Definitions

  • the invention relates to a deposit heating for inductive heating of a soil, in particular an oil sands, oil shale, heavy oil or heavy oil deposit.
  • hydrocarbons from an underground deposit for example, for the promotion of heavy oils or bitumen from oil sands or oil shale deposits, it is necessary to achieve the greatest possible flowability of the hydrocarbons to be pumped.
  • One way to improve the fluidity of the hydrocarbons in their promotion is to increase the temperature prevailing in the soil of the deposit by means of a deposit heating.
  • a known method for increasing the temperature of the deposit or the soil is the inductive heating by means of an inductor, which is in the deposit, that is introduced into the soil.
  • an inductor By means of the inductor eddy currents are induced in electrically conductive deposits, which heat the deposit, thus resulting in an improvement in the flowability of the hydrocarbons present in the deposit.
  • the inductor In order to obtain a sufficient increase in temperature of the soil typically high heat outputs are required. Due to the high voltage amplitude occurring thereby, the inductor must have a sufficient electrical insulation with respect to the ground. The electrical insulation of the inductor consequently limits its heating power to a maximum heating power.
  • the DE 10 2008 044955 A1 discloses a deposit heater according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the present invention has for its object to increase the maximum heat output of a deposit heating.
  • the energization that is, the loading of the conductor loop with an electrical alternating current, by means of a first and second alternator.
  • the first alternator is preferably arranged on the first region and the second alternator preferably on the second region of the conductor loop.
  • At least two alternators are provided for energizing the conductor loop.
  • voltage amplitudes at the alternating current generators which are provided for applying or energizing the conductor loop with the first and second alternating current, are reduced, in particular halved, compared to the current supply to the conductor loop by means of a single alternating current generator.
  • the insulation of the conductor loop is electrically less loaded according to the invention, so that for a given insulation of the conductor loop, the maximum heating power of the deposit heating is increased.
  • the limited and already existing isolation or isolation capability of the conductor loop is used as optimally as possible. If the maximum heating power of the deposit heating is not to be increased, the electrical insulation of the conductor loop with regard to its electrical insulation capability can advantageously be reduced due to the reduction of the voltage amplitudes.
  • the requirement for electrical isolation within the alternators can be reduced.
  • the maximum heating power which is limited by the said insulation, can be increased, for example by a factor of two, by means of the double current supply to the conductor loop with alternating current (first and second alternating current).
  • the conductor loop extends from the first alternator to the second alternator and from the second alternator back to the first alternator.
  • the conductor loop has a first conductor section and a second conductor section.
  • the first conductor portion extends from the first alternator to the second alternator.
  • the second conductor portion extends from the second alternator to the first alternator.
  • the first and second conductor section thus form the conductor loop.
  • a first alternator In a method according to the invention for operating a deposit heater, a first alternator generates a first alternating current and a second alternator generates a second alternating current.
  • the hydrocarbonaceous substance may comprise heavy oils, heavy oils, bitumen, oil sand and / or oil shale.
  • deposit heating advantageously the soil and the substance present in the soil is heated, whereby the viscosity of the substance is reduced. In other words, the flowability of the hydrocarbonaceous substance is increased or improved by the use of the deposit heating.
  • the hydrocarbon-containing substance comprises at least hydrocarbons which are intended for delivery, in particular for in situ production.
  • the conductor loop is acted on at a first location by means of the first alternating current generator with a first alternating current and at a second location different from the first location by means of the second alternating current generator with the second alternating current.
  • the first and second alternator are advantageously not immediately one behind the other, that is arranged generously spaced from each other.
  • the first and second alternator are arranged outside the soil.
  • the second AC generator is arranged in a region (second region) of the conductor loop, which is at a given geometry of the conductor loop as far as possible from the first AC generator, that is spaced from the first region.
  • the geometry of the conductor loop is advantageously not changed or adversely affected by the presence of the second alternator.
  • the conductor loop does not have to be extended or only slightly extended due to the double electrical current supply compared with a simple electrical current supply.
  • the first alternator outside and the second alternator within the soil is arranged.
  • the waste heat of the second alternator which is generated during operation of the second alternator, introduced into the soil surrounding the second alternator.
  • the heating of the soil improved or supported by the second alternator arranged in the ground Conversion losses, which occur in the second alternator, thus remain in the reservoir or in the ground.
  • the first and second alternators are arranged symmetrically along the conductor loop.
  • the first conductor portion extends from the first alternator to the second alternator and the second conductor portion extends from the second alternator back to the first alternator.
  • the first and second conductor sections have approximately the same conductor length. Consequently, by means of the two alternating current generators, there is a symmetrical energization of the conductor loop with respect to the length of the conductor loop.
  • the voltage amplitudes at the alternators and / or in the first and second conductor sections are advantageously approximately halved compared to a simple energization.

  • the conversion losses of the frequency converter which typically amount to one to ten percent of the total power of the frequency converter, are delivered to the ground.
  • the conversion losses are introduced directly into the soil, whereby this additionally heats up.
  • the first and second alternator have a distance of at least 100 m.
  • a phase-coupled operation of the first and second alternator is characterized in that the phase difference between the phase of the first and second alternating current is not or only rarely varies in time.
  • the phase difference between the first and second alternating current is preferably 0 ° or 180 °, with the same polarity of the alternators 0 ° and 180 ° is preferred with opposite polarity of the alternators. This advantageously ensures that an addition of the voltage amplitudes and not a mutual extinction (difference) of the voltage amplitudes of the alternators takes place.
  • the first and second alternating current are generated at the same frequency.
  • the conductor loop is subjected to a first and / or second alternating current, wherein the frequency of the first and / or second alternating current is in the range of 10 kHz to 200 kHz.
  • a frequency in the range of 10 kHz to 200 kHz which corresponds to the resonant frequency of the conductor loop, wherein for forming an electrical resonant circuit, the conductor loop comprises at least one capacitor. This can be done a reactive power compensation.
