Description

Handle the method and apparatus of the interior logistics of well of offshore oilfield
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of processing and originate from the method and apparatus of logistics in the well of offshore oilfield.The invention still further relates to a kind of by the Fischer-Tropsch synthetic method with natural gas, particularly association conversion of natural gas be the method for synthetic crude and particularly relate to a kind of floating platform at sea, platform or other device on the method for carrying out.The invention still further relates to a kind of device of implementing this method, this device is installed on the easily changeable balladeur train and particularly is installed on the FPSO floating platform (FPSO=floating production, storage and emptying).
Background of invention
Gather former oil require from offshore oilfield logistics in the well is separated into water, oil and gas.The natural gas that accompanies with the crude oil of being gathered in the logistics in well (being commonly referred to the association natural gas) must be accepted the processing of certain mode after separating.Usually, such processing comprises this gas of burning or again this gas is injected the oil field.But, also can be natural gas transport ashore so that further process.Burning has become a kind of unacceptable gas processing method, because this burning is to waste the hydrocarbon source of reducing gradually and also be air pollution source.The oil field mode of reinjecting that increases cost of crude oil production usually can become unacceptable, and this is because cost of production and the cause that adverse effect may be arranged the crude oil that originates from the oil field.The third method of dealing with problems (that is, as by pipeline natural gas transport to continental rise factory so that further process) will be high cost and unpractiaca method under the situation in some long-range oil field.
By the Fischer-Tropsch synthetic method is conversion of natural gas synthesis gas (CO+H 2) and be the method itself that synthesis gas is converted into synthetic crude known, this method has been disclosed in the comprehensive document, for example referring to G.A. Mil Si " synthesis gas being converted into the situation and the future development of liquid fuel ", fuel rolls up 73 (8), 1243-79 page or leaf (1994).In the later stage eighties, for the natural gas that is transported to from offshore oilfield is on the bank handled (especially in South Africa and Malaysia), people have produced interest to said method again.But to the greatest extent known to the inventor, also do not occur any based on the Fischer-Tropsch synthetic technology and be based upon marine so far as the device on platform, jack-up unit, the FPSO device (FPSO=floating production, storage and emptying) that comprises especially floating oil production platform and oil transportation oil tanker, FSU device (FSU=floating storage device), the semisubmersible platform etc.
Recently, people have known makes oil transportation oil tanker itself be connected with loading buoy under water, and floating platform is lived in the grappling simultaneously of this loading buoy.Loading buoy has under water like this formed the oil-collecting point of a control umbilical that is used for one or more flexible risers and for example draws from the seabed oil extraction system.This floating drum is suitable for promoting and being fixed on the relevant floating platform, is transported to for example oil product induction system of the charge of oil jar on floating platform so that set up one from undersea system.
With this technology is starting point, has occurred the various modified floating platforms that can so change simply at work in recent years:
A) itself be connected to oil transportation oil tanker on the loading buoy under water,
B) be fixedly attached on the loading buoy under water and the oil storage floating platform that has the Unloading Device that is used for emptying at its afterbody simultaneously,
C) the oil recovery floating platform that links to each other with the loading buoy under water that comprises whirligig.
Introduced this floating platform of the cooperation between loading buoy under water based on the hull bottom grappling in NO940352, this loading buoy is made of a whirligig with several pipelines.Near its front end, this floating platform has one and is used to receive receiving the cabin under water and receiving the service well that extends between cabin and the floating platform deck of sub-surface buoy.This sub-surface buoy has external buoyancy parts and a central module, these external buoyancy parts are suitable for entering and releasably being fixed on the floating platform of opening downwards and receive the cabin under water, and this central module is rotatably installed on the external component and is anchored on the seabed and with at least one pipeline road that extends to described floating drum from each producing well always and links to each other.
When this class floating drum was fixed in the reception cabin of floating platform, the external buoyancy parts of floating platform and this floating drum are stable to link to each other and can rotate around the central module of this floating drum, and this central module is anchored on the seabed by suitable anchoring device.So floating drum itself has constituted a rotary body or rotating turret.Under the effect of wind, wave and current, this floating platform is being driven around this rotary body and is being rotated.
This spar structures has many tangible advantages.Because the diameter of this floating drum central module is little, in light weight, thus just make this rotary body promptly the external buoyancy parts of this floating drum correspondingly have minor diameter, therefore little dynamic moment of inertia and rotational resistance are just arranged.Between floating platform and floating drum be connected or uncoupling can be undertaken by the mode of simple and fast, even under the bigger bad weather situation of wave, also be like this.In addition, this floating drum can still be connected with this floating platform under nearly all weather condition.If it is extremely abominable that weather becomes, then can remove this connection fast.
In being suitable for the floating platform that uses with above-mentioned spar structures, reception cabin of Bu Zhiing and well are appropriately positioned as described above in the fore portion of this floating platform as described above.This can rationally and simply rebuild existing floating platform so as with as adapt as this floating drum charge of oil system of charge of oil oil tanker.In addition, receive the cabin under water and the combination of the well that between this reception cabin and floating platform deck, extends can access operation the time high safety and pollute the little system of spillage risk.
As for description more specifically to the floating platform of the spar structures of the above-mentioned type and the above-mentioned type, can be referring to International Patent Application PCT/NO92/00054, PCT/NO92/00055 and PCT/NO92/00056.
In NO922043, described and advantageously reequiped floating drum charge of oil system so that on the oil recovery floating platform, gather the embodiment of offshore oil and gas.Among the described therein embodiment, this system comprises a whirligig, and this whirligig is provided with to such an extent that be convenient to be reduced to shaft bottom end operating position or from then on rises on the operating position and it is linking to each other with pipe-line system on the floating platform on the operating position.This whirligig comprise inside and outside can counterrotating rotary part.Be provided with in the upper end of this floating drum one all carry linkage that pipe end all is attached thereto or joint and this linkage to be suitable for respectively being connected and uncoupling with corresponding linkage in this whirligig bottom.
In a preferred embodiment of this system, this whirligig is placed on the lifting gear, and lifting gear is slidably mounted on the track-type facilities, and described track-type facilities extends between aboveground end and downhole end.This whirligig is on its joint or the tram in the linkage connection cabin that can be placed on downhole end simply.As the parts of most critical, this rotation and linkage can keep in repair and change at an easy rate.Can utilize and realize in single stepping at the self-closing valve on these linkage both sides and being connected and uncoupling of the carrier pipe of this floating drum.This whirligig can be easily by the flexible pipe absorption connection and vertical the moving in the uncoupling process, and this flexible pipe is fixed with the well of this whirligig with becoming an angle of 90 degrees.
The major advantage of this system provides the system of Lin Jixiao, and this is because used the special floating drum of a rotary body of formation own.This makes weight saving and device volume reduce, thereby has reduced cost significantly.
Such system will need to reconstruct slightly the oil transportation oil tanker, so that oil is transported on the oil recovery floating platform, the oil tanker of described reconstruction is applicable to above-mentioned floating drum charge of oil system.Except from marginal oil field recovers the oil continuously, with the test of also can periodically working and recover the oil of such oil recovery floating platform.In summer months, this floating platform can the oil transportation oil tanker may have more than needed during in be used for recovering the oil as test.
Since the hand chamber, cabin of this floating platform and its engine room in the fore portion of this floating platform and this floating platform receive the cabin above service well be positioned at back, hand chamber, cabin just, so service well will be positioned at the leeward side of hand chamber, cabin.Under the situation of this layout,, also obtained from this hand chamber, cabin rear backward until the broad deck area in this quarter-deck district except the crewman in this vertical shaft district work is provided the protection.When this floating platform is used as the oil recovery floating platform, this zone will can be used in essential treating apparatus and control well device.
Because floating platform can move about between different movable oil fields, so package unit preferably is divided into portable small-sized parts.
Aforesaid floating platform will be suitable as the mother ship carrier of association conversion of natural gas for the device of for example synthetic crude and/or wax very much.In addition, such arrangement will produce the advantage of being brought by this whirligig system, and this whirligig system is suitable for being used with the operation of water filling, water purifying plant, well water filling etc., and this allows high flexible ground to use floating platform.This system also is applicable to the waters with drift about ice and iceberg, because when needs, it is uncoupling and do not destroy the danger of sub-surface buoy fast.
As top the introduction, the inventor does not know any offshore installation based on the Fischer-Tropsch synthetic technology.But, by the agency of be used to be installed on floating platform, offshore platform and other offshore installation, be the assembly type conversion of natural gas device or the system of synthetic crude with association natural gas or long-range conversion of natural gas, see that in SECONS 1994 (North Sea strategy with economic)-London, the Dr. on the 1994.11.28-29 wears dimension D.J. An Teer and Dr. pauses willing. plucked instrument pause " by with marine conversion of natural gas be the mode of crude oil catch reduce cost and value-added opportunity ".
In the middle of above-mentioned publication, introduced assembly type conversion of natural gas device or system, it can be connected in the new or existing offshore oil production system.It is synthetic crude, wax or methyl alcohol that this assembly type device is used for conversion of natural gas.The disclosure thing is especially at the field devices of the association natural gas that will be used to produce 5-50 MMCF/D (0.14-1.42 hundred cubic meters per day).In this article, determined two class devices:
(a) be designed for the device of before oil field that natural gas is reinjected, from natural gas, removing useful component,
(b) be designed for by conversion of natural gas is processed the device of this natural gas fully for the mode of easy to handle more and valuable product, thereby avoid burning, the oil field or transport natural gas of reinjecting.
In these two kinds of devices, this method comprises two main steps: (1) the synthesis gas of conversion of natural gas for being made of carbon monoxide, hydrogen and carbon dioxide, (2) are converted into synthetic crude to synthesis gas in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis device (FT reactor) in the partial oxidation device.It is said, this method be a kind of allow when operation, be converted into the flexible way that comprises other finished product from light-duty condensate to microwax.
Can arrange two devices that step is used of this method by stowage of sledge independently or cabin group's mode.It is believed that described device is installed on the basis in cabin can guarantee flexibility, this especially is reflected in the device productivity that can improve or reduce this device productivity as required or turn round when producing also liquid storage, the air-flow of different products such as synthetic crude, wax and methyl alcohol.
In order in the first step of this method, from natural gas, to make synthesis gas, in the disclosed article of people such as An Teer, describe several method in detail, wherein importantly partial oxidation, steam reformation, self-heating catalytic reforming and mixing reforming.Consider preferred method for partical oxidation from flexibility, device size, productivity ratio, logicality and economy aspect that efficient, cost, the product of process are formed.
In order to produce synthetic crude and/or wax in second step of this method is that FT is synthetic, can use many dissimilar reactors, promptly the MTFB reactor-it is multitube fixed bed reactors (MTEB=" multitube fixed bed "), fluidized-bed reactor, ring-like bed bioreactor, mortar reactor and Lin De isothermal reactor.In these reactors, the preferred MTFB reactor of people such as An Teer, this is because facts have proved that this reactor cost is low and strong because of operating flexibility in very wide temperature range.This piece publication is claimed: although studied the mortar reactor widely, it also be not proved to be industrial be effective.
The FT reactor uses iron, cobalt or ruthenium catalyst.All these catalyst types allegedly can both be made its composition and comprise from light-duty condensate to heavy paraffin hydrocarbon oil or the product of microwax or paraffins.
So, although there are a lot of bases to show, is the association conversion of natural gas that valuable and more tractable product is reasonable economically and the association natural gas processing mode little to ambient influnence, but still needs a kind of improvement project to realize safer and more favourable operation.
Tying down of the shortcoming that the MT reconnaissance FB reactor of being thought to be used for the preferred reactor of FT synthetic method by people such as An Teer is not subjected at all is big because of its weight, expense is high and design complexity and operating temperature range are narrow.In order to make the pressure drop of passing MTFB reactor catalyst bed in acceptable degree, must use oarse-grained catalyzer, this has brought the restriction of diffusion aspect.So and owing to be difficult to control the temperature of reactor, the conversion per pass of synthesis gas is lower than the conversion ratio that meets the requirements.In addition, under such reactor situation, catalyzer displacement complexity and this reactor are unsuitable for very active catalyzer.

Mortar bubble-column reactor (SBCR)
At the three-phase system reactor that is used for continental rise Fischer-Tropsch synthesizer, what need carry is mechanical agitation type mortar reactor and ring-shaped sand slurry bubble-column reactor.These two kinds of reactors have all utilized the catalyst particles that is dispersed in the liquid.Therefore, under most of occasions, this liquid must separate with mortar so that remove liquid form product or in order to carry out catalyst regeneration.
The operation of mortar bubble-column reactor is very simple, and this is because saved mechanical driving member.Therefore, because low diffusional resistance and effectively heat transmission, these reactors are very attractive to a lot of commercial runs.But Separation of Solid and Liquid is normally outside reactor and finish in the filtration of complexity and settler.This catalyzer mortar will be recovered in the reactor, will use mortar pump sometimes.Therefore, in the continued operation of mortar bubble-column reactor, may run into serious problem.
Discussed the problem that catalyst/wax is separated in Fischer-Tropsch mortar reactor assembly by the report that USDOE delivers recently.This report draws to draw a conclusion: when the internal ramp in being immersed in the reactor mortar was used for some laboratory scale device or medium-sized experimental facilities, this strainer was worked unsuccessful because of operating difficulties.Its part wall is used for medium-sized experimental facilities as the reactor of strainer, but it can not be used for industrial reactor.The danger that internal ramp is subject to stop up, this may cause too early termination work, does not therefore allow to be used for industrial equipment.
This report is also claimed: used the internal ramp in the reactor mortar in research approach.But, though when beginning because of utilizing pressure reduction may make filtrate flows, but strainer just be plugged at once, thereby the conclusion that draws is: continued operation is to realize, thereby, need outside reactor, finish solid/liquid separation for plant-scale running.
Yet, by that the applicant finished, that especially in International Patent Application PCT/NO94/00023, introduced, the recent research of mortar bubble-column reactor is shown: with the front instruction on the contrary, a kind of synthetic continuous reaction apparatus of Fischer-Tropsch that is used for can be provided, wherein not need the sufficiently high filtrate flow velocity that carries out solid/liquid separation in the filter externally and can obtain to be applicable to industrial operation.
The mortar bubble-column reactor that is used for the synthetic continuous reaction system of Fischer-Tropsch is applicable to device of the present invention very much, this reactor is so a kind of reactor, be liquid form product in reactor with contain the mortar that segments the catalyzer in liquid medium and be separated, said reactor comprises: one constituted one be arranged to be suitable for holding mortar mutually with at the mortar container of the reaction zone of the gas on top mutually; Mortar device is mutually injected with this synthesis gas in bottom at this container; Layout is used for fillter section that liquid form product and mortar are separated, this fillter section comprises a shell and the filtration members to small part around this container, filtration members and said shell have constituted a filtering area with filtrate product outlet, and described filtration members is arranged to contact with mortar in the mortar district; At filtering area with set up the device of fluid flow relation between in use by the reaction zone part that is occupied at the gas of mortar above mutually; The device of the even pressure reduction of filtration members is passed in formation.
Have been found that the filtering area and the circulation between the reaction zone that obtain by the above-mentioned design to reactor have prevented to produce solid matter on filtration members.Its mechanism is as follows: the turbulent motion of mortar is upward through fluctuation or the instability that mortar causes the pressure on filtration members because of bubble.Circulation between reaction zone and the filtering area has promoted or has strengthened the fluctuation or the instability of described pressure.Therefore, a kind of like this system is fairly simple and effective.Generally being considered to problematic especially separating step is to implement under the situation of less complex.Under suitable operating condition, filtration members is carried out self cleaning.
Compare with the MTFB reactor, the major advantage of using such SBCR reactor to obtain is especially as follows:
-can improve the thermal control that heat release FT is reacted by using with the incorporate effective heat interchanger of reactor.Improving above-mentioned thermal control makes catalyzer and reactor that high productivity ratio all be arranged.
-this reactor is compact and simple, in the reactor parts seldom, its installation cost is than the low 50-70% of installation cost of fixed bed reactors (MTFB reactor).
-finishing catalyzer separates with the inside of FT product, does not therefore need external discrete catalyzer device.
-because catalyzer is suspended in the mortar in reactor, so can replace catalyzer in operation continuously.
-because the mortar of band catalyst particles is housed in this reactor, so it is suitable for adopting very active catalyzer very much.
Still it is important that this SBCR reactor is in the very high flexibility that demonstrates aspect operating temperature, product composition, productivity ratio and the operational circumstances.
In the SBCR reactor, gas line speed, catalyst concn and temperature are variable and can bring any big operational issue.Therefore, output and conversion per pass are variable.But in the MTFB reactor, the gas line speed that needs to keep very high is to obtain the favourable interchange of heat between stationary catalyst bed and reactor wall.Therefore, conversion ratio and output can not have any cataclysm.
In the SBCR reactor, can in very wide scope, change product composition (wax/liquor ratio) by changing temperature of reactor.And in the MTFB reactor, just can not do like this, because reaction rate (for given catalyzer) is determined by heat balance.Therefore, mainly be that this MTFB reactor can only be used in the lower temperature range promptly producing the scope of high wax/liquor ratio as 180-220 ℃.In fact, even for the SBCR reactor, the reaction rate that unit effecting reaction body amasss is also definite by heat balance, but in this case, can keep stable heat to generate by changing catalyst concn simultaneously.
Under the situation of unexpected operation as stopping fully under the situation of the synthesis gas device provisioning natural gas of this device, the SBCR reactor can be more durable than MTFB reactor.For the SBCR reactor, this will can not produce big problem, because the liquid phase in the SBCR reactor has very high thermal capacitance, thereby will suppress variations in temperature and other possible operating trouble effectively.But, must damage catalyzer with inert gas purge MTFB reactor in order to avoid owing to temperature is too high.When restarting this device, the catalyzer in the SBCR reactor will suspend when beginning to add synthesis gas simply again, and the MTFB reactor will need more complicated start-up routine, to avoid uncontrollable intensification.
