Drainage method for high-fall heavy-caliber oil-gas pipeline after pressure testing

Abstract

The invention relates to a drainage method for a heavy-caliber oil-gas pipeline used for paving in high-fall areas after pressure testing, which aims at solving the problem of pipeline burst caused by water attack in the drainage process of the oil-gas pipeline. The technical scheme is that the drainage method comprises the steps of firstly, selecting the model of an air compressor according to fall of a laid pipeline and the diameter of the pipeline; installing a pressure gauge and a high-pressure gate valve A connected with a drainage pipe on a pressure testing sealing head A at a drainage end of a main pipeline; enabling a pressure testing sealing head B at the other end of the main pipeline to be connected with a high-pressure gate valve B and then connected with the air compressor, wherein a pipe clearing device is arranged in the pressure testing sealing head B at this time; starting up the high-pressure gate valve A to carry out natural drainage, starting up high-pressure gate valve B when the pressure descends to early warning pressure, and starting up the air compressor to enable the pipe clearing device to clear away water; shutting down the high-pressure gate valve A when the pressure descends to the early warning pressure, stopping drainage, starting up the high-pressure gate valve A again when the pressure rises to safe drainage pressure, and continuing to clear away the water; and repeating the processes until finish. The drainage method can effectively prevent the pipeline burst, and is simple in structure and convenient in operation.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to a method for pressure test and drainage of large diameter oil and gas pipelines with high drop and large diameter after the pressure test of large diameter oil and gas pipelines laid in areas with high drop. Background technique: [0002] With the increase of domestic oil and gas pipelines, the length, diameter and gas transmission volume of the pipelines are also increasing, and the construction conditions are becoming more and more complicated. At present, oil and gas pipelines laid in high-drop areas frequently experience pipe bursts during the drainage process after pressure testing, which seriously affects the pipeline laying process and threatens the safety of workers on the construction site and nearby residents. Pipe bursts during water sweeping after pressure testing were rare in the past, but with the increase in the complexity of geographical conditions for laying pipelines, some areas in my country even have super-...
