TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to offshore oil platform technical field especially relates to a kind of offshore oil and gas field wellhead control panel manual relay valve mechanical limiting device. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the continuous development of offshore oil production facilities, the intelligent level gradually improves, and the remote control capability of offshore oil production facilities gradually improves and develops greatly. Under the background of digital empowerment, realizing the humanization, unmanned and remote control production of offshore oil production facilities gradually becomes a reality. The offshore oil production facilities in the eastern South China Sea are affected by typhoon, and often need to take typhoon avoidance measures (personnel evacuation, production shutdown) in typhoon season, which has a great impact on production. In order to solve this problem, the facilities in the eastern South China Sea are currently promoting the production modification project of typhoon mode to realize the evacuation of personnel before the arrival of typhoon, and the demand for remote control to continue production. This modification also makes offshore facilities have two modes of normal production with people and short-term production without people in typhoon. In order to better improve the sustainability of production, in the unmanned mode, if there is a general and safe and controllable shutdown, remote oil well production needs to be realized.
[0003] At present, the modification demand of offshore oil and gas field facility typhoon mode makes offshore oil and gas field facility have two modes of normal production with people and short-term production without people in typhoon. In the two modes, different control demands are generated for the reset of facility wellhead control panel, and two functions of remote reset of production wellhead control panel in typhoon mode and on-site reset of conventional production with people need to be realized.
[0004] Wellhead control panel is an important equipment in offshore oil and gas field production, which is mainly used for controlling safety valve on oil tree, safety valve / gas valve and electric submersible pump, etc. According to the relevant monitoring signals, the oil production equipment is sequentially shut down to ensure that the offshore platform or equipment is always in a safe state. It mainly includes hydraulic pump, isolation valve, manual relay valve, pressure gauge, solenoid valve, etc. The manual relay valve is the main component for realizing on-site shutdown, production and control of gas source control by wellhead control personnel. It is a two-position three-normal-closed reversing valve, which needs to be manually operated to open the high-flow control valve. After opening, the pilot pressure can be used to keep it open for a long time. When the pilot supply pressure is lost, the manual relay will automatically close to release the pressure in the control loop. Some manual relay valves are provided with a locking pin function. After opening, the valve will not act when the pilot gas pressure is lost. However, the locking pin operation used on offshore platforms is complicated and has poor stability due to factors such as vibration. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
