Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of multi-well metering of a gas well group, in particular to a multi-well metering system for a gas well group. Background Art
[0002] During gas well production, gas and liquid production are not only production parameters but also crucial process parameters. Accurate, real-time measurement of individual well gas and liquid production is crucial for developing precise drainage gas production plans and optimizing process parameters in real time.
[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have found the following problems: currently, during gas well production, only single wells can be metered, and the cost of single well metering is high and the metering accuracy is low, which is not convenient for on-site application in gas well production.
[0004] Therefore, in view of this, the existing structure and deficiencies are studied and improved, and a multi-well metering system for a gas well group is provided in order to achieve a purpose with greater practical value. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a multi-well metering system for a gas well group to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.
[0006] In view of the above problems, the technical solution proposed by the present invention is:
[0007] A multi-well metering system for a gas well group includes a well group, a metering circuit, a separation component and a PLC control cabinet. The metering circuit includes a pair of pipelines, each of which is equipped with a first one-way valve, and each of which is equipped with a first electric switch valve on the outside of the pair of pipelines and located on one side of the first one-way valve. The pair of pipelines are each connected to a branch pipe on the outside, and each of which is equipped with a second electric switch valve on the outside. A manifold is connected between one end of the pair of branch pipes, and a pressure transmitter is installed on the outside of the manifold. A control system is provided inside the PLC control cabinet. The control system includes a control module, a switching control module, a data acquisition module, a metering module, a data processing module and a communication module.

[0008] Furthermore, the well group includes a first gas well and a second gas well, and the first gas well and the second gas well are respectively connected to one end of a pair of pipes away from the first electric switch valve, and a compressed air inlet pipe is connected between the ends of the pair of pipes away from the well group.
[0009] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that, by providing a compressed air inlet pipe, it is convenient to connect the compressed air inlet pipe to the compressor, thereby performing gas lift production.

[0011] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further scheme is that by installing a two-phase separator, gas-liquid separation can be carried out on natural gas with liquid. Due to the different specific gravities of gas and liquid, when the liquid flows with the gas, it will be affected by gravity and produce a downward speed, while the gas still flows in the original direction. The liquid and gas tend to separate in the gravitational field, so that the separated gas and liquid are discharged through the gas circulation pipe and the liquid circulation pipe respectively. By installing a liquid metering pump and a gas flow meter, the liquid flow in the liquid circulation pipe and the gas flow in the gas circulation pipe are monitored respectively. By installing a second one-way valve, the backflow of liquid and gas in the liquid circulation pipe and the gas circulation pipe is avoided. At the same time, the liquid circulation pipe and the gas circulation pipe are connected to the external transmission pipeline.
[0012] Furthermore, the control module includes a touch screen and a central control automatic controller, and the input and output ends of the central control automatic controller are communicatively connected with the input and output ends of the liquid metering pump, the gas flow meter and the pressure transmitter.

The time interval can be set for the central control automatic controller through the touch screen to facilitate the timely issuance of control signals.
[0014] Furthermore, the input and output ends of the switching control module are both communicatively connected with the input and output ends of the first electric switching valve and the second electric switching valve.
[0015] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is that when the set time is reached, the central control automatic controller sends a control signal, switching the control module to close the first electric switch valve and the second electric switch valve on the metering circuit connected to the first gas well, and open the first electric switch valve and the second electric switch valve on the metering circuit connected to the second gas well, thereby realizing time-sharing metering of the well group.
[0016] Furthermore, the metering module includes a liquid metering calculation module and a gas metering calculation module.
[0017] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is that, through the metering module, the central control automatic controller transmits data to the data acquisition module to collect the liquid flow and gas flow. The collected data are respectively input into the metering module, and the liquid-gas ratio of the liquefied natural gas is calculated through the liquid metering calculation module and the gas metering calculation module.
[0018] Furthermore, the data processing module includes a coprocessor, a control unit, a logic operation unit and a storage unit, and the communication module is wirelessly connected to the data analysis platform.
[0019] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is that, through the data processing module, the data is processed through the coordinated use of the coprocessor, control unit, logic operation unit and storage unit, thereby improving the data processing efficiency. At the same time, the processed data is remotely transmitted to the data analysis platform through the communication module, and then the data analysis platform automatically generates reports and curves for subsequent use in process parameter analysis.

By providing a touch screen, the operator can conveniently perform timing and control work through the touch screen, and the input and output ends of the central control automatic controller are communicated with the input and output ends of the liquid metering pump, the gas flow meter and the pressure transmitter, so that the flow data monitored by the liquid metering pump and the gas flow meter and the gas injection pressure data monitored by the pressure transmitter are displayed through the touch screen. The time interval can be set for the central control automatic controller through the touch screen so that the control signal can be sent out at regular intervals. When the set time is reached, At a certain time, the central control automatic controller sends a control signal to switch the control module to close the first electric switch valve and the second electric switch valve on the metering circuit connected to the first gas well, and open the first electric switch valve and the second electric switch valve on the metering circuit connected to the second gas well, thereby realizing time-sharing metering of the well group.

[0033] Specifically, the working principle of the multi-well metering system for a gas well group is as follows: when using, when the gas-liquid separation and metering of the liquefied natural gas in the first gas well 1001 is carried out, by setting the compressed air inlet pipe 600, it is convenient to connect the compressed air inlet pipe 600 with the compressor, so as to carry out gas lift production, so that the liquefied natural gas enters the interior of the two-phase separator 3001 through the pipeline 2001, the branch pipe 2004 and the manifold 2006. By installing the two-phase separator 3001, the liquefied natural gas can be separated into gas and liquid. Due to the different specific gravities of gas and liquid, the liquid will be affected by gravity when flowing with the gas, generating a downward speed, while the gas still flows in the original direction. The liquid and gas tend to separate in the gravitational field. Thereby, the separated gas and liquid are discharged through the gas circulation pipe 3004 and the liquid circulation pipe 3002 respectively. By installing the liquid metering pump 3003 and the gas flow meter 3005, the liquid in the liquid circulation pipe 3002 and the gas flow in the gas circulation pipe 3004 are monitored respectively. By installing the second one-way valve 3006, the backflow of liquid and gas in the liquid circulation pipe 3002 and the gas circulation pipe 3004 is avoided. At the same time, the liquid circulation pipe 3002 and the gas circulation pipe 3004 are connected to the external transmission pipeline. By installing the liquid level meter 3007, it is convenient to monitor the liquid level. By setting the touch screen, the operator can perform timing and control work through the touch screen, and the input and output ports of the central control automatic controller are controlled. The communication connection between the input and output ends of the liquid metering pump 3003, the gas flow meter 3005 and the pressure transmitter 2007 facilitates the display of the flow data monitored by the liquid metering pump 3003 and the gas flow meter 3005 and the gas injection pressure data monitored by the pressure transmitter 2007 through the touch screen. The time interval can be set for the central control automatic controller through the touch screen so as to send out the control signal at a fixed time. When the set time is reached, the central control automatic controller sends out a control signal to switch the control module to close the first electric switch valve 2003 and the second electric switch valve 2005 on the metering circuit 200 connected to the first gas well 1001, and open the first electric switch valve 200 on the metering circuit 200 connected to the second gas well 1002. The closing valve 2003 and the second electric switch valve 2005 are used to realize the time-sharing metering of the well group 100. Through the metering module, the central control automatic controller transmits the data to the data acquisition module to collect the liquid flow and gas flow. The collected data are respectively input into the metering module, and the liquid-gas ratio of the liquefied natural gas is calculated through the liquid metering calculation module and the gas metering calculation module. The data is processed by the data processing module. The coordinated use of the coprocessor, the control unit, the logical operation unit and the storage unit improves the data processing efficiency. At the same time, the processed data is remotely transmitted to the data analysis platform through the communication module, and the data analysis platform automatically generates reports and curves for subsequent use in process parameter analysis.
