Abstract

Profile control and oil displacement technology is one of the important means to enhance oil recovery, which is widely used. Aiming at the problems of high safety risk, low operation efficiency and high cost of human resources in the traditional offshore profile control operation, which relies on manual operation, an offshore unmanned platform profile control system based on PLC is designed, which can realize the remote automatic control of profile control operation. The working principle and hardware composition of the control system are introduced in detail.A remote automatic control system based on Siemens S7-200 smart PLC and Forcecontrol configuration software is designed. The practice proves that the system is easy to operate, can improve the operation efficiency and safety, and has good economic benefits.

Keywords: Offshore Production Platform; PLC; Unmanned Platform; Profile Control and Displacement; Remote Control.
