Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shale gas scattered well CNG processing, in particular to a skid-mounted shale gas scattered well CNG recovery device. Background Art

[0002] CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) is a clean and efficient energy source with the advantages of economical and flexible transportation and high storage efficiency. CNG has the same components as pipeline natural gas, with methane (CH4) as the main component.

[0003] In the context of new breakthroughs in domestic natural gas exploration and development, natural gas reserves and production have increased rapidly. At the same time, the utilization of scattered shale gas wells far from the work area, which are relatively scattered, inconvenient to manage, and inefficient, has gradually become prominent. The number of scattered wells increased significantly from 2019 to 2022, reaching about 385, mainly distributed in North China, Southwest China and East China. The production of scattered wells is also on the rise, roughly between 240 million and 460 million cubic meters from 2019 to 2022.

[0004] At present, the domestic CNG processing of scattered shale gas wells is in its infancy. Common wellhead gas export methods include wellhead LNG production export and gathering and transportation pipeline export. Wellhead LNG production export process equipment is large, the area is large, the process flow is complex, there are many on-site operations, and the labor intensity of workers is high, which makes it difficult to quickly build a station and put it into production. The approval process for the export of gathering and transportation pipelines is cumbersome and the construction investment is large, which also makes it difficult to quickly build a station and put it into production. The CNG processing and export method has simple equipment, less hoisting operations, and fewer operating personnel. It can quickly respond to the development of scattered shale gas wells and put them into production (transfer) operation. Utility Model Content
