Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a safety device for a single well in an oilfield, and particularly to a safety device for pulling oil from a remote well using a tank. Background Technology
[0002] In the petroleum industry, some remote wells lack oil pipelines or contain crude oil that is too viscous to flow directly into pipelines. Therefore, the oil produced from these wells is stored in tanks near the well site. The oil is heated, metered, and stored in these tanks. Once a certain quantity of oil has been collected, operators open drain valves to transfer the oil to tanker trucks, which then transport it to the joint depot. In particular, some storage tanks are raised for various reasons, such as to prevent damage from ground subsidence or to mitigate the impact of natural disasters like floods and snowstorms. Therefore, their foundations are often modified or reinforced to elevate them.
[0003] However, the existing elevated single-well tanks are not equipped with safety protection devices. This means that if a fire occurs during the transfer of oil to the tanker truck, the operators will have difficulty escaping quickly from the platform next to the storage tank, resulting in personal injury.

[0018] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0019] Example 1, referring to Figures 1-2This utility model discloses a safety device for transporting oil from a remote well using a single-well tanker. It includes a solar cell 2, an electrically controlled valve antenna 3, an electrically controlled valve 4, a manual loading valve 5, a temperature-measuring camera antenna 6, a temperature-measuring camera 7, a mobile elevated operating platform 9, and an loading arm 10. An oil pipeline 1.1 is provided on one side of the storage tank 1. The electrically controlled valve 4 is installed on the oil pipeline 1.1, and the electrically controlled valve antenna 3 is installed on the electrically controlled valve 4. The electrically controlled valve 4 is connected to the solar cell 2 via an electrical wire. The output end of the electrically controlled valve 4 is connected to the manual loading valve 5, and the output end of the manual loading valve 5 is connected to the loading arm 10, which is connected to the oil inlet of the oil tanker 8. The mobile elevated operating platform 9 is installed at the rear of the oil tanker 8. The temperature-measuring camera 7 is installed at a distance from the storage tank 1 via a telescopic support rod 12, allowing for easy adjustment of the height of the temperature-measuring camera 7 and control of the temperature measurement area. The temperature-measuring camera antenna 6 is installed on the temperature-measuring camera 7.
[0020] Reference Figure 2 The mobile elevated operation platform 9 mentioned in this utility model includes a platform 9.1, a ladder 9.2, a slide 9.3, omnidirectional casters 9.4, and a support body 9.6. One end of the support body 9.6 is connected to the ladder 9.2, and the other end is connected to the slide 9.3. The top of the ladder 9.2 and the slide 9.3 are connected to the platform 9.1. The height of the platform 9.1 is higher than the height of the oil tanker 8. The bottom of the support body 9.6 is provided with one or more sets of omnidirectional casters 9.4.
[0021] The slide 9.3 is equipped with handrails 9.5 on both sides to facilitate safer sliding down in emergency situations.
[0022] The bottom of the aforementioned liquid storage tank 1 is equipped with a support leg 1.2. The bottom of the support leg 1.2 is installed on the cement foundation 1.3 to prevent the oil storage tank from being damaged due to foundation settlement and to reduce the impact of natural disasters such as summer floods and winter snow disasters on the oil storage tank.
[0023] When this utility model is in use, when the oil in the storage tank 1 reaches a certain quantity and needs to be transported away, the oil tanker 8 drives to the vicinity of the loading arm connecting the oil transfer steel pipe 1.1, and keeps the oil tanker 8 at a certain distance from the storage tank 1. Then, the mobile elevated operating platform 9 is moved to the rear of the oil tanker 8, and the operator climbs up the side of the ladder 9.2 onto the platform 9.1. The loading arm 10 is then aligned and connected to the refueling port of the oil tanker 8, and the manual filling valve 5 and the electric control valve 4 are opened to start injecting oil into the oil tanker 8. After filling, the vehicle is driven away to deliver the oil to the nearby joint station. The oil transfer steel pipe 1.1 is located in the middle of the storage tank 1 because after a period of sedimentation, the oil is located above the water. Thus, the liquid discharged from the middle is mostly crude oil. The bottom of the storage tank 1 is equipped with a drain outlet, which can discharge water, which is mostly water, after a period of time and can be transported away separately for treatment.
[0024] During refueling, when the temperature measuring camera 7 detects that the temperature of the top area of the oil tanker 8 is close to the ignition point of crude oil, the temperature measuring camera 7 sends an alarm signal and transmits a control signal through the temperature measuring camera antenna 6. If the operator is still on the platform 9.1, they can quickly escape along the slide 9.3. After receiving the signal, the electric control valve antenna 3 quickly closes the electric control valve 4 to prevent the oil in the storage tank 1 from continuing to drain, disconnects the main oil circuit, and controls the danger within a controllable range. Then, it quickly activates the fire emergency response mechanism to prevent or deal with the fire risk. It should be noted that the electric control valve 4 is powered by a separate solar cell 2 or a separate external circuit to prevent the electric control valve 4 from failing to close properly in the event of a fire.
[0025] Example 2, refer to Figure 3 The second type of remote well single-well tank oil transfer safety device mentioned in this utility model includes a solar cell 2, an electrically controlled valve antenna 3, an electrically controlled valve 4, a manual filling valve 5, a temperature measuring camera antenna 6, a temperature measuring camera 7, a mobile aerial work platform 9, and an loading arm 10. An oil transfer steel pipe 1.1 is provided on the outer wall of the middle part of the storage tank 1. The electrically controlled valve 4 is installed on the oil transfer steel pipe 1.1, and the electrically controlled valve antenna 3 is installed on the electrically controlled valve 4. The electrically controlled valve 4 is connected to the solar cell 2 via an electrical wire. The output end of door 4 is connected to the manual filling valve 5, and the output end of the manual filling valve 5 is connected to the loading arm 10. The loading arm 10 is connected to the oil inlet of the tanker truck 8. A fixed elevated operating platform 11 is installed on one side of the storage tank 1. A mobile elevated operating platform 9 is placed at the rear of the tanker truck 8. A temperature measuring camera 7 is installed at a distance from the storage tank 1 via a telescopic support rod 12. The temperature measuring camera 7 is aimed at the top of the tanker truck 8 and the refueling area to monitor the temperature. A temperature measuring camera antenna 6 is installed on the temperature measuring camera 7.
[0026] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that a fixed oil delivery steel pipe 1.1 is installed on the outer wall of the middle part of the storage tank 1, and the electric control valve 4 and the manual filling valve 5 are located on the outer side of the middle part of the storage tank 1. The operator operates by climbing onto the fixed elevated operating platform 11 installed on one side of the storage tank 1. A mobile elevated operating platform 9 is installed at the rear of the oil tanker 8 to connect the loading arm to the refueling port on the top of the oil tanker 8.
[0027] In addition, the fixed elevated operation platform 11 mentioned in this embodiment includes a second ladder 11.1, a second platform 11.2, a second slide 11.3, a reinforcing bar 11.4, and a third ladder 11.5. The second platform 11.2 is provided with a second ladder 11.1 on one side and a second slide 11.3 on the other side. The third ladder 11.5 is installed on the upper part of the second platform 11.2, and one or more reinforcing bars 11.4 are installed on the lower part of the second platform 11.2, which increases the sturdiness of the fixed elevated operation platform 11.
[0028] When this utility model is in use, when the oil in the storage tank 1 reaches a certain quantity and needs to be transported away, the oil tanker 8 drives to the vicinity of the loading arm 10 connecting the end of the oil transfer steel pipe 1.1, and keeps the oil tanker 8 at a certain distance from the storage tank 1. Then, the mobile elevated operating platform 9 is moved to the rear of the oil tanker 8, and the operator climbs up the side of the ladder 9.2 onto the platform 9.1. Then, the loading arm is aligned and connected to the refueling port of the oil tanker 8. Then, the operator climbs onto the fixed elevated operating platform 11, opens the electric control valve 4, opens the manual filling valve 5, and begins to inject oil into the oil tanker 8. After filling, the vehicle drives away and delivers the oil to the nearby joint station.
[0029] During refueling, when the temperature measuring camera 7 detects that the temperature on the top of the oil tanker 8 and the refueling area is close to the warning temperature, the temperature measuring camera 7 issues an alarm signal and transmits the signal through the temperature measuring camera antenna 6. If the operator is still on the mobile elevated operating platform 9 or the fixed elevated operating platform 11, they can quickly escape along the slide. After receiving the signal, the electric control valve antenna 3 quickly closes the electric control valve 4 to prevent the oil in the storage tank 1 from continuing to discharge, disconnects the main oil circuit, and controls the danger within a controllable range. Then, the fire emergency response mechanism is quickly activated to prevent or deal with the fire risk.
[0030] It should be noted that the electrically controlled valve 4 is powered by a separate solar cell 2 or a separate external circuit to prevent the electrically controlled valve 4 from failing to close properly in the event of a fire.
[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art may modify this utility model or modify it into an equivalent technical solution using the technical solutions described above. Therefore, any simple modifications or equivalent transformations made based on the technical solutions of this utility model are within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
