Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas pipelines, and in particular to a method for standardizing a design chapter based on integrity management of oil and gas pipelines. Background Art
[0002] The concept of integrity management of oil and gas pipelines has been introduced for many years. At the beginning, more focus was placed on in-service pipelines, and the integrity management of newly built oil and gas pipelines lagged behind. In order to continuously and comprehensively promote the integrity management of oil and gas pipelines, expand the breadth of integrity management, gradually achieve full coverage of integrity management of oil and gas pipelines, and carry out in-depth integrity management in the construction stage of oil and gas pipelines, the writing of integrity management chapters should be gradually carried out in the design documents. From the design stage, the life prediction, resource allocation and classification of oil and gas pipeline integrity management should be started. Through classification, data collection, baseline detection, risk identification and high consequence area identification should be carried out according to different categories, so as to facilitate the efficient and accurate operation of integrity management in the operation management stage. At present, there are no unified standards, requirements and specific methods for the writing of integrity management chapters of oil and gas pipelines. In order to standardize the scope, depth and technical requirements of integrity management chapters in design documents, a unified method is needed. This invention discloses a standardized writing method for the writing of design chapters of integrity management of oil and gas pipelines in the construction stage. Summary of the invention

[0006] Step 2: classify the pipelines according to the maximum operating pressure and diameter of the pipelines in step 1 and determine the pipeline grade;
[0007] Step 3: Based on the pipeline categories determined in step 2, establish data collection and integration procedures to specify the integrity management data collection during the construction period;
[0008] Step 4: Based on the pipeline category determined in step 2, establish the baseline inspection operation procedures for oil and gas pipelines during the construction period and compile the baseline inspection requirements;

[0047] 5) Risk analysis and countermeasures for pipelines passing through special areas
[0048] The risk types when pipelines pass through special areas mainly include: pipelines crossing rivers, pipelines crossing roads, railways, environmentally sensitive areas, etc.
[0049] This section of pipeline adopts video surveillance, intercom system and medium leakage alarm system safety measures at the crossing points, and the wall thickness is increased by one level when crossing environmentally sensitive areas.
[0050] 6) Risk analysis and countermeasures of other factors
[0051] Compare and analyze accidents that occur under similar conditions and propose targeted risk management measures.
[0052] The risk types of other pipeline factors mainly include: design quality risks, prefabrication process risks, construction process risks, special materials and equipment risks, etc.
[0053] E Design Company is a Class A design company in the industry with quality certifications such as ISO9001 and ISO14001. The company has a detailed quality management system. Regarding design quality, it undergoes program planning, research, three-level review by the design company, review by the regional company, and review by the head office, which can reduce design quality risks and ensure design quality.
[0054] The risks in the construction process mainly include welding quality, construction safety, and pipeline damage. A detailed construction plan should be prepared before construction, and construction can only be carried out after the construction plan is reviewed and approved by the supervisor and the owner.
[0055] Preferably, the specific implementation method of step six is as follows: adopt a single pipeline identification method, and in the high consequence area identification stage, mainly use regional image maps, topographic maps and combine them with on-site mapping to conduct risk factor investigations, and investigate and identify buildings along the pipeline, residential areas, public places, industrial parks, towns and villages, underground pipelines, roads, dangerous places, protection areas, water sources, rivers, large and medium-sized reservoirs, canals, etc.
[0056] Measures during the construction period:

This pipeline determines the anti-corrosion layer based on the soil corrosiveness, and adopts a three-layer PE ordinary grade anti-corrosion outer anti-corrosion layer. At the same time, cathodic protection is used to control the external corrosion rate of the pipeline. According to the explanation in the "Technical Specification for Cathodic Protection of Buried Steel Pipelines" GB / T21448-2017, the corrosion rate of metal materials in electrolytes is determined by the potential of the material. The protection potential of the pipeline is within the protection range of the cathodic protection potential. The corrosion rate of the metal pipeline is less than 0.01mm / a, and the pipeline corrosion in 30 years is less than 0.3mm. The wall thickness margin of the pipeline in this project is 1mm. Based on the current use and experience of the oil field company's built and operated pipelines, this project sets the design life of the pipeline at 20 years.
[0072] Classify the pipelines according to Table 1, Table 2, and Table 3 and determine the pipeline level.
[0073] Table 1 Classification standards for oil pipelines
[0074]
[0075] Table 2 Classification standards for water supply and injection pipelines
[0076]

[0080]
[0081] Preferably, the design life prediction requires taking measures in combination with design specifications and corrosion rates to determine the pipeline life and increase the reference service life for the operation and management stage.
[0082] Further, cost calculation.
