Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method for the displacement of a probe incorporated in a two- or multiphase fluid sampling apparatus adapted to take samples of a fluid flowing in a pipe, a pipeline, a hose, a channel or a similar through- going passage, laterally of the inner pipe cross-section, and wherein the fluid flow by means of a two- or multiphase fluid mixing apparatus mounted upstream in respect of the fluid sampling apparatus and adapted to guide fluid streams radially inwardly along imaginary non-axial paths of motion meeting each other in a common centre situated substantially in that lateral plane of the pipe wherein said probe is displacable from a through-going passage in the pipe, at the inner circumference thereof, through said centre, to a diametrally opposite point at said inner circumference of the pipe.
  • the invention relates to a device associated with a fluid sampling apparatus and constructively shaped and designed for the same purpose.
  • the socalled "focal point" which, out of symmetry considerations, usually will be situated exactly or approximately on the longitudinal axis of the pipe, the general fluid flow will concentrate itself in said centre where a great part of the fluid flow will be situated when it passes the probe of the fluid sampling apparatus.
  • Said probe may have two orifices, one which is open in the direction of the fluid flow, and one which is open in a direction forming 180° with the fluid's flowing direction in the pipe, so that it simultaneously can be taken two fluid samples, one fluid sample in the flowing direction of the fluid and another fluid sample in counterflow.
  • Such sampling favours the accuracy degree of the subsequently achieved measure/analysis results.
  • the probe of the fluid sampling apparatus is displaced with a constant speed across the inner pipe cross-section, the flowing cross- section of the fluid, resulting in that both the orifices for the counterflow sample and the orifices for the other sample taken in the fluid's flowing direction receive a significantly larger amount of fluid from the central area of the flow cross-section than from the peripheral portions thereof.
  • Such sampling results in non-representative, depreciating the degree of accuracy.

  • the task of these meters is to determine the production amount/share, e.g. calculated as a percentage per time unit, of the separate fractions (oil, gas, water/condensate, formation sand, etc.), or to deliver a signal for such determination to a computer.
  • the sampling apparatus is connected to the pipeline at a hole through the pipe wall, said through-going hole being intended to allow insertion/- withdrawal of a probe having at least one orifice and being carried by the sampling apparatus.
  • the probe can be inserted into the fluid flow within the pipeline and thereafter displaced across substantially the whole internal diameter thereof. After concluded sampling, the probe with its orifice will be pulled out from the pipeline, the insertion/- withdrawal hole thereof, then, being closed by a shut-off valve. Fluid samples taken isokinetically by means of the sampling apparatus are analyzed in order to determine i.a. the values of corresponding fractions. Said measuring values can be used as reference values as a basis for a possibly necessary calibration of the electronic fraction meters.
  • this known sampling apparatus In case the flowing speed of the fluid is unevenly distributed across said pipeline's flow cross-section, a higher flowing speed occurring along the centrally extending longitudinal axis of the pipeline, a lower flowing speed existing peripherally at the inner wall face of the pipeline, this known sampling apparatus neither exhibits the desired degree of accuracy.
  • the object of the present invention has been to indicate a method and provide a fluid sampling apparatus where isokinetic fluid sampling is provided also when the flowing speed of the fluid is unevenly distributed across a flow cross-section defined by a pipe wall or similar pipe-/container-shaped hollow body in which a fluid flows, and where the flowing speed of the fluid is highest in the centre and within the central portions of said fluid flow cross-section, the establishment and maintenance of isokinetic sampling in connection with said unevenly distributed flowing speed conditions across the flow cross-section resulting in representative measurement/ analysis of fluid samples across the whole inner pipe cross-section.
  • the probe of the fluid sampling apparatus is displaced with varying speed across the fluid's flow cross-section in the pipe, etc., in such a manner that the displacement speed of the probe is higher in the central zone of the pipe than within the peripheral zone thereof.
  • the displacement speed of the probe from one peripheral point at the inner cross-section of the pipe, e.g. at the through-going passage hole for the probe, may have a constant acceleration to said centre ("focal point") and a constant retardation from said centre to a point at the inner pipe periphery positioned diametrally opposite said through-going passage and which, of course, concludes the movement path of the probe tip.
  • a non-constant acceleration/ retardation is preferred, where the speed increase per time unit ahead towards the centre grows with degreasing distance to the centre, and where the speed reduction per time unit from the centre towards said diametrally opposite outer point at the inner pipe periphery decelerates most in the neighbourhood of the centre, whereafter the retardation acquires a more slowly degreasing course down towards a speed value equal to 0 at said diametrally opposite outer point on the inner pipe periphery.

  • the pipe 10 serves to carry a two- or multiphase fluid which flows as a mass flow through the pipe 10 through the inherent speed, pressure and temperature thereof.
  • a multiphase fluid may consist of oil, natural gas, condensate, water and/or formation sand.
  • the fluid sampling apparatus 16 is adapted to be connected to the pipe 10 at its hole for the passage for the probe 14, where is disposed a connecting piece carrying a shut-off valve 18 with a operating handle 20.
  • a connecting piece carrying a shut-off valve 18 with a operating handle 20 Upon closed valve 18, the hole 12 is closed, while open valve 18, figure 1, allows passage of the linearly displacable probe 14.
  • the probe 14 has a linear displacement extent of such a length that it, from an inoperative position of readiness in which the probe tip is withdrawn into the adjacent hollow end portion of the sampling apparatus, to the probe tip's outermost, operative, furthest extended position, in which it reaches ahead to a point on the inner pipe periphery positioned diametrally opposite the passage 12 in the pipe wall.
  • the probe 14 In order to take two fluid samples with the probe 14 simultaneously, it may, as previously known per se, be equipped with two orifices having a circumferential spacing of 180°, and where one orifice with its opening is directed in the fluid's flowing direction FS in the pipe 10, so that the other is directed against the flowing direction FS.
  • sarnies are obtained with counter- currently and in the opposite direction, said samples being more representative for the composition and properties of the fluid flowing in the pipe 10 than one single fluid sample, e.g. a fluid sample taken in the flowing direction within the pipe 10.
  • This kind of sampling represents, however, well known technique at this special field.
  • the probe 14 is connected to an actuator adapted to allot the elongate, lineary probe 14 displacement movements to and fro in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the probe 14.
  • an actuator may, as known per se, comprise a double- acting piston cylinder the piston rod's 22 end thereof being coupled to the axially innermost end of the probe 14.
  • the piston rod 22 may consist of two concentric pipes. The sample taken in the fluid's flowing direction may be received and conveyed further in e.g. the radially innermost pipe of said concentric pipes, while the countercurrent-sample is received and conveyed further in the annulus between the outside of the radially innermost pipe and the inside of the radially outermost pipe.
  • the probe's end portion is assigned one orifice only, it is sufficient that the piston rod is hollow.
  • the piston rod 22 carries a piston 24 which is displacable in a cylinder 26 constituting the outer housing of the sampling apparatus, the piston 24 being acted upon with pressure fluid alternately on one end face and the other through hydraulic hoses 28, 30.
  • Hose connectors 32, 34 serve to connect transport hoses (not shown) for separate further conveyance of countercurrent fluid samples and fluid samples taken with an orifice directed in the flowing direction of the fluid.
  • the fluid sampling apparatus 16 is assigned an upstream mixing apparatus 36 formed with through-going channels 38, the central lines thereof MLi and ML2 converging downstreamly towards a common centre C on the pipe axis S, the socalled "focal point", where the degree of intermixing and the fluid concentration have optimal values.
  • an amount of fluid per time unit taken from the flow cross-section's peripheral zones must be of the same size as one sampled from the central zone at C.
  • the housing of the mixing apparatus 36 is constituted by an annular valve housing 40 fluid-tightly coupled into the pipe 10, so that it surrounds the same 360°.
  • the valve housing 40 contains a linearly displacable valve body 42 having a lateral bore 44 with the same diameter and shape as the bore of the pipe 10.
  • Reference numeral 46 denotes the real mixing body formed with the previously mentioned sloping channels 38.
  • the tip of the probe 14 is positioned approximately in said centre C and, thus, has travelled about half its displacement extent between the passage 12 and the point D positioned diametrally opposite at the inner circumference of the pipe's cross-section.
  • the probe 14 is displaced with a variable speed across the fluid's flow cross-section in such a way that the probe's 14 displacement speed is larger in the central zone of the pipe 10 than in the peripheral zone thereof, so that favourable conditions are offered for isokinetic fluid sampling.
  • the increase in speed from the inner opening of the passage 12 to the common centre C for the axes L ⁇ and ML2 of the mixing body's 46 sloping channels, respectively the decrease in speed from the centre C to the point D may be even or uneven.
  • the acceleration/ retardation will be dependent on how large a part of the total liquid flow that passes centrally in relation to the partial streams passing closer to the inner face of the pipe 10.
  • a acceleration/ retardation will be preferred where the speed increase per time unit from the inner mouth of the probe passage hole at the pipe's inner wall face ahead towards the centre C grows with an additional value beyond an even acceleration with a decreasing distance from the centre, so that a curve in which the displacement speed is a function of the probe tip's distance from the centre will have a significantly larger rise in the neighbourhood of the centre than at a larger distance therefrom, such a curve concerning retardation is symmetrical about said centre.
  • the displacement speed of the probe tip upon its passage of said centre may e.g. constitute 45 mm/second.
  • such a varying probe displacement speed may be effected by adapting the actuator 22,24,26 for uneven feeding of the probe 14.
  • the speed of the probe 14 may be adjusted and controlled by means of a computer.

Abstract

Un appareil d'échantillonnage (16) de liquide situé en aval est accouplé à un conduit (10) dans lequel s'écoule un liquide et possède une sonde (14) conçue pour effectuer l'échantillonnage d'un liquide et un appareil de mélange (36) de liquide situé en amont, également accouplé audit conduit, (10) est conçu pour diriger des écoulements partiels de liquide vers un centre aval commun (C) dans le plan latéral duquel ladite sonde (14) peut se déplacer depuis un point périphérique (12) sur la section transversale intérieure du conduit, par ledit centre (C) jusqu'au point périphérique (D) diamétralement opposé. La majeure partie du liquide s'écoule dans ledit plan latéral et la zone autour de celui-ci passera dans la zone centrale avec une concentration maximum de liquide dans le centre (C). Le déplacement de la sonde (14) à une vitesse variable, de sorte que la vitesse est la plus rapide dans la zone du centre (C) et sensiblement inférieure dans les parties périphériques, dans lesquelles apparaissent des parties plus petites de la zone de l'écoulement du liquide, permet d'obtenir des conditions favorables d'échantillonnage isocinétique.
