Description

Technical Field

[0002] As an important production facility in the development of offshore oil and natural gas, underwater manifolds are mainly used to collect and transport fluids generated by seabed wellheads to platforms or other production facilities. However, due to the complex structure of underwater manifolds and the special working environment, they face a variety of risks that may cause leakage, such as pipeline aging, wear, corrosion and external forces. The above risks not only lead to a decrease in the production efficiency of underwater manifolds and cause additional economic losses, but may also have a serious impact on the marine ecological environment.

[0003] Further research has found that the dynamic pressure (fluctuation) signal generated by the leakage of the internal fluid of the underwater manifold can be monitored by using pressure wave sensors or other sensing devices; and when abnormal pressure drops or fluctuates rapidly, the leakage of the underwater manifold can be determined and identified. In addition, by installing multiple pressure sensing devices at different locations, the specific location of the leakage point can be calculated based on time inversion or other algorithms according to the time difference of the pressure wave reaching each sensing device.

[0004] However, the inventors found that the structure of the existing underwater manifolds in service is very complex (support structures, anti-fishing nets and other protective equipment are also integrated on the outside), and the underwater environment is changeable and noisy, which brings great difficulty to monitoring the dynamic pressure signals generated by leakage. Therefore, it is urgent for those skilled in the art to design and provide a new underwater manifold leakage positioning method and system to achieve online monitoring and precise positioning of underwater manifold leakage, so as to quickly respond to potential leakage events and provide assistance to ensure the safe and efficient development of oil and gas production.

[0019] The present invention provides a method and system for locating underwater manifold leakage based on dynamic pressure signals. By calculating the leakage characteristics of the collected dynamic pressure signals and correcting the pressure wave propagation velocity, accurate positioning of underwater manifold production system leakage is achieved, providing technical support for rapid response of leakage monitoring and ensuring the continuity of underwater production.

[0020] Specifically, the present invention provides a method for locating underwater manifold leakage based on dynamic pressure signals, such as Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included: Step P1: Calculate the leakage characteristics of the dynamic pressure signal under multiphase flow medium conditions.

[0021] It should be pointed out that under different phase conditions in multiphase flow, the leakage characteristics of the dynamic pressure signal generated by the underwater manifold due to leakage are different, such as amplitude, frequency component, and energy. Therefore, in order to realize the signal processing of the dynamic pressure signal under multiphase flow medium conditions, it is first necessary to study the leakage characteristics of the dynamic pressure signal under multiphase flow medium conditions.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the process of calculating the leakage characteristics of the dynamic pressure signal under the multiphase flow medium condition in step P1 is specifically described as follows: Step P101: Perform modal decomposition on the leakage characteristics of the dynamic pressure signal under multiphase flow medium conditions, and decompose it into multiple inherent modal functions.

[0023] Each intrinsic mode function represents a different component in the dynamic pressure signal and has different physical meanings. To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, an empirically based mode decomposition algorithm is provided as an example.

[0024] Table 1 shows the modal decomposition algorithm of dynamic pressure signal based on experience .

[0025] Step P102: Perform Hilbert-Huang transform on each intrinsic mode function to obtain the instantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude of each intrinsic mode function.

[0026] After completing step P101, a series of intrinsic modal functions (IMF) can be obtained. On this basis, step P102 is further implemented. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, step P102 is specifically described as follows: The Hilbert-Huang transform of any intrinsic mode function c(t) satisfies: (1); In formula (1), c(t) represents the intrinsic mode function; P represents the Cauchy principal value; τ represents the time difference.

[0027] Among them, the analytical signal z(t) of the intrinsic mode function (it should be supplemented that the analytical signal z(t) of the intrinsic mode function is usually composed of the original signal and its Hilbert transform) further satisfies: (2); In formula (2), t represents time; A(t) represents the instantaneous amplitude of the intrinsic mode function c(t); represents the instantaneous phase of the intrinsic mode function c(t).

[0028] Instantaneous amplitude A(t) and instantaneous phase , respectively satisfying: (3); (4); For instantaneous phase Take the derivative and get the instantaneous frequency ,satisfy: (5).

[0029] Step P103: Perform weighted processing on the instantaneous amplitude and describe it in the time-frequency plane dimension to obtain the Hilbert spectrum of the dynamic pressure signal under the condition of gas-liquid two-phase intermittent flow.

[0030] On the basis of completing step P102, further implement step P103. It should be noted that the leakage characteristics of the dynamic pressure signal are non-stationary; the corresponding leakage losses are different in the early, middle and late stages of the leakage. In addition, affected by the gas-liquid ratio of the two-phase flow, its characteristics will also change dynamically. Therefore, step P103 can effectively study the above dynamic changes through the Hilbert Spectrum and Hilbert Marginal Spectrum analysis process, obtain the time-frequency characteristics of the dynamic pressure signal, and reveal the main frequency components and energy distribution laws of the leakage characteristics of the dynamic pressure signal in different phases, which will help determine the operating status (evaluation) of the underwater manifold and locate the leakage point in the subsequent steps.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the Hilbert spectrum of the dynamic pressure signal under the condition of gas-liquid two-phase intermittent flow medium obtained in step P103 satisfies: (6); Further, by performing time integration processing on equation (6), the Hilbert yellow edge spectrum of the dynamic pressure signal under the condition of gas-liquid two-phase intermittent flow medium is obtained (the Hilbert yellow edge spectrum represents the accumulation of amplitude over the entire time length; thus, it can reflect the amplitude change corresponding to each frequency), which satisfies: (7).

[0032] Step P104: Based on a statistical method, the amplitude characteristics of the pressure drop change rate in the leakage characteristics of the dynamic pressure signal generated by the leakage of fluids in different phases are analyzed.

[0033] On the basis of completing step P103, further implement step P104. It should be added that the most obvious change in the leakage characteristics is the change in the pressure value. The peak value and pressure difference value of the dynamic pressure signal generated by the leakage of fluids in different phases will be different. Therefore, studying its characteristics is of great significance for locating the leakage point in the subsequent steps. Here, the signal characteristics are mainly studied from the aspect of discreteness, and the evaluation index is selected as the pressure drop change rate.

[0034] Furthermore, the pressure drop change rate refers to the rate at which the pressure after leakage decreases relative to the original pressure after the fluid pressure drops due to leakage, which reflects the degree of fluid leakage. Due to the presence of external noise and other interference, when calculating the pressure drop change rate of the dynamic pressure signal, the average pressure value within a certain length of data points is selected to replace the pressure value before and after the leakage.

[0035] Specifically, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pressure drop change rate in the leakage characteristic of the dynamic pressure signal generated by the leakage of fluids in different phases in step P104 satisfies: (8); In formula (8), r represents the voltage drop change rate; t represents time; x(t) represents the discrete time signal; and n represents the number of data points.

[0036] Step P2: Correct the propagation speed of the dynamic pressure signal under multiphase flow medium conditions.

[0037] After completing step P1, step P2 is further implemented. It is worth noting that since the propagation speed of the dynamic pressure signal (generated by the leak) has an important influence on the accuracy of leak point location, it is necessary to correct the propagation speed of the dynamic pressure signal under multiphase flow medium conditions before locating the leak point.

[0038] Specifically, as a more preferred implementation, the process of correcting the propagation velocity of the dynamic pressure signal under the multiphase flow medium condition in step P2 is specifically described as follows: The propagation speed of dynamic pressure signal under single-phase fluid medium conditions satisfies: (9); In formula (9), K represents the fluid bulk elastic modulus coefficient; ρ represents the fluid bulk density function.

[0039] Among them, the fluid bulk elastic modulus coefficient K satisfies: (10); In formula (10), α represents the compressibility coefficient; V represents the volume of the fluid medium; and dp represents the pressure.

[0040] According to the mass relationship, the fluid volume satisfies: (11).

[0041] Substituting formula (11) into formula (10), we get: (12).

[0042] Substituting equation (12) into equation (9), we obtain: (13).

[0043] Then, the propagation velocity of the dynamic pressure signal under the condition of gas-liquid two-phase intermittent flow medium is further derived to satisfy: (14); In formula (14), K g Represents the bulk elastic modulus of the gas in the tube; K l Represents the bulk elastic modulus of the liquid in the tube; K a represents the bulk elastic modulus of the pipeline material; β represents the volumetric gas content of the gas-liquid two-phase flow; D represents the inner diameter of the pipeline; e represents the wall thickness of the pipeline; ρ l represents the density of the liquid in the tube; ρ g Indicates the density of the gas in the tube.

[0044] One point that needs to be supplemented is that, through the above correction steps, the calculation and correction of the propagation speed of the dynamic pressure signal of the liquid phase, gas-liquid two phases, and gas phase in the multiphase flow is realized. On this basis, the concept of gas-liquid flow ratio is further introduced to achieve the purpose of correcting the propagation speed of the dynamic pressure signal under the condition of multiphase flow medium.

[0045] Among them, the gas-liquid flow ratio refers to the ratio of the gas phase flow to the liquid phase flow, which satisfies: (15); In formula (15), q g Indicates the volume flow rate of gas in the pipe; q l Indicates the volume flow rate of liquid in the pipe.

[0046] Among them, the volume gas content satisfies: (16); In formula (16), V g Indicates the volume of gas in the tube; V l Indicates the volume of liquid in the tube.

[0047] The cross-sectional area of ​​the pipe in the underwater manifold is defined as A, then the flow velocity u of the gas phase and liquid phase in the fluid medium is g 、u l , respectively satisfying: (17).

[0048] The volumetric gas content in the tube within a certain time t is derived to satisfy: (18).

[0049] Then the relationship between volume gas content and gas-liquid flow ratio satisfies: (19).

[0050] Substituting equation (19) into equation (14), we obtain the propagation velocity correction formula of the dynamic pressure signal under multiphase flow medium conditions, which satisfies: (20); In formula (20), K g Represents the bulk elastic modulus of the gas in the tube; K l Represents the bulk elastic modulus of the liquid in the tube; K a represents the bulk elastic modulus of the pipeline material; β represents the gas-liquid ratio under multiphase flow medium conditions; D represents the inner diameter of the pipeline; e represents the wall thickness of the pipeline; ρ l represents the density of the liquid in the tube; ρ g Indicates the density of the gas in the tube.

[0051] Step P3: Calculate the location of underwater manifold leakage under multiphase flow medium conditions.

[0052] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the process of calculating the location of the underwater manifold leakage under the multiphase flow medium condition in step P3 can be specifically described as follows: Leak point location, meet: (27); In formula (27), X represents the leakage location; L represents the distance between the two sensors in the positioning network; v represents the propagation speed of the corrected dynamic pressure signal; Δt represents the time difference.

[0053] It is worth noting that due to the differences in fluid media in different phases, the reconstructed signal after filtering will still have a small amount of interference components, such as the influence of multiple working conditions such as starting and stopping the pump and frequency conversion. Therefore, the characteristics in the dynamic pressure signal generated by the sudden leakage will be submerged by other signals. In order to accurately and effectively capture this transient feature, it is necessary to further intercept the signal data during the sudden leakage.

[0054] Here, based on the interval correlation analysis method, the data segment in the dynamic pressure signal during leakage is extracted, and the cross-correlation peak analysis is performed to calculate the time difference Δt. The specific calculation steps can be referred to as follows: First, the dynamic pressure signal under multiphase flow medium conditions is extracted and divided into k intervals at equal intervals according to the time series x(t), and the data value x in each interval is obtained. i (t); where i=0,1,2,…,k.

[0055] Calculate the mean x in each interval i (t) avg . The mean value x of the latter interval i+1 (t) avg The average value x of the previous period i (t) avg Subtract and get the difference d i . The average value x in each interval is i (t) avg , the mean value x of the next interval i+1 (t) avg , difference d i , respectively satisfying: (28); (29); (30).

[0056] Find d i The maximum value index m of is the inflection point of the sudden instantaneous leakage. The maximum value index m satisfies: (31).

[0057] The data x(t) of the dynamic pressure signal when leakage occurs is extracted.

[0058] Based on the data x at both ends of the data x(t) 1 (t), x 2 (t), and find the peak value by combining the correlation analysis formula to calculate the time difference Δt.

[0059] Among them, the correlation analysis formula satisfies: (32); In formula (32), G 11 (f), G 22 (f) represents x 1 (t), x 2 (t) autocorrelation function; G 12 (f) represents x 1 (t), x 2 (t) is the cross-correlation function of

[0060] In addition, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the present invention provides an underwater manifold leakage locating method based on dynamic pressure signals, which further includes the following steps before implementing step P3: Step P30: Perform wavelet packet filtering preprocessing on the dynamic pressure signal under multiphase flow medium conditions.

[0061] It is worth noting that the use of wavelet packet filtering method to pre-process the dynamic pressure signal when a leak occurs can significantly distinguish between low-frequency components and high-frequency components, filter out high-frequency noise, improve the quality of leakage information, and thus enhance the signal recognizability.

[0062] Specifically, the denoising preprocessing method based on wavelet packet filtering can be referred to as follows: Assume that the original signal is S(0,0), S(n,j) represents the decomposition signal corresponding to the nth layer (i.e. the number of decomposition scales) and the jth node. Then, the dynamic pressure signal is decomposed by an n-layer wavelet packet, and its structure is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The structure diagram of wavelet packet filter transform decomposition. The signal obtained by wavelet packet decomposition satisfies the following relationship: (twenty one); In (21), when the number of nodes j is an even number, it represents the low-frequency component signal obtained by decomposition by the low-pass filter coefficient g(k); conversely, when j is an odd number, it represents the high-frequency component signal obtained by decomposition by the high-pass filter coefficient h(k).

[0063] The high-pass and low-pass filter coefficients satisfy the following orthogonal relationship: (twenty two); Among them, the decomposed signal obtained at the nth decomposition layer can be obtained by calculating layer by layer according to equations (23) and (24).

[0064] (twenty three); (twenty four); According to the above decomposition method, after the signal is decomposed in the nth layer of wavelet packets, 2n decomposed signals will be obtained, and each decomposed signal corresponds to a certain frequency range. Assuming that the sampling frequency of the original signal is fs, the frequency range of the jth sub-signal decomposed in the nth layer can be expressed as [fl,fh], and the expressions of the frequency lower limit fl and upper limit fh can be expressed as: (25); (26); Combined with the time-frequency characteristic analysis of the dynamic pressure signal, the corresponding sub-signals of the wavelet packet decomposition are extracted and reconstructed according to the main frequency band occupied during leakage, so as to complete the denoising of the dynamic pressure signal.

[0065] Finally, one point that needs to be supplemented is that according to the pipeline where the leakage source is located based on the dynamic pressure signal, combined with the influence of factors such as phase change and gas content, the attenuation of pressure data makes it difficult to accurately identify the sensors at the beginning and end of the pipeline where the leakage source is located. The concept of short-time energy is selected here; among them, short-time energy is a time domain feature for analyzing the local characteristics of the signal, which can usually be used to capture the energy changes of the signal in a short time. By monitoring the instantaneous energy of the signal, its dynamic change process can be intuitively reflected (such as sudden leakage of the pipeline will cause a sudden drop in pressure), so analyzing the short-time energy of the dynamic pressure signal can effectively capture this transient feature. By framing the short-time energy in the dynamic pressure signal, a higher resolution can be provided in the time domain, and some interference noise can be further filtered out.

[0066] On the other hand, the present invention also provides an underwater manifold leakage locating system based on dynamic pressure signals. The underwater manifold leakage locating system based on dynamic pressure signals includes: a main control station and an underwater control module installed inside the basic frame of the underwater manifold.
