Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of offshore oil engineering, and in particular relates to a compact injection-production integrated wellhead platform. Background Art
[0002] Existing offshore platform gas field development projects, especially those that require gas injection development, usually have dedicated gas production wellhead platforms and dedicated gas injection and boosting platforms, and sometimes also have a central processing platform. There are two solutions. One is that the natural gas produced by the wellhead platform is dehydrated and then transported to the gas injection and boosting platform through a submarine pipeline or a pipeline on a trestle between two platforms. After being pressurized by a compressor on the gas injection and boosting platform, it is returned to the wellhead platform through a submarine pipeline or a pipeline on the trestle and injected back into the reservoir formation. Another solution is that the logistics of several wellhead platforms are transported to a central processing platform through submarine pipelines for processing. The treated natural gas is then transported to the compressor on the gas injection and boosting platform through submarine pipelines for pressurization and then injected back into the reservoir formation of the wellhead platform through pipelines. Such a solution requires more platforms, especially the construction of an additional boosting gas injection platform. The gas reinjection pipeline is very long, the project investment is large, and the economic benefits are poor.
[0003] Therefore, it is urgent to design a compact wellhead platform that integrates injection and production to solve the problem that the above-mentioned gas injection development projects require a special gas injection boosting platform. Utility Model Content
