Oil and gas field production is an important pillar industry for economic development. In recent years, with the development of science and technology, the application of automated instruments and meters in oil and gas field production has become increasingly widespread, and has played a key role in improving the efficiency of oil and gas field production management. The dissemination and advocacy of the concept of energy conservation and emission reduction have prompted the reform and innovation of the application mode of automated instruments and meters in oil and gas field production, in order to adapt to the needs of environmental protection development.

Automation instruments and meters; Oil and gas field production; As an indispensable part of the oilfield production system, energy-saving measures are crucial for instruments and meters in various stages of the oil and gas field, fully reflecting their functions such as accurate display, detection, control of various parameters, safety chain protection, and data analysis. In the actual use of instruments, if the equipment can always be in a stable and reliable state, it can more scientifically and efficiently control the entire production process.

Therefore, many oil and gas field units regard automated instruments as an important means to understand and control oil and gas field production.

When applying automated instruments and meters for measurement and management of oil and gas field production data, it is necessary to control the outlet flow rate of the centrifugal pump well. In order to achieve reasonable control of the outlet flow rate of the centrifugal pump, a regulator is generally needed. Only by setting scientifically effective PID values can targeted control be achieved for the opening flow rate of the regulating valve. Although this regulation method can achieve flexible flow control, it also has obvious shortcomings. On the one hand, due to the fact that using this regulator regulation technology requires a large amount of energy to be consumed during actual work, the economic cost also increases, which does not meet the actual goal of saving energy consumption. On the other hand, due to the installation of a shut-off valve on the outlet side of the centrifugal pump, which is used in conjunction with the regulating valve to achieve the effect of outlet pump flow control, this also puts forward corresponding practical requirements for the pump and usage conditions. It is necessary to choose a centrifugal pump with a higher rated power to meet the actual needs of load changes. From this perspective, it not only does not reduce energy consumption, but also increases energy consumption, which has an impact on the application of automated instruments and meters in oil and gas field production. Adverse effects. In response to this problem, frequency conversion energy-saving regulators provide an ideal solution. With the continuous development of science and technology, the application range of frequency conversion energy-saving regulators is becoming wider and wider, not only in oil and gas field production industries, but also in other industrial fields. Applying them to the oil and gas field production automation control system of automated instruments and meters can not only improve the operating efficiency of automation equipment, but also achieve the goal of energy conservation. The main implementation method of variable frequency energy-saving regulator is to select the pressure drop on the pump and regulating valve according to certain standards and principles, combined with the variable frequency regulator, to form a relatively complete automated regulation system, thereby improving the overall operating efficiency of the equipment. This method can reduce electricity consumption by about 30%, and the energy-saving effect is very significant. In addition, there are many advantages of variable frequency regulation devices, which are not only reflected in installation, but also in performance. They can achieve flexible control of pump flow rate, speed, etc., and improve the performance of automation equipment systems in oil and gas field production.

When selecting automatic instruments with no pressure loss or low pressure loss for testing fluid flow, energy-saving devices have significant pressure loss during their actual testing process, and the utilization rate of energy-saving devices is high, about 70%. With the development of society, environmental protection and energy conservation have become contemporary theme words. Therefore, in the industrial field, zero pressure loss and low pressure loss instruments have received widespread attention. Especially in recent years, the application effects of vortex flow meters and uniform velocity tube flow meters have been relatively good, with significant advantages. It has the characteristics of low cost, minimal pressure loss, and easy installation, and has been praised by frontline operators in various oil and gas fields. Therefore, the selection of instruments is an important part of oil and gas field design. While considering instrument performance, energy conservation should also be taken into account. Through research and innovation, manufacturing more environmentally friendly and energy-saving instruments has become a new development direction in the instrument industry.

The current era is already the era of informatization, and computer information technology has been applied to various aspects of life, and its application in industrial production is also very extensive. In the current production of oil and gas fields, the rational and scientific use of computer information technology to achieve digitalization of oil and gas field production can improve the work and production efficiency of oil and gas fields. For example, the digital application in pumping wells integrates the ability to collect, transmit, and remotely control real-time data, greatly improving production efficiency, saving human resources, reducing risks in the production process, and reducing costs such as electricity consumption, resulting in a corresponding reduction in equipment wear and tear. The construction of digital oil and gas fields is the future development trend, and attention should be paid to the application of computer information technology in oil and gas fields, because computer information technology is the control center of automated instruments and meters.

Currently, energy conservation has become an important theme in oil and gas field production, as well as an important direction for its future development. Therefore, automation instrument and meter technology has undergone tremendous innovation and is constantly developing towards energy conservation and emission reduction. The use of automated instruments and meters in oil and gas field production can effectively reduce resource waste. In the operation of instruments and meters, further energy conservation and emission reduction can be achieved, which is also a fundamental condition that modern oil and gas field production must have.
