. The present invention uses a drill bit adaptive adjustment system to adjust the drill bit speed according to different seabed rock and soil types immediately after the surface sediments reach the destruction level; 4. The present invention uses an intelligent monitoring and control system to classify the storage layer according to its porosity and permeability characteristics, and regulates the liquid CO2 injection rate and injection time, thereby achieving dynamic real-time regulation of the liquid CO2 injection and storage process.

The plume diffusion caused by the groundbreaking process is suppressed by the plume suppression cover. As the groundbreaking depth increases, the plume suppression cover shrinks continuously and always stays above the seabed. When the CO2 injection storage device is completely excavated under the seabed, the plume suppression cover stops shrinking; S5. The surface soil type is sensed through the intelligent detection system, and the jet breaking parameters are adjusted according to the shallow soil type. When the shallow seabed soil reaches the degree of destruction, the polycrystalline diamond composite drill bit at the front end of the earth-breaking and excavation system starts to work, and the drill bit adaptive adjustment system is used to adjust the drill bit speed according to the soil type. The specific steps are as follows: ① Soft soil layer: The jet velocity is controlled at 6-8 m / s. When the drill bit is sunk to a depth of more than 50 cm, the speed is controlled at 60-80 rpm. ②Medium-dense soil layer: The jet speed is controlled at 8-10 m / s. When the drill bit is sunk to a depth of more than 30 cm, the polycrystalline diamond composite drill bit at the front end of the soil-breaking and excavation system starts working at 80-100 rpm. ③Hard soil layer: The jet speed is controlled at 10-12 m / s. When the drill bit is sunk to a depth of more than 20 cm, the polycrystalline diamond composite drill bit at the front end of the soil-breaking and excavation system starts to work at 100-150 rpm; S6. When the CO2 injection storage device passes through the shallow soil to reach the rock layer, the intelligent detection system senses the change of the rock and soil type, and adjusts the jet speed and drill speed in real time according to the transition between different soil and rock layers. The specific steps are as follows: ① When the shallow soil turns into hard rock, the jet velocity is controlled to 15-20 m / s and the drill speed is controlled to 80-100 rpm; ② When the shallow soil turns into soft rock, the jet velocity is controlled to 12-15 m / s and the drill speed is controlled to 60-80rpm; S7. Provide driving power for the CO2 injection and storage device through the hydraulic chamber, the propulsion ring, and the retractable mechanism. The steps are as follows: ① Release the liquid CO2 in the hydraulic chamber to the fourth propulsion ring. After the fourth propulsion ring is filled with liquid CO2 and expanded and anchored, control the push rod 3 to push out and make the third telescopic ring extend and move forward; ② Continue to release the liquid CO2 in the fourth propulsion ring into the third propulsion ring, so that the third propulsion ring expands and anchors, and control the push rod 2 to push out, so that the second telescopic ring extends and moves forward; ③Continue to release the liquid CO2 in the third propulsion ring into the second propulsion ring, so that the second propulsion ring expands and anchors, and control the push rod 1 to push out, so that the first telescopic ring extends and moves forward; ④Finally, the liquid CO2 in the second propulsion ring is released into the first propulsion ring, and then the liquid CO2 is returned to the hydraulic chamber for use in the next excavation cycle; S8, loop S6, during the excavation process, CO2 is injected into the storage device, and the excavation is carried out under the seabed according to the preset path based on the high-precision positioning and navigation system, and the rotation angle of the drill bit is controlled to be between 0.5° and 3° through the rotary steering system; S9. During the CO2 injection into the storage device and excavation process, the suction pipeline sucks seawater into the water storage tank, and the seawater in the water storage tank is sprayed through the second jet nozzle to clean up the rock debris generated during the excavation process; S10. Upon reaching the preset sealing storage layer, the rock type and the distribution of rock cracks and cavities are detected by using an acoustic wave reflection detector, the reservoir characteristics are evaluated according to the porosity and permeability of the sealing storage layer, and the injection state of the CO2 injection and storage device is adjusted in real time by using an intelligent monitoring and control system; S11. When the porosity of the sealing storage layer is 20%-30% and the permeability is greater than 1000mD, it is judged as a good sealing environment and the injection rate and injection volume should be appropriately increased; when the porosity is 10%-20% and the permeability is 100-1000mD, it is judged as a general sealing environment and the injection rate and injection volume should be reduced; S12. After arriving at the preset storage location and completing the detection of rock mass fissures and passing the analysis, the liquid CO2 in the hydraulic tank is released through the jet nozzle, and the liquid CO2 is pumped into the CO2 injection pipeline at a pressure of ≥8MPa through the energy power supply system, and finally the liquid CO2 is injected into the rock mass fissures under the deep seabed through the CO2 storage injection device for storage; S13. During the carbon storage process, flow meters, pressure sensors, and gas sensors deployed on the offshore injection platform and CO2 injection pipeline start working to monitor the liquid CO2 injection flow, injection pressure, and CO2 concentration in real time to ensure that the liquid CO2 injection flow rate changes by no more than ±5%, the injection pressure changes by no more than ±3MPa, and the CO2 concentration is ≤1%.
