Description

Underground water-sealed cave depot system and underground water-sealed cave depot oil storage method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of underground water-sealed cave depots, in particular to underground water-sealed cave depots with pressure regulating air chambers, and further relates to a underground water-sealed cave depot oil storage method.
Background
In 1939, the sweden Jansson proposed the idea of storing oil directly in unlined caverns below the ground water level and applied for the invention patent at the end of the 40 th 20 th century, the sweden built th underground unlined oil depot with fluorite pits, which was th successful use of underground cavern mode to store heavy fuel oil, around the 60 th 20 th century, sweden built th underground unlined oil depot based on fixed water cushion, and thereafter underground water sealed cavern oil reservoirs (i.e., underground water sealed cavern reservoirs) began to be built around the world to gain universal application.
Referring to fig. 1, the principle of the underground water-sealed rock cavern oil storage technology widely applied to at present is very simple, and comprises that in depth underground rock below a stable underground water level line, caverns with constant volume are excavated manually, and oil is stored in the caverns by utilizing the water sealing effect of stable underground water, the water sealing means that hydrostatic pressure of underground water is utilized to realize hydraulic sealing on the excavated caverns, and the basic principle is that because the hydrostatic pressure of underground water in rock body cracks below the stable underground water level is greater than the oil storage hydrostatic pressure in the caverns, oil is always sealed in closed cavern spaces formed by rock walls and crack water, so that the oil cannot leak out, meanwhile, because of different specific gravity of oil and water, the oil and the water cannot be mixed, the oil is placed in a water surrounding mode by utilizing the principle that the water is heavier than the oil, and therefore, the ideal state can ensure that only water seeps into the caverns but cannot leak out of the caverns, and the oil is always located above the rock walls along the caverns to form a water cushion (cushion) in the water storage chamber, thereby achieving the purpose.
In addition, according to the variation of the water level in the cavern (i.e. the water level at the interface of the water cushion, or the water level at the interface of the oil and water), the commonly used oil storage methods include a fixed water level method and a variable water level method, which are respectively shown in fig. 2 and 3. It can be seen from the figure that the fixed water level method and the variable water level method have no great difference in water seal principle, but the former mainly controls the water level, and the latter mainly controls the oil level, but the two methods have essential difference in oil storage mode.
The storage principle of the fixed water level method is similar to that of an underground vault oil storage tank, a gas phase space of percent needs to be reserved during storage from the aspect of oil product storage process control, namely the filling coefficient of a cavern is not smaller than 0.95, and an operation pressure of percent is kept, besides the height of a water cushion layer, the expansion amount (10 degrees according to the maximum temperature difference) of crude oil and the residual oil inlet amount in a pipeline 10-15 minutes after an oil inlet valve is cut off in an alarm manner when the storage liquid level in the cavern reaches a specified value, the fixed water level method can cause two technical problems that is , evaporated oil and gas possibly escape upwards along cracks of surrounding rocks at the top of the cavern in a long-term storage process, so that a safety hazard is generated, theoretically, a water sealing barrier can also ensure that gas leakage cannot be avoided even if underground water is arranged above the cavern, however, all cracks cannot be ensured to be filled with water, the oil and gas leakage often occurs in practical engineering, the situation that the oil and gas leakage often occurs frequently occurs, in order to ensure that the oil leakage, people can not escape, the leakage is prevented, the water leakage of the underground water leakage is still almost completely covered by a water leakage of a small water leakage rate of a small top surface of a volatile water storage chamber, and the underground water leakage of a small water leakage is increased by a small pressure of a small enough (.018), which is usually generated by a water leakage rate) and is increased by a very small amount of a water leakage rate of a water leakage.
The water level changing method realizes the process control of oil storage through water level adjustment according to the height of an oil-water interface, the oil level is high, namely the top of a cavern, so underground water pointing to the cavern can realize water sealing of the cavern, the storage principle of the water level changing method is similar to that of an above-ground floating roof oil storage tank, the oil level changing method is an storage system with constant pressure and is suitable for storing volatile oil such as gasoline and the like, and as the oil storage system is almost free of gas phase space or extremely small gas phase space, the same amount of oil inlet and outlet or oil inlet is adopted in the oil receiving and sending process, the oil loss is greatly reduced, the explosion risk is low, the water seepage amount of the cavern is also remarkably reduced by a pressure storage mode, the storage pressure is determined by the height of a water head communicated with the outer side and the density difference of oil and water, however, the water level changing method has the biggest defect that water needs to be frequently and is needed to be mainly supplemented or drained into the cavern, particularly, the drainage and water supplement amount is larger during the oil receiving and sending operation cost is higher, so that the operation cost of drainage.
The water level changing method is applied to early engineering more frequently, and because large-scale active water replenishing and pumping needs to be frequently implemented, equipment is frequently started, the process control requirement is higher, and the operation cost is high, the engineering application is less at present. Compared with the water level changing method, the fixed water level method has the advantages of simpler process flow, more convenient control, higher reliability and lower operation cost, so the fixed water level method is the main form adopted by the engineering application at home and abroad at present, for example, the fixed water level method is adopted in most of crude oil cavern stores built and proposed in China at present.
In the prior art, Chinese patent CN104763449B discloses a design methods of an underground water seal cave depot water curtain system, which comprises the steps of designing a water curtain tunnel after geological detail investigation, main cave design and traffic tunnel design, designing horizontal water curtain holes and vertical water curtain holes, carrying out construction investigation on the development condition of a fault fracture zone, carrying out pretreatment scheme design on weak rock masses at the main cave part after the water curtain tunnel is excavated and formed, carrying out pressurized water injection test on all the water curtain holes of a certain water curtain tunnel after all the water curtain holes of the tunnel are constructed, carrying out blocking scheme design on a found seepage channel, pre-injecting the weak rock masses at the main cave part through the water curtain tunnel to be beneficial to ensuring construction progress and reducing construction risks, blocking the seepage channel by grouting, preventing or reducing underground water during excavation of the main cave and ensuring a water seal environment at the periphery of the main cave, however, methods for effectively avoiding oil gas seepage and solving the problem of large water quantity are not provided in the prior art including the technical scheme of the Chinese patent.

The underground water-sealed cavern oil storage method according to the second aspect uses the underground water-sealed cavern system provided with the pressure-regulating air chamber of the aspect, and includes the step of regulating seepage of underground water in the surrounding rock of the oil-storing cavern:
s1: under the state of oil storage balance, the pressure regulating air chamber and the air pressure P in the connecting channel01atm water cushionThe interface is at equilibrium water level; presetting the oil level to-be-raised height hmax
S2: when underground water in the surrounding rock of the oil storage cavern seeps into the oil storage cavern, the rising height of the water cushion interface is hwThen, the oil product enters the pressure regulating air chamber along the connecting channel, so that the oil level rising height is h; at this time, the air pressure P is adjusted0In accordance with the following formula: 1atm < P0<P2The speed h is gradually increased; in the formula, P2The hydrostatic pressure in the top surrounding rock fracture of the oil storage cavern is obtained;
s3: when h reaches hmaxWhen the water pumping subsystem is started, the water is drained so that the water cushion layer interface gradually descends to a balance water level, h is gradually reduced to 0, and P is0Down to 1 atm.
In addition, the following describes in detail the principle of the implementation of the oil storage method of the underground water-sealed cavern:
the oil product is stored in a closed oil storage chamber, and the fissure water in the rock mass can flow into the chamber along the fissure directed to the chamber, and the oil storage chamber is similar to closed container with water seepage fissure, referring to fig. 4 and 5, after the oil delivery is completed in the oil storage chamber, the oil storage equilibrium state is reached, the oil surface level is at the oil product free surface (i.e. against the top of the chamber) of the designed tank holding quantity, at this time, no gas phase space or only very small gas phase space (due to the fact that the rock surface has fixed roughness) exists between the top of the chamber and the oil product free surface2The following relations are provided:
P2=γwater·H0
wherein, P2Also represents the groundwater static pressure H borne by the top elevation surface of the oil storage cavern0And the water head height of the top elevation surface of the oil storage cavern is represented, and specifically, the vertical distance from the lowest point of the designed stable underground water line to the top elevation surface of the oil storage cavern is represented. Under the oil storage balance state, the oil surface (oil product free surface) can be regarded as the top elevation surface of the oil storage cavern.
Accordingly, the oil storage chamberHydrostatic pressure P in the cracks of the surrounding rock at the water-cushion interface (i.e. oil-water interface; at equilibrium water level when oil storage is in equilibrium state)1The following relations are provided:
P1=Pwater,max=γwater·H
wherein, P1Substantially the maximum hydrostatic pressure P to which the wall of the oil storage cavern is subjectedwater,max,γwaterAnd H represents the water gravity, and the water head height of the water cushion interface of the oil storage cavern is specifically the vertical distance from the lowest point of the designed stable underground water line to the water cushion interface of the oil storage cavern.
Maintaining the air pressure P in the pressure-regulating air chamber and the connecting channel in the oil storage balance state01atm, the oil level elevation (or called as the head height) h is 0, so the oil static pressure P born by the top elevation surface of the oil storage chamber310. At the moment, the oil product static pressure P of the water cushion layer interface of the oil storage chamber3The following relations are provided:
P3=Poil,max=γoil·Hc
wherein, P3Substantially the maximum hydrostatic pressure P to which the walls of the oil storage cavern are subjectedoil,max,γoilIndicates oil Severness, HcThe height of the oil head of the water cushion interface of the oil storage cavern is represented, and specifically, the vertical distance from the top elevation surface of the oil storage cavern to the water cushion interface of the oil storage cavern is the vertical distance from the oil surface (oil free surface) to the balance water level in the oil storage balance state.
Because of gammawater>γoilAnd H > HcSo that P iswater,max>Poil,maxI.e. P1>P3(ii) a In the same way, the hydrostatic pressure P borne by each point of the wall of the oil storage cavernwaterWith the static pressure P of the oil to which it is subjectedoilAll conform to the following formula:
Pwater>Poil
therefore, the method for storing the oil in the underground water-sealed cavern ensures that the oil cannot leak to the outside of the oil-storing cavern, and the underground water plays a role in hydraulic sealing of the oil-storing cavern.
step by step under normal oil storage condition, P2>P31Therefore, the underground water in the surrounding rock of the oil storage cavern can continuously seep into the cavern along the fracture; because oil and water are immiscible, groundwater flows to a lower water cushion layer along the wall of the oil storage cavern, the head pressure of the free surface of the water cushion layer is constant to 0, but with the continuous increase of water inflow, the interface of the water cushion layer (namely an oil-water interface) gradually has the tendency that the water level rises upwards, theoretically, if groundwater entering the oil storage cavern is not discharged, oil finally overcomes the hydrostatic pressure in cracks due to the continuous increase of the rising pressure and seeps out of the cavern upwards. Wherein the change of the lifting pressure depends on the water inflow of the groundwater entering the oil storage cavern. For example, groundwater seeps into the oil storage cavern and causes the water cushion interface to rise to a height h (or called the elevated water level height)wAt the same time, the whole oil should be raised to the same height to form a new oil static pressure P32The following relation is provided:
P32=γoil·hw
wherein, P32The pressure is also the lifting pressure, because of the existence of the top of the oil storage cavern, oil can seep into the top surrounding rock crack of the oil storage cavern and/or the direction of the connecting channel and the pressure regulating air chamber, the lifting pressure is the pressure of the top surface of the oil acting on the top of the oil storage cavern, and the oil is stored under the pressure.
At this time, if P acts on the top of the oil storage chamber32>P2The oil product seeps upwards to seep into the top surrounding rock crack of the oil storage cavern; this bleed height corresponds to the formula:
hoil=(P32-P2)/γoil
at this moment, the oil also seeps towards the connecting channel (well hole) and the pressure regulating air chamber, in other words, the oil enters the pressure regulating air chamber along the connecting channel, so that the oil level rising height accords with the following formula:
hoil-air=(P32-P0)/γoil
obviously, P0<P2Thus, hoil-air>hoilSo that when hoil-airUp to hmaxWhen the water storage cavity is filled with the underground water, the water cushion layer interface is gradually lowered to the balance water level. In addition, when the air pressure P is adjusted0The amount of oil entering the pressure regulating air chamber can be controlled, and the oil amount can be controlled according to hwIndirectly controlling P32Thereby adjusting the oil storage pressure at the top of the oil storage chamber.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that, in general, the cross-sectional area of the connecting channel (borehole) connecting the oil storage cavern and the pressure regulating gas chamber is much larger than the sum of the cross-sectional areas of all the cracks of the surrounding rock on the top of the oil storage cavern, so that most of the oil flows into the pressure regulating gas chamber with lower pressure first, and only a little oil seeps into the cracks.
