Definitions
- the present invention relates to devices and processes used in well drilling and well testing. More specifically, the invention relates to a closed loop well fluid heat exchange system, a control assembly and a method for monitoring and controlling a closed loop heat exchange system.
- a steam-heat exchanger such as a shell & tube heat exchanger, may be used to heat the well fluids.
- the steam for the heat exchanger is provided by a steam boiler and the heat exchanger also accommodates a separate fluid path for the well fluids that flow through the heat exchanger.
- the well fluids usually flow through inner tubes, while the steam flows outside the tubes but within the shell of the heat exchanger. Heat is then transferred from the steam to the well fluids through the inner tube walls.
- the condensed steam may be routed back to a steam boiler water tank so that it can be re-used as feed water for the steam boiler to produce hot steam for the heat exchanger system.
- This closed loop arrangement between the heat exchanger and the steam boiler allows retaining at least some of the heat that was not transferred to the well fluids, thus improving the heat generator's energy efficiency.
- Preferred embodiments of the invention seek to overcome one or more of the above disadvantages of the prior art.
- a well fluid heat exchange system for processing well fluids comprising:
- a heat exchanger adapted to exchange at least part of the heat between a first fluid medium and a second fluid medium, the second fluid medium being fluidly isolated from said first fluid medium;
- a heat generator adapted to increase the temperature of said first fluid medium so as to change the phase of said first fluid medium, wherein said heat exchanger and said heat generator form a closed loop fluid path for said first fluid medium, and
- control assembly located downstream of said heat exchanger and upstream of said heat generator within said closed loop fluid path, and adapted to monitor at least a first physical property of said first fluid medium and selectively divert at least part of said first fluid medium from said closed loop fluid path.
- the first fluid medium may be selectively diverted in response to at least one predetermined condition.
- said heat generator may be adapted to change the phase of said first fluid medium from its liquid phase to its gaseous phase.
- heated fluids such as hot steam
- the heat generator e.g. steam boiler
- the risk of feeding potentially contaminated steam and/or steam condensate back to the steam boiler for re- use or the risk of the system reaching a potentially dangerous condition is minimized by continuous monitoring of at least one specific characteristic of the returned fluid.
- the monitored characteristic (s) is compared to a pre-set threshold, which may be a measure of an unacceptable fluid contamination and/or a potentially dangerous "over-pressure" within the system.
- the fluid exiting the heat exchanger is automatically diverted out of the closed loop fluid path and removed from the heat exchange system.
- the fluid causing the potentially "dangerous" condition either through contamination or over-pressure, is simply diverted into the sea so that (i) none of the contaminated fluid is returned to the heat generator (i.e. steam boiler), or (ii) fluid is diverted or otherwise removed to decrease the pressure within the system. Therefore, the monitored and automatically controlled heat exchange system provides a safeguard in the event of unforeseeable structural damage or component failure when recycling heat exchange fluid such as steam and steam condensate.
- the control assembly may comprise a remotely actuatable diverter valve in direct fluid communication with an output of said heat exchanger and which is adapted to selectively direct, remove, expel or divert said first fluid out of the closed loop fluid path.
- the diverter valve may be pneumatically operable.
- the control assembly may further comprise a monitor device located downstream of said diverter valve and adapted to monitor at least said first physical property of said first fluid medium and provide at least one signal in response to at least one predetermined condition.
- the at least one signal may be any one or all of an actuating signal, a monitoring signal, visual alarm signal and audible alarm signal.
- the control assembly may further comprise an actuator device operatively coupled to said diverter valve and adapted to receive said at least one signal and selectively actuate said diverter valve.
- the diverter valve may be a 3 -way slam shut valve, such as the Norbo 40R (although, other suitable valves may also be used), which is activated by a solenoid valve via an air supply line.
- This particular mechanism provides a failsafe and fast valve shut and/or diverter mechanism.
- the monitor device may comprise a turbidity meter and/or a pressure switch and/or a pressure gauge.
- a turbidity meter provides the advantage of a relatively simple, but clear and unambiguous mechanism showing fluid contamination (e.g. increased cloudiness), which may be a clear indicator that well fluids have leaked through structurally damaged heat exchanger tubes (i.e. pin holes, fissures).
- the pressure switch can provide an actuating signal to the actuator device in direct response to a predetermined pressure change within the heat exchange system allowing a fast response to any potentially harmful changes within the system.
- the pressure gauge can provide valuable information to the operator about the current pressure status of the system so that providing an early indication of a potentially harmful situation.
- the heat exchange system may further comprise a condenser device located downstream of said diverter valve and upstream of said monitor device within said closed loop fluid path, and which is adapted to change said first fluid medium from its gaseous phase into its liquid phase.
- the condenser device may be operable using said first fluid medium directly from said heat generator bypassing said heat exchanger.
- the heat exchange system may further comprise a filter device located downstream of said diverter valve and upstream of said monitor device and adapted to filter said first fluid medium.
- the first fluid medium may comprise steam and steam condensate.
- the filter device can remove potentially harmful particles from the recycled fluid, wherein the condenser device ensures that only fully liquefied fluid condensate is returned to the heat generator.
- the heat exchanger may be a shell and tube heat exchanger having isolated / separate fluid paths for respective first fluid medium and second fluid medium.
- first fluid medium and second fluid medium are common and proven heat exchanger systems within the oil and gas industry.
- the heat generator may comprise an external fluid tank adapted to receive and store said first fluid medium.
- a control assembly for a well fluid heat exchange system comprising:
- a remotely actuatable diverter valve directly coupleable to an output of a well fluid heat exchanger and adapted to selectively direct a fluid medium into at least one of a first fluid path and a second fluid path;
- a monitor device located downstream of said diverter valve during use and adapted to monitor at least a first physical property of a fluid medium and provide at least one signal at a predetermined condition
- an actuator device operatively coupled to said diverter valve and adapted to receive said at least one signal and selectively actuate said diverter valve to direct the said fluid medium into at least one of said first fluid path and said second fluid path.
- the well fluid heat exchange system may be in accordance with the first aspect of the invention.
- the monitor device may comprise a turbidity meter and/or a pressure switch and/or a pressure gauge.
- the at least one signal may be any one or all of an actuating signal, a monitoring signal, visual alarm signal and audible alarm signal.
- a method for monitoring and controlling the re-use of a fluid medium in a closed loop well fluid heat exchange system comprising the steps of:
- the at least one physical property may be either one or both of first fluid medium turbidity and first fluid medium pressure.
- the predetermined condition may be either one or both of a predetermined first fluid turbidity and a predetermined first fluid pressure.
- the method may further comprise the step of providing an audible and/or visible alarm when the predetermined condition is met.
- the method may further comprise the step of providing said monitored at least one physical property to a remote location.
- the method may further comprise the step of condensing said first fluid medium received from the outlet of the heat exchanger before monitoring said at least one physical property.
- the method may further comprise the step of filtering said first fluid medium before the step of condensing said first fluid medium.
- Figure 1 shows a schematic of the preferred embodiment of the well fluid heat exchange system in accordance with the various aspects of the present invention.
- An example of the preferred embodiment of the heat exchange system 100 comprises a shell & tube heat exchanger 101 in a closed loop fluid path arrangement with a heat generator having, for example, a steam boiler 102 and a feed water tank 104 that is in fluid communication with the steam boiler 102.
- the closed loop fluid path comprises a steam feed line 105, a feed return line 106 and a bypass supply line 107.
- the steam is generated in the steam boiler 102 and fed via steam feed line 105 into the heat exchanger 101, where heat is exchanged between the hot steam and the well fluids.
- the steam and steam condensate is then returned through an outlet of the heat exchanger 101 via the return line 106 and into the feed water tank 104, which supplies the steam boiler 102.
- Steam is fed from the steam boiler 102 to the heat exchanger 101 via steam feed line 105 and through a tee piece 108.
- the tee piece 108 also provides a steam supply through bypass supply line 107, which is a valved (by means of a 1" steam isolation valve 109) 1" steam hose 107, to drive a condenser device 114 (for example, via another 1" steam isolation valve), which is a combined returns pump and steam trap 114 (e.g. a TLV PowerTrap GT10, although other suitable combined steam driven returns pump and steam traps can be used instead) including a no-return valve.
- a condenser device 114 for example, via another 1" steam isolation valve
- a combined returns pump and steam trap 114 e.g. a TLV PowerTrap GT10, although other suitable combined steam driven returns pump and steam traps can be used instead
- the steam provided to heat exchanger 101 transfers it's latent heat to the well fluids and condenses in the process.
- the condensed steam then flows out of the heat exchanger 101 and through a diverter valve 110, such as a slam shut diverter valve (e.g. Norbro 40R, Flowserve®, 20 bar rated, although other suitable valves can be used instead), through a filter device 112, such as a selected strainer 112 (e.g. duplex strainer assembly) and into the condenser device 114. If the pressure upstream of the condenser device 114 is greater than the downstream pressure, then the condenser device 114 operates as a steam trap.
- a diverter valve 110 such as a slam shut diverter valve (e.g. Norbro 40R, Flowserve®, 20 bar rated, although other suitable valves can be used instead)
- a filter device 112 such as a selected strainer 112 (e.g. duplex strainer assembly) and into the con
- the condenser device 114 operates as a pump.
- the steam condensate from the condenser device 114 is then fed back into the feed water tank 104 via a steam manifold 124 (e.g. 2" steam condensate return manifold).
- condensate pressure is continuously monitored at a pressure switch 118 (e.g. Danfoss, type RT, although other suitable pressure switches can be used instead).
- a pressure switch 118 e.g. Danfoss, type RT, although other suitable pressure switches can be used instead.
- Part of the steam condensate provided by the condenser device 114 is fed by the steam manifold 124 through a turbidity meter 120 (e.g. Flowserve ® GESTRA OR 52-5, OR 52-6, although other suitable meters can be used instead) bypassing a 2" non-return valve of the steam manifold 124. This may create a slight back pressure within the system.
- the steam condensate sample diverted to the turbidity meter 120 passes through a sight glass in the turbidity meter 120 so that it's turbidity can be measured.
- the steam condensate sample then returns to the 2" steam manifold 124 and is returned to the feed water tank
- the heat exchange system 100 further comprises a pressure gauge 130 located downstream of the 2" steam manifold 124 providing a visual indication of the pressure within the feed return line 106.
- the pressure in the feed return line 106 should not exceed 25 psi (ca. 1.7 bar) and the turbidity reading should not be higher than 5 ppm (parts per million).
- the pressure switch 118 in the system is fully adjustable and can be calibrated on location using the pressure reading provided by the pressure gauge 130.
- the pressure switch 118 should be set at about 10 psi (ca. 0.7 bar) higher than the normal steam condensate pressure reading at the pressure gauge 130.
- the turbidity meter 120 may further be set to provide an alarm at 15 ppm of oil in the steam condensate.
- the alarm 122 may be a visual and/or audible alarm.
- an actuator device 116 such as a solenoid valve (e.g. 240V 3/2 solenoid valve), de-energises venting a control pressure line to the slam shut diverter valve 110 to atmosphere pressure.

- the condensate may simply be diverted overboard into the sea.
- the audible and visual alarm 122 will sound and display. This alarm 122 is preferably mounted on top of the turbidity meter enclosure.
- the solenoid valve 116 will lose it's voltage supply (de-energize) and divert the air supply to the slam shut diverter valve 110 to atmosphere pressure, causing the slam shut valve 110 to actuate and divert the condensate coming from the heat exchanger 101 out of the closed loop fluid path (i.e. overboard into the sea) via the 2" bypass line 111.
- the audible and visual alarm 122 mounted on the turbidity meter enclosure will activate and provide a sound and display.
- the filter device 112 may be used in duplex mode so that the filter device 112 (i.e. strainer assembly) can be bypassed and cleaned without affecting the process.
- an additional steam trap 126 may be used in (via a 1 ⁇ 2" steam trap isolation valve) from the 1" bypass supply line 107 and in parallel to the condenser device 114 to knock out any condensed steam on cooling, and send the condensate to the feed water tank 104 via the 2" steam manifold 124.
- An air supply 123 from a Well Test ESD system (Emergency Shutdown) or Well Test Separator provides a feed to the slam shut diverter valve 110 via a pressure regulator 128 (e.g. a pressure regulating valve), the turbidity meter 120 and the pressure switch 118.
- a pressure regulator 128 e.g. a pressure regulating valve
- the slam shut valve 110 closes and diverts all condensate out of the closed loop fluid path (i.e. overboard into the sea) by diverting the condensate along 2" bypass line 111, the outer end of which projects overboard.

- PSV heat exchanger pressure support ventilation
- a 4-20 mA signal may be made available to the operator allowing connection to the process monitoring system. This provides instant information of any potentially dangerous situation, e.g. high turbidity condition.
