Abstract:

Oil field emergence shutdown system (ESD) is a very important compositional part in the oil field automation, which can avoid and limit the damage or hurt to facility, production system, operators and environment due to production technique problem or other problems, insures that the production system can safely work. The structure of the ESD system and some of safety standards used in the ESD system design, as well as some standards and rules for ESD system design by home and abroad organisation are introduced. The basic requirement is given on design and model selection aiming at oilfield automation ESD system, and practical case is presented about the application of ESD system in oilfield.

Key words: Oilfield, ESD system, Control, Application
