Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of oil and gas fracturing equipment, specifically relating to a digital and intelligent manifold control system and method. Background Technology
[0002] The fracturing manifold system is an important transportation system in oil and gas drilling and production equipment. It is an indispensable transportation system for the exploitation of low-permeability oil and gas resources such as shale gas and sandstone gas, as well as for the production enhancement and renovation of old oil and gas wells.
[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN114658406A discloses a multi-well location fracturing manifold device, which includes a multi-degree-of-freedom well access manifold, a safety valve assembly, a multi-degree-of-freedom extension manifold, a high and low pressure manifold skid, a multi-degree-of-freedom pump assembly connecting manifold, and a fracturing pump assembly. This device simplifies the pipeline layout at the fracturing construction site, eliminates the need for traditional elbow connections, significantly reduces manifold costs, and extends the service life of the manifold.
[0004] The aforementioned inventions and existing traditional fracturing manifold systems all suffer from the drawback of being predominantly modular, lacking flexible assembly capabilities. If the fracturing manifold is too small, it is unsuitable for large-scale fracturing operations; if it is too large, transportation and installation become difficult. Existing fracturing manifold systems and the aforementioned inventions fail to achieve a perfect balance in overall size, making them unsuitable for large-scale fracturing operations in low-permeability oil and gas resources such as shale gas and tight sandstone gas. Furthermore, the control valves used in fracturing manifolds, due to high working pressure and high frictional resistance, are difficult for workers to operate using traditional handwheel drives, resulting in time-consuming and labor-intensive operations and negatively impacting overall work efficiency. Additionally, the high working medium pressure and numerous connections in the fracturing manifold, coupled with rapid wear and tear, contribute to its complexity. In cases of frequent punctures, equipment leaks or ruptures can injure nearby personnel. Existing systems lack stability and sealing between pipelines. The existing fracturing manifolds are bulky and heavy, and the complex terrain makes moving, connecting, and installing equipment difficult. Furthermore, existing fracturing manifold systems require tedious and lengthy manual inspections before operation to ensure proper functioning. Control operations during operation can only be performed on-site, making it difficult to guarantee stable and smooth long-term operation in large-scale fracturing operations involving numerous equipment, materials, personnel, preparation time, and significant costs. Any shutdowns or delays can result in substantial economic losses. Therefore, overall operability and safety are still lacking.
[0005] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN118346244A discloses a single-channel, universally connectable fracturing manifold system, including a fracturing manifold unit, a fracturing diversion manifold, a fracturing wellhead device, and a control cabinet. By employing multiple sets of a specified number of fracturing manifolds, connecting pipeline components, fracturing diversion manifolds, universal devices, and wellhead devices, a fixed number of fracturing pump trucks can be connected, enabling the fracturing operation of multiple oil and gas wells to be completed in one go without interruption or equipment adjustment, greatly improving the overall smoothness of the operation.
[0006] During fracturing operations, pipes and valves in fracturing well sites often experience punctures, fatigue fractures, and other phenomena, posing a high safety risk to the operation. Summary of the Invention

[0045] Example 4 This embodiment employs a digital intelligent manifold control method based on the digital intelligent manifold control system described in Embodiment 3, including the following steps: A digital and intelligent hub control method includes the following steps: Step 1: Preset the pressure, flow, vibration, and bolt loosening values in the controller; Step 2: Vibration sensors, bolt loosening sensors, flow meters, and pressure sensors monitor vibration, bolt loosening, flow, and pressure information in real time and compare them with preset values in the controller. When the pressure is abnormal, the controller remotely closes the hydraulic flat valve 114 and the hydraulic gate valve. When the vibration and / or bolt loosening and / or flow information is abnormal, the controller activates the alarm to issue an alarm.
[0046] This also includes automatic grease injection control, which is as follows: the controller records the working time through vibration and pressure, and / or records the liquid supply through a flow meter. When the working time exceeds 9-12 hours or the liquid supply reaches 9000-12000 m3, the controller controls the hydraulic stop valve to achieve automatic grease injection.
[0047] Specifically, the preset pressure value is adjusted according to the rated pressure, with the upper limit of the pressure being 0.8 times the rated pressure. When the actual working pressure is lower than the upper limit, the preset pressure value is 1.1 times the actual working pressure. When the actual working pressure is higher than the upper limit but lower than the rated pressure, the preset pressure value is 1.05 times the actual working pressure. When the real-time pressure detected by the pressure sensor is higher than the preset pressure value, the controller controls the alarm to sound. When the real-time pressure continues to increase, the controller controls the hydraulic flat valve 114 and the hydraulic gate valve to achieve remote closure.
[0048] Specifically, the preset flow rates are as follows: When the actual operating flow rate is less than 10 m³ / min, the preset flow rate values are 0.85 times and 1.15 times the actual operating flow rate. When the real-time flow rate detected by the flow meter is higher than 1.15 times or lower than 0.85 times the actual operating flow rate, the controller will control the alarm to issue an alarm message. When the actual operating flow rate is 10-15 m³ / min, the preset flow rate values are 0.9 times and 1.1 times the actual operating flow rate. When the real-time flow rate detected by the flow meter is higher than 1.1 times or lower than 0.9 times the actual operating flow rate, the controller will control the alarm to issue an alarm message. When the actual operating flow rate is 15-20 m³ / min, the preset flow rate values are 0.925 times and 1.075 times the actual operating flow rate. When the real-time flow rate detected by the flow meter is higher than 1.075 times or lower than 0.925 times the actual operating flow rate, the controller will control the alarm to issue an alarm message.
[0049] Specifically, the preset vibration value is as follows: During the first operation, the controller automatically classifies the manifold vibration, grouping those with similar values into one category. The classified data is compared with the data in the vibration database, and automatic correction is performed to assign a normal vibration value. When a sudden change occurs in the vibration of this data, the controller controls the alarm to issue an alarm message. The sudden change value is set to 20%. When the vibration shows a trend change, that is, the vibration slowly increases over time, the controller controls the alarm to issue an alarm message.
[0050] Specifically, the preset bolt loosening value is as follows: During the initial operation, the controller automatically classifies the loosening of manifold bolts, grouping those with similar values into one category. The classified data is compared with the data in the bolt loosening database, and automatic correction is performed to assign a normal bolt loosening value. When a sudden change occurs in the bolt loosening in this data column, the controller controls the alarm to issue an alarm message. The sudden change value is set to 20%. When the bolt loosening shows a trend change, that is, the bolt loosening slowly increases over time, the controller controls the alarm to issue an alarm message.
