Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas extraction, and more specifically, to an intelligent emergency cut-off protection control system for oil and gas wellheads. Background Art
[0002] The wellhead refers to the top part of an oil or gas well, that is, the opening of the well, which is the place where it is connected to surface equipment during the entire oil and gas extraction process. The wellhead includes many key facilities, such as valves, pressure monitoring equipment, etc., for controlling the outflow of oil and gas and monitoring the wellhead. The "intelligent emergency cut-off protection device and control system for oil and gas wellheads" incorporates intelligent technologies on the basis of traditional oil and gas wellhead emergency cut-off protection devices to improve its response speed, accuracy, and automation level.
[0003] Deficiencies of the prior art:
[0004] Existing wellhead leakage detection systems usually rely on simple threshold judgments and are easily interfered by environmental changes and noise, resulting in low detection accuracy and long response times, and being unable to reflect changes in wellhead conditions in real time. Most current technologies only perform protection control for a single wellhead, ignoring the synergistic effect between multiple wellheads. This single-wellhead protection may not be able to effectively cope with complex production environments and emergencies.
[0005] When a wellhead leakage occurs, the existing control system may not be able to accurately determine the specific location and severity of the leakage, resulting in inaccurate cut-off control force, and there may be a risk of over-cutting or untimely cutting. Traditional wellhead control systems rely on manual judgment and intervention. Once an abnormality occurs, the response speed and judgment accuracy of humans may lead to untimely or inaccurate control, and it is impossible to achieve rapid automated response. Therefore, the present invention proposes an intelligent emergency cut-off protection control system for oil and gas wellheads to achieve emergency cut-off when a leakage occurs at the oil and gas wellhead.

[0063] 2. The present invention solves the problem of collaborative protection among multiple wellheads through the multi-wellhead collaboration module. When a leakage occurs at one wellhead, the system can perform collaborative adjustment with the protection devices of the surrounding wellheads through signal transmission. Through preset strategies and collaborative working calculation formulas, the production and pressure of the surrounding wellheads can be adjusted in real time, avoiding the impact on the overall system when a single wellhead leaks, and improving the overall stability and safety of the system. One of the greatest advantages of this system is automation and intelligence. By using advanced machine learning algorithms and automatic control technologies, the need for manual intervention is reduced, greatly improving the response speed and processing accuracy. This not only enhances the safety of the wellhead but also reduces the risks brought by human operations. Different from the traditional judgment method based on a single threshold, the system combines machine learning algorithms through a comprehensive judgment function, making leakage detection more accurate, cut-off control more efficient, and adaptable to different working conditions. It can flexibly adjust the cut-off strategy, enabling precise control at the initial stage of leakage, reducing the risks of misjudgment and improper handling. Through functions such as data collection, intelligent leakage judgment, automatic cut-off control, and multi-wellhead collaborative work, the efficiency of wellhead leakage detection and emergency handling is significantly improved, avoiding problems such as slow response, inaccurate judgment, and insufficient collaboration in the prior art, and enhancing the safety, stability, and automation level of the wellhead. These advantages make the system more reliable and intelligent in complex production environments, and it is an effective supplement and improvement to the existing technology.

[0068] The gas flow data includes gas concentration, gas outburst rate, and flow rate change rate;
[0069] Methane is the main component of natural gas, and leakage usually leads to an increase in concentration. In order to monitor and judge gas leakage, the wellhead cut-off protection device usually monitors the methane component and its concentration;

[0081] In the formula, C is the gas concentration, n is the number of electron transfers, E is the output voltage, is the standard battery voltage, is the influence coefficient of the interfering gas on the sensor output, is the concentration of the interfering gas, F is the Faraday constant, R is the gas constant, T is the absolute temperature, r is the time constant of the sensor, and t is the dynamic response time.
[0082] It should be noted that the sensor should be installed at a position where it can fully contact the escaping gas and is not overly interfered by the air flow. For example, it can be installed at a certain height above the wellhead on a vertical pipeline.

[0088] The process of gas emission rate is as follows: Set a measurement area at the wellhead. This area is a cross-section perpendicular to the gas emission direction, and the area of the measurement area is denoted as A;
[0089] Obtain the pressures before and after the orifice plate and the gas pressure, and calculate the pressure difference before and after the orifice plate according to the pressures before and after the orifice plate;
[0090] Use an orifice plate gas flowmeter to measure the gas flow rate passing through this measurement area, and calculate the gas emission rate in combination with the area of the measurement area. The specific calculation formula is:
[0091] ;
[0092] In the formula, v is the gas emission rate; A is the area of the measurement area; is the flow coefficient of the orifice plate flowmeter, which is determined according to the structure and installation method of the orifice plate and can be obtained by referring to relevant manuals; is the orifice area of the orifice plate, which is determined according to the design dimensions of the orifice plate; is the pressure difference before and after the orifice plate; R is the gas constant, T is the absolute temperature, is the gas pressure data, is the gas flow rate.
[0093] The process of obtaining the flow rate change rate is as follows:

[0103] The process of obtaining the weight coefficient is as follows:
[0104] Collect a large amount of wellhead working condition data, including data under normal working conditions and different types and degrees of leakage working conditions;
[0105] For each set of data, mark whether leakage occurs according to the actual situation. If leakage occurs, mark it as 1, and if no leakage occurs, mark it as 0, and use these data as the training data set;
[0106] The process of determining the weight coefficient in the comprehensive judgment function using the logistic regression algorithm is as follows:
[0107] Divide the training dataset into a training set and a validation set. Use the training set to train the logistic regression model. Continuously adjust the weight coefficients through an iterative optimization algorithm. During the training process, regularly use the validation set to evaluate the model and observe the prediction accuracy of the model on the validation set. When the prediction accuracy of the model on the validation set no longer improves or reaches the expected performance requirements, stop the training to obtain the final weight coefficients.
[0108] It should be noted that the logistic regression algorithm can handle binary classification problems. By learning the relationship between each feature in the training dataset and the annotation results, the weight coefficients are optimized so that the function can accurately classify whether there is a leak at the wellhead. The loss function between the prediction result and the actual annotation result is minimized by continuously adjusting the weight coefficients.
[0109] Compare the leak judgment value with the leak threshold to determine whether a leak has occurred. The process is as follows:
[0110] If the leak judgment value is greater than the preset leak threshold, it is judged that a leak will occur, and a cut-off process is performed according to the adaptive cut-off control module;
[0111] If the leak judgment value is less than the preset leak threshold, it is judged that no leak has occurred, and the wellhead condition data is continuously monitored.

[0115] And evaluate the leak severity based on the gas concentration change rate and the pressure change rate using a leak severity evaluation model to obtain the evaluation level S;

[0119] The process of controlling the cutting device to perform the cutting action according to the cutting force is as follows:
[0120] Convert the cutting force value into a binary digital signal according to the coding rule. Each bit represents different force magnitude information, and transmit the digital signal from the control system to the cutting device;
[0121] The cutting device receives the signal and performs a decoding operation to restore the binary digital signal to the cutting force according to the pre-set coding rule;
[0122] According to the magnitude of the cutting force value, the control system sends corresponding control signals to the control valve and the power source. The control valve adjusts the opening of the valve core according to this signal, thereby changing the flow rate and pressure of the hydraulic oil entering the hydraulic cylinder;
[0123] When the power source receives the power control signal and generates the corresponding driving force, it will drive the gate to move. During the movement, the gate gradually approaches and finally closely fits the valve seat, thereby blocking the gas flow and completing the cutting action.
[0124] The multi-well cooperation module is used to, when a leakage occurs at a wellhead, the control system sends a leakage signal to the surrounding wellhead protection devices. The surrounding wellhead protection devices adjust their production and pressure according to the preset strategy and the cooperation working calculation formula to achieve cooperative protection.
[0125] The leakage signal of the wellhead is monitored in real time by a sensor. Once a leakage occurs, the abnormal signal detected by the sensor will be transmitted to the control system;
[0126] The control system determines that the signal is a leakage signal through the intelligent control module and immediately sends the leakage information to the protection devices of the surrounding wellheads;
[0127] After receiving the leakage signal, the protection devices of the surrounding wellheads start to work cooperatively according to the preset strategy, and adjust the production and pressure according to the cooperation working calculation formula based on the current wellhead leakage situation to ensure the stability of the overall well group and avoid more serious wellhead leakage or other safety problems;
[0128] The calculation process of adjusting the production and pressure is as follows:
[0129] Let the number of surrounding wellheads be m, and the distance between the j-th surrounding wellhead and the accident wellhead be , the peripheral wellhead protection device adjusts its own production and pressure according to the preset strategy and the collaborative working calculation formula.

The formula is obtained by collecting a large amount of data for software simulation to get a formula closest to the real situation. The preset parameters in the formula are set by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation.
