Abstract:

Currently, Shengli Oilfield has entered the period of ultrahigh water cut, thereby increasing the difficulty of exploitation and raising the cost of oil production. Energy conservation has become the main factor for controlling the cost of oil-production plants. The distributed energy system based on natural gas can be constructed by combining gas turbine or gas internal combustion engine for power generation and flue gas-driven heat pump for the recovery from sewage and heating crude oil. Energy-flow analysis and optimization can be achieved through pinch analysis of a traditional joint station and a joint station distributed energy system. Based on the energy-flow model of a gas internal combustion engine under variable working conditions, the combustion calculation of a gas internal combustion engine is performed via thermal simulation and the pinch analysis is conducted for a traditional joint station that heats crude oil via water jacket heating furnace. Based on the lithium bromide-absorption heat pump energy-flow model driven via flue-gas heat, the pinch point analysis is conducted for the distributed energy system of the joint station. A comparative analysis of the joint station distributed energy system and the traditional joint station is performed. The energy-saving potential of the joint station distributed energy system can reach 24%, contributing to the realization of the “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality” goal.

Key words: combined station, distributed energy systems, pinch analysis, energy saving and consumption reduction
