Choke Manifold Control Panel

Working principle of choke manifold control panel

The choke manifold control panel can operate stably, relying on a set of precise and efficient working mechanisms.

Data acquisition: Sensors are like the "sensing tentacles" of the control panel, distributed at key positions of the wellhead and choke manifold system. Pressure sensors, temperature sensors, flow sensors, etc. each perform their duties, capturing the changes in parameters such as pressure, temperature, and flow in the system in real time, and quickly converting these physical signals into electrical signals or other convenient signal forms for transmission, and transmitting them to the control system.

Data analysis and command generation: The control system is the "smart brain" of the entire device. After receiving the signal from the sensor, it will quickly and accurately analyze and process the data according to the preset program and safety threshold. Once a parameter abnormality is detected, such as the wellhead pressure exceeds the normal range, the control system will immediately calculate the throttle opening that needs to be adjusted and issue precise control instructions to the actuator.

Command execution: The actuator is the "executor" of the control system command, mainly composed of various valves and pumps. After receiving the command, the actuator responds quickly, by adjusting the opening of the throttle valve, changing the flow area of the fluid, thereby achieving precise control of parameters such as wellhead pressure and flow. For example, when it is necessary to reduce the wellhead pressure, the actuator will increase the throttle valve opening to allow more fluid to pass smoothly, thereby reducing the wellhead pressure and maintaining the bottom hole pressure balance.
