Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of 5G wireless communication and onshore wellhead safety equipment technology, specifically to a real-time monitoring device for the status of onshore oil and gas wellheads based on 5G wireless communication. Background Technology

[0002] In onshore oil and gas extraction, the wellhead is the hub of oil and gas production, and its basic structure is a rigid body. Due to the constant impact of operation and the development environment, the wellhead is subject to stress fatigue. In particular, as the service life of the wellhead increases, structural damage may occur in parts such as the wellhead pile foundation, affecting the safe and stable operation of the wellhead.

[0003] Currently, wellhead safety status assessment mainly relies on periodic safety inspections, typically once a year, which has two shortcomings:

[0004] Firstly, the long interval between inspections raises the possibility that fatigue damage may occur at the wellhead due to external loads during the interval between inspections, thereby increasing the likelihood of accidents under extremely harsh conditions.

[0005] Secondly, the wellhead periodic inspections are conducted under favorable land conditions, lacking inspection data under adverse land conditions. The wellhead safety assessments under adverse land conditions are all based on numerical simulations, which are incomplete.

[0006] Real-time continuous monitoring of wellhead deformation and sway can reflect the wellhead's safety status throughout its entire lifecycle. There are already cases of monitoring using inertial navigation, fiber optics, and other means, but these methods also have some limitations, such as origin drift, complex modeling, insufficient correlation between external load and land condition, and difficulty in optimizing and correcting early warning indicators.

[0023] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the server side further includes: an application server, which acts as an interaction medium between the user and the database.

[0024] According to another aspect of the present invention, a method for real-time monitoring of the status of onshore oil and gas wellheads based on 5G wireless communication is also provided, executed by the apparatus described in any of the preceding claims, the method comprising:

[0025] The wellhead status information is collected in real time through the detection terminal, wherein the wellhead status information includes direct satellite signals and reflected satellite signals;

[0026] The wellhead status information is wirelessly transmitted via the wireless transmission terminal connected to the detection terminal.

[0027] The server receives the wellhead status information through the wireless transmission terminal.

[0028] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes:

[0030] The direct and reflected radio frequency signals are converted into direct and reflected digital intermediate frequency signals by a high-speed A / D converter, respectively, and then the data stream is generated by an A / D quantization decoder to obtain the original data of the direct and reflected signals.

[0031] For the raw data of the direct signal, a leading-instantaneous-lagging direct channel structure is adopted. By cooperating with the DSP to complete code and carrier tracking, the satellite positioning and tracking are completed, and the direct signal correlation value information is obtained.

This intermediate data is transmitted to a remote data center server via a 5G wireless communication module 9. The data center then calculates external load environmental and swaying product data. This allows for rapid data processing with extremely limited front-end computing resources, while the back-end has abundant computing resources to quickly calculate product data. This satisfies both the real-time monitoring and data linkage requirements and facilitates the optimization and iteration of various numerical models.

Detailed Implementation

[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] In onshore oil and gas extraction, the wellhead is the hub of oil and gas production, and its basic structure is a rigid body. Due to the constant impact of operation and the development environment, the wellhead is subject to stress fatigue. In particular, as the service life of the wellhead increases, structural damage may occur in parts such as the wellhead pile foundation, affecting the safe and stable operation of the wellhead.

[0051] Currently, wellhead safety status assessment mainly relies on periodic safety inspections, typically once a year, which has two shortcomings:

[0052] Firstly, the long interval between inspections raises the possibility that fatigue damage may occur at the wellhead due to external loads during the interval between inspections, thereby increasing the likelihood of accidents under extremely harsh conditions.

[0053] Secondly, the wellhead periodic inspections are conducted under favorable land conditions, lacking inspection data under adverse land conditions. The wellhead safety assessments under adverse land conditions are all based on numerical simulations, which are incomplete.

[0054] Real-time continuous monitoring of wellhead deformation and sway can reflect the wellhead's safety status throughout its entire lifecycle. There are already cases of monitoring using inertial navigation, fiber optics, and other means, but these methods also have some limitations, such as origin drift, complex modeling, insufficient correlation between external load and land condition, and difficulty in optimizing and correcting early warning indicators.

[0055] Since the 1980s, my country's onshore oilfields have gradually developed on a large scale. In recent years, more and more wellheads have exceeded their initial design life. At the same time, with global warming, the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events are increasing, and the safety risks faced by onshore wellheads are significantly increasing. There is an urgent need to carry out synchronous and linked monitoring of the wellhead condition and its onshore external load environment, to grasp the real-time safety status of the wellhead and its shock response under hazardous weather conditions, so as to support more comprehensive and rigorous risk assessment and scientific decision-making.

[0056] The prior art (202123104706.7) relates to the field of offshore platform safety equipment technology, and in particular to a real-time monitoring device for the status of an offshore oil platform. This device, deployed on an offshore oil platform, includes a direct antenna, a reflective antenna, a signal distributor, a reflective signal processing unit, a platform positioning processing unit, and a wireless communication module. It can monitor the overall structural safety status of the offshore platform in real time and provide early warnings of platform deformation under high loads, improving the control over the identification of the platform's safety status. It also provides long-term continuous monitoring data throughout the platform's lifecycle for regular safety inspections, supporting platform safety assessments and life extension assessments.

[0057] Prior art (201810962493.5) provides a condition monitoring device for a steel platform, the steel platform including a frame structure and a support device; the condition monitoring device includes: a first condition monitoring unit for real-time monitoring of the frame structure and acquiring monitoring data of the frame structure; and / or, a second condition monitoring unit for real-time monitoring of the support device and acquiring monitoring data of the support device. A condition monitoring and control system and a condition monitoring and control method are also provided. Based on the monitoring data, the system performs real-time control of the steel platform, realizing real-time monitoring and control of the steel platform, ensuring that the steel platform's state is always known and controllable, greatly improving the safety of the steel platform.

[0058] Existing technology (202011001170.3) provides an acoustic monitoring method for the operational status of an ultra-large floating wellhead. The method is characterized by its application to a floating wellhead operational status monitoring system, which includes: a wellhead, multiple seabed depth acoustic measuring instruments, multiple sea surface height acoustic measuring instruments, seabed sediment acoustic measuring instruments, and attitude measurement sensors. The corresponding acoustic monitoring method includes the following steps: controlling the attitude measurement sensors to measure the wellhead and obtain measurement attitude data; obtaining a wellhead fitting plane based on the measurement attitude data; obtaining the absolute attitude data of the wellhead based on the attitude of the wellhead fitting plane within the coordinate system of the wellhead; controlling each sea surface height acoustic measuring instrument to measure the sea surface and obtain... The process involves: obtaining height data from the sea surface measurement points; obtaining a sea surface fitting plane based on the height data; obtaining sea surface state data by comparing the sea surface fitting plane with the wellhead fitting plane; controlling each seabed depth acoustic measuring instrument to measure the seabed and obtain depth data from the seabed measurement points; obtaining a seabed fitting plane based on the depth data; obtaining seabed state data by comparing the seabed fitting plane with the wellhead fitting plane; controlling a seabed sediment acoustic measuring instrument to measure the seabed and obtain seabed stratification and sediment type data; and obtaining wellhead operation status data based on the relationship between the absolute attitude data, the sea surface state data, the seabed state data, the seabed stratification and sediment type data, and the operation status data.

[0059] The existing technology (Xiang Kai, Xian Minyuan, Jiang Aiguo, et al. Application of equipment condition monitoring technology in semi-submersible drilling platforms [J]. Equipment Management and Maintenance, 2022, (07)) proposes an online monitoring system for key equipment of semi-submersible drilling platforms. It adopts a distributed monitoring system combining edge and cloud, which can monitor the operating status of key parts of key equipment online and realize the integrated management and transmission of multi-source status parameters. It applies a condition-adaptive intelligent diagnostic method based on signal processing technologies such as spectrum, envelope spectrum, and wavelet transform to help discover early warning signs of failure in key parts, provide a reference for timely equipment maintenance, ensure the normal operation of key equipment, and promote the transition of on-site equipment management from patrol inspection and periodic inspection to long-term continuous monitoring, condition and predictive maintenance.

[0060] In summary, the existing technologies mentioned above cannot solve the problems of origin drift, complex modeling, insufficient correlation between external load and land condition, and difficulty in optimizing and correcting early warning indicators when using inertial navigation and fiber optic methods for monitoring. Therefore, this invention provides a real-time monitoring device for the status of onshore oil and gas wellheads. This invention is a synchronous linkage detection device for wellhead sway and the external load environment, based on the integration of satellite navigation and positioning technology and 5G wireless communication technology. It can monitor the safety status of the overall structure of the onshore wellhead in real time and provide early warnings for wellhead deformation under high loads, improving the control over the identification of wellhead safety status. It also provides long-term continuous monitoring data throughout the entire life cycle for regular wellhead safety inspections, supporting wellhead safety assessment and life extension assessment.

[0061] Figure 1 A structural block diagram of a real-time monitoring device for the status of onshore oil and gas wellheads based on 5G wireless communication according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, a real-time monitoring device for the status of onshore oil and gas wellheads based on 5G wireless communication includes: a detection terminal 100, a wireless transmission terminal 200, and a server terminal 300. The detection terminal 100 is used to collect wellhead status information in real time, including direct satellite signals and reflected satellite signals. The wireless transmission terminal 200 is connected to the detection terminal 100 and is used to wirelessly transmit the wellhead status information. The server terminal 300 is connected to the wireless transmission terminal 200 and is used to receive the wellhead status information.

[0063] Compared to existing technologies such as inertial navigation and fiber optics, this invention offers unique advantages by combining GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) and GNSS-R (GNSS-reflectometry or GNSS-remote) technologies to synchronously detect wellhead sway and environmental loads. Specifically, this invention uses GNSS to collect direct satellite signals, reflecting the wellhead's own sway information, and uses GNSS-R to collect reflected satellite signals, reflecting the land load information around the wellhead. This solves the problems of origin drift, complex modeling, insufficient correlation between land load and environmental load, and difficulty in optimizing and correcting early warning indicators that exist in existing technologies such as inertial navigation and fiber optics.

[0064] Furthermore, this invention is based on navigation satellites and utilizes their positioning technology and D2D wireless communication technology for wellhead safety status monitoring. The equipment is simple, stable, passive, and small in size. This invention fuses wellhead sway data and corresponding load data, monitors real-time data of various elements, establishes a sway and load mapping model, effectively distinguishes abnormal sway, and establishes a wellhead safety status early warning mechanism.

It is used for equipment positioning, real-time monitoring and data acquisition, automatic control of operating parameters, and wellhead safety protection to ensure efficient, safe and stable operation of the drilling process.

[0071] A wellhead positioning and processing unit is a specialized piece of equipment used in oil and gas drilling. It ensures that drilling and wellhead equipment are in the accurate position, collecting and monitoring various wellhead parameters in real time, such as pressure, temperature, and flow rate. Based on this data, it automatically adjusts the operating parameters of relevant equipment, such as adjusting wellhead pressure and controlling fluid flow, to ensure a smooth and safe drilling process. In case of abnormalities, it automatically triggers early warning or protective measures, such as shutting down the wellhead to prevent blowouts or other dangerous situations.

[0078] like Figure 2 As shown, the server-side 300 also includes: an application server 13, which acts as an interaction medium between the user and the database.

[0079] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the direct antenna 1 is connected to the signal distributor 4; the signal distributor 4 is split into two paths and connected to the signal processing unit 5 and the wellhead positioning processing unit 6; the reflective antenna 3 is connected to the signal processing unit 5; the signal processing unit 5 and the wellhead positioning processing unit 6 are respectively connected to the 5G wireless communication module 9; the 5G wireless communication module 9 is connected to the Internet 14 through the web server 12, the data server 11 and the application server 13.

[0080] In one embodiment, a data server 11, an application server 13, and a web server 12 are deployed in a data center computer room. The data server 11, web server 12, and application server 13 are connected to the Internet 14. An outdoor cabinet 7, a bracket 2, a direct-fire antenna 1, a reflective antenna 3, a signal distributor 4, a signal processing unit 5, a wellhead positioning processing unit 6, a 5G wireless communication module 9, and a high-gain antenna 8 are deployed on the onshore oil wellhead. The outdoor cabinet 7 is fixed to the onshore oil wellhead and is used to install the detection and communication modules. The bracket 2 and the high-gain antenna 8 are fixed to the top surface of the outdoor cabinet 7.

[0081] In one embodiment, the right-handed direct-fire antenna 1 is fixed to the top of the support 2, and the left-handed reflective antenna 3 is fixed 10 cm below the top of the support 2, with the left-handed reflective antenna 3 tilted downwards at a 30° angle.

The 5G wireless communication module 9 transmits the collected satellite positioning signals to the data server 11 and the web server 12 via the Internet 14.

[0084] This invention relates to a real-time monitoring technology for the status of onshore oil wellheads in oil and gas field development. It enables safety early warning for oil and gas development wellheads (well platforms, gas production wellheads), providing a guarantee for safe oil and gas development. Based on navigation satellites, it utilizes both positioning technology and D2D wireless communication technology for wellhead safety status monitoring. The two technologies share a single direct-fire antenna 1, ensuring consistency in time synchronization between their respective systems.

Furthermore, by analyzing the correlation between wellhead sway and corresponding load, a sway-load mapping model is established, thereby effectively identifying abnormal sway and establishing a wellhead safety status early warning mechanism.

[0086] The invention has a simple and reasonable structure. The front-end receivers for wellhead positioning and load inversion operate basically independently. The equipment is stable, passive, has low maintenance costs, and is easy to install. In terms of wellhead status monitoring, it realizes real-time online linkage monitoring of wellhead sway and external load environment and early warning of wellhead safety status. It has good practical effects in supporting land wellhead safety inspection, life extension assessment, and ensuring the safe and stable operation of wellheads.

[0087] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a signal processing unit according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0088] like Figure 3 As shown, the direct and reflected signals are converted, filtered, and gain controlled by the RF front end. The high-speed A / D converter converts the RF signal into direct and reflected digital intermediate frequency signals. The A / D quantization decoder generates a 2-bit data stream, which is the original data of the direct and reflected signals.

[0089] The direct signal processing channel adopts a lead-instant-lag correlation channel structure. By working with the DSP to complete code and carrier tracking, it completes satellite positioning and tracking, and obtains satellite PRN number, satellite elevation angle and azimuth angle information. The 2-bit direct signal is processed by the direct signal processing channel to obtain direct signal correlation value information of 12 channels, which is stored in the buffer. The correlation value information is then used to obtain the direct signal correlation power.

[0090] Under the combined action of the Doppler control word and the carrier control word, the reflected signal carrier generation module generates local carriers with different Doppler values ​​in the reflected signal channel. Carrier stripping is performed in the reflected signal channel, and the C / A code of the corresponding direct channel is directly reused. The delay of the C / A code of the reflected channel is realized through the shift register, and C / A code correlation operations are performed to generate complex-form time-delayed two-dimensional correlation values ​​of Doppler.

[0091] This invention is essentially a front-end data acquisition device for a real-time monitoring device for onshore oil wellheads. The relevant values ​​acquired by the front end are transmitted to the server and then calculated by a specific model into the land information of the wellhead's external load. The acquired satellite positioning messages are transmitted to the server and then processed by positioning calculation and sway algorithm into the wellhead's own sway information.

[0092] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of interaction between cellular users via D2D communication according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0093] like Figure 4 As shown, the wireless communication terminal 200 uses cellular data for communication. Base station 10, through frequency adjustment, transmits network traffic according to different needs in different locations. The 5G wireless communication module 9 connects to the data server 11, web server 12, and application server 13 through the network established by base station 10, and accesses the Internet 14. The function of data server 11 is to issue operation request commands for data. Web server 12 is used to receive all external requests, using the Internet as the transmission medium; users and field devices can access web application server 12. The function of application server 13 is to act as an interaction point between users and the database.

[0094] This invention relates to a simple, stable, passive, and small-sized device. Based on navigation satellites, it utilizes both positioning and D2D wireless communication technologies for wellhead safety status monitoring. Both technologies share a single direct-fire antenna 1, ensuring consistent timing between their respective systems. GNSS-R correlation data and differential GNSS message data are obtained from the front end, with intermediate data transmission speeds less than 50 Mbps. This intermediate data is wirelessly transmitted to a remote data center server, where external load environmental data and product vibration data are calculated.

[0095] This invention fuses wellhead sway data and corresponding load data, enabling real-time monitoring of various elements. Furthermore, by analyzing the correlation between wellhead sway and corresponding load, a sway-load mapping model is established, effectively identifying abnormal sway and creating a wellhead safety status early warning mechanism.

[0096] The invention has a simple and reasonable structure. The front-end receivers for wellhead positioning and load inversion operate basically independently. The equipment is stable, passive, has low maintenance costs, and is easy to install.

[0097] According to another aspect of the present invention, a method for real-time monitoring of the status of onshore oil and gas wellheads based on 5G wireless communication is also provided, which is executed by a device for real-time monitoring of the status of onshore oil and gas wellheads based on 5G wireless communication.

[0098] Figure 5 The flowchart illustrates the steps of a method for real-time monitoring of the status of onshore oil and gas wellheads based on 5G wireless communication according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0099] like Figure 5 As shown, in step S1, the wellhead status information is collected in real time through the detection terminal 100. The wellhead status information includes satellite direct signals and satellite reflected signals.

[0100] like Figure 5 As shown, in step S2, wellhead status information is wirelessly transmitted through wireless transmission terminal 200 connected to detection terminal 100;

[0101] like Figure 5 As shown, in step S3, wellhead status information is received by server 300 connected to wireless transmission terminal 200.

[0102] In one embodiment, a method for real-time monitoring of the status of onshore oil and gas wellheads based on 5G wireless communication further includes: satellite direct signals and satellite reflected signals are respectively converted, filtered, and gain-controlled by a radio frequency front-end to obtain direct and reflected radio frequency signals; the direct and reflected radio frequency signals are respectively converted into direct and reflected digital intermediate frequency signals by a high-speed A / D converter, and then a data stream is generated by an A / D quantization decoder to obtain the raw data of the direct and reflected signals; for the raw data of the direct signals, a lead-instantaneous-lag direct channel structure is adopted, and code and carrier tracking is completed in conjunction with a DSP to complete satellite positioning and tracking, thereby obtaining the correlation value information of the direct signals, wherein the direct signal... The correlation information includes the satellite PRN number, satellite elevation angle, and azimuth angle. For the raw reflected signal data, under the combined action of the Doppler control word and the carrier control word, local carriers with different Doppler values ​​are generated. Carrier stripping is performed in the reflected signal channel, and the corresponding direct-spot C / A code is directly reused. The delay of the reflected-spot C / A code is achieved through a shift register, and C / A code correlation operations are performed to generate complex-form time-delay Doppler two-dimensional correlation values. For the direct-spot signal correlation information, wellhead sway information is obtained through positioning calculations and sway processing. For the time-delay Doppler two-dimensional correlation values, land information outside the wellhead is obtained through model calculations.

[0103] In one embodiment, this invention acquires direct satellite signals and left-handed reflected signals. The direct signals are transmitted via channels I and II, while the reflected signals are transmitted via channel III. Channel I signals are similar to traditional GNSS positioning methods, using RTK for positioning within 10 to 20 kilometers of the base station and differential positioning via satellite station for positioning beyond 10 to 20 kilometers. Channels II and III signals are converted to digital intermediate frequency signals via A / D conversion through a radio frequency front-end. The correlation values ​​of the direct and reflected signals are then obtained through multi-channel signal processing and calculation. After a period of data acquisition, an empirical model of the dynamic changes in wellhead sway and external environmental loads is established. Finally, abnormal sway is determined and warned based on corresponding thresholds. The device receives direct signals to achieve positioning calculations, and high-precision positioning results are obtained through differential positioning using multiple satellites. Additionally, information is acquired by receiving and processing reflected signals. GNSS signals are reflected after passing over the land surface, carrying information about the reflecting surface characteristics. The device obtains real-time land conditions such as wind speed and direction, and wave height and direction by acquiring and processing information such as the power and time delay of the reflected signals. The two are matched based on timestamps to obtain the status information of onshore oil wellheads.

[0104] This invention proposes a resource optimization allocation algorithm to achieve dynamic spectrum management and intelligent load balancing. Specifically, for dynamic spectrum management, it incorporates 5G network slicing technology to propose a dynamic spectrum management algorithm that adjusts spectrum resource allocation in real time based on user demand and network load, thereby improving overall system efficiency. For intelligent load balancing, it introduces a machine learning (neural network) algorithm to predict traffic changes based on historical and real-time monitoring data, performing intelligent load balancing to improve network stability and user experience.

[0105] This invention proposes a security mechanism management system, comprising: blockchain-based security authentication and quantum encryption technology. For blockchain-based security authentication, blockchain technology is used to establish a distributed security authentication system, ensuring the reliability and security of communication between devices and preventing data tampering and unauthorized access. For quantum encryption technology, it is combined to provide a higher level of security for critical data transmission, preventing the risks of cracking that may be faced by traditional encryption methods.

[0106] The present invention provides a real-time monitoring device for the status of onshore oil and gas wellheads based on 5G wireless communication. This device can also be used in conjunction with a computer-readable storage medium. The storage medium stores a computer program, which is executed to run a real-time monitoring method for the status of onshore oil and gas wellheads based on 5G wireless communication. The computer program can execute computer instructions, which include computer program code. The computer program code can be in the form of source code, object code, executable files, or some intermediate form.

[0107] Computer-readable storage media can include: any entity or device capable of carrying computer program code, recording media, USB flash drives, portable hard drives, magnetic disks, optical disks, computer memory, read-only memory (ROM), random access memory (RAM), electrical carrier signals, telecommunication signals, and software distribution media, etc.

[0108] It should be noted that the contents of computer-readable storage media may be appropriately added to or subtracted from the contents according to the requirements of legislation and patent practice in a jurisdiction. For example, in some jurisdictions, according to legislation and patent practice, computer-readable storage media may not include electrical carrier signals and telecommunication signals.

This intermediate data is transmitted to a remote data center server via a 5G wireless communication module 9. The data center then calculates external load environmental and swaying product data. This allows for rapid data processing with extremely limited front-end computing resources, while the back-end has abundant computing resources to quickly calculate product data. This satisfies both the real-time monitoring and data linkage requirements and facilitates the optimization and iteration of various numerical models.

[0111] 2) The structure of this invention is simple and reasonable. The front-end receivers for wellhead positioning and load inversion operate basically independently. The equipment is stable, passive, has low maintenance costs, and is easy to install. In terms of wellhead status monitoring, it realizes real-time online linkage monitoring of wellhead sway and external load environment and early warning of wellhead safety status. It has good practical effects in supporting land wellhead safety detection, life extension assessment, and ensuring the safe and stable operation of wellheads.

[0112] 3) This invention can fuse wellhead sway data and corresponding load data, not only monitoring real-time data of various elements, but also establishing a sway and load mapping model through correlation analysis of wellhead sway and corresponding load, thereby effectively identifying abnormal sway and establishing a wellhead safety status early warning mechanism.
