Design and Application of Unattended Intelligent Wellhead Device and Christmas Tree on Offshore Platforms
The application status and existing problems of unmanned intelligent wellhead devices and Christmas trees on offshore platforms are discussed.The overall scheme of unattended intelligent wellhead is defined,and the three main functions necessary for intelligent wellhead,namely real-time monitoring,fault diagnosis and remote control,and the direction of transformation and upgrading are determined.The wellhead layout diagram of the platform is designed,the structure design,simulation test and size optimization of the intelligent wellhead are carried out,and the wellhead device and Christmas tree that meet the spatial layout requirements of the unmanned platform are developed.In order to determine the functions and transformation requirements of the main modules,the intelligent wellhead is designed and analyzed according to its characteristics and requirements.According to the technical characteristics of the current unmanned wellhead platform,the improvement direction of enhancing the remote monitoring and control technology is proposed.
