Definitions
- the present invention concerns a method of installing an underwater energy recovery system in thermal connection with a fluid production and/or injection piping laying on the bottom of a body of water, the underwater energy recovery system comprising an organic Rankine cycle having equipment comprising an evaporator to evaporate the working fluid, and optionally a pre-heater to heat the working fluid upstream of the evaporator, the equipment further comprising a turbine coupled to a power generator connected to an electrical controller, to expand the working fluid after evaporation, a condenser to condense the working fluid after expansion, a drum to collect the condensed working fluid and a pump to compress the collected working fluid, the method comprising lowering the equipment in the body of water and thermally connecting at least a pipe of the fluid production and/or injection piping to the evaporator and advantageously to the pre-heater.
- Hydrocarbon production installations require electrical power to be operated.
- subsea ground architectures use electrical power to operate various equipment such as pumps, gas injection devices, valves, etc.
- part of the produced fluid is used as fuel to generate electrical power which is conveyed to the bottom of the body of water.
- Hydrocarbon production installation often produce fluids which have a temperature significantly above the ambient temperature.
- the flow which is extracted from the reservoir is quite warm, since the reservoir is often located deep in the ground.
- the hydrocarbon production flow therefore conveys a thermal energy, which is totally lost at the surface of the well or downstream the well location.
- Thermal energy can be recovered using an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) to convert this energy into electricity through a turbine/alternator.
- ORC organic Rankine cycle
- An organic Rankine cycle uses a heat source that heats up and vaporizes in an evaporator an intermediate working fluid, used to drive a turbine. Downstream the turbine, the working fluid at low pressure (superheated or in bi-phasic phase) is fully condensed by a cold source prior being pressure boosted through a circulating pump. This circulating pump then sends back the intermediate fluid to the evaporator.
- FR 2 738 872 discloses such an energy recovery system located at the bottom of a body of water.
- the energy recovery system uses, as a heat source, production flow lines laying on the ground at the bottom of the body of water.
- a thermal cycle is carried out to recover heat from the fluid flowing in the production lines, to partially transform the heat into mechanical energy and/or electrical energy.
- One aim of the invention is therefore to provide an energy recovery system from hot fluids produced from the ground in an offshore fluid production installation, which supplies high electrical power, while being simple to put in place.
- the subject matter of the invention is an installation method of the above-mentioned type, characterized in that lowering the equipment comprises lowering a first support module comprising a main frame and a first part of the equipment of the organic Rankine cycle borne by the main frame and lowering at least a second equipment module comprising at least a second part of the equipment of the organic Rankine cycle, laying the second equipment module on the first support module and connecting the first part of the equipment to the second part of the equipment.

- the expansion of the working fluid rotates the rotor of the turbine 58 about the rotation axis A-A' to generate electrical power in the generator 60.
- the electrical power is transmitted to the transformer 62 to increase its tension in particular to transport it to the surface assembly 11B.
- the whole electrical power of the utilities present in the fluid production and/or injection piping assembly 18 is provided by the generator 60, and if an excess power remains, it is transmitted to the surface assembly 11B via an umbilical 36.
- the expanded gaseous working fluid is then passed through the condenser 66, where it heats exchanges with water from the body of water 12 to condense the working fluid.
- the condensed working fluid is recovered in the drum 68, before being pumped by the pump to increase its pressure to a pressure advantageously greater than 5 bars. It is then directed to the preheater 54.
- the dimensions of the equipment 52 contained in the organic Rankine cycle can be greatly increased, which allows a significant power recovery, for example greater than 500 kW up to several MW.
- the underwater energy recovery system 20 remains nevertheless very compact, in particular due to the specific alignment of the rotation axis B-B' of the turbine 58, of the elongation axis A-A' of the evaporator 56/ preheater 54, and of the condenser axis C-C'.
- the modular structure also allows an easy replacement or maintenance of one of the modules 80, 82, 84, without having to completely raise the underwater energy recovery system 20.
- the system 20 is thus very efficient in heat recovery and transformation, yet very easy to install and maintain with laying vessels of smaller capacities and greater availability.
- FIG. 5 An alternate modular underwater energy recovery system 20 is shown in figure 5 .
- the recovery system of figure 5 differs from the system of figure 4 in that the condenser 66 is not held by the support module 80.
- the condenser 66 is here borne by an additional condenser module 100.
- the condenser module 100 is thus movable as one single unit, independently of the other modules 80, 82, 84.
- the installation of the energy recovery system 20 shown in figure 5 only differs from the installation of the energy recovery system 20 shown in figure 4 in that the condenser module 100 is put in place independently of the other modules 80, 82, 84. It is laid in one piece on the support module 80, preferably with the condenser axis C-C' parallel to the rotation axis B-B' in an axial prolongation of the turbine 58.
- Such a configuration allows the energy recovery system 20 to produce a greater electrical power, for example greater than 100 kW, in particular comprised between 500 kW and 10MW.
- the weight of the support module 80 can then be more than 200 T, such as between 250 T and 1500 T. As such, a heavy lift vessel (HLV) has to be used to lay the support module 80.
- the remaining modules 82, 84, 100 can still be laid with a MSV as described above.
- the maximal dimension of the main module 80 can be greater than 15 m, and comprised between 18 m and 30 m.
