物联网技术在天然气产业链中的作用与发展趋势

Internet of things promotes the upgrade of the natural gas industry chain

物联网是新一代信息技术的重要组成部分。天然气产业链上中下游正在积极引进和采用物联网技术搭建信息化管理平台。基于数字化技术和物联网技术开发而成的天然气勘探开发一体化应用平台和油气田数字化生产管理系统已经有效地提高了天然气产业上游的生产效率,并在长庆气田发挥了突出作用;基于工业物联网和远程通信技术的数据采集与集中监控平台是天然气管道运行和优化管理的核心,有效地促进天然气中游储运产业效率的提升;下游天然气利用的城市燃气等行业若引进物联网技术,实时采集居民用户的用气以及购气动态,可有效地提高燃气行业运行与营销的平衡水平,提高效率。根据产业经济中产业升级的理论,生产效率的提高有效地促进了上、中、下游产业的升级,进而促进天然气产业链的整体升级和进步。未来,物联网技术应以天然气全产业链为对象,整合上中下游各种信息,极大限度地发挥出物联网的技术优势。

The Internet of Things is an important part of the new generation of information technology. In recent years,the Internet of Things technology is gradually driving the energy industry＇s development and technological progress as well as productivity enhancement,especially the natural gas industry. Based on the digitization technology and the Internet of Things technology, natural gas exploration and development integration application platform and the natural gas digitized production management system have effectively improve the productivity of natural gas upstream industry; Based on Internet of Things and the digitization technology, the natural gas pipeline management platform is the core technology of gas pipeline operation and management system, it can effectively promote the upgrade of operating efficiency in the natural gas storage and transportation industry; After the implementation of the Internet of Things technology in the downstream of gas industry, the real-time metering and marketing data of every end user would be automatically acquired, it will help to balance the production and the consumption and it would be possible to implement the so called ＂consumer management＂. According to the industrial upgrading definition in the industrial economy, improving the production efficiency of natural gas industry chain can contribute effectively to the upstream and midstream as well as downstream industries upgrading, thus contributing to the overall upgrade of the natural gas industry chain.
