Example 2A pressure reducing System for submerged production of deep Water oil-gas field
Embodiment 2 provides a subsea production depressurization system for a deepwater oil-gas field, and the structure thereof is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 2 and3, the deepwater field subsea production depressurization system comprises an oil and gas production well O, a subsea high integrity pressure protection system a of example 1, a buffer pipe segment B, a subsea pipe segment C, a riser segment D and a platform M,
The oil gas production well O stores oil gas as a high-pressure source, the submarine pipeline section C is provided with an underwater production facility and a submarine pipeline connected with the underwater production facility, the platform M is an oil gas production platform above the sea level, the deepwater vertical pipeline section D is provided with a deepwater vertical pipe, and the upper end of the deepwater vertical pipe is suspended on the platform M.
In the usual case, the outlet of the oil and gas production well O is in butt joint with the inlet of the subsea pipe section C. In order to realize the connection of the submarine pipeline section C and the platform M, a section of the submarine pipeline section C, which is close to the discharge end of the platform M, is provided with a tieback sea pipe C1, and the tieback sea pipe C1 is in butt joint with the lower end of a deepwater riser of the deepwater riser section D.
In order to control the shut-off of the flow of oil and gas in the submarine pipeline, the top of the deepwater riser suspended on the platform M is provided with a landing platform shut-off valve 5.
Since the high pressure oil gas flow of the oil and gas production well O is normally conducted through the tieback sea pipe C1 and the deepwater riser D, the pressure in the sea pipe C1 and the deepwater riser D will accumulate to the shut-in pressure in consideration of the overpressure condition. In the design stage, conservative practice is adopted, and the design pressure of the deepwater vertical pipe and the tieback sea pipe C1 is taken as the maximum shut-in pressure value P1, so that the pipe wall thickness is very large.
However, the underwater high-integrity pressure protection system A can realize depressurization in an underwater production state, so that the internal pressure of the deepwater riser of the submarine pipeline section C and the tieback sea pipe C1 thereof and the deepwater riser section D is obviously reduced and is lower than the maximum shut-in pressure value P1, and the internal pressure of the deepwater riser section D takes a seabed design pressure value P2, so that the wall thicknesses of the deepwater riser and the tieback sea pipe C1 are reduced. Wherein the subsea design pressure value P2 is numerically equal to the shut-in pressure in a conventional well. The specific method comprises the following steps:
the discharge port of the oil gas production well O is in butt joint with the well inflow port 11 of the matched pipeline 1 of the underwater high-integrity pressure protection system A;
The well flow outlet 12 of the matched pipeline 1 of the underwater high-integrity pressure protection system A is connected with the feed inlet of the submarine pipeline section C through a buffer pipeline to form a buffer pipeline section B.
The buffer pipe section B is beneficial to reducing the influence on the pressure in the submarine pipe section C after the low-temperature hydrate which occurs at the downstream in the response shutdown process of the underwater high-integrity pressure protection system A, so that the pressure of fluid flowing out of the buffer pipe section can be reduced to a submarine design pressure value P2. Specifically, in the response shutdown process of the underwater high-integrity pressure protection system A, low-temperature hydrate blockage easily occurs at the downstream, and high-pressure fluid gushes in to cause the pressure of a pipe section between the installation position of the underwater high-integrity pressure protection system A and the blockage point to rapidly rise, so that a buffer pipe section B is arranged, and the pressure of fluid flowing out of an outlet of the buffer pipe section B is reduced to a seabed design pressure value P2. The length of the buffer pipe section B is calculated through dynamic simulation according to the fluid flow rate and pressure value flowing into the well inflow port 11 of the underwater high-integrity pressure protection system a and the turn-off time of the turn-off valve 40 of the final execution facility 4.
In order to prevent internal leakage of two shut-off valves 40 of a final execution facility 4 of the underwater high-integrity pressure protection system A and pressure accumulation, the wall thickness of a deepwater riser of the deepwater riser section D is larger than that of a tie-back sea pipe C1 and also to prevent damage or casualties of facilities of a platform M caused by overpressure damage of the deepwater riser section D, meanwhile, a pressure safety valve 6 is arranged at the top of the deepwater riser upstream of the landing shut-off valve 5, and when the pressure in the deepwater riser exceeds a set critical value, the pressure safety valve 6 opens a release fluid to realize pressure release.
When the underwater production depressurization system of the deepwater oil-gas field is applied to depressurization, the system also comprises a christmas tree shutdown system, and the christmas tree shutdown system and the underwater high-integrity pressure protection system A are two mutually independent overpressure protection systems.
When the underwater high-integrity pressure protection system A works, once the overpressure is detected, the Christmas tree shutdown system is started first, and the underwater high-integrity pressure protection system A can be started only when the Christmas tree shutdown system fails to timely and effectively shut off a high-pressure source. For example, the tree shut-off pressure is 22MPaA and the subsea high integrity pressure protection system a shut-off pressure is 25MPaA.
An application example of the deepwater oil-gas field underwater production depressurization system disclosed by the invention is described below, an underwater high-integrity pressure protection system is installed for a certain production well with particularly high shut-in pressure, a corresponding buffer pipe section B and reasonable process parameter design are arranged, and on the premise of ensuring safety, the design pressures of a manifold, a conventional well jumper and a sea pipe are greatly reduced, so that the installation difficulty of the manifold is reduced, and the laying efficiency of the sea pipe is improved. Wherein, referring to fig. 3, the underwater production facility comprises a south manifold, a sea pipe, a north manifold, an underwater service barrel and a pipeline terminal which are sequentially connected, wherein the south manifold comprises a plurality of well jumper pipes, the north manifold comprises a plurality of well jumper pipes, the underwater production facility and the tieback sea pipe C1 are mutually connected to form a submarine pipeline network, the design pressure in the submarine pipeline network is the closing pressure in a conventional well, and the pressure value of the submarine pipeline network is equal to the submarine design pressure value P2. In a specific example, the subsea design pressure value p2=38.2 MPaA, the pipeline terminal is communicated with the deepwater riser of the deepwater riser section D through a tie-back sea pipe C1, the length of the tie-back sea pipe C1 is 113Km, the internal pressure of the tie-back sea pipe C1 is 38.2MPaA, and the length of a connecting pipe from a south manifold to a north manifold sea pipe is 5.7Km.
In the use process, in order to ensure normal operation and monitor the operation state, periodic tests are needed, including short-frequency tests and full-function tests. The short-frequency test is usually carried out for 3-6 months, and comprises a valve part stroke test, a pressure sensor test and the like, so that the on-line production test can be carried out without shutting down the gas well. The full-function test is carried out once a year, and comprises a shut-off pressure response test, a shut-off valve tightness test and the like, wherein the shut-in of a wellhead of the connected underwater high-integrity pressure protection system A is stopped in the test process.
