Abstract
A well control module for a subsea well includes at least one electronic control module (20) and at least one power switching module (21, 22). The power switching module (21, 22) may provide either a wholly hydraulic or wholly electrical output. The modules (20, 21, 22) facilitate their removal and replacement by a ROV.
Description
2405 1 63 Well Control Means This invention concerns the control of Tell
facilities, for example underwater hydrocarbon extraction wells.
A subsea well is conventionally controlled by equipment mounted on a structure known as a tree, which is typically located on or below the sea bed above the well bore. The tree houses a subsea control system, normally within a subsea control module (SCM) which comprises a subsea electronic module (SEM) and a hydraulic control module (HCM). The SCM is normally fed by an umbilical line from a surface station, e.g. from a surface platform, with electric power, control signals and hydraulic power. The control signals are processed by the SEM which then controls electrically operated, hydraulic directional control valves (DCV's) in the HCM, which in turn operate the multiplicity of hydraulic devices such as actuators, controlling the well.
The subsea control system is centralised within the tree, as illustrated diagrammatically in Figure 1. The SCM 1 houses the SEM 2 and the HCM 3. The SCM 1 is connected to the umbilical 4 via a distribution unit 5 which provides electric power and control signals to the SEM 2 via a cable 6 and hydraulic power to the HCM via a feed 7. The SEM 2 controls the DCV's in the HCM 3 via a cable 8. Although there are generally back-ups of the major functions of the system, any further failure requires the removal of the SCM 1, which, since its weight is substantial, requires the use of heavy lifting equipment, resulting in a very expensive operation for the well operator.
A prior aft attempt to decentralize the control system is described in GB 2264737 (ECA). Here the concept is to combine a limited electronic and hydraulic function within a small and light module, as illustrated in Figure 2. Thus the SCM ceases to exist in itself and is replaced by a multiplicity of integrated electronic and hydraulic functions in modules 9 by smaller and dedicated electronic units 10 and hydraulic units] 1, fed with electric power and control signals via an interface] 2 and hydraulic power via an interface 13. Four such modules only are shown for simplicity although there may be as many modules as hydraulic devices requiring to be operated. Other attempts include relocating the DCV's from an HCM onto the hydraulic devices themselves. In such systems, failed individual control units can be replaced without the use of heavy lifting equipment, by employing a remotely operated vehicle (ROV).
However, such prior systems have the major disadvantage of a substantially increased number of interface connections, both electrical and hydraulic, resulting in a reduction of the system reliability and availability. Furthermore, although failed individual control units are light enough to be within the handling capability of, and can be recovered by an ROV, it is time consuming to recover and replace the multiplicity of such units often required to clear a fault.
The present invention enables these problems to be overcome by decentralizing the control system in new configurations whilst maintaining system availability.
In accordance with a first aspect of the present invention there is provided control means for a well facility, comprising an electronic control module and a power switching module, said electronic control module being configured to provide a wholly electronic output and said power switching module being configured to provide a power switching output using said electronic output.
The power switching module may provide either wholly hydraulic or wholly electrical output.
The electronic control module and the power switching module could be arranged to be removably mounted on a well tree.
Preferably, jumpers are used for carrying control signals from said electronic control module to said power switching module.
The control means may further comprise an umbilical termination unit. This may be arranged to be removably mounted on the well tree. A jumper may be used for connection between the electronic control module and the umbilical termination unit. A hydraulic feed for feeding hydraulic power from the umbilical termination unit to a hydraulic power switching module (or an electrical feed to an electrical power switching module) may also be provided.
Preferably, at least one of the electronic control module, the power switching module, the umbilical termination unit, the hydraulic feed, the electrical feed or the jumpers is adapted for removal and fitting by a remotely operated vehicle.
plurality of power switching modules maybe provided, each connected to said control module.
At least one of them could produce wholly hydraulic output and at least one of them could produce wholly electrical output.
In accordance with a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a well tree comprising the above control means.
In accordance with a third aspect of the present invention there is provided a well facility comprising the above control means.
In accordance with a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of controlling well operations using an electronic control module to produce a wholly electronic output, which output controls a power switching module to produce a power switching output.
The electronic control module may receive control signals from a remote station, preferably via an umbilical termination unit.
The invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the following figures, in which: Figure 1 shows a conventional subsea control system; Figure 2 shows a prior art decentralised control system; Figure 3 shows a schematic diagram of a control system according to the present invention; Figure 4a shows a plan view of a well tree using a control system according to the present invention; and Figure 4b shows a side elevation view of the well tree of Figure 4a.
Referring firstly to Figure 3, a control system in accordance with the present invention comprises a subsea electronics module 20 containing control circuitry and hydraulic power switching modules 21 and 22 which contain equipment to effect limited hydraulic functions, SUC]1 as the control of DCV's, actuators etc. One ofthe hydraulic modules could be arelativelylow pressure hydraulic module and the other a relatively high pressure hydraulic module. Both the SEM 20 and hydraulic modules 21 and 22 are mounted on a well tree (not shown). SEM 20 sends control signals to hydraulic modules 21 and 22 via electrical jumpers 23 and 24 respectively. Electrical power, control signals and hydraulic power are fed to the tree from a remote station via an umbilical 25 to an umbilical termination unit (UTA) 26. Electrical power and control signals are fed front the UTA 26 to the SEM 20 via a jumper 27. Hydraulic power is fed from UTA 26 via a hydraulic feed 28 to a tree distribution unit 29 which feeds hydraulic fluid to a manifold 30.
The manifold 30 provides distribution ofthe hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic modules 21 and 22 through channels within it with an arrangement of self-sealing hydraulic coupling on both the modules 21 and 22 and the manifold 30. The manifold 30 is capable of carrying more than just the two hydraulic modules 21 and 22 shown. The SEM 20, hydraulic modules 21 and 22, jumpers 23,24 and 27, UTA 26 and hydraulic feed 28 may all be removed and replaced by using an ROV. Thus the number of interfaces is substantially reduced compared to the prior art, and ROV replacement of a module replaces a significant proportion of the system, thus keeping the number of ROV recovery operations in a fault situation to a minimum.
Figures 4a and 4b show a plan view and side elevation view respectively of a lightweight well tree 31 provided with a specific implementation of the above. Wllere possible, the reference numerals used in Figure 3 have been retained for corresponding features. Developments in hydraulic systems have permitted the elimination of heavy hydraulic accumulators thus allowing elimination of a large and heavy mechanical structure to support the subsea control module. An accumulator-free control system is light enotZgll to be mounted on production tubing 32, particularly if the functions ofthe control modules are limited to the essential requirements rather than the fitting of a standard control system designed to be compatible with all of the requirewcnts of any well.
The lightweight well tree 31 is attached to the production tubing 32. Umbilical 25 carries -s- hydraulic power, electrical power and control signals from a surface platform to the UTA 26.
The UTA 26 is housed in a receptacle, facilitating its removal and replacement by an ROV.
Electric power and control signals are fed to the SEM 20 via jumper 27. The tree 31 also functions as a hydraulic manifold which is fed from a tree hydraulic distribution unit 29, to connect hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic modules 2 l and 22 and to provide outputs front the hydraulic modules to hydraulic operated devices such as actuators (not shown). The UTA 26 is connected by a hydraulic feed 28 to the tree hydraulic distribution unit 29.
The SEM 20 is located in a receptacle 33 attached to the tree 31, and is tiffed with a handle 34 so that the module 20 can be removed from the receptacle 33 by an ROV. Jumpers 23 and 24 connect control signals from the SEM 20 to the hydraulic modules 21 and 22. All three jumpers 27, 23 and 24, as well as hydraulic feed 28 are designed to be removable and replaceable by an ROV. The hydraulic modules 21 and 22 are secured to the tree 31 by a locking screw arrangement, for example arrangements 35 and 36, such that an ROV can engage with the ] 5 arrangement auld detach each module from the manifold. The process of detaching the module causes the hydraulic feeds at both the manifold and the module to be automatically sealed.
Likewise, replacement of the module by an ROV re-opens the feeds.
A major advantage of the ROV replaceable hydraulic modules is that they can be made truly standard so that the specific requirement of each well can be accommodated by fitting further hydraulic modules to other faces of the tree manifold, the number fitted being dependent on the complexity of the well. This not only saves the operator costs in that he does not have to fit a subsea control system which of itself provides all electrical and hydraulic functions to a low complexity well, but also reduces hardware delivery time as "standard" units can be held in stock by the supplier. Each hydraulic module, being small and light, has a limited function capability.
Typically each module contains seven DCV's along with hydraulic fluid supply filtration and pressure transducers. A further advantage is that variants can be provided of the standard, with lower component populations to further reduce costs.
During installation and workover, it is necessary to exercise the well operating devices such as valves and chokes before the umbilical is installed. Another advantage of the inventive system is that hydraulic power and electrical control can be connected to the tree via temporary worlover "mini-umbilicals" connected to the SEM 20 and the tree distribution unit 29 during these non- production phases.
Although the invention has been described with reference to the er. bodilllents above, there fire many other modifications and alternatives possible within the scope of the claims. For example, the modules could be mounted on other than a well tree (for example on a subsea manifold, subsea template or subsea pipeline structure); there could be other electronic modules other than the electronic control module (for example for controlling or monitoring various downhole functions); and the invention may be applied other than in an underwater well facility; and at least one of the hydraulic power switching modules could be instead an electrical power switching module producing wholly electrical output and ROV replaceable.
