TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pipeline application, in particular to a pigging cycle monitoring method and system based on pipeline liquid accumulation and hydrate. BACKGROUND
[0002] During gas transmission, due to the existence of pipeline elevation difference, pipeline undulation, temperature change and other conditions, liquid accumulation is easy to form in the pipeline, and the existence of liquid accumulation will have adverse effects on pipeline transmission. In order to solve the problem of pipeline liquid accumulation, regular pipeline pigging operation is the first choice. However, if the pigging operation is set too frequently, not only the cost of the gas pipeline in the running process will increase, but also certain operation risks may be caused; and if the pigging cycle is set too long, the pigging effect will be greatly weakened.
[0003] At present, pipeline pigging operation of each oil and gas mine is faced with complex working conditions such as "upstream and downstream linkage", the flow and pressure of the pipeline change frequently, and the pigging operation of a single pipeline also needs to fully consider the overall pipeline pigging work arrangement and the pigging execution plan of the upstream and downstream, so the existing indicators cannot support the accuracy of the pigging prediction for the overall pipeline under complex working conditions. The model needs to continuously enrich the relevant prediction parameters to adapt to the field working condition data, and needs to use the "expert model + data model" method to repeatedly iterate and optimize, dynamically simulate and calculate the characteristic parameters of each pipeline, predict the running trend data, set different training sets and parameters for simulation calculation and trend analysis, optimize the calculation methods of elevation difference, hydrate and the like, and further improve the accuracy of the model. The accurate management of "one line one model" is realized.
[0004] However, with the continuous iteration and development of the model, each pipeline has its own specific model, and from model development to management and monitoring, a large amount of manpower and time is needed, and various compliance and safety risks exist. How to efficiently manage and monitor the overall model system has become a challenge. SUMMARY

The exemplary embodiments of the present application and their descriptions are only used to explain the present application, and should not be considered as a limitation to the present application.
[0055] As a possible embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 The embodiment provides a pigging cycle monitoring method based on pipeline liquid accumulation and hydrate, which comprises the following specific steps: collecting data, pre-processing the data to obtain a data set; performing multi-dimensional analysis on the data set to extract data features; constructing a pigging cycle prediction model based on the data features; obtaining historical pigging data to train the pigging cycle prediction model; constructing an expert scoring model to obtain expert scores, verifying and optimizing the trained pigging prediction model based on the expert scores, and performing real-time monitoring of pigging based on the optimized pigging cycle prediction model. The task feedback data obtained by the pigging cycle prediction model for real-time monitoring of pigging data, in combination with the expert scores, is used to verify and optimize the pigging prediction model, and the pigging management is performed based on the optimized pigging cycle prediction model, which is more conducive to monitoring and safety evaluation of the health status of the pipeline, and giving an accurate prediction cycle of pigging operation.
[0056] In a possible embodiment, the pigging cycle monitoring method based on pipeline liquid accumulation and hydrate provided by the embodiment can be applied to the field of natural gas gathering and transportation.
[0057] In a possible embodiment, the implementation path of the pigging cycle monitoring method based on pipeline liquid accumulation and hydrate provided by the embodiment comprises:
[0058] Data integration -> data preprocessing -> establishment of prediction model -> real-time monitoring -> pigging suggestion -> pigging prediction result verification -> model iteration optimization.
[0059] In a possible implementation, the data preprocessing includes: cleaning the data, correcting errors, missing or repeated parts in the data, performing data quality assessment and data cleaning operation to ensure the accuracy of the data. The cleaned data is processed in an institutionalized manner to obtain a formatted data set to facilitate subsequent analysis, which can include formatting dates and times, standardizing numerical values, converting data types, etc.
[0060] In a possible implementation, the data set includes pipeline data, dynamic data and pigging operation data; the pipeline data includes static data such as pipeline type, pipeline length, pipe diameter, pipeline elevation and surveying and mapping data, which are mainly obtained from the regional lake master data interface, and the system can be expanded for properties not covered by the master data; the dynamic data includes pipeline operation real-time data such as starting point pressure, ending point pressure, instantaneous flow, metering temperature and derived data such as pipeline transportation efficiency and friction coefficient; the pigging operation data collects pigging operation records of previous years including data such as ball launch time, ball collection time and excess amount.
[0061] In a possible implementation, since the dependent variable characteristics of pigging cannot be directly reflected, static parameters such as the diameter, length and elevation difference of the pipeline through which the pig passes, as well as real-time data such as flow, pressure difference and temperature difference, are determined, combined with pipeline transportation efficiency, simulation data of hydrate and liquid accumulation by simulation software, and pigging characteristic data is extracted according to previous pigging operation conditions. Specifically, static parameters, dynamic parameters and simulation data of hydrate and liquid accumulation by simulation software are obtained; pigging characteristic data is extracted according to previous pigging operation conditions, and data columns that affect pigging characteristics are selected as characteristic columns.

[0068] When the model is iteratively optimized, the pigging model optimizes the pigging suggestions fed back to the operating personnel, and the data before and after the effective pigging times are added to the model for optimization every day, and invalid pigging suggestions are eliminated. The model is verified by historical effective pigging every month to improve the accuracy of the model.
[0069] In a possible implementation, after the pigging prediction model is verified and optimized, the real-time operating condition data (temperature, inlet pressure, outlet pressure, instantaneous flow) of the gathering pipeline are monitored through the pSpace database, and the pipeline operating data in the past 2 hours are extracted according to the data structure of the training set and input into the model to obtain the pipeline health degree of the pipeline during this period. According to the set threshold, it is judged whether to pig or not, and the corresponding management personnel are pushed, and the subsequent feedback to the suggestion is tracked.
[0070] The pigging prediction result verification is that the pigging operating personnel manually judges whether the prediction result of each pigging operation is effective after the prediction message is pushed, and the system is fed back.

[0076] In a possible implementation, the system further comprises a pipeline management module, a model management module, a pipeline monitoring module and a task management module.
