Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method, system, equipment and medium for optimizing the recovery rate in two stages of ultra-deepwater gas field development, and belongs to the field of ultra-deepwater gas field development. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous growth of global energy demand, the development of ultra-deepwater gas fields has increasingly become an important part of the offshore oil and gas development in China. Due to its special geological and environmental conditions, such as extreme high temperature and high pressure environments, the ultra-deepwater gas field poses higher requirements for extraction technologies. In this context, how to ensure the flow safety during the oil and gas transportation process is the main challenge in the development of ultra-deepwater gas fields. Among them, the slug problem in the pipeline is representative: ① When the pipeline throughput is less than the recommended minimum throughput, the slug causes the logistics in the pipeline to be unable to be discharged normally, which has an adverse impact on production; ② The liquid accumulation in the pipeline is usually treated by pigging, but when the wellhead pressure is insufficient, the pig cannot operate normally. Therefore, slug control during pigging and ensuring a safe throughput are essential links in the development of ultra-deepwater gas fields.

[0003] For ultra-deepwater gas fields with different characteristics, adopting a suitable transportation mode is the key to solving the above problems. As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, traditional ultra-deepwater gas fields usually adopt single-pipe or double-pipe transportation modes for oil and gas transportation, but each has its limitations: Although the single-pipe transportation mode has low investment costs and a short construction period, when faced with problems such as ensuring a safe throughput and slug control during pigging, it lacks the flexibility of a double-pipe loop, often resulting in low transportation efficiency.

[0004] The double-pipe transportation mode realizes the logistics transportation by constructing a loop between the support platform and the subsea production manifold. Under normal operating conditions, both pipes are transported from the subsea production manifold to the support platform; when the throughput is less than the recommended minimum throughput, the double-pipe transportation mode can use one pipeline to transport natural gas in the reverse direction, increasing the flow rate of the other pipeline and cleaning the liquid accumulation in this pipeline to promote the efficient flow of oil and gas. In addition, during the pigging process, if the pressure of one pipeline in the double-pipe transportation mode is insufficient, the other pipeline can provide pressure through the compressor on the support platform, and the two pipes form a loop to ensure the smooth operation of the pig. However, as the gas field development advances to deeper and farther waters, the high construction and maintenance costs have become the main bottleneck of the double-pipe transportation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method, system, equipment and medium for optimizing the recovery rate in two stages of ultra-deepwater gas field development, which realizes the maximization of cost-benefit during the entire development stage and improves the pipeline transportation efficiency by integrating the advantages of single-pipe and double-pipe transportation modes.

Detailed Embodiments

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the described embodiments of the present invention fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] It should be noted that the terms used here are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present invention. As used here, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, they specify the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0023] With the continuous expansion of ultra-deepwater gas field development, its development boundary has gradually extended to marginal gas fields, resulting in a significant increase in the physical distance between the gas field and the existing supporting platforms. Based on existing research findings, in the bottom area of the riser, the slugging phenomenon is particularly severe, resulting in a drastic fluctuation in the liquid flow rate at the outlet of the subsea pipeline.

[0024] In view of the challenges faced in the development of ultra-deepwater gas fields, in some embodiments of the present invention, an optimization method for the two-stage recovery factor in the development of ultra-deepwater gas fields is proposed. By configuring a lifting pipeline at a preset position between the horizontal section and the riser section, the development of ultra-deepwater gas fields is divided into two stages. The present invention adopts a transportation strategy that is implemented in stages and combines pipeline transportation efficiency and cost-effectiveness. According to the characteristics of different development stages, appropriate transportation methods are adopted to address problems such as pipeline liquid holdup and slugging, ensuring the safety and efficiency of the oil and gas transportation process.

[0025] Correspondingly, in some other embodiments of the present invention, an optimization system, equipment, and medium for the two-stage recovery factor in the development of ultra-deepwater gas fields are provided.

[0026] Embodiment 1 As Figure 3 shown, the present invention proposes an optimization method for the two-stage recovery factor in the development of ultra-deepwater gas fields, which includes the following steps: 1) Calculate the pipeline starting pressure through the pressure gradient, and obtain the relationship between the pipeline throughput, pipeline pressure, and liquid holdup according to the change in pipeline throughput, and then determine the recommended minimum throughput. 2) Design the subsea production system, and control the subsea production system of ultra-deepwater to adopt a single-pipeline transportation method or a double-pipeline transportation method for oil and gas transportation based on the recommended minimum throughput, so as to improve the recovery factor.

[0027] Further, in the above step 1), the following steps are included: 1.1) Determine the energy conservation equation when the gas-liquid two-phase mixture flows along the pipeline under steady flow.

[0028] Specifically, the energy conservation equation is expressed as: (1) In the formula, represents the average pressure (absolute) of the flowing medium in the pipe section, Pa; represents the density of the gas-liquid mixture; represents the pipe section length, m; represents the gas-liquid mixture flow velocity, m / s; g represents the gravitational acceleration, m / s 2 ; represents the inner diameter of the pipeline, m; represents the two-phase mixed transportation hydraulic friction coefficient.

[0029] 1.2) Transform the energy conservation equation to obtain the pressure gradient calculation formula, and solve the pipeline starting pressure.

[0030] Each item in formula (1) is the pressure energy, kinetic energy, potential energy, and along the pipe length of the unit mass gas-liquid mixtured Energy lost due to friction during flow. Rewriting formula (1) into the form of pressure drop gradient, we have: (2) It can be seen from formula (2) that the total pressure drop gradient of the pipeline can be expressed as the sum of the kinetic energy per unit length of the pipeline, the change in potential energy and the friction loss.

[0031] The calculation formula of the kinetic energy change term is: (3) (4) In the formula, Indicates gas mass flow rate, kg / s; Indicates the gas phase density under pipeline conditions, kg / m 3 ; Indicates the gas phase converted velocity, m / s.

[0032] Substituting equation (4) into equation (2), and considering the true density calculation formula (5) of the gas-liquid mixture, the cross-sectional liquid content is Replacement cross-sectional air content , then the kinetic energy change term can be expressed as: (5) (6) In the formula, Indicates the liquid density under pipeline conditions, kg / m 3 ; A Indicates the cross-sectional area of ​​the pipe, m 2 ; Indicates the change in length.

[0033] The calculation formula for the potential energy change term is: (7) In the formula, Indicates the elevation angle of the pipe section, with upslope being positive and downslope being negative (°).

[0034] According to the fluid density of the gas-liquid mixture , the calculation formula of friction loss term is: (8) In the formula, Indicates the mass flow rate of gas-liquid mixture, kg / s.

[0035] Substituting the expressions (6), (7) and (8) of each loss into (2), the calculation formula of the pressure drop gradient after considering the influence of pipeline fluctuation is obtained as follows: (9) 1.3) Based on the pipeline starting pressure and pressure drop gradient, obtain the relationships among pipeline throughput, pressure, and liquid holdup according to the change in pipeline throughput, and determine the recommended minimum throughput.

[0036] As Figure 4 shown, when the throughput is on the right side of the recommended minimum throughput, both the pipeline liquid holdup and slug volume meet the requirements for safe and stable production. At this time, the single - pipe transportation mode can be adopted. As the development project progresses, the throughput gradually shifts to the left side of the recommended minimum throughput, resulting in an increase in pipeline pressure and liquid holdup, which is not conducive to the normal operation of the pipeline.

[0037] Furthermore, in the above - mentioned step 2), it includes the following steps: 2.1) Design the ultra - deep - water subsea production system so that it can switch the transportation mode according to the development stage of the ultra - deep - water oil and gas field. 2.2) Determine the development stage of the ultra - deep - water oil and gas field according to the relationship between the current pipeline throughput and the recommended minimum throughput, and control the ultra - deep - water subsea production system to adopt the single - pipe transportation mode or the double - pipe transportation mode for oil and gas transportation.

[0038] Furthermore, in the above - mentioned step 2.1), as Figure 5a and Figure 5b shown, it is a schematic diagram of the ultra - deep - water subsea production system proposed by the present invention. The main facilities and equipment of this system include a subsea production manifold, PLEM (Pipeline End Manifold), PLET (Pipeline End Termination), lifting pipelines, and a support platform. Among them, the subsea production manifold is connected to one end of the PLEM through a horizontal pipeline, and the other end of the PLEM is connected to the support platform through a riser pipeline. The cooperation of the support platform, PLEM, and subsea production manifold can achieve the single - pipe transportation mode in the early stage of exploitation; one end of the PLET is connected to the PLEM, and the other end is connected to the support platform through a lifting pipeline. The cooperation of the PLET, PLEM, subsea production manifold, lifting pipelines, and support platform can achieve the double - pipe transportation mode in the later stage of exploitation.

[0039] In this embodiment, the subsea production manifold, as one of the core equipment of the ultra - deep - water subsea production system, has the functions of collecting and distributing fluids, regulating pressure and flow rate, and performing preliminary separation and treatment in some cases. The PLEM is a system composed of branch pipelines for fluid gathering and distribution. The PLET is a connection bridge between the pipeline and subsea production facilities, usually connected to the end of the pipeline, and is interconnected with other subsea production facilities through jumper pipes.

[0040] Furthermore, in the above - mentioned step 2.2), it includes the following steps: 2.2.1) Determine the installation location and installation time of the PLEM and lifting pipelines according to the process constraint conditions and actual production requirements.

[0041] In the stage where the throughput is greater than the recommended minimum throughput, a single - pipe transportation mode is adopted, and a PLEM is installed in advance so as to add lifting pipelines later when needed.

[0042] In the stage where the throughput is less than the recommended minimum throughput, in order to solve the problems of rising pipeline pressure and increasing liquid holdup, in this embodiment, a lifting pipeline is added between the horizontal section and the riser section, and the problems of rising pressure and increasing liquid accumulation are solved through a double - pipe transportation mode. On the premise of meeting the requirements of pipeline transportation technology, the key of the present invention lies in determining the installation position and installation time of the lifting pipeline. This position needs to comprehensively consider various factors, including the pressure distribution of the pipeline, the flow characteristics of the fluid, and the technological requirements of production facilities, etc. When determining the installation position of the lifting pipeline, the position of the lifting pipeline should be able to relieve the slugging phenomenon in the riser section to the greatest extent; the construction and operation of the lifting pipeline should not cause interference or impact on the existing production facilities; the installation position of the lifting pipeline should be convenient for later maintenance and repair.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the installation position of the lifting pipeline needs to meet the following constraint conditions:

[0044] Among them, represents the volume flow rate of condensate oil, m 3 / d; represents the condensate oil treatment capacity of the platform, m 3 / d; represents the volume flow rate of the liquid, m 3 / d; represents the ethylene glycol recovery capacity of the platform, m 3 / d; represents the volume flow rate of natural gas, m 3 / d; represents the natural gas treatment capacity of the platform, m 3 / d; represents the external transportation capacity of the platform compressor, m 3 / d; represents the flow velocity of natural gas, m / s; represents the outlet temperature of the slug catcher, °C; represents the lowest required temperature of the steel, °C.
