Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of three-phase metering of oil well fluids, and more specifically to an oil-gas-water mixed transportation and boosting three-phase metering skid. Background Art
[0002] During the oilfield development process, accurately obtaining the oil, gas, and water volumes of oil wells and calculating parameters such as the water cut and gas-oil ratio of oil wells are important bases for formulating oil well production increase measures and compiling development adjustment plans. Accurately measuring the three-phase flow rates of oil, gas, and water through a three-phase metering device can help oilfield enterprises better understand the production status of oil wells and optimize production management.
[0003] In existing three-phase metering devices, a hydrocyclone is used to separate gas and liquid from oil well fluids. The hydrocyclone needs to discharge liquid at an appropriate liquid level, and the appropriate liquid level helps to maintain the pressure stability inside the separator. Too high or too low a liquid level will break the pressure balance between the gas and liquid phases inside the separator, which may cause pressure fluctuations and affect the stability of the entire process flow. Existing three-phase metering devices cannot ensure that the oil well fluids are discharged at an appropriate liquid level after separation, and cannot ensure the stability of the process flow. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an oil-gas-water mixed transportation and boosting three-phase metering skid. By setting a liquid level gauge to detect the liquid level inside the main hydrocyclone in real time, and setting an electric three-way valve to connect the gas outlet channel and the liquid outlet channel, setting the upper and lower liquid level control limits: the upper liquid level H high and the lower liquid level H low. The liquid level gauge measures the liquid level in the main hydrocyclone in real time. Before the liquid level reaches the set upper liquid level H high, the electric three-way valve closes the liquid outlet channel and opens the gas outlet channel to detect the gas flow rate. When the liquid level accumulates to the set upper liquid level H high, the liquid level gauge switches the state of the electric three-way valve through the control system, closes the gas outlet channel, and opens the liquid outlet channel. The separated liquid enters the production manifold after the liquid volume and water cut are measured by a mass flow meter and a water cut analyzer through the liquid outlet channel. When the liquid level drops to the lower liquid level H low, the liquid level gauge switches the state of the electric three-way valve again through the control system to measure the gas again. In this way, by controlling the switching of the electric three-way valve back and forth, the liquid level, pressure of the control system, and the oil well production and water cut are measured to ensure the stability of the measurement results and the process flow.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention: 1. By setting a liquid level gauge to detect the liquid level in the main cyclone separator in real time, setting an electric three-way valve to connect the gas outlet channel and the liquid outlet channel, and setting the upper and lower limits of liquid level control: the upper liquid level H high and the lower liquid level H low. The liquid level gauge measures the liquid level in the main cyclone separator in real time. Before the liquid level reaches the set upper liquid level H high, the electric three-way valve closes the liquid outlet channel and opens the gas outlet channel to detect the gas flow. When the liquid level accumulates to the set upper liquid level H high, the liquid level gauge switches the state of the electric three-way valve through the control system, closes the gas outlet channel, and opens the liquid outlet channel. The separated liquid enters the production manifold after the liquid volume and water content are measured by the mass flow meter and the water content analyzer through the liquid outlet channel. When the liquid level drops to the lower liquid level H low, the liquid level gauge switches the state of the electric three-way valve again through the control system and measures the gas again. In this way, by controlling the switching of the electric three-way valve back and forth, the liquid level, pressure of the control system, and the oil well production and water content are measured to ensure the stability of the measurement results and the technological process.
[0016] 2. By setting a secondary cyclone separator, when the liquid level of the main cyclone separator reaches the set upper liquid level H high, the control system closes the secondary liquid outlet pipe, and the main liquid outlet pipe is unobstructed. The liquid separated in the main cyclone separator enters the liquid outlet channel for detection, and the separated gas is detected through the gas outlet channel and the branch pipe two and then flows into the production manifold. When the liquid level of the secondary cyclone separator reaches the set upper liquid level H high, the control system closes the main liquid outlet pipe, and the secondary liquid outlet pipe is unobstructed. The liquid separated in the secondary cyclone separator enters the liquid outlet channel for detection, and the separated gas is detected through the gas outlet channel and the branch pipe two and then flows into the production manifold. Through the above structural settings, it is ensured that the liquid path and the gas path are always unobstructed, and each detection device is always working, greatly improving the measurement efficiency.
[0017] 3. Through the structural settings of the quick-connect sleeve and the quick connector, the installation and disassembly speed between pipelines is greatly improved, and the pipeline can be automatically sealed after separation, facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the cyclone separator and facilitating the switching between the single cyclone separator working mode and the double cyclone separator working mode of the present invention.

Detailed implementation manners
[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Apparently, the described embodiments are only some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present disclosure. The components of the embodiments of the present disclosure described and illustrated herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present disclosure is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure claimed, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0021] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, the present invention discloses a three-phase metering skid for boosting the mixed transportation of oil, gas and water, which includes a main cyclone separator 1, an air outlet channel 16, a first branch pipe 17 and a liquid outlet channel 19. A main feed pipe 101, a main gas outlet pipe 102, a main liquid outlet pipe 103 and a main sewage discharge pipe 104 are fixedly installed on the main cyclone separator 1. A liquid level gauge is arranged inside the main cyclone separator 1. The main gas outlet pipe 102 is communicated with the air outlet channel 16, and the main liquid outlet pipe 103 is communicated with the liquid outlet channel 19. A mass flowmeter 6, a water cut analyzer 7 and an electric three-way valve III 8 are sequentially installed on the liquid outlet channel 19 from one end to the other end. A pressure gauge and a gas flowmeter 3 are installed on the air outlet channel 16. One end of the first branch pipe 17 is communicated with the air outlet channel 16, and the other end of the first branch pipe 17 is connected with one end of the electric three-way valve III 8. The liquid level gauge and the electric three-way valve III 8 are both connected with the control system. According to the production working conditions, the upper and lower limits of liquid level control are set: the upper liquid level H high and the lower liquid level H low. The liquid level gauge measures the liquid level in the main cyclone separator 1 in real time. Before the liquid level reaches the set upper liquid level H high, the electric three-way valve III 8 closes the liquid outlet channel 19, and the separated gas flows into the production manifold through the air outlet channel 16, the gas flowmeter 3 and the electric three-way valve III 8. When the liquid level accumulates to the set upper liquid level H high, the liquid level gauge sends a signal to the electric three-way valve III 8 through the control system, and the electric three-way valve III 8 switches to close the air outlet channel 16, and the liquid path is unblocked. The separated liquid enters the production manifold after the liquid volume and water cut are measured by the mass flowmeter 6 and the water cut analyzer 7 through the liquid outlet channel 19. When the liquid level drops to the lower liquid level H low, the liquid level gauge sends a signal to the electric three-way valve III 8 again through the control system, and the electric three-way valve III 8 switches back to the gas path to measure the gas again. The liquid level gradually accumulates. When it rises to the set upper liquid level H high again, the electric three-way valve III 8 switches again. By controlling the switching of the electric three-way valve III 8 back and forth like this, the liquid level, pressure of the control system, the oil well production and water cut are measured, and the stability of the measurement results and the technological process is ensured.
[0022] In a further embodiment, as Figures 3 - 6As shown in the figure, the present invention further includes a secondary cyclone separator 2, an electric three-way valve II 5, a three-way pipe III 14, and a branch pipe II 18. A secondary feed pipe 201, a secondary gas outlet pipe 202, a secondary liquid outlet pipe 203, and a secondary sewage discharge pipe 204 are fixedly installed on the secondary cyclone separator 2. The electric three-way valve II 5 is fixedly installed between the main liquid outlet pipe 103, the secondary liquid outlet pipe 203, and the liquid outlet channel 19. The main liquid outlet pipe 103, the secondary liquid outlet pipe 203, and the liquid outlet channel 19 are connected through the electric three-way valve II 5. The three-way pipe III 14 is fixedly installed between the main gas outlet pipe 102, the secondary gas outlet pipe 202, and the gas outlet channel 16. The main gas outlet pipe 102, the secondary gas outlet pipe 202, and the gas outlet channel 16 are connected through the three-way pipe III 14. An electric three-way valve I 4 is fixedly installed between the gas outlet channel 16, the branch pipe I 17, and the branch pipe II 18. The gas outlet channel 16, the branch pipe I 17, and the branch pipe II 18 are connected through the electric three-way valve I 4. One end of the electric three-way valve III 8 is fixedly installed with a three-way pipe I 9. One end of the branch pipe II 18 is fixedly connected to one end of the three-way pipe I 9. A check valve 10 is fixedly installed at the other end of the three-way pipe I 9. When only the main cyclone separator 1 is used for gas-liquid separation, the gas path and the liquid path are alternately opened, and the gas phase flow rate and the liquid phase flow rate cannot be continuously measured, resulting in a low measurement efficiency. According to the above structure, the main cyclone separator 1 is fed with liquid and gas-liquid separation is first carried out. The electric three-way valve I 4 and the electric three-way valve III 8 are both switched to the state of closing the branch pipe I 17. When the liquid level in the main cyclone separator 1 reaches the set upper liquid level H high, the main cyclone separator 1 stops feeding liquid, and the secondary cyclone separator 2 is fed with liquid and gas-liquid separation is carried out. The control system closes the secondary liquid outlet pipe 203, and the main liquid outlet pipe 103 is unobstructed. The liquid separated in the main cyclone separator 1 enters the liquid outlet channel 19 for detection, and the separated gas passes through the gas outlet channel 16 and the branch pipe II 18 for detection and then flows into the production manifold. When the liquid level in the secondary cyclone separator 2 reaches the set upper liquid level H high, the secondary cyclone separator 2 stops feeding liquid, and the main cyclone separator 1 is fed with liquid and gas-liquid separation is carried out. The control system closes the main liquid outlet pipe 103, and the secondary liquid outlet pipe 203 is unobstructed. The liquid separated in the secondary cyclone separator 2 enters the liquid outlet channel 19 for detection, and the separated gas passes through the gas outlet channel 16 and the branch pipe II 18 for detection and then flows into the production manifold. Through the above structure, it is ensured that the liquid path and the gas path are always unobstructed, and each detection device is always working, greatly improving the measurement efficiency.
[0023] In a further embodiment, the present invention further includes a main feed pipe 20. An electric three-way valve four 11 is fixedly installed between the main feed pipe 101, the auxiliary feed pipe 201 and the main feed pipe 20. The main feed pipe 101, the auxiliary feed pipe 201 and the main feed pipe 20 are connected through the electric three-way valve four 11. The main feed pipe 20 feeds materials. By controlling the electric three-way valve four 11 through a control system, the connection state between the main feed pipe 101 and the auxiliary feed pipe 201 is switched, and liquid is alternately fed into the main cyclone separator 1 and the auxiliary cyclone separator 2, ensuring that no liquid is fed into the cyclone separator in the measurement state, ensuring the stability of the liquid state in the cyclone separator, and improving the measurement effect. A three-way pipe two 12 is fixedly installed between the main drain pipe 104 and the auxiliary drain pipe 204. The main drain pipe 104 and the auxiliary drain pipe 204 are connected through the three-way pipe two 12, facilitating synchronous drainage of the main cyclone separator 1 and the auxiliary cyclone separator 2.
[0024] In a further embodiment, quick-connect sleeves 13 are fixedly installed at one end of the electric three-way valve two 5, one end of the electric three-way valve four 11, one end of the three-way pipe two 12 and one end of the three-way pipe three 14. Quick connectors 15 are fixedly installed at one end of the auxiliary liquid outlet pipe 203, one end of the auxiliary feed pipe 201, one end of the auxiliary drain pipe 204 and one end of the auxiliary gas outlet pipe 202. Each of the quick-connect sleeves 13 is sleeved on the corresponding quick connector 15, facilitating the installation and disassembly of the auxiliary cyclone separator 2. As Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown in the figure, the quick-connect sleeve 13 includes a quick-connect sleeve housing 131, a movable sleeve 132 and a first spring 133. Spring grooves are provided on the outer wall of the quick-connect sleeve housing 131 and inside the movable sleeve 132. The first spring 133 is disposed at the position where the two spring grooves coincide. One end of the quick-connect sleeve housing 131 is provided with a socket groove, and a plurality of ball holes are arranged in an annular array at one end of the quick-connect sleeve housing 131. A locking bead 134 is slidably installed in each of the plurality of ball holes. A limiting retaining ring 136 is sleeved on the outer wall of one end of the quick-connect sleeve housing 131. A first annular groove 135 is provided on the inner wall of one end of the movable sleeve 132. The quick-connect fitting 15 includes a quick-connect fitting housing 151. A second annular groove 152 is provided on the outer wall of the quick-connect fitting housing 151. Under normal conditions, the first annular groove 135 and the locking bead 134 are out of alignment. The locking bead 134 protrudes from the inner wall of the quick-connect sleeve housing 131. The limiting retaining ring 136 limits the movable sleeve 132 to prevent the movable sleeve 132 from detaching from the quick-connect sleeve housing 131. When the quick-connect fitting 15 is connected to the quick-connect sleeve 13, the movable sleeve 132 is pushed to compress the first spring 133, so that the position of the first annular groove 135 corresponds to the position of the locking bead 134, and the locking bead 134 is in a movable state. The quick-connect fitting housing 151 is inserted into the socket groove. The quick-connect fitting housing 151 pushes the locking bead 134 outwards so that the locking bead 134 enters the first annular groove 135. After the quick-connect fitting housing 151 completely enters the socket groove, the movable sleeve 132 is released. The movable sleeve 132 is reset under the elastic force of the first spring 133. The movable sleeve 132 pushes the locking bead 134 into the second annular groove 152, and the locking bead 134 locks the quick-connect fitting housing 151. Through the settings of the quick-connect fitting 15 and the quick-connect sleeve 13, the secondary cyclone separator 2 can be quickly disassembled and assembled. The diameter of the socket groove is smaller than the outer diameter of the quick-connect fitting housing 151, and a sealing ring 137 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the socket groove to seal the connection between the quick-connect fitting housing 151 and the quick-connect sleeve housing 131.
[0025] An internal self-sealing component is provided inside both the quick-connect housing 131 and the quick-connector housing 151. The self-sealing component includes a fixed sleeve 154, a movable member 153, an inclined surface ring 157, and a second spring 155. The fixed sleeve 154 and the inclined surface ring 157 are both fixedly installed on the inner wall of the corresponding housing. The movable member 153 includes a long rod, a conical member, and a short rod. The long rod is fixedly connected to one end of the conical member, and the short rod is fixedly connected to the other end of the conical member. The long rod passes through the fixed sleeve 154. The second spring 155 is sleeved on the long rod, and the second spring 155 is disposed between the fixed sleeve 154 and the conical member. A sealing gasket 156 is fixedly connected to the inclined surface of the conical member. The inclined surface of the inclined surface ring 157 is arranged opposite to the inclined surface of the conical member, and the sealing gasket 156 is attached to the inclined surface of the inclined surface ring 157. The short rod passes through the middle of the inclined surface ring 157. Under normal conditions, the second spring 155 is in a compressed state. The elastic force of the second spring 155 pushes the movable member 153 to press against the inclined surface ring 157, and the sealing gasket 156 tightly adheres to the inclined surface of the inclined surface ring 157. The pipelines on both sides of the inclined surface ring 157 are not connected. When an external force contacts the short rod and pushes the movable member 153, the movable member 153 compresses the second spring 155, and the sealing gasket 156 separates from the inclined surface of the inclined surface ring 157. The pipelines on both sides of the inclined surface ring 157 are connected. When this structure is provided at the end of the pipeline, it is ensured that when the two connected pipelines are separated, the end of the pipeline remains in a sealed state.
[0026] The internal structure of the main cyclone separator 1 is the same as that of the secondary cyclone separator 2. As Figure 9 shown, an air riser 105 is inserted through the top of the main cyclone separator 1. A liquid baffle 106 is fixedly installed at the top inside the main cyclone separator 1. The liquid baffle 106 is sleeved outside the air riser 105. The lower end of the liquid baffle 106 is in the same plane as the lower end of the air riser 105, and the horizontal height of the main feed pipe 101 is higher than the horizontal height of the lower end of the liquid baffle 106, preventing the liquid film on the cylinder wall from being discharged with the gas.
[0027] A partition plate 107 is fixedly installed at the bottom inside the main cyclone separator 1. The main liquid outlet pipe 103 is disposed below the partition plate 107, providing a contact surface where the end of the vortex continuously rotates, and at the same time separating the vortex area from the lower liquid pool, avoiding the influence of the tail of the vortex on the liquid at the lower part of the main cyclone separator 1 and the liquid separated to the wall surface. The part of the main liquid outlet pipe 103 extending into the main cyclone separator 1 is arranged in a siphon structure to ensure good sealing at the bottom of the main cyclone separator 1 and guarantee the separation effect.
[0028] Working principle: When the present invention operates in the single cyclone separator mode, the corresponding quick connector 15 and quick coupling 13 are separated, the secondary cyclone separator 2 is removed, and the upper and lower limits of liquid level control are set: the upper liquid level H high and the lower liquid level H low. The liquid level gauge measures the liquid level in the main cyclone separator 1 in real time. Before the liquid level reaches the set upper liquid level H high, the electric three-way valve III 8 closes the liquid outlet channel 19, and the separated gas flows into the production manifold through the gas outlet channel 16, gas flowmeter 3 and electric three-way valve III 8. When the liquid level accumulates to the set upper liquid level H high, the liquid level gauge sends a signal to the electric three-way valve III 8 through the control system, and the electric three-way valve III 8 switches to close the gas outlet channel 16, and the liquid path is unobstructed. The separated liquid enters the production manifold after the liquid volume and water content are measured by the mass flowmeter 6 and water content analyzer 7 through the liquid outlet channel 19. When the liquid level drops to the lower liquid level H low, the liquid level gauge sends a signal to the electric three-way valve III 8 again through the control system, and the electric three-way valve III 8 switches back to the gas path, and the gas is measured again. The liquid level gradually accumulates, and when it rises to the set upper liquid level H high again, the electric three-way valve III 8 switches again. By controlling the switching of the electric three-way valve III 8 back and forth like this, the liquid level, pressure of the control system, and the production and water content of the oil well are measured.
[0029] When operating in the double cyclone separator mode, the corresponding quick connector 15 and quick coupling 13 are connected, the secondary cyclone separator 2 is installed, the main cyclone separator 1 is fed with liquid, and gas-liquid separation is first carried out. The electric three-way valve I 4 and the electric three-way valve III 8 are both switched to the state of closing the branch pipe I 17.
