Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of oil and gas gathering and transportation, in particular to a general manifold for oil and gas gathering and transportation processes, and specifically to a vertical general manifold that is convenient for pressure testing and preventing backflow. Background Technique

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous deepening of oilfield development, the risk of pipeline failure and leakage of various oil gathering pipelines has been increasing due to the extension of service time. After individual pipelines leak, the general manifold has backflow due to pressure, and the safety and environmental protection situation is prominent. This problem not only affects the normal production of the oilfield but also poses a severe challenge to the safety and environmental protection situation. Therefore, oilfield enterprises actively promote the work of clean water pressure testing and scale removal to ensure the safe and stable operation of pipelines.

[0003] As a pipe manifold device for the oil coming from well groups during the crude oil production process, the vertical general manifold is widely used in conventional booster stations. Its main function is to realize the switching of processes such as the combination of liquid volumes of different well groups, metering of different well groups, clean water pressure testing, and pipeline scale removal by switching the process. However, it has been found in the use of the existing general manifold that during the scale removal operation and clean water pressure testing operation, during the process switching, it is necessary to disassemble the three-way pipeline, valves, and ball blocking nets, with high operation difficulty and workload, low operation efficiency. At the same time, during the disassembly process, it is necessary to relieve the pressure of the single well group pipeline, and there is a risk of crude oil and gas leakage. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a vertical general manifold that is convenient for pressure testing and preventing backflow, which can solve the problems of high operation difficulty, complex process, large workload, low operation efficiency, and the risk of crude oil and gas leakage during the disassembly process.

The swing - check valve and the steel wedge - type gate valve are flange - connected, which is used to prevent the reverse flow of the oil in other well - group incoming pipelines of the main - manifold through the oil - gathering manifold due to the pressure drop caused by pipeline leakage in the well - group oil - incoming pipeline during normal oil - gathering production, reducing pollution.

[0009] Further, the left end of the single - volume manifold is connected to the main - manifold - to - accident - tank pipeline with a steel wedge - type gate valve, which is used for the emergency liquid - inlet process to the accident tank. The right end of the single - volume manifold is connected to a steel wedge - type gate valve, and a main - manifold purging reserved head is connected to the steel wedge - type gate valve, which is used for the single - well single - volume and the station pipeline purging process.

[0010] Further, the right end of the single - volume manifold is connected to the main - manifold - to - in - station single - volume meter pipeline with a steel wedge - type gate valve. The main - manifold - to - in - station single - volume meter pipeline is welded to the single - volume manifold and is used for measuring the single - volume liquid volume.

[0011] Further, one end of the oil - gathering manifold connected to the chemical - dosing pipeline is connected to an oil - gathering manifold purging reserved head.

[0012] Further, well - group oil - incoming sampling ports are connected to the well - group oil - incoming pipelines, through which comprehensive samples of the liquid from the well group can be taken to master the water - cut change of the crude oil in the well group.

[0013] Further, the single - volume manifold is also connected to an internal - thread gate valve, and a pressure transmitter is connected to the internal - thread gate valve. The pressure transmitter is used for monitoring the gathering pressure.

The other side of the heating - type pig receiver is connected to the main - manifold - to - heating - furnace pipeline with a steel wedge - type gate valve. A bypass pipeline is connected between the oil - gathering manifold and the main - manifold - to - heating - furnace pipeline, and a steel wedge - type gate valve is provided on the bypass pipeline.

[0015] Furthermore, flange covers are provided at both ends of the single - volume manifold for blind plugging, which facilitates the cleaning of the pipeline.

[0016] Furthermore, pressure transmitters are installed on each oil pipeline from the well group to be used for transmitting pressure data to the station control system in real - time. Pressure transmitters are also installed on the oil - collecting manifolds on both sides of the heating - type pig receiver and on the pipeline from the main manifold to the heating furnace.

[0017] Furthermore, the swing check valve is connected to the single - volume manifold and the oil - collecting manifold through a tee pipeline and is used for switching the process for gathering and transportation or the liquid volume of the single - volume well group.

[0019] The utility model provides a vertical main manifold that is convenient for pressure testing and preventing back - flow. A swing check valve and a steel wedge - type gate valve are installed at the front end (oil inlet) of the main manifold. By closing the steel wedge - type gate valve connected to the oil pipeline from the well group and disassembling the swing check valve, direct clean - water pressure testing or pipeline scale removal operations can be carried out. During the disassembly process, it is not necessary to relieve the pressure of the oil pipeline from the well group, avoiding the risk of crude oil and gas leakage and reducing the safety and environmental protection risks brought by pipeline pressure relief. During the process of process switching, it is not necessary to remove the tee pipeline, valves, and ball - blocking nets. At the same time, the swing check valve can prevent back - flow leakage caused by the pressure drop due to pipeline leakage of crude oil during daily operation, reducing the operation difficulty, workload, and improving the operation efficiency during the process of daily scale removal of the oil pipeline.
