[0002] The electric heat tracing system for oil pipelines is a heating technology for oil pipelines. In a low-temperature environment, the transported oil may become viscous or even solidify. The electric heat tracing system for oil pipelines can provide a constant heating temperature to ensure that the oil maintains appropriate fluidity, avoid pipeline blockage and reduced flow. By installing heating cables or heating tapes on the pipeline surface to provide a constant temperature for the pipeline. However, since the properties of oil are different from those of water, its specific heat capacity is related to the ambient temperature, and the specific heat capacity of oil will change at different temperatures. Therefore, the heat absorption capacity of oil will also be affected. Therefore, how to more precisely control the temperature of the heat tracing cable to improve the heat preservation effect of the oil and the pipeline is an urgent problem for technicians to solve.

It can be seen that although the disclosed oilfield pipeline heat tracing control system discloses a technical solution for controlling the heat tracing system according to the collected technical parameters, there are the following problems: due to the changes in the crude oil temperature and the soil temperature around the buried pipeline, it is difficult to keep the heating and heat preservation effects of the oil at each position in the pipeline by the electric heat tracing device consistent, resulting in poor control accuracy of the oil temperature.

[0061] When the reference oil quantity is in the first preset reference oil quantity state or the temperature adjustment effect parameter is greater than or equal to the preset temperature adjustment effect parameter, the compensation adjustment unit determines whether to adjust the pipeline tracing unit according to the pipeline liquid flow rate; the length of the front-stage compensation pipeline is related to the difference in liquid flow rate stability;
[0062] Among them, the required data information includes the oil temperature at the inlet end, the oil temperature at the outlet end, the liquid flow rate of the oil, and the ambient temperature.
[0063] Specifically, the oil temperature at the inlet end is the oil temperature at the inlet of the target oil pipeline, the oil temperature at the outlet end is the oil temperature at the outlet of the target oil pipeline, and the oil temperature is detected by a temperature sensor.
[0064] Please refer to Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the pipeline tracing unit includes:
[0065] A number of the first tracing blocks 3 and a number of the second tracing blocks 4. A single first tracing block 3 and a single second tracing block 4 are arranged at intervals on the surface of the target oil pipeline 1. The first tracing block 3 and the second tracing block 4 are tracing wires 2 of the same material but different lengths;
[0066] A heat insulation layer (not shown), which is arranged on the outer surface of the target oil pipeline 1 and covers the first tracing block 3 and the second tracing block 4 to prevent heat loss of the target oil pipeline 1;
[0067] Among them, the heating length of the first tracing block 3 for the target oil pipeline 1 is greater than that of the second tracing block 4 for the target oil pipeline 1. Each first tracing block 3 and each second tracing block 4 are connected to a separately controlled switch component.
[0068] The tracing wire 2 includes two heating cables 5. The surface of a single heating cable 5 is covered with an insulating protective layer 6, and the two heating cables 5 are jointly covered with a low-halogen polyolefin sheath layer 7.
[0069] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 As shown, the data analysis unit determines the working mode of the pipeline heat tracing unit according to the oil fluid reference quantity under the first data analysis condition;
[0070] If the oil fluid reference quantity is in the first preset oil fluid reference quantity state, the data analysis unit determines that the pipeline heat tracing unit continuously adopts the first working mode;
[0071] If the oil fluid reference quantity is in the second preset oil fluid reference quantity state, the data analysis unit determines that the pipeline heat tracing unit adopts the second working mode;
[0072] The first working mode is that only the heat tracing temperatures of the first heat tracing block and the second heat tracing block are the same; the second working mode is that the first heat tracing block and the second heat tracing block adopt segmented heat tracing;
[0073] Among them, the first preset oil fluid reference quantity state is that the oil fluid temperature difference is less than the preset oil fluid temperature difference and the oil fluid temperature at the outlet end meets the standard, the second preset oil fluid reference quantity state is that the oil fluid temperature difference is greater than the preset oil fluid temperature difference and / or the oil fluid temperature at the outlet end does not meet the standard, the first data analysis condition is that the pipeline heat tracing unit works for a preset duration in the first working mode. When the pipeline heat tracing unit is started and operated, the first working mode is used. When the working duration in the first working mode reaches the working preset duration, the data analysis unit re-determines the working mode of the pipeline heat tracing unit according to the oil fluid reference quantity under the first data analysis condition, so as to ensure that the working mode of the pipeline heat tracing unit is more in line with the actual application scenario.
[0074] Specifically, the oil fluid temperature difference is the difference obtained by subtracting the oil fluid temperature at the outlet end from the oil fluid temperature at the inlet end. For the value of the preset oil fluid temperature difference, the user can detect the viscosity of the oil fluid at different temperatures and record the temperature corresponding to the oil fluid with the viscosity meeting the user's requirements as the required temperature. The preset oil fluid temperature difference is the difference obtained by subtracting the required temperature from the oil fluid temperature at the inlet end. If the oil fluid temperature difference is less than 0, the data analysis unit determines that the pipeline temperature is too high and transmits the determination information to the user to remind to control and reduce the temperature of the pipeline heat tracing unit. A device for measuring the viscosity of the oil fluid is provided. A rotational viscometer is used to measure the viscosity of the oil fluid. The rotational viscometer stirs the oil fluid by rotating the measurer and measures the required torque or rotational speed to determine the viscosity. The viscosity unit is mPa·s; the working preset duration can be set by the user according to the actual application scenario, which is easy to understand for those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here.
[0075] Specifically, the data analysis unit increases and adjusts the heat tracing temperature of the first heat tracing block according to the oil fluid temperature at the outlet end under the second data analysis condition;
[0076] The increase in the oil temperature at the outlet end is negatively correlated with the increase in the heating temperature of the first heating module;
[0077] Wherein, the second data analysis condition is that the reference oil quantity is in the second preset reference oil quantity state.
[0078] Specifically, the data analysis unit determines whether to adjust the second heating module according to the temperature adjustment effect parameter under the third data analysis condition;
[0079] If the temperature adjustment effect parameter is greater than or equal to the preset temperature adjustment effect parameter, the data analysis unit determines that there is no need to adjust the second heating module;
[0080] If the temperature adjustment effect parameter is less than the preset temperature adjustment effect parameter, the data analysis unit determines to increase the heating temperature of the second heating module;
[0081] Wherein, the third data analysis condition is that the increase adjustment of the heating temperature of the first heating module is completed and the operation duration of the pipeline heating unit reaches the preset response duration after the adjustment is completed.
[0082] Specifically, the preset response duration can be determined by the user through experiments, that is, an oil sample at the inlet end is obtained, the oil samples at different temperatures are heated up, and the average value of the sum of the heating durations corresponding to when the viscosity of the oil meets the viscosity requirement of the user is recorded as the preset response duration. The temperature adjustment effect parameter is the change in the oil temperature at the outlet end within a single adjustment monitoring period, and the change is an absolute value. The value of the preset temperature adjustment effect parameter is 60% of the oil temperature difference.
[0083] Specifically, the compensation adjustment unit determines the adjustment method of the second heating module according to the difference in the temperature adjustment effect parameter under the first compensation adjustment condition;
[0084] If the difference in the temperature adjustment effect parameter is within the first preset effect parameter difference range, the compensation adjustment unit determines to increase the heating temperature of the second heating module corresponding to the subsequent compensation pipeline;
[0085] If the difference in the temperature adjustment effect parameter is within the second preset effect parameter difference range, the compensation adjustment unit determines to uniformly increase the temperature of the second heating module;
[0086] The increase in the heating temperature of the second heating module is positively correlated with the difference in the temperature adjustment effect parameter;
[0087] Wherein, the first compensation adjustment condition is that the temperature adjustment effect parameter is less than the preset temperature adjustment effect parameter.
[0088] Specifically, the difference in the temperature adjustment effect parameter is the value obtained by subtracting the temperature adjustment effect parameter from the preset temperature adjustment effect parameter. The values within the first preset effect parameter difference range are all less than or equal to 30% of the oil temperature difference, and the values within the second preset effect parameter difference range are all greater than 30% of the oil temperature difference.
[0089] Specifically, the compensation adjustment unit determines the length of the subsequent compensation pipeline according to the average initial oil temperature under the second compensation adjustment condition.
[0090] There is a negative correlation between the initial oil temperature and the length of the subsequent compensation pipeline.
[0091] Among them, the second compensation adjustment condition is that the difference in the temperature adjustment effect parameter is within the first preset effect parameter difference range.
[0092] Specifically, the part of the target oil pipeline with a corresponding length starting from the outlet end is denoted as the subsequent compensation pipeline. The average initial oil temperature is the average of the oil temperatures detected at the outlet end during the temperature monitoring period. The information acquisition unit detects the oil temperature at the outlet end N times within a single temperature monitoring period. The average of the oil temperatures at the outlet end is the average of the sum of the N oil temperatures at the outlet end within a single temperature monitoring period. The values of the temperature monitoring period and N can be set by the user according to the actual working scenario. The larger the number of N, the more accurate the average of the oil temperatures at the outlet end represents the oil temperature at the outlet end.
[0093] Specifically, the compensation adjustment unit detects the pipeline liquid flow rate under the third compensation adjustment condition and determines whether to adjust the pipeline heat tracing unit according to the pipeline liquid flow rate.
[0094] If the pipeline liquid flow rate is in the first pipeline liquid flow rate state, the compensation adjustment unit determines that there is no need to adjust the pipeline heat tracing unit.
[0095] If the pipeline liquid flow rate is in the second pipeline liquid flow rate state, the compensation adjustment unit determines whether to adjust the heat tracing temperature of the first heat tracing block corresponding to the forward compensation pipeline according to the pipeline pressure.
[0096] Among them, the third compensation adjustment condition is that the oil reference quantity is in the first preset oil reference quantity state or the temperature adjustment effect parameter is greater than or equal to the preset temperature adjustment effect parameter. The first pipeline liquid flow rate state is that the liquid flow rate stability is greater than or equal to the preset liquid flow rate stability, and the second pipeline liquid flow rate state is that the liquid flow rate stability is less than the preset liquid flow rate stability.
[0097] Specifically, the information acquisition unit detects the pipeline liquid flow rate every 10 minutes, and records the absolute value of the difference between the currently detected pipeline liquid flow rate and the pipeline liquid flow rate detected most recently as the pipeline flow rate stability. If the difference between the currently detected pipeline liquid flow rate and the pipeline liquid flow rate detected most recently is greater than 0, there is no need to adjust the heating temperature of the first heating block. The preset liquid flow rate stability is 10% of the pipeline liquid flow rate detected most recently. Due to the non-fixed viscosity of the oil liquid at the inlet end, the heating temperature of the first heating block corresponding to the forward compensation pipeline is adjusted according to the liquid flow rate stability, so as to avoid the excessive viscosity of the oil liquid affecting the oil liquid flow rate.
[0098] Specifically, the compensation adjustment unit determines the length of the forward compensation pipeline according to the liquid flow rate stability difference under the fourth compensation adjustment condition.
[0099] The length of the forward compensation pipeline has a positive correlation with the liquid flow rate stability difference.
[0100] Among them, the fourth compensation adjustment condition is that the pipeline liquid flow rate is in the second pipeline liquid flow rate state. The adjustment of the heating temperature of the first heating block corresponding to the forward compensation pipeline is an increase adjustment. The increase amount of the heating temperature of the first heating block has a positive correlation with the liquid flow rate stability difference. The liquid flow rate stability difference is the absolute value of the difference between the liquid flow rate stability and the preset liquid flow rate stability. The first heating block corresponding to the forward compensation pipeline is the complete first heating block on the forward compensation pipeline. The complete first heating block means that the entire first heating block is located on the forward compensation pipeline. The second heating block corresponding to the rearward compensation pipeline is the complete second heating block on the rearward compensation pipeline.
[0101] Specifically, the part of the target oil pipeline with a corresponding length starting from the inlet end is recorded as the forward compensation pipeline. The first heating module and the second heating module are respectively provided with an opening temperature, and the opening temperature is related to the current ambient temperature.
