Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil production, and more specifically, it relates to a skid-mounted oil and gas separation on-line metering device. Background Art

[0002] Oil and gas metering mainly involves collecting and filtering the oil and gas from a single well, then separating them into corresponding gas and liquid and measuring them alternately at regular intervals. After metering, the oil and gas are transported to the transfer station by the wellhead pressure. In the daily production of an oilfield, the daily liquid production and gas production of each well are important data for single well analysis and block analysis in the oilfield. If the metering is inaccurate, it may cause cognitive errors and affect subsequent important judgments.

[0003] At present, although the taken oil and gas mixture has undergone at least one preliminary filtering operation, solid particles such as oil layer sand, rust, and carbon black mixed inside will cause certain deviation to the results during subsequent measurement. If not processed, the metering accuracy will decrease significantly. The existing oil and gas separation metering equipment has a bloated structure, occupies a large area, and is not convenient for design and construction. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a skid-mounted oil and gas separation on-line metering device to solve one or more of the above problems.

Specific implementation manner

[0027] Embodiment:

[0028] The following further elaborates on the present utility model in conjunction with the attached Figure 1 drawings.

[0029] The skid-mounted oil-gas separation on-line metering device, as Figure 1As shown in the figure, it is connected to the incoming liquid pipeline 2, the outgoing liquid pipeline 11 and the bypass pipeline 3 from the outside. The skid-mounted oil and gas separation on-line metering device includes a filter 1, a separation V-tube 4, a separation elbow 6, a recovery pipeline, a test pipeline, a liquid mass metering system 10, a gas flowmeter, an automatic liquid level control system 12 and a fine screening mechanism 13. The filter 1 is a three-way structure, with the side interface connected to the incoming liquid pipeline 2, the bottom interface connected to the bypass pipeline 3, and the top interface connected to the separation V-tube 4. One end of the separation V-tube 4 is connected to the filter 1, and the other end is obliquely and vertically downward connected to the oil liquid recovery pipeline 5 with a U-shaped cross-section. The corner angle of the separation V-tube 4 is less than 65°, and the obliquely and vertically downward end is connected to the head end of the oil liquid recovery pipeline 5. One end of the separation elbow 6 is connected to the head of the obliquely and vertically downward end of the separation V-tube 4, and the other end is obliquely and vertically downward connected to the oil and gas recovery pipeline 7 with an inverted U-shaped cross-section. The corner angle of the separation elbow 6 is not greater than 90°. The corner angle of the separation elbow 6 is greater than that of the separation V-tube 4. The oil liquid recovery pipeline 5 and the oil and gas recovery pipeline 7 are connected into a loop structure and are externally connected to the test pipeline at their respective rear ends. The setting of different corner angles makes the flow velocities in their respective areas no longer uniform, which is not only conducive to forming the first stratified vortex in the separation V-tube 4 to complete the preliminary gas-liquid separation. The oil and gas recovery pipeline 7 and the oil liquid recovery pipeline 5 are divided into a head end and a rear end. The head end is connected to the separation elbow 6 or the separation V-tube 4, and the rear end is connected to the test pipeline. Specifically, the end of the oil and gas recovery pipeline 7 is connected to the oil and gas test pipeline 8, and a gas flowmeter is provided on the oil and gas test pipeline 8. The separation V-tube 4 is connected to the head end of the oil liquid recovery pipeline 5, and the separation elbow 6 is connected to the head end of the oil and gas recovery pipeline 7. The oil liquid recovery pipeline 5 is connected to the oil liquid test pipeline 9, and a liquid mass metering system 10 is provided on the oil liquid test pipeline 9. The oil liquid test pipeline 9 and the oil and gas test pipeline 8 converge to the outgoing liquid pipeline 11, and the bypass pipeline 3 is also connected to the outgoing liquid pipeline 11. The two recovery pipelines arranged in an up-and-down docking manner, different incoming material methods all cause a second stratified vortex to form at the docking place for the second gas-liquid separation. At the same time, the particularity of the oil liquid causes the flow velocity of the lower part of the head end of the oil liquid recovery pipeline 5 to slow down, forming different flow velocity areas with the vortex part, and the two form a third stratified vortex at the docking place at the end of the recovery pipeline. Each stratified vortex corresponds to a gas-liquid separation area. An automatic liquid level control system 12 is provided at the end of the oil liquid recovery pipeline 5, and a separate fine screening mechanism 13 is provided on each of the two side walls opposite to the automatic liquid level control system 12. The fine screening mechanism 13 is used for one-way filtering and collection of solid particle impurities carried by the oil liquid. The two fine screening mechanisms 13 are aligned left and right in the same vertical plane, but at different horizontal heights, and there is an overlapping part of the projection between the two in a certain vertical area. The fine screening mechanism 13 includes a fine screening box 14 and at least one one-way valve 15. The fine screening box 14 is communicatively arranged on the side wall of the automatic liquid level control system 12, and the one-way valve 15 is arranged at the opening of the fine screening box 14, and the screening direction points to the inside of the fine screening box 14.At the bottom of the oil recovery pipeline 5, at the top of the oil and gas recovery pipeline 7, and at the bottom of the two fine sieve boxes 14, there are separate discharge valves 16 for emergency discharge and other operations. The gas flowmeter and the liquid mass metering system 10 are both equipped with complete signal transmission modules and self-control modules, that is to say, both have functions such as online data upload monitoring and remote control. In the separation V-tube 4, the separation elbow pipe 6, the oil and gas recovery pipeline 7, and the oil and gas recovery pipeline 7, there are columnar cyclone separation systems, which mainly achieve gas-liquid separation. The oil and gas mixture is initially separated into oil and oil and gas through the action of the first stratified vortex in the separation V-tube 4. The oil passes through the separation V-tube 4 and enters the oil recovery pipeline 5, and the oil and gas pass through the separation elbow pipe 6 and enter the oil and gas recovery pipeline 7. The preliminarily separated oil continues to be screened at the second stratified vortex, and the separated gas rises and enters the oil and gas recovery pipeline 7 to merge with the oil and gas entering from the separation elbow pipe 6. The oil after secondary separation enters the fine sieve mechanism 13 after the speed is reduced to remove impurities, and continues to be separated at the third separation vortex. The oil and gas and the mixed oil and gas in the oil and gas recovery pipeline 7 enter the oil and gas test pipeline 8 and are metered by the gas flowmeter. The oil after tertiary separation enters the oil test pipeline 9 and is metered by the liquid mass metering system 10. The metered oil and oil and gas are mixed and then discharged from the liquid outlet pipeline 11 again, and the metered data is transmitted online.

[0030] It should be noted that this specific embodiment is only an interpretation of the present invention, and it is not a limitation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without creative contributions according to needs after reading this specification, but as long as it is within the scope of the claims of the present invention, it is protected by the patent law.
