The flow rate is the most important of the data, and the measurement of the crude oil flow rate is generally carried out by a flow meter at present, and the flow meter has various forms, including a differential pressure type, a rotor type, a throttling type, a positive displacement type and the like, wherein the positive displacement type flow meter has higher precision and is widely applied, and the flow meter of the form is represented by an oval gear flow meter.

Because the application range of the positive displacement flowmeter is limited due to the requirement on the application environment, it is necessary to provide a crude oil flow measuring system to create a suitable application environment for the positive displacement flowmeter so as to improve the flow measurement accuracy.

Detailed Description

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

The invention relates to a structure of a crude oil flow remote online measurement system, which comprises a filtering device, a metering device, a calibration device and a remote storage device, wherein the filtering device and the metering device are communicated by pipelines in sequence and are respectively used for filtering crude oil and measuring flow; the metering device is internally provided with a flowmeter, and the flowmeter, the calibrating device and the remote storage device are in communication connection in a wired or wireless mode in sequence; the calibration device and the remote storage device are respectively used for calibrating the flow data measured by the flowmeter and remotely storing the calibrated flow data.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the filtering apparatus includes a crude oil input pipe 100, an intermediate output pipe 200, and a primary gas output pipe 300, a filter screen 110 is installed inside the crude oil input pipe 100 near a distal end, an impurity discharge pipe 120 is installed on a lower side of the crude oil input pipe 100 near the filter screen 110, a side wall of the impurity discharge pipe 120 near the filter screen 110 is inclined, and a height thereof is gradually lowered in a direction toward the impurity discharge pipe 120 to guide impurities filtered by the filter screen 110 into the impurity discharge pipe 120. Two valves are installed on the impurity discharge pipe 120: an upper valve 111 and a lower valve 112, the upper valve 111 being located above the lower valve 112. In the normal oil transportation process, the upper valve 111 and the lower valve 112 are both closed, impurities filtered by the filter screen 110 are precipitated in the pipeline space above the upper valve 111, when the precipitation amount reaches a certain value, the upper valve 111 is opened to enable the precipitated impurities to fall into the pipeline space above the lower valve 112, the upper valve 111 is closed after all the impurities flow in, and then the lower valve 112 is opened to discharge the impurities.

The outlet of the filter screen 110 is provided with a flow dividing pipeline 130, the flow dividing pipeline 130 then divides into a primary air duct 310 and a middle oil guiding pipe 210, the primary air duct 310 is located above the middle oil guiding pipe 210, and the primary air duct 310 and the middle oil guiding pipe 210 both form an obtuse included angle with the flow dividing pipeline 130. The primary air duct 310 is arranged above the intermediate oil conduit 210, so that crude oil flows into the intermediate oil conduit 210 under the action of gravity after flowing out of the diversion pipeline 130, gas mixed in the crude oil enters the primary air duct 310, and included angles between the primary air duct 310 and the intermediate oil conduit 210 and the diversion pipeline 130 are all set to be obtuse angles, so that the flow velocity of liquid and gas in the crude oil cannot be excessively lost.

The primary gas conduit 310 is in communication with the primary gas outlet conduit 300 and the intermediate oil conduit 210 is in communication with the intermediate outlet conduit 200. Although the crude oil in the diversion pipeline 130 is separated into the intermediate oil conduit 210 and the outlet gas-guide tube 310, a portion of the crude oil inevitably flows into the primary gas-guide tube 310 during the high-speed flow of the crude oil. In order to reduce the crude oil flowing into the primary air duct 310, a primary porous baffle 311 is installed inside the primary air duct 310, and the primary porous baffle 311 is provided with a large number of through holes, so that most of the crude oil can be blocked without influencing the gas flow. Nevertheless, a small portion of the crude oil can pass through the primary porous baffle 311, in order to further recover the crude oil, the primary gas guiding pipe 310 is provided with a primary oil returning pipe 320 at the rear of the primary porous baffle 311 in the gas flowing direction, the end of the primary oil returning pipe 320 is communicated with the intermediate oil guiding pipe 210, the flow speed of the crude oil passing through the primary porous baffle 311 is greatly reduced, and therefore the crude oil can flow back to the intermediate oil guiding pipe 210 along the primary oil returning pipe 320, and finally the crude oil flows out from the intermediate output pipe 200.

The metering device comprises a metering output pipe 400 and a secondary gas output pipe 500, the tail end of the middle output pipe 200 is divided into a metering input pipe 410 and a secondary gas guide pipe 510, the metering input pipe 410 is communicated with the metering output pipe 400, and the secondary gas guide pipe 510 is communicated with the secondary gas output pipe 500. The secondary air duct 510 is located above the metering input tube 410, and the secondary air duct 510 and the metering input tube 410 are both at an obtuse angle with the intermediate output tube 200. The secondary air duct 510 is arranged above the metering input tube 410, so that crude oil flows into the metering input tube 410 under the action of gravity after flowing out of the intermediate output tube 200, a small amount of gas mixed in the crude oil enters the secondary air duct 510, included angles between the secondary air duct 510 and the metering input tube 410 and the intermediate output tube 200 are all set to be obtuse angles, and the flow rate of liquid and gas in the crude oil cannot be excessively lost.

The metering input pipe 410 is provided with a positive displacement flowmeter 411 which is an elliptic gear flowmeter, and the flowmeter 411 sends measured flow data to the calibrating device.

The purpose of the filtering device is the same, a second-stage porous baffle 511 is arranged in the second-stage air duct 510, a second-stage oil return pipe 520 is arranged behind the second-stage porous baffle 511 in the air flowing direction of the second-stage air duct 510, and the tail end of the second-stage oil return pipe 520 is communicated with the metering output pipe 400. In this embodiment, although the crude oil in the secondary oil return pipe 520 is separated from the gas, the crude oil in the secondary oil return pipe 520 still has a longer contact time with the gas in the process of entering the secondary gas guiding pipe 510 and passing through the secondary porous baffle 511, so that the crude oil in the secondary oil return pipe 520 is still mixed with more gas than the crude oil in the metering input pipe 410, and therefore the connection point of the secondary oil return pipe 520 and the metering output pipe 400 is located behind the flow meter 411 in the flow direction of the crude oil, so as to improve the measurement accuracy of the flow meter 411 on the crude oil flowing through as much as possible. It is also because a portion of the crude oil has not been measured by the flow meter 411 that the flow data measured by the flow meter 411 needs to be calibrated by the calibration device.

After receiving the flow data sent by the flow meter 411, the calibration device calibrates the flow data according to a set calibration strategy. The calibration strategy is as follows:

and selecting a corresponding calibration standard according to the type of the crude oil in the pipeline, wherein the calibration standard comprises calibration values of each crude oil at different flow rates, and the calibration standard can be obtained in a laboratory in an experimental mode. The crude oil can be divided into various types according to different standards, for example, the crude oil can be divided into paraffin-based crude oil, naphthenic-based crude oil and intermediate-based crude oil according to the components, the crude oil can be divided into ultra-low sulfur crude oil, sulfur-containing crude oil and high sulfur crude oil according to the sulfur content, and the like, and the crude oil of each type cannot be completely the same in amount due to different properties at the same flow rate in the metering device, so the calibration needs to be carried out according to the type of the crude oil to ensure the accuracy of the calibration result;

under the selected calibration standard, a corresponding calibration value is determined according to the flow rate data measured by the flow meter 411, and the flow data is calibrated by using the calibration value to obtain calibrated flow data. The flow rate of the crude oil also has a large effect on the amount of crude oil flowing through the secondary oil return pipe 520, and little or no crude oil flows into the secondary oil return pipe 520 when the flow rate of the same crude oil is low, while a large amount of crude oil enters the secondary oil return pipe 520 when the flow rate is high.

And the remote storage device receives the calibrated flow data sent by the calibration device in real time and stores the data so as to facilitate the checking of the monitoring center.

In the embodiment, through the two-stage oil-gas separation of the filtering device and the metering device, a better separation effect can be achieved, and the flow measurement precision is improved to a certain extent. In the above-described filtering apparatus and metering apparatus, the separated gas is discharged from the gas outlet pipe, and if it is inconvenient or not allowed to discharge the gas in some applications, the gas outlet pipe may be removed, i.e., the primary gas guide pipe 310, the primary gas outlet pipe 300 and the primary oil return pipe 310 are removed in the filtering apparatus to remove the oil-gas separation function of the filtering apparatus, and the secondary gas outlet pipe 500 is removed in the metering apparatus to allow the gas to enter the metering outlet pipe 400 through the secondary oil return pipe 520.
