封存海管湿气投产水合物形成评价及流动保障

Evaluation and flow assurance on hydrate formation during commissioning of sealed subsea wet-gas pipelines

  • 摘要: 针对中国某海域封存海管湿气投产过程中潜在的水合物形成风险, 利用HYSYS软件, 模拟分析其相平衡与水合物形成条件; 利用PIPEPHASE软件, 模拟分析海管沿程湿气的压力和温度分布; 采用静态模拟实验方法, 测试分析模拟湿气水合物形成速度; 对比分析数值模拟与实验模拟结果, 评价海管内水合物形成的可能性, 提出海管湿气投产的安全保障措施, 确保海管湿气投产的顺利实施。结果表明: 若海管不采取加注抑制剂或保温等防护措施, 在4~6 MPa的湿气投产过程中理论上会形成水合物, 凝析油有助于抑制水合物的形成, 海管沿线湿气压力随海底起伏而波动, 但全线压力损失不大, 管内湿气温度很快降至环境温度; 模拟实验证实了数值模拟结果的准确性与可靠性, 通过采用合理的投产方案, 加注乙二醇等措施可确保投产安全。

     

    Abstract: The risk of hydrate formation may occur during commissioning of a sealed subsea wet-gas pipeline. In this paper, for such a pipeline in a sea area of China, HYSYS software was used to simulate and analyze the phase equilibrium and hydrate formation conditions, and PIPEPHASE software was used to simulate and analyze the pressure and temperature distribution of the wet gas along the subsea pipeline. Static simulation experiments were performed on the hydrate forming rate in wet gas. Based on the comparative analysis between numerical simulation results and experimental simulation results, the possibility of hydrate formation in the subsea pipeline was evaluated, and flow assurance measures were proposed to ensure the successful commissioning of the pipeline. It is shown that hydrate could theoretically generate when the wet gas is put into production between 4 and 6 MPa without inhibitor or other insulation protective measures being taken. The condensate oil contributes to inhibiting the formation of hydrate. The pressure of wet gas in the subsea pipeline fluctuates with the fluctuation of seabed, but pressure loss in the whole pipeline is little and the temperature in the pipeline drops quickly to ambient temperature. The accuracy and reliability of the numerical simulation results are confirmed by simulation experiments. Wet gas can be put into production smoothly by adopting a reasonable production plan and taking some measures, such as adding monoethylene glycol (MEG).
