TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil field fracturing operation control, and is a fracturing sand mixing device and pump injection device linkage operation method and device for oil field fracturing operation. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of oil field fracturing operation equipment control, the current technical status presents some significant features. The equipment control systems of the fracturing sand mixing device and the pump injection device are relatively independent, lack of collaboration, and the mutual operation collaboration of the equipment mainly relies on on-site command operation. This independent operation mode has a series of problems when facing abnormal conditions, such as when the sand mixing device is abnormal due to the operation of the fracturing pump injection device, causing the operation displacement to suddenly decrease, resulting in the sand mixing device absorbing more liquid than discharging, and further causing the fracturing liquid in the sand mixing tank to exceed the tank capacity, resulting in a "tank overflow" phenomenon. When the sand mixing device has insufficient liquid supply capacity, air enters the fracturing pump, which causes the fracturing pump to fail to work normally and needs to be stopped for emptying operation, resulting in an "emptying" phenomenon of the fracturing vehicle group. These problems seriously affect the efficiency and engineering quality of the operation.
[0003] In the prior art, the on-site command is the main device for collaborative operation during the fracturing operation construction process. Therefore, when abnormal conditions occur, the fracturing equipment lacks timely automatic response measures, which threatens the safety and stability of the fracturing operation.
[0004] In addition, due to the relative independence of the sand mixing device and the pump injection device, the influence on the operation and the environment cannot be effectively controlled. For example, when the "emptying" phenomenon occurs, the construction displacement fluctuates violently, and the operation must be stopped to re-circulate the emptying of the emptying device, thereby having a negative impact on the overall fracturing operation, and the "tank overflow" phenomenon may cause the liquid to fall to the ground, and the fracturing liquid contains a large amount of chemical raw materials, which poses a potential threat to the environment.

[0063] Step S110, real-time monitoring of the real-time mixing tank liquid level of the sand mixing device and the real-time suction pressure of the fracturing pump injection device;
[0064] Step S120, the real-time mixing tank liquid level of the sand mixing device exceeds the liquid level safety threshold, triggering the anti-overflow safety mechanism, and performing linkage operation according to the anti-overflow safety condition, wherein the anti-overflow safety mechanism is obtained by linkage monitoring of the real-time fracturing construction discharge capacity collected by the sand mixing device and the real-time fracturing construction pressure collected by the instrument system, and adjusting the mixing tank liquid level safety threshold, the suction pump and discharge pump rotating speed of the sand mixing device, the sand concentration, and the fracturing construction discharge capacity according to different monitoring results;
[0065] The above anti-overflow safety condition comprises:
[0066] (1) When V<Vm, the real-time fracturing construction pressure collected by the instrument system is compared, and the mixing tank liquid level safety threshold, the sand mixing device liquid level control valve opening degree, and the suction pump and discharge pump rotating speed of the sand mixing device are adjusted according to the comparison result, wherein V is the real-time fracturing construction discharge capacity collected by the sand mixing device, Vm is the fracturing construction discharge capacity safety threshold, and the numerical comparison is performed by using a plurality of numerical intervals formed by the fracturing construction pressure safety threshold;
[0067] Specifically, it comprises:
[0068] When P<Pm, the mixing tank of the current sand mixing device is in a safe state, and the liquid level control valve can automatically adjust the mixing tank liquid level, wherein P is the real-time fracturing construction pressure collected by the instrument system, and Pm is the fracturing construction pressure safety threshold;
[0069] When Pm≤P<1.2Pm, the mixing tank liquid level safety threshold of the sand mixing device is adjusted by the following formula:
[0070] The mixing tank liquid level safety threshold of the sand mixing device=(Pm / P)*the set mixing tank safety liquid level threshold of the sand mixing device;
[0071] Wherein, P is the real-time fracturing construction pressure collected by the instrument system, and Pm is the fracturing construction pressure safety threshold;
[0072] When P≥1.2Pm, the sand mixing device liquid level control valve opening degree, the sand mixing device suction pump rotating speed, and the sand mixing device discharge pump rotating speed are all adjusted to 0. Here, the sand mixing device liquid level control valve opening degree, the sand mixing device suction pump rotating speed, and the sand mixing device discharge pump rotating speed are all adjusted to 0, so that the sand mixing device stops working, and the pump injection device group stops operation to observe the current pressure, and the real-time fracturing construction discharge capacity collected by the sand mixing device is 0.
[0073] (2) When V = Vm, determine the real-time blowout prevention safety parameter at the current time, and when the blowout prevention safety parameter is not less than 0, reset the sand concentration, and adjust the fracturing construction discharge, the suction pump and the discharge pump speed of the sand mixing device correspondingly, wherein V is the real-time fracturing construction discharge collected by the sand mixing device, and Vm is the fracturing construction discharge safety threshold.
[0074] Specifically, it comprises:
[0075] Determine the real-time blowout prevention safety parameter Q at the current time, and judge it, wherein the blowout prevention safety parameter Q is obtained by real-time derivation of the real-time fracturing construction pressure collected by the fracturing pump injection device on the time axis, that is,
[0076] If Q < 0, the fracturing construction is normal operation;

[0081] (3) When V > Vm, the sand mixing device stirring tank has no risk of “blowout” phenomenon.
[0082] The embodiment of the present application is directed to the problem in the prior art that the sand mixing device suddenly reduces the displacement of the fracturing pump injection device due to abnormal operation of the fracturing pump injection device, which causes the sand mixing device to suck in more liquid than discharge, and further causes the fracturing liquid in the mixing tank of the sand mixing vehicle to exceed the tank capacity, resulting in the phenomenon of "tank overflow". The step S120 is provided to monitor the real-time mixing tank liquid level of the sand mixing device. When the real-time mixing tank liquid level of the sand mixing device exceeds the liquid level safety threshold, the anti-tank overflow safety mechanism is triggered, and the linkage operation is performed according to the anti-tank overflow safety condition. The anti-tank overflow safety condition is obtained by linkage monitoring of the sand mixing device and the fracturing pump injection device, and controlling the mixing tank liquid level safety threshold of the sand mixing device, the suction pump and discharge pump speed of the sand mixing device, the sand concentration, and the fracturing construction displacement according to different monitoring results. The linkage monitoring of the sand mixing device and the fracturing pump injection device is obtained by analyzing the relevant data of the historical "tank overflow" phenomenon. In this embodiment, the anti-tank overflow safety condition is specifically disclosed in step S120.
[0083] In this embodiment, when the real-time mixing tank liquid level of the sand mixing device exceeds the liquid level safety threshold, in response to the real-time fracturing construction displacement V collected by the sand mixing device being less than the fracturing construction displacement safety threshold Vm, the numerical interval of the real-time fracturing construction pressure P collected by the instrument system is determined (i.e., multiple levels of protection are provided), and the corresponding control steps are performed according to the determination result. The core of the control steps is to reduce the risk of abnormal mixing tank liquid level in the sand mixing device. In response to the real-time fracturing construction displacement V collected by the sand mixing device being equal to the fracturing construction displacement safety threshold Vm, the anti-tank overflow safety parameter Q is introduced, and the sand concentration and the fracturing construction displacement are adjusted according to the size of the anti-tank overflow safety parameter Q, so as to ultimately eliminate the risk of "tank overflow" of the mixing tank of the sand mixing device.
[0084] Step S130, the real-time suction pressure of the fracturing pump injection device is less than the suction pressure safety threshold, triggering the anti-evacuation safety mechanism, and performing linkage operation according to the anti-evacuation safety condition. The anti-evacuation safety condition is obtained by linkage interlocking of the real-time mixing tank liquid level of the sand mixing device and the mixing tank liquid level control valve opening degree of the sand mixing device, and controlling the fracturing construction displacement to decrease proportionally.
[0085] The above anti-evacuation safety condition includes:
[0086] When 70%J ≤ the real-time mixing tank liquid level of the sand mixing device < 90%J, the mixing tank liquid level control valve opening degree of the sand mixing device is set to 70%U, and the fracturing construction displacement is set to 70%V, where J is the mixing tank safety liquid level threshold of the sand mixing device, U is the maximum safety opening degree value of the liquid level control valve of the sand mixing device, and V is the current fracturing construction displacement.

[0088] When 20%J≤ the real-time mixing tank liquid level of the sand mixing device < 50%J, the mixing tank liquid level control valve opening of the sand mixing device, the fracturing operation discharge, the sand mixing device suction pump speed, and the sand mixing device discharge pump speed are all set to 0.
[0089] The embodiment of the present application is aimed at the problem in the prior art that when the liquid supply capacity of the sand mixing device is insufficient, air enters the fracturing pump, which causes the fracturing pump to be unable to work normally and requires parking for emptying operation, and the fracturing unit has the "emptying" phenomenon. The above step S120 is set to monitor the real-time suction pressure of the fracturing pump injection device, and when the real-time suction pressure of the fracturing pump injection device is less than the suction pressure safety threshold, the anti-emptying safety mechanism is triggered, and the linkage operation is performed according to the anti-emptying safety condition. The anti-emptying safety condition is obtained by analyzing the relevant data of the historical "emptying" phenomenon, and is described in the anti-emptying safety condition in step S130 in the embodiment.
[0090] In the embodiment, the specific anti-blowing tank safety condition judges the belonging value interval of the real-time mixing tank liquid level of the sand mixing device (i.e. multiple protection is set), the real-time mixing tank liquid level of the sand mixing device is linked and interlocked with the mixing tank liquid level control valve opening, the mixing tank liquid level control valve opening, the fracturing operation discharge, the sand mixing device suction pump speed, and the sand mixing device discharge pump speed are correspondingly controlled, so that the liquid supply capacity of the sand mixing device is normal, and the fracturing pump works normally without the need for parking for emptying operation, thereby eliminating the "emptying" risk of the fracturing unit.
