Reason Analysis and Treatment Measures for High Temperature of Crude Oil on an Offshore Platform
A offshore production platform processes the crude oil produced by the oil field and stores it in qualified oil tanks.The crude oil is exported through the berthing of export tankers.With the increase of oil pump extraction and water content in oil wells,There is a bottleneck in the production process of the production processing platform,where the temperature of the crude oil entering the crude oil storage tank has greatly increased,exceeding the designed operating temperature for a long time,which increases the operational risk of the platform's crude oil storage tank.To reduce the temperature of crude oil entering the tank,the platform analyzed the reasons for the high temperature in the tank and proposed targeted treatment measures,achieving good results.
