The role of oil field equipment management in safe production

Oil field production is inseparable from starting pump equipment, and equipment management is an important content of enterprise management. There is a clear responsibility among the management personnel, equipment operators, maintenance personnel and relevant cooperation personnel at all levels, so that there are rules to follow and evidence to be documented, and the use, maintenance and maintenance of the pump equipment are strictly in accordance with the operating rules, and the equipment management is standardized and institutionalized, which will definitely prevent the occurrence of major accidents of the pump equipment and ensure the safe and efficient service of the pump equipment for our oilfield production.

I. Preface

Equipment is the foundation for the survival and development of production enterprises. With the progress of science and technology, various new processes, new technologies and new materials are widely used in production practice. It has played a good role in improving the safety, reliability and economy of equipment, especially with the implementation of the Safety Law, the status of equipment in safety production has attracted great attention from manufacturers and users. Safety first, prevention first? Our concept is replacing the one-sided pursuit of short-term economic benefits, and the safety management of equipment is developing towards a healthy and orderly place.

in the production process of the oilfield, the combined treatment station mainly undertakes three major tasks: crude oil dehydration and transportation, natural gas pressurization and transportation, oily sewage treatment and transportation (or reinjection). The station includes dehydration-to-oil system, crude oil stabilization system, sewage treatment system, water injection system, power distribution system, natural gas treatment system, etc. Each production system is composed of various types of equipment. Whether the equipment can run safely determines the safe operation of the system and even the whole joint station. Therefore, equipment management plays an increasingly important role in the process of safe production. To do a good job in equipment management, we should carry out the following aspects.

ii. Selection and selection of equipment

The equipment of oil gathering and transportation pumping station mainly includes oil-gas separator, crude oil dehydrator, oil storage tank, heating furnace, various types of pumps and pipelines, etc., which form a pressure system and thermal system. Therefore, the selection and selection of equipment should proceed from reality, fully consider the safety, reliability, durability, environmental protection, energy saving, completeness and flexibility of the equipment, and the equipment should also meet the requirements of long-term use. The capacity of the selected equipment should be determined according to the liquid production and development of the oilfield, so that the capacity can reach the specified applicable period. The equipment should also achieve the specified operating efficiency, save energy consumption and meet the special requirements of the process. Take the type selection and selection of oil conveyor pump as an example. The principle of selection is that the performance meets the production process requirements, the structure is easy to operate and maintain, the noise is lower than the noise hygiene standard of industrial enterprises, the leakage is lower than the leakage control standard of enterprise equipment, the motor reaches the specified explosion-proof grade, and the instrument meets the detection requirements. In production, the appropriate pump should be selected according to the process parameters such as working flow, conveying distance, lift, pipeline friction and flow form. For the selected pump, it should be in the high efficiency area when working. In various production units in the oilfield, the media contacted by oil and gas processing and transportation equipment are mainly oil and natural gas, which will form explosive gas when mixed with air. Therefore, the correct selection of pump equipment suitable for safe production is the guarantee to ensure the safe operation of the equipment. It is most important to do a good job in the selection and selection of pump equipment.

Third, do a good job in the training and assessment of safety technology and practical skills of management personnel

Different industries, different production and business units, different jobs and different production and business facilities and equipment have different safety technical characteristics and requirements. With the continuous expansion of production and business areas and the extensive use of high-tech safety equipment, production and business units have higher and higher requirements for the safety quality of employees. The safety awareness and safety skills of employees are directly related to the safety and reliability of production and business activities.

In the oil gathering and transportation pumping station, its main products are petroleum, natural gas and light oil, and their risks are flammable, easy to evaporate, easy to explode, easy to generate static electricity, easy to expand or boil over. If it is not managed or operated properly, it will lead to accidents such as pressure holding, oil leakage, evacuation, fire and explosion. Therefore, in order to do a good job in safety production and prevent equipment and personnel accidents, all new employees (including apprentices, employees transferred from other units, substitute trainees, college graduates, etc.) must undergo strict, meticulous and standardized training and assessment on safety technology and practical skills before taking up their posts. Understand the general situation, nature, characteristics, special dangerous parts, hazard factors and safety matters of the production of this unit, and the basic knowledge of accident prevention, and master the performance, function and usage of emergency measures and safety protection facilities in this position. Strictly abide by the equipment safety technical operating rules and safety production rules and regulations, and the enterprise's labor, operation, technology, construction and work discipline. What should the operator do before taking up the post to operate the equipment? Three understand? Understand the principle, performance and structure. Sihui? (Can use, maintain, check and eliminate common faults). Ensure the equipment? Three good? (manage, use and maintain well). Correct skill operation is the main factor that determines whether the equipment can run safely. At the same time, the normal maintenance of equipment is also one of the conditions to ensure the safe operation of equipment. After a period of operation of the equipment, the fasteners will be loosened to varying degrees, and the moving parts will be worn to varying degrees. If the equipment continues to operate, the damage of the equipment parts will be accelerated, which will seriously affect the operation of the equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to make full use of all kinds of equipment testing instruments and meters, analyze the running state of equipment in time, carry out preventive regular inspection, repair and maintenance, and carry out repair and maintenance in strict accordance with the requirements of equipment maintenance, so as to ensure the equipment in good condition.

IV. Perfect equipment management system is the guarantee for safe operation of equipment

The main contents of equipment management include the following aspects:

1. Selection and evaluation of equipment. According to the principle of advanced technology and reasonable economy and the needs of production, choose the equipment correctly. At the same time, technical and economic demonstration and evaluation should be carried out to choose the best scheme.

2. Use of equipment. According to the characteristics of equipment, correct and reasonable use of equipment and arrangement of production tasks can reduce the loss of equipment, prolong its service life and prevent equipment and personal accidents; Reduce and avoid idle equipment, improve equipment utilization, etc.

3. Inspection, maintenance and repair of equipment. It is the central link in equipment management and the part with the largest workload. It is necessary to make reasonable plans for equipment inspection, maintenance and repair, adopt advanced maintenance technology and organize their implementation; Organize the supply and storage of spare parts and accessories used for maintenance.

4. Modification and update of equipment. According to the scale, product variety and quality of the enterprise's production and operation, and the needs of developing new products and transforming old products, the existing equipment will be transformed and updated in a planned and focused way.

5. Daily management of equipment. It mainly includes equipment classification, registration, numbering, sealing, scrapping, accident handling and technical data management.

only perfect equipment management can ensure that the equipment is in a good operating state and the safe operation of the equipment, which not only improves the intact rate and utilization rate of the equipment, but also ensures the safe production of the enterprise. ;
