Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multiphase fluid supply device for a pumping assembly located downstream of the device.
  • the invention is particularly suitable for the distribution of multiphase fluids comprising a liquid phase and a gas phase with a given GLR value.
  • the GLR ratio is defined in the remainder of the text as being the ratio of the gas phase of a multiphase fluid relative to the liquid phase.
  • This method of routing without separation of the effluents nevertheless requires the use of pumps capable of communicating to the effluents a pressure value sufficient to ensure their transfer over a certain distance.
  • pumps are suitable for transferring effluents with a GLR value within a defined range.
  • a device for regulating effluent fluctuations positioned upstream of the pump which makes it possible to deliver an effluent to the latter whose GLR value is compatible with the operating characteristics of the pump.
  • FR-A-2,642,539 (or WO 90/08585) describes a device which makes it possible to dampen and regulate the brutal variations of liquid and gas arriving in the device, in particular, when gas plugs come or liquid, that is to say a large quantity of fluid composed solely of the gaseous phase or the liquid phase and supplying the pump positioned after, an effluent having a given GLR value.
  • FR-A-2685791 Also known from the application by FR-A-2685791 is a method which makes it possible to pre-dimension a device of the type described in French patent FR 2,642,539 so as to have at any time a quantity of liquid sufficient to evacuate a significant amount of gas and maintain an optimal GLR value based on the characteristics of the multiphase pump located downstream.
  • the present invention relates to a device for supplying a pumping assembly with a multiphase fluid composed of at least one liquid phase and a gaseous phase, said assembly comprising at least two pumps, said device comprising a tank for separating said phases provided with '' at least one inlet opening of said multiphase fluid and of means for sampling its content, the device comprising at least two sampling tubes extending in said reservoir so as to cross the interface between said phases in normal operation, each of said sampling tubes comprising at least one outlet opening and sampling orifices distributed over at least part of its length in order to obtain outflow streams each having a GLR value.
  • It is characterized in that it comprises means for distributing said effluents putting each of the outlets of said sampling tubes in communication with at least one of the pumps of the pumping assembly, said distribution means distributing said sub-effluents as a function of their GLR value and / or a parameter characteristic of said souseffluents and / or a parameter characteristic of said pumping assembly.
  • the device may include means for measuring parameters characteristic of the fluid and means for processing and generating signals, delivering control signals to the distribution means as a function of the measured values of the parameters.
  • the device may include measuring means comprising at least one flow meter making it possible to obtain the flow of fluid at the outlet of the sampling tubes.
  • the measurement means may include at least one device for measuring the GLR value of the effluent or sub-effluent at the outlet of the sampling means.
  • the distribution means are, for example, controlled remotely.
  • the measuring means include, for example, a device for detecting failures of at least one of the pumps.
  • the two withdrawal means produce, for example, two sub-effluents having different GLR values
  • the pumping assembly can comprise at least two multi-phase pumps, each of the pumps having its own pumping characteristics and each being adapted to operate in function of one of said GLR values of one of said sub-effluents.
  • Each sampling tube can have at least one common outlet for the liquid phase and the gas phase.
  • One of the advantages of the device is to supply multi-phase fluid having a controlled GLR value to a pumping assembly comprising several multi-phase pumps each having their own operating characteristic.
  • Another advantage offered by the device consists in adapting the number of pumps used to the actual flow rate of the multiphase fluid coming from a source of effluents.
  • the device described below makes it possible to divide a multiphase fluid, such as an oil effluent, composed of a gas phase and a liquid phase into several multiphase flows whose GLR value is controlled, hereinafter referred to as secondary flows. , and to direct these flows secondary to at least one of the multiphase pumps of a pumping assembly.
  • a multiphase fluid such as an oil effluent
  • secondary flows whose GLR value is controlled
  • the multiphase fluid is conveyed from a source of effluents S in a device, comprising a reservoir 2 equipped with several sampling tubes, via a pipe 1 or inlet pipe.
  • the device is equipped, for example in FIG. 1, with three sampling tubes TC1, TC2, TC3.
  • These sampling tubes TC1, TC2, TC3 are respectively provided with sampling holes O1, O2, O3 which are distributed by zone over at least part of the length of each of the tubes.
  • the distribution of these orifices that is to say their distribution and their geometric characteristics, is chosen so as to obtain a GLR value defined in advance at the outlet of the tube.
  • Each sampling tube TC1, TC2, TC3 is connected to an evacuation tube, respectively C1, C2, C3, of the effluent to at least one pump P1, P2, P3 of a pumping assembly.
  • baffles 13, 14 At the inlet of the reservoir, avoiding too great a disturbance in the level of the liquid-gas interface I during a too sudden arrival of fluid in the reservoir 2
  • baffles 13, 14 also offers the advantage of obtaining a substantially constant interface level I throughout the tank.
  • sampling ports can be distributed in different ways. They can thus be distributed, following the manner described in French patent FR 2,642,539.
  • the invention thus makes it possible to distribute an effluent divided into several sub-effluents of GLR values adapted to several pumps operating in parallel and each having their own pumping characteristic, by associating a sampling tube with a pump as a function of the GLR values of the effluent at the outlet of the tube and the GLR value of the pump operating.
  • One of the possible applications of the device according to the invention is to choose the number of pumps necessary for the transfer of the fluid arriving in the tank, as a function of the actual flow rate of the source of effluent. Indeed, the production of effluent during the life of a well varying, it is advantageous to adapt the number of pumps used to transfer the effluent to the actual flow rate of the well, and this at any time. For this, we must know, at all times, the value of the flow rate of the effluent source, which can be obtained in various ways, some of which will be described in the following text.
  • FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the device according to the invention equipped with a device for calculating the flow rate of the effluent source S.
  • the reservoir 2 comprises two sampling tubes TC4, TC5 respectively provided with orifices O4, O5 , it is equipped with measuring means, such as a pressure sensor 3, and a level detector 4. These tubes pass through normal operation the gas-liquid interface symbolized by I, they can be vertical and pass through on either side the tank 2. They are connected to a manifold 5 by lines C4, C5, itself connected to a pumping assembly, comprising in our example two pumps P4, P5, by transfer lines L4, L5.
  • Effluent pressure measuring means such as pressure sensors 6, 7 are positioned at the inlet of each pump P4, P5 delivering the pressure value of the effluent measured at the suction of the pump .
  • the various measurement means 3, 4, 6 and 7 are connected by means of electrical connections to a processing and control device 8, such as a programmable processor.
  • the information coming from these different measurement means is sent to processor 8 which calculates the value of the GLR associated with a sampling tube and, permanently, the value of the flow rate of the effluent passing through each sampling tube TC1, TC2.
  • the processor 8 sends a control signal regulating the opening and / or closing of the valves of the manifold so as to distribute the effluent to one or more pumps.
  • the processor is thus connected to the manifold 5 by an electrical connection making it possible to transmit, for example, the necessary signals for controlling the valves.
  • processor 8 calculates the respective amounts of gas and liquid passing through each sampling tube and deduces therefrom the value of the flow rate Qi of the effluent passing through a sampling tube. By summing up the various quantities previously determined, the value of the flow rate of the total effluent passing through the various sampling tubes is obtained. The processor 8 compares this new value with a threshold value.
  • each effluent transfer line C4, C5 is equipped with means 10, 12 for measuring the flow rate of the effluent and means 9, 11 making it possible to determine the value of the GLR parameter that the effluent has at the inlet of a pump.
  • Such a device differs from that described in connection with FIG. 2 by the manner of obtaining the flow rate of the effluent for each sampling tube and its GLR value.
  • the value of the GLR and the value of the flow rate of each of the sub-effluents are measured using the appropriate devices 9, 11 and 10, 12.
  • a device such as that described in the aforementioned French patent FR 2,647,549 is used to measure the value of the GLR.
  • the information from the various measurement means is sent to the processor 8 which processes it as described above.
  • the device of FIG. 2 can be adapted to detect and react in the event that a pump breaks down.
  • a device D making it possible to detect the failure of a pump.
  • This device D is connected to the processor by a conventional electrical connection. It indicates to processor 8 the operating state of the pump to which it is connected and sends an alarm signal to the latter when the pump malfunctions.
  • the processor 8 then identifies the faulty pump, its number and the GLR value associated with it. 11 compares this GLR value with the various values associated with the pumps constituting the pumping assembly.
  • the processor 8 After comparison of the GLR value corresponding to the faulty pump with the other values, the processor 8 sends a control signal from the valves of the manifold to redirect the quantity of effluent arriving on the faulty pump towards one or more pumps of the pumping unit, according to the quantity of the effluent, having GLR characteristics which are closest to those of the failed pump.
  • the number of pumps concerned or called upon to absorb the quantity of effluent coming from the faulty pump depends on this quantity and on the quantity of effluent that the pumps solicited by the processor can absorb. Knowing, at all times, the quantity of effluent passing through a tube pierced with orifices and the quantity of effluent to be distributed at the level of the different pumps, the processor 8, by a difference calculation, orients the quantity of effluent from the faulty pump to the other pumps, in the following manner, it sends an opening signal to the valve corresponding to the pump whose GLR value is closest to that of the value of the faulty pump .
  • the processor requests the pump with the next GLR value closest to the faulty pump and controls the valve allowing part of the rest to be derived effluent from the faulty pump to the second requested pump. The processor does this until all of the sub-effluent to be redistributed or at least the largest possible amount has been distributed to the different pumps.
  • the present invention allows a good adaptation between the actual flow rate of the effluent from the source and the pumping means through the use of several perforated sampling tubes, placed in a reservoir or regulating flask.
  • Figure 4 is another example of application of a device according to the invention comprising several sources of fluid, such as oil wells S1, S2, Across Sn connected by pipes 16 to tank 2 via line 1.
  • the effective passage of the effluent from a source S1, S2, Across Sn, towards the tank or regulating tank 2 is for example controlled by a valve, respectively , V1, V2, Across Vn.
  • This valve is of a conventional type of valve usually used in the petroleum field and can be remote-controlled by means of control lines in a manner well known to specialists in the field.
  • the regulating tank 2 (Fig. 4) comprises several sampling tubes TC1, TC2, ..., TCN connected to a distribution assembly 15 which controls the supply or distribution of the effluent to hydraulic pumps P1, P2 ,. ..Pt.
  • This system enables the pumps P1 to Pt to be supplied in different modes, some examples of which will be described below.
  • Figure 5 shows schematically an example of an effluent distribution system in which each tube TC1, TC2, TC3, TC4 is connected to a pipe C1, C2, C3, C4, and the inlet or aspiration of a pump P1, P2, P3, P4, not shown in the figure for reasons of simplification, is connected to a pipe CA1, CA2, CA3.
  • the number of pipes Ci can be different from the number of pipes CAi.
  • Such a device can operate in the following manner: the valves Vii being open and the other valves closed, the effluent from a source Si passes through the pipe Ci then into the tube TCi and then is distributed to the pump Pi by the through the line CAi.
  • a sampling tube Tci allows the passage of the effluent only to a pump Pi.
  • the valves V41, V42, and V43 the effluent from the sampling tube TC4 is allowed to pass to the pumps P1 , P2, P3 which are then supplied respectively by the tubes TC1, TC4; TC2, TC4; and TC3, TC4.
  • the Vij valves are, for example, remotely controlled and controlled using the processor 8, so as to optimize the operation of the assembly consisting of the different sources of effluents and of the pumps positioned downstream of the tank.
  • This optimization can, for example, consist in choosing the number of pumps as a function of the actual flow rate of the sources of effluents as described above.
  • Optimization can also consist in obtaining an almost total adequacy between the value of the effluent leaving a sampling tube and a pump located downstream of the tube.
  • a pump is supplied by two sampling tubes. Indeed, such a device may be of interest when the physical characteristics of the well, such pressure and flow rate, varies over time.
  • the buffer tank has three vertical sampling tubes, these can be alleged or placed at the vertices of a triangle.
