Optimization of gathering-transportation system of oil wells
N.Z. ShamsaddinovFor stabilization of oil production it is necessary to have periodical adequate information on well production capacity. That is why the delivery line of wells must be connected to automatic gaging battery, where technological processes are operated distantly, and the results of measurements processed and sent to the distance. The well products contain mechanical mixtures that cause wear of mechanism moving parts in automatic gaging battery, and in the oil gathering point they contaminate reservoir bottoms and environment. In the input of automatic gaging battery there is installed hydrocyclone with individual sand box, which divides mechanical mixtures and send them to the sand traps for utilization. On offshore platforms by installing filter at the ends of reservoirs (transport and well product with low pressure), it is possible to exclude wear of pump mechanical parts and underwater pipe columns. Introduction of automated management systems based on programmable logical controller makes possible the management of technological processes distantly.
