Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a controller of a hydrocarbon production system with real-time information on current production and emissions, as well as optional future forecasts. This allows the controller to change parameters for optimizing the system, maximizing production and minimizing emissions. The information also helps in indicating maintenance requirements or suggesting replacements for components that may be approaching the end of their lifespan. Overall, the invention helps in controlling the hydrocarbon production system in an educated and informed manner, leading to higher production value and reduction in emissions.

Problems solved by technology

However, in the prior art the current state of the hydrocarbon production system is measured in various software programs that are not connected or used to determine real time production values and detailed emission data for optimizing the individual components and hydrocarbon process system production.

Embodiment Construction

[0130]FIG. 1 shows a schematic simplified version of a hydrocarbon production system 1. The hydrocarbon production system 1 comprises a plurality of wells 2, at least one sub-process system 3 downstream of the wells 2 and an output 4 downstream of the sub-process system 3. In reality there may be numerous sub-process systems, comprising numerous components such as pipelines, compressors, scrubbers, pumps, heat exchangers, pipelines, energy cables, valves, motors, separators, machines and / or anti-hydrate forming sources, etc. The sub-process system 3 is connected to an electrical power source 5 via a power transmission line 6. There may also be transformers and variable speed drives and rectifiers between the electrical power source 5 and the sub-process system 3. The wells 2, the sub-process systems 3 and the output 4 are connected via lines 7 through which the produced fluid from the wells 2 flow. Downstream of each well 2 is a glycol source 8 that can add variable amounts of glyco...

Abstract

A system for providing information on production value and / or emissions of a hydrocarbon production system is disclosed. The system includes: a plurality of sensors configured to measure a respective plurality of measured parameters of the hydrocarbon production system; an input interface for inputting a plurality of specified parameters into the system; and a processor configured to determine the production value and / or emissions of the hydrocarbon production system in real time based upon the measured parameters and the specified parameters.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention[0001]The present invention relates to systems and methods for providing information on a production value and / or an emission value, and possibly detailed equipment performance in a hydrocarbon production system.2. Description of the Related Art[0002]Currently, hydrocarbon production systems are monitored in various ways. For instance, total power consumption of the hydrocarbon production system has been measured, and the composition of the fluid has been determined at the topside process facility by taking samples at time intervals.[0003]However, in the prior art the current state of the hydrocarbon production system is measured in various software programs that are not connected or used to determine real time production values and detailed emission data for optimizing the individual components and hydrocarbon process system production.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0004]The inventors of the present invention identified that it would be...
