Application of IOT Technology in Heavy Oil Treatment Station
IOT of oil/gas production based on field data acquisition,process control,parameter optimization,management and decision making is an inevitable trend for the building and development of information based oilfield. Heavy oil processing is a key link in the production. The physical property of heavy oil is complicated,which demands frequent control and regulation of processes. Therefore,it is very difficult to guarantee smooth and stable function of system by relying on conventional artificial management. Taking No. 1 Heavy Oil Processing Station of Fengcheng Oilfield as example,the application of IOT technology in heavy oil processing station is presented. The construction of IOT system of processing station is combined with the features of processing techniques of heavy oil and equipped with automatic acquisition. The system of central control room has been established and the production throughout the station is under centralized surveillance and the whole process is regulated and controlled in a unified manner.Assistant video monitors are used for major zones. The comprehensive application of production data is used for the support management of production. The successful application of IOT system has achieved the efficient management of heavy oil processing station.The construction approach of IOT for heavy oil processing station can serve as a reference for the construction in other oilfields.
