The device is a set of underwater control equipment which can be independently designed, debugged and installed, serialized and standardized, is used for completing the opening and closing of a valve on an underwater production facility and feeding parameters and seabed information on the underwater production facility back to a ground main control station in real time. The underwater control module comprises a hoisting locking mechanism, an underwater electronic module, a hydraulic system, a pressure compensator, an upper butt joint disc, a lower butt joint disc and the like.
The emergency recovery of the underwater control module is carried out along with the daily production of the whole oil field, and the SCM installation and recovery technology is important because the SCM has high failure rate, and the failure rate of the SCM reaches 30.64 percent of the whole underwater production system in various devices in the underwater production system. It can be seen that the maintenance and replacement of the SCM is particularly important, which is also a major reason for underwater docking of SCMs.
The underwater control module emergency recovery tool is mechanical equipment for executing SCM releasing and recovering tasks. According to the factors of the installation depth of the underwater production facility, sea conditions and the like, the installation and recovery of the downward control module must be provided with corresponding installation tools, wherein the related key technologies comprise a downward recovery technology, an underwater buffering technology, a butt joint locking technology and the like.
