Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of offshore oil production safety, and in particular to an evaluation method, system, processing equipment and storage medium for the volume of an explosion gas cloud on an open offshore natural gas platform. Background Art

[0002] With the development of China's offshore oil industry, an increasing number of large, fully integrated offshore gas fields have been discovered. The development of these large-scale gas fields relies on offshore natural gas platforms. Offshore natural gas platforms process natural gas on a large scale and with complex processes. The risks of natural gas leaks, fires, and explosions pose a serious threat to the structural safety and personnel security of these platforms. To ensure safety, offshore natural gas platforms are equipped with fire and gas detection systems, emergency shutdown systems, emergency venting systems, fire protection systems, passive fire prevention measures, and barrier and explosion-proofing facilities. These systems, facilities, and measures form a protective layer, safeguarding offshore platforms from the hazards of serious fires and explosions.

[0003] The volume of explosive gas cloud formed by leakage is an important basic data for the design of fire and gas detection systems and barrier fire and explosion prevention facilities. The design of fire and gas detection systems and barrier fire and explosion prevention facilities is carried out in the basic design stage. The calculation of the volume of explosive gas cloud formed by leakage can generally be based on empirical formula methods such as Gaussian model, or based on CFD (computational fluid dynamics) simulation and other methods.

[0004] However, the above methods have certain shortcomings: 1) Empirical formula methods such as the Gaussian model cannot take into account the impact of physical obstructions. For offshore platforms with cramped space and severe obstructions, the calculation results are less accurate; 2) The calculation cycle of the method based on CFD simulation is long, which is difficult to match the progress requirements of engineering design optimization and adjustment; 3) The calculation results based on empirical formula methods such as the Gaussian model are relatively conservative. The strength of the barrier and explosion-proof facilities designed based on this method is often too conservative, resulting in an increase in the weight of the offshore platform and an increase in the construction and operation costs of the offshore platform.

[0051] Example 1

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for evaluating the volume of an explosion cloud on an open offshore natural gas platform, comprising the following steps:

[0053] 1) Construct and train an explosion cloud volume assessment model to obtain a trained explosion cloud volume assessment model, specifically:

[0054] 1.1) In the process flow diagram of the oil and gas processing system of an offshore natural gas platform, the oil and gas processing system is divided into several leakage units, specifically:

[0055] 1.1.1) Identify valves with shutoff functions in the process flow diagram (PFD) of the oil and gas processing system of an offshore natural gas platform.

[0056] 1.1.2) Divide the entire oil and gas processing system into several leakage units based on the location of valves with shut-off functions.

[0057] Specifically, the leakage unit is characterized in that after being shut down, hydrocarbon substances will not enter other leakage units from one leakage unit.

[0058] More specifically, the leaking units are marked in the process flow diagram using markers of different colors.

[0059] 1.2) Classify the leakage types of equipment in the oil and gas processing system of offshore natural gas platforms.

[0060] Specifically, the leakage of equipment in the oil and gas processing system of an offshore natural gas platform is divided into different types according to the leakage aperture or initial leakage rate.

[0061] More specifically, the leakage types classified according to the leakage aperture include small leakage, medium leakage, large leakage and large leakage, wherein the leakage aperture of small leakage is 0-5mm, the leakage aperture of medium leakage is 5-50mm, the leakage aperture of large leakage is 50-100mm, and the leakage aperture of large leakage is 150-full release, as shown in Table 1 below:

[0063] Leakage diameter Aperture lower limit (mm) Upper limit of aperture (mm) Small leaks 0 5 Medium leak 5 50 Large leak 50 150 Large rupture 150 Complete release

[0064] 1.3) Determine the operating pressure and size of all equipment within each identified leakage unit.

[0065] Specifically, the operating pressure and size of all equipment in each leakage unit are determined based on the Pipe and Instrument Diagram (P&ID), mechanical equipment table, and material balance sheet of the oil and gas processing system of the offshore natural gas platform.

[0066] More specifically, the equipment to be counted includes compressors, pumps, pressure vessels, filters, heat exchangers, transmitter and receiver cylinders, valves, flanges, process pipelines, and instrument connection points.

[0067] 1.4) Based on the classified leakage types and the determined operating pressure and size, calculate the material inventory of all equipment in each leakage unit under emergency shutdown conditions and the initial leakage rate of equipment with different leakage types.

[0068] Specifically, under emergency shutdown conditions, the material inventory in the equipment within the leakage unit is related to the equipment volume, operating liquid level, etc. Therefore, the specific process of this step is:

[0069] 1.4.1) Calculate the volume of all equipment within each leakage unit based on the determined dimensions of all equipment within each leakage unit.

[0070] 1.4.2) Calculate the material inventory of all equipment within each leakage unit based on the volume, operating liquid level, and relevant parameters in the material balance sheet (flow, temperature, pressure, material composition, etc.).

[0071] 1.4.3) Using a leak rate calculation model, calculate the initial leak rate for all devices within each leak unit based on the determined operating pressures and classified leak types. It should be noted that this leak rate calculation model is publicly available in the prior art, and the specific process is not detailed here.

[0072] 1.5) As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the open area ratio of the open surface of the offshore natural gas platform and the ratio of the unfilled space between decks are calculated as follows:

[0073] 1.5.1) Based on the elevation drawing of the offshore natural gas platform, calculate the proportion of the open areas of the offshore natural gas platform (usually three) to the total area.

[0074] 1.5.2) Calculate the ratio of the unfilled space between decks of the offshore natural gas platform to the total space between decks based on the dimensions of all equipment within each leakage unit, combined with the piping and main structure dimensions of all equipment within each leakage unit.

[0075] 1.6) Based on the material inventory of all equipment in each leakage unit under emergency shutdown conditions and the initial leakage rate of equipment with different leakage types, determine the simulated working conditions and then determine the gas cloud volume corresponding to each simulated working condition, specifically:

[0076] 1.6.1) Build a full-scale geometric model of the offshore natural gas platform.

[0077] 1.6.2) Select several leak points based on the calculated material inventory of all equipment within each leak unit under emergency shutdown conditions and the initial leakage rates of equipment with different leakage types.

[0078] Specifically, no less than four leakage points are selected and evenly distributed in the entire process area of ​​the offshore natural gas platform, and the positions of the leakage points are represented by coordinates.

[0079] 1.6.3) Combine the selected leakage points with the environmental conditions to determine several simulated operating conditions.

[0080] Specifically, the environmental conditions include at least eight directions, and at least four wind speeds are selected in each direction.

[0081] 1.6.4) Based on the determined simulation conditions, perform transient CFD simulations of natural gas leakage and diffusion, obtain the time-varying curves of the gas cloud volume for each simulation condition, and extract the largest gas cloud volume.

[0082] Specifically, after performing transient CFD simulation of natural gas leakage and diffusion under the determined simulation conditions, the gas cloud volumes corresponding to a certain number of simulation conditions are obtained, which serve as training samples for the subsequent neural network model.

[0083] 1.7) Establish an explosion cloud volume assessment model. Based on the operating pressure of all equipment in each leakage unit, the material inventory of all equipment in each leakage unit under emergency shutdown conditions, the ratio of unfilled space between decks of offshore natural gas platforms to the total space between platforms, and the gas cloud volume corresponding to each simulated working condition, the established explosion cloud volume assessment model is trained to obtain a trained explosion cloud volume assessment model, specifically:

[0087] Where n is the number of nodes in the input layer; m is the number of nodes in the output layer; and a is a constant between 1 and 10, determined based on data fitting.

[0088] More specifically, the BP neural network model's input layer includes 11 input parameters: the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the leak point location, the leak aperture at the leak point, the equipment operating pressure, the material inventory of all equipment within each leak unit under emergency shutdown conditions, the open area ratio of the offshore gas platform's open face and the ratio of unfilled space between decks, wind speed and direction, the angle between the leak direction and the north of the offshore gas platform, and the angle between the wind direction and the north of the offshore gas platform. The BP neural network model's output layer is the gas cloud volume corresponding to each simulated operating condition.

[0089] Furthermore, according to formula (1), the number of nodes in the hidden layer is 5 to 14. If a is 4, the number of nodes in the hidden layer is 8.

[0090] 1.7.2) Based on the determined abscissa and ordinate coordinates of the leak point location, the leak aperture at the leak point, the equipment operating pressure, the material inventory of all equipment within each leak unit under emergency shutdown conditions, the open area ratio of the open surface of the offshore natural gas platform and the ratio of unfilled space between decks, wind speed and direction, the angle between the leak direction and the north of the offshore natural gas platform, the angle between the wind direction and the north of the offshore natural gas platform, and the gas cloud volume corresponding to each simulated operating condition, the established BP neural network model is trained to obtain a trained explosion gas cloud volume assessment model.

[0091] Specifically, based on the input parameters of a certain number of simulated working conditions obtained in step 6) and the gas cloud volume corresponding to each simulated working condition, a neural network training sample set for the input layer and output layer is established, the activation functions of the hidden layer and output layer are selected, and the established BP neural network model is trained to obtain a trained explosion gas cloud volume assessment model.
