[0002] During the oil and gas production process, efficient and safe storage of wellhead oil and gas is an important part of ensuring production continuity and environmental protection.
[0003] The most common way to store oil and gas, suitable for oil and gas storage of all sizes. Ground storage tanks are usually made of steel or aluminum materials, with large storage capacity and good sealing.
[0004] Traditional storage methods such as ground storage tanks often find it difficult to achieve effective separation of oil and gas. When the oil and gas mixture is directly input into the storage tank, due to the influence of gravity and flow rate, the oil and gas are prone to form uneven stratification in the tank, affecting the subsequent processing efficiency; storage methods such as ground storage tanks may not be thorough enough in dealing with accumulated liquid, and the accumulated liquid needs to be manually discharged regularly, which increases maintenance costs and operational complexity; in addition, traditional storage methods may have deficiencies in pressure control and sealing, increasing safety hazards such as leakage and explosion. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model aims at the technical problems existing in the prior art and provides a wellhead oil and gas storage device to solve the problem of uneven stratification of the oil and gas mixture during the oil and gas storage process.

[0007] On the basis of the above technical solution, the present invention can also be improved as follows.
[0008] Further, the air diffuser comprises:
[0009] Two sets of upper and lower baffles narrowing in the direction of oil and gas transmission;
[0010] A plurality of guide plates are evenly spaced and distributed on both sides of the upper and lower baffles.

[0027] The principles and features of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0028] It should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integrally formed structure. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of such terms in this patent can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the wellhead oil and gas storage device of the practical design comprises a main platform 1, on which a storage tank body 2 is mounted; the inner cavity of the storage tank body 2 is divided into an upper gas storage chamber and a lower liquid accumulation chamber; the storage tank body 2 is sequentially provided with an oil and gas input pipe 3 located in the middle, an exhaust pipe 4 located at the top and a liquid discharge pipe 5 located at the bottom; an end of the oil and gas input pipe 3 extending into the storage tank body 2 is also provided with an air diffuser 6, and the air diffuser 6 is used to diffuse the oil and gas evenly into the inner cavity of the storage tank body 2.
[0030] The oil-gas mixture enters the device through the oil-gas inlet pipe 3 located in the middle of the storage tank 2.
[0031] At the end of the oil and gas input pipe 3, the diffuser 6 plays a role in evenly diffusing the input oil and gas mixture into the inner cavity of the storage tank 2. This step promotes the full contact between the oil and gas mixture and the air, creating favorable conditions for the subsequent oil and gas separation.
[0032] The natural separation of oil and gas is achieved by utilizing the density difference between gas and liquid in the oil-gas mixture and the upper gas storage chamber and lower liquid storage chamber structure designed inside the storage tank 2.
[0033] The gas naturally rises to the upper gas storage chamber for storage due to its lower density, maintaining its purity and storage efficiency.
[0034] The liquid sinks to the lower liquid accumulation chamber due to its higher density, thus achieving centralized collection and treatment of the accumulated liquid.
[0035] The top exhaust pipe 4 is used to discharge the gas subsequently, and the bottom liquid discharge pipe 5 is responsible for regularly discharging the accumulated liquid in the lower liquid accumulation chamber to keep the tank clean and the storage space effectively utilized.
[0036] As an implementation method, Figure 4 As shown, the diffuser 6 comprises:
[0037] Two sets of baffles 6.1 narrowing along the oil and gas transmission direction;
[0038] A plurality of guide plates 6.2 are evenly spaced and distributed on both sides of the upper and lower baffles 6.1.
[0039] Specifically, the guide plates 6.2 are bent, and oil and gas baffle channels are formed between adjacent guide plates 6.2.
[0040] Specifically, an inspection port is reserved on the baffle plate 6.1, and an observation plate 6.3 is used to cover the inspection port.
[0041] The diffuser includes two sets of baffles 6.1 that narrow along the oil and gas transmission direction. This design allows the oil and gas mixture to pass through a gradually shrinking space before entering the storage tank. During this process, the flow rate of the oil and gas mixture will increase and the pressure will decrease accordingly, which is conducive to the subsequent uniform diffusion of the oil and gas.
[0042] On both sides of the upper and lower baffles 6.1, multiple curved guide plates 6.2 are evenly spaced. These guide plates not only guide the flow direction of oil and gas, but also form oil and gas baffle channels between adjacent guide plates through their curved shapes. These baffle channels can further refine the flow path of the oil and gas mixture, increase the contact area and contact time between oil and gas and air, and thus enhance the separation effect of oil and gas.
[0043] In order to facilitate the inspection and maintenance of the interior of the diffuser, an inspection port is reserved on the baffle 6.1 and is provided with an observation plate 6.3 for covering the inspection port.
[0044] As an implementation mode, a maintenance pipe 7 is further provided on one side of the storage tank body 2, and a maintenance flange is installed at the maintenance port of the maintenance pipe 7. By providing a convenient maintenance channel, ensuring the safety of the maintenance process, and increasing the flexibility and maintainability of the maintenance work, the normal operation and long-term use of the storage tank body 2 are jointly guaranteed.
[0045] As an embodiment, a liquid level pipe 8 communicating with the lower liquid accumulation chamber is further provided outside the storage tank body 2. The liquid level pipe 8 is a component communicating with the lower liquid accumulation chamber of the storage tank body 2, and its main principle is to monitor and display the liquid level height in the liquid accumulation chamber in real time.
[0046] As an implementation method, the storage tank body 2 is also provided with a gas pressure relief pipe 9 connected to the upper gas storage chamber and a liquid pressure relief pipe 10 connected to the lower liquid storage chamber. When the gas pressure in the upper gas storage chamber exceeds the set threshold, the gas pressure relief pipe will be opened automatically or manually to release the excess gas to a safe area, thereby preventing the tank body from exploding or being damaged due to excessive internal pressure; the presence of the liquid pressure relief pipe ensures that the excess liquid can be discharged in time under these circumstances to maintain the stability and safety of the tank body.
[0047] As an embodiment, it also includes an air nozzle 11 extending into the lower liquid accumulation chamber of the storage tank body 2 and facing the liquid discharge pipe 5. When the accumulated liquid in the lower liquid accumulation chamber needs to be discharged, the air nozzle can be passed with compressed air or other gas to form a disturbance or injection effect on the accumulated liquid. This disturbance helps to break the adhesion between the accumulated liquid and the tank wall, promote the flow and discharge of the accumulated liquid, and improve the liquid discharge efficiency.
[0048] As an implementation mode, an upper platform 12 and a climbing frame 13 for entering the upper platform 12 are also set up on the storage tank body 2. The combination of the upper platform 12 and the climbing frame 13 provides the operator with a safe and convenient working space and passage, further improving the overall performance and operating experience of the wellhead oil and gas storage device.
