注抑制剂预防原料天然气集输系统水合物研究
Study on use of inhibitors for preventing hydrate formation in raw natural gas gathering and transportation systems
以四川中部某气田为例,利用Aspen软件搭建原料气集输系统流程,模拟研究区不同压力下的水合物生成温度,得到0~40 MPa内压力与水合物生成温度的对应关系。对比甲醇(MeOH)、乙二醇(MEG)及三甘醇(TEG)3种抑制剂在研究区内的适应性,水合物抑制效果为MeOH>MEG>TEG,而抗水量影响能力为TEG>MEG>MeOH。通过模拟原料输送过程管内温度、压力及水合物生成温度分布,以管内温度来判断是否存在水合物生成风险。以下游进站温度作为抑制剂加注时机参照点,结合气井各自产气、水量及管长特点,预设一定温度裕量,得到所需抑制剂加注量,最终以0.5℃温度梯度对应加注量确定加注方案。经现场验证,2024年冬季保供周期使用该方案,原料气安全输送同时有效减少了15%的抑制剂用量,解决了抑制剂加注量过大且加注时机不明确的问题。
Taking a mid-Sichuan gas field as a case study,the raw natural gas gathering and transportation system was modeled using Aspen software to simulate hydrate formation temperatures under varying pressure conditions within the study area.The relationship between pressure (0-40 MPa) and hydrate formation temperature was established.A comparative analysis of three inhibitors—methanol (MeOH),monoethylene glycol (MEG),and triethylene glycol (TEG)—was conducted regarding their efficacy in hydrate suppression.Results indicated that hydrate inhibition effectiveness follows the order:MeOH>MEG>TEG,while the resistance to water volume impact is TEG>MEG>MeOH.By simulating temperature,pressure,and hydrate formation temperature distributions along the pipeline during raw gas transportation,the potential risk of hydrate formation was assessed based on internal pipeline temperature.The downstream inlet temperature served as a reference point for inhibitor injection timing,combined with the production and water flow characteristics of each gas well and pipeline length,to preset a temperature margin.This plan determined the required inhibitor injection volume,with a 0.5℃ temperature gradient used to finalize the injection scheme.After field verification,implementing this plan during the winter supply period of 2024,ensured safe raw gas transportation while effectively reducing inhibitor consumption by 15%,resolving the issue of excessive inhibitor injection dosage and unclear injection timing.
