Research on Improving First-time Starting Success Rate of Gas Generator in Sour Gas Well
As the emergency support unit for gas well production,the gas generator provides stable power supply for the automatic control,communication and instrument systems of the high sour station.Its successful startup is of great significance to ensure safe and stable production of the gas well.This paper analyzes the operation status,working principle and environmental conditions of the gas generator in XX gas field station to determine the main factors affecting the success rate of the generator startup.Through improving the air intake structure of the generator,optimizing the battery management and improving the patrol inspection system,the success rate of the first startup of the generator is increased from 55%to 100%,effectively reducing the failure frequency and maintenance cost of the gas generator in the high sour station,and guaranteeing the production safety after the abnormal power failure of the gas field.
