Fluid loss control additives are critical constituents in a cement slurry formulation to ensure even cement placement and ultimately satisfactory zonal isolation. Many technological options have been developed over the past decades to design fluid loss control additives for cementing. The most popular technologies as of today are either based on water soluble polymers or colloidal particles like latexes. As an alternative approach, in this paper we introduce a new technology based on associative or "sticky" microgels. These microgels are able to associate with one another at elevated concentration but, more surprisingly, are also able to associate under shear in the dilute regime during a filtration process. As a consequence these additives demonstrate outstanding performance as fluid loss control agents. This study focuses first on standard API filtration tests using sticky microgels, and on how their behavior in application differs from traditional systems, in particular water-based soluble polymers such as cellulosic derivatives or synthetic polymers. Our investigations then focus on the working mechanism of the microgel system by analyzing adsorption on the cement surface, rheology, and filter cake structure using Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry (MIP). Finally the behavior of sticky microgels in model filtration tests is explored with either filtration against porous ceramic discs or using microfluidic chips allowing a direct visualization of microgels during filtration. This study demonstrates that associative microgels are not controlling fluid loss through a simple size match between particles and pores within the filter cake but rather through shear-induced aggregation. Microfluidic observations reveal that aggregation occurs irreversibly as microgels are forced through the pores as the filtration process occurs. The shear-induced associated gels are particularly effective at reducing dramatically the filter cake permeability and allowing gas migration control. Interestingly the shear-induced aggregation of associative μgels seems to confer self-adaptive properties of the fluid loss additives with respect to the pore network to be clogged. Indeed, formation of shear aggregated gels larger than the individual microgels can be used to limit fluid loss even if the pore sizes are much larger than the individual microgels.
防滤失添加剂是水泥浆配方中的关键成分,可以确保均匀的水泥充填,最终实现满意的层间隔离。在过去的几十年里,人们开发了许多技术选择来设计用于固井的防滤失添加剂。到目前为止,最流行的技术要么是基于水溶性聚合物,要么是基于乳胶等胶体颗粒。作为一种替代方法,在本文中我们介绍了一种基于结合或“粘性”微凝胶的新技术。这些微凝胶能够在高浓度下相互结合,但更令人惊讶的是,在过滤过程中,这些微凝胶也能够在稀释状态下在剪切下结合。因此,这些添加剂表现出优异的失滤剂性能。本研究首先关注使用粘性微凝胶的标准API过滤测试,以及它们在应用中的行为与传统系统的不同之处,特别是水溶性聚合物,如纤维素衍生物或合成聚合物。通过汞侵入孔隙度法(MIP)分析微凝胶体系在水泥表面的吸附、流变学和滤饼结构,研究了微凝胶体系的工作机理。最后,粘性微凝胶在模型过滤试验中的行为进行了探索,无论是对多孔陶瓷片过滤或使用微流控芯片允许过滤过程中微凝胶的直接可视化。这项研究表明,结合微凝胶不是通过过滤饼内颗粒和孔隙之间的简单尺寸匹配来控制流体损失,而是通过剪切诱导的聚集来控制流体损失。微流控观察显示,当过滤过程发生时,微凝胶被迫通过孔隙时,聚集发生不可逆。剪切诱导的相关凝胶在显著降低滤饼渗透率和控制气体运移方面特别有效。有趣的是,剪切诱导的结合μ凝胶聚集似乎赋予了失滤剂相对于被堵塞的孔网络的自适应特性。事实上,即使孔隙尺寸比单个微凝胶大得多,也可以使用比单个微凝胶大得多的剪切聚集凝胶来限制流体损失。

Interpretation Challenges and Solutions for Real-Time Asphaltene Paramagnetic Sensing at the Wellhead 井口实时沥青质顺磁传感的解释挑战与解决方案

Asphaltene deposition presents a significant flow assurance to oil production in many parts of the Middle East and beyond. Until recently, there had been no intervention-free approach to monitor deposition in the asphaltene affected wells. This prompted ADNOC to sponsor MicroSilicon to develop of an intervention less real-time sensor device to monitor asphaltene deposition. This new state-of-the-art device is currently installed and automatically collecting data at the wellhead and nearby facilities of an ADNOC operated field. Historic ways of measuring asphaltene in oil relied upon laboratory processes that extracted the asphaltene using a combination of solvents and gravimetric techniques. Paramagnetic techniques offer a potentially simpler alternative because it is known that the spins per gram of an oil is a constant property of that oil, at least when the oil is at constant temperature and pressure. Taking the device to the field means that any interpretation needs to be made independent of these properties. Additionally, the fluid entering the sensor is multiphase and subject to varying temperature and pressure which raises challenges for the conversion of raw spectroscopic data into asphaltene quantity and particle size. These challenges were addressed with a combination of hardware, software and cloud-based machine learning technologies. Oil from over two dozen wells has been sampled in real-time and confirmed that the asphaltene percentage does not just vary from well to well but is also a dynamic aspect of production, with some wells having relatively constant levels and others showing consistent variation. One other well was placed on continuous observation and showed a decrease in asphaltene level following a choke change at the surface. Diagnostic data enhanced by machine learning complements the asphaltene measurement and provides a much more complete picture of the flow assurance challenge than had been previously been available.
沥青质沉积为中东及其他地区的石油生产提供了重要的流动保证。直到最近,还没有一种无需干预的方法来监测受沥青质影响的井的沉积情况。这促使ADNOC赞助MicroSilicon开发一种无需干预的实时传感器设备,以监测沥青质沉积。这种最新的先进设备目前安装在ADNOC运营油田的井口和附近设施,并自动收集数据。历史上测量石油中沥青质的方法依赖于实验室过程,使用溶剂和重量技术相结合的方法提取沥青质。顺磁技术提供了一种可能更简单的替代方法,因为已知每克油的自旋是该油的恒定特性,至少当油处于恒定的温度和压力下时是这样。将设备带到现场意味着任何解释都需要独立于这些属性。此外,进入传感器的流体是多相的,并且受到不同温度和压力的影响,这给将原始光谱数据转换为沥青质数量和粒度带来了挑战。这些挑战是通过硬件、软件和基于云的机器学习技术的结合来解决的。对20多口井的石油进行了实时采样,并确认沥青质百分比不仅随井而异,而且是生产的动态方面,一些井的水平相对恒定,而另一些井则呈现出持续的变化。对另一口井进行了连续观察,发现在地面发生节流后,沥青质水平有所下降。通过机器学习增强的诊断数据补充了沥青质的测量,并提供了比以前更完整的流动保证挑战的图像。

Ensemble Data Analytics Approaches for Fast Parametrization Screening and Validation 用于快速参数化筛选和验证的集成数据分析方法

Ensemble approaches are increasingly used for history matching also with large scale models. However, the iterative nature and the high computational resources required, demands careful and consistent parameterization of the initial ensemble of models, to avoid repeated and time-consuming attempts before an acceptable match is achieved. The objective of this work is to introduce ensemble-based data analytic techniques to validate the starting ensemble and early identify potential parameterization problems, with significant time saving. These techniques are based on the same definition of the mismatch between the initial ensemble simulation results and the historical data used by ensemble algorithms. In fact, a notion of distance among ensemble realizations can be introduced using the mismatch, opening the possibility to use statistical analytic techniques like Multi-Dimensional Scaling and Generalized Sensitivity. In this way a clear and immediate view of ensemble behavior can be quickly explored. Combining these views with advanced correlation analysis, a fast assessment of ensemble consistency with observed data and physical understanding of the reservoir is then possible. The application of the proposed methodology to real cases of ensemble history matching studies, shows that the approach is very effective in identifying if a specific initial ensemble has an adequate parameterization to start a successful computational loop of data assimilation. Insufficient variability, due to a poor capturing of the reservoir performance, can be investigated both at field and well scales by data analytics computations. The information contained in ensemble mismatches of relevant quantities like water-breakthrough and Gas-Oil-ratio is then evaluated in a systematic way. The analysis often reveals where and which uncertainties have not enough variability to explain historical data. It also allows to detect what is the role of apparently inconsistent parameters. In principle it is possible to activate the heavy iterative computation also with an initial ensemble where the analytics tools show potential difficulties and problems. However, experiences with large scale models point out that the possibility to obtain a good match in these situations is very low, leading to a time-consuming revision of the entire process. On the contrary, if the ensemble is validated, the iterative large-scale computations achieve a good calibration with a consistency that enables predictive ability. As a new interesting feature of the proposed methodology, ensemble advanced data analytics techniques are able to give clues and suggestions regarding which parameters could be source of potential history matching problems in advance. In this way it is possible anticipate directly on initial ensemble the uncertainties revision for example modifying ranges, introducing new parameters and better tuning other ensemble factors, like localization and observations tolerances that contro
集成方法越来越多地用于历史匹配,也用于大尺度模型。然而,迭代性质和所需的高计算资源要求对模型的初始集合进行仔细和一致的参数化,以避免在获得可接受的匹配之前进行重复和耗时的尝试。这项工作的目的是引入基于集成的数据分析技术,以验证启动集成并早期识别潜在的参数化问题,从而节省大量时间。这些技术基于对初始集成模拟结果与集成算法使用的历史数据之间不匹配的相同定义。事实上,可以使用不匹配引入集成实现之间的距离概念,从而开启了使用多维尺度和广义灵敏度等统计分析技术的可能性。通过这种方式,可以快速地探索集成行为的清晰和直接的视图。将这些观点与先进的相关性分析相结合,就可以快速评估集合与观测数据的一致性,并了解储层的物理性质。将该方法应用于集成历史匹配研究的实际案例表明,该方法在识别特定初始集成是否具有足够的参数化以启动成功的数据同化计算循环方面非常有效。通过数据分析计算,可以在油田和井的尺度上研究由于油藏动态捕捉不佳而导致的变异性不足。然后系统地评价水侵、气油比等相关量的总错配信息。这种分析常常揭示出哪些地方和哪些不确定性没有足够的可变性来解释历史数据。它还允许检测明显不一致的参数的作用。原则上,在分析工具显示潜在困难和问题的初始集合中,也可以激活繁重的迭代计算。然而,大型模型的经验指出,在这些情况下获得良好匹配的可能性非常低,导致整个过程的耗时修订。相反,如果集成得到验证,迭代大规模计算获得了良好的校准,具有一致性,从而实现了预测能力。作为提出的方法的一个有趣的新特性,集成高级数据分析技术能够提前给出关于哪些参数可能是潜在历史匹配问题的来源的线索和建议。通过这种方式,可以直接预测初始集成的不确定性修正,例如修改范围,引入新参数和更好地调整其他集成因素,如控制最终匹配质量的定位和观测公差。

Asphaltene deposition is a serious and re-occurring flow assurance problem in several of the ADNOC onshore oilfields. Fluids are intrinsically unstable with respect to asphaltene precipitation, and operating conditions are such that severe deposition occurs in the wellbore. Wells in ADNOC are generally not equipped with downhole chemical injection lines for continuous inhibition, and protection of the wells require frequent shut-in and intervention by wireline and coiled tubing to inspect and clean up. Since some of the mature fields are under EOR recovery strategies, like miscible hydrocarbon WAG and CO2 flood, which exacerbates the asphaltene precipitation and deposition problems, a more robust mitigation strategy is required. In this paper the results of two different mitigation strategies will be discussed; continuous injection of asphaltene inhibitor via a capillary line in the tubular and asphaltene inhibitor formation squeeze. Three asphaltene inhibitors from different suppliers were pre-qualified and selected for field trial. Each inhibitor was selected for a formation squeeze in both one horizontal and one vertical well, and one of the inhibitors was applied via thru-tubing capillary string. The field trials showed that continuous injection in remote wells with no real-time surveillance options (e.g. gauges, flow meters) is technically challenging. The continuous injection trial via the capillary string was stopped due to technical challenges. From the six formation squeezes four were confirmed to be effective. Three out of fours squeezes significantly extended the production cycle, from approximately 1.4 to 6 times the normal uninhibited flow period. The most successful squeezes were in the vertical wells. The results of the trial were used to model the economic benefit of formation squeeze, compared to a ‘do-nothing’ approach where the wells are subject to shut-in and cleanup once the production rates drop below a threshold value. The model clearly indicates that the squeezes applied in ADNOC Onshore are only cost-effective if it extends the normal flow period by approximately three times. However, a net gain can be achieved already if the formation squeeze extends the flow cycle by 15 to 20%, due to reduction of shut-in days required for intervention. Therefore, the results in this paper illustrate that an asphaltene inhibitor formation squeeze can be an attractive mitigation strategy, both technically and economically.
在ADNOC的几个陆上油田中,沥青质沉积是一个严重且反复发生的流动保障问题。流体在沥青质沉淀方面本质上是不稳定的,并且在作业条件下,井筒中会发生严重的沉积。ADNOC的油井通常没有配备井下化学注入管线来进行连续抑制,而油井的保护需要经常关井,并通过电缆和连续油管进行干预,以进行检查和清理。由于一些成熟油田采用了EOR采收率策略,如混相油气WAG和CO2驱,这加剧了沥青质的沉淀和沉积问题,因此需要更强大的缓解策略。本文将讨论两种不同缓解策略的结果;通过油管中的毛细管连续注入沥青烯抑制剂和沥青烯抑制剂地层挤压。来自不同供应商的三种沥青烯抑制剂通过了资格预审,并被选中进行现场试验。在一口水平井和一口直井中,每种抑制剂都被选择用于地层挤压,其中一种抑制剂通过过油管毛细管管柱施加。现场试验表明,在没有实时监控选项(如仪表、流量计)的偏远井中连续注入在技术上具有挑战性。由于技术问题,通过毛细管管柱的连续注入试验被叫停。在6次地层挤压中,有4次被证实是有效的。四分之三的挤压显著延长了生产周期,从正常无抑制流动周期的1.4倍增加到6倍。最成功的挤压是在直井中。试验结果用于模拟地层挤压的经济效益,与“什么都不做”的方法相比,一旦产量降至阈值以下,井就需要关井和清理。该模型清楚地表明,ADNOC陆上应用的挤压只有在将正常流动周期延长约三倍的情况下才具有成本效益。然而,由于干预所需的关井天数减少,如果地层挤压将流动周期延长15%至20%,则可以实现净收益。因此,本文的研究结果表明,沥青质抑制剂地层挤压在技术和经济上都是一种有吸引力的缓解策略。

Recovery Factor Improvement (RFI) is a process to check the hydrocarbon production efficiency by incorporating the actual static and dynamic field data, as well as the way how the field being operated. This has been a common process within Shell's portfolio since 2018 (Ref; Muggeridge et al., 2013 & Smalley et al., 2009). The approach has been developed to stimulate the identification of new opportunities to increase the recovery from the existing fields and to aid the maturation of these opportunities into the Opportunity Realization Process. There are four (4) factors that affected overall reservoir recovery factor, they are: Pressure efficiency; related to which pressure can be reduced in the reservoir as dictated by the relevant facilities and wells.Drainage Efficiency; the proportion of the in-place hydrocarbon that is pressure-connected directly to at least one producing well on a production timescale.The "secondary pay" efficiency; takes into account the volumes of poorer quality rock in which the gas remains at pressure above the lowest pressure just outside the wellbore (Pf) when the reservoir is abandoned.Cut-off Efficiency; the proportion of hydrocarbon that is lost due to non-production of the tail.This approach was applied in the dry gas Natih Reservoir fields in the PDO concession area. Before the implementation of RFI, the average recovery factor for Natih was around 70%. This was considered low for a homogenous-dry gas reservoir. The targeted Natih fields were benchmarked against each other with a total of 11 fields with similar reservoir properties. Post the benchmarking exercise, the expected field recovery factor is approximately ~90-93%. The team managed to map out the opportunities to achieve the targeted RF and identified the road map activities. The activities are mainly related to: production optimization: retubing, re-stimulation reduce drainage: infill drilling, horizontal well reduce the field intake through compression The outcome of the mapping was then further analyzed through integrated framework to be matured as a firm-project. The new proposed activities are expected to add around 9% additional recovery to the existing fields. There will be a remaining activities which will be studied in the future, example infill wells and intelligent completions. These will close the gap to TQ and add other addition RF of 11-13%. As conclusion, the RFI was seen as a structured approach to better understanding the field recovery factor based on the integrated surface and subsurface data with a robust analysis to trigger opportunity identification linked to RFI elements. It is similar concept as sweating the asset by generating limit diagram for each recovery mechanism & the road map to achieve the maximum limit. This paper will highlight the Natih Fields RFI analysis, highlighting the key learning and challenges.
采收率提高(RFI)是通过结合实际的静态和动态油田数据以及油田的操作方式来检查油气生产效率的过程。自2018年以来,这一直是壳牌投资组合中的一个常见过程。Muggeridge et al., 2013; Smalley et al., 2009)。开发该方法的目的是促进对新机会的识别,以提高现有油田的采收率,并帮助这些机会的成熟进入机会实现过程。影响整体油藏采收率的因素有4个,分别是:压力效率;与此相关的压力可以根据相关设施和井的要求降低。排水效率;在一个生产时间尺度上,与至少一口生产井直接压力连接的原位烃的比例。“二次支付”效率;考虑到当放弃储层时,气体保持在高于井外最低压力(Pf)的质量较差岩石的体积。截止效率;由于尾部不生产而损失的碳氢化合物的比例。该方法应用于PDO特许区的Natih干气储层。在实施RFI之前,Natih的平均采收率约为70%。对于均质干气储层来说,这被认为是较低的。目标Natih油田与11个具有相似储层性质的油田进行了基准测试。在进行基准测试后,预期的采收率约为90-93%。该小组设法规划出实现目标射频的机会,并确定了路线图活动。这些活动主要涉及:优化产量、换油管、再增产、减少排水、填充钻井、水平井、通过压缩减少油田进水量。然后,通过综合框架进一步分析绘制结果,使其成为一个成熟的公司项目。新的活动预计将使现有油田的采收率增加约9%。还有一些活动将在未来进行研究,例如填充井和智能完井。这些将缩小与TQ的差距,并增加11-13%的其他附加RF。综上所述,RFI被视为一种结构化的方法,可以更好地理解基于地面和地下综合数据的油田采收率,并通过强大的分析来触发与RFI元素相关的机会识别。这类似于通过为每个恢复机制生成极限图和实现最大极限的路线图来使资产出汗的概念。本文将重点介绍Natih Fields的RFI分析,重点介绍关键的学习和挑战。

In challenging times of 2020 and inconsistency with the background of a low-oil-price environment, innovative ideas needed to give a second life to all available resources such as unconventional, shallow, depleted, mature, heavy oil and by bypassed oil with a cost-effective manner (usually innovation created to fit needs). U-shaped well a combined with pigging lifting (conceptual study for new artificial lift method) is one of the selected scenarios studied under the objective of innovative, low-cost techniques to overcome many projects challenges. U shaped well accompanied with a new pigging artificial lift method are new concept studied in this lab work. Conceptual model presents many benefits of this new application such as solving most of the current wells and production challenges. The study reflects more well control with two paths, better well stimulation, low fracturing pressure and double rates, inject and lift chemical for clean without intervention, double well life "additional strings", new recompletions without rig, two horizontal side used for production or injection, step change for reservoir monitoring, improving artificial lift performance and allow creating Pigging lift "New artificial lift concept". U shaped well accompanied with a new pigging artificial lift method study shows the following progress: 1. Additional down hole barrier from the deepest point and additional open side keep the well under control more over minimize the existing well control killing procedures with low cost and risk in addition to discarding the CT operations for killing or prepare the well for W/O. 2. Decreasing stimulation pressures needs (double injection rates) and overcome the existing accessibility challenges 3. Allowing pull heading stimulation w/less displacement time and high rate and chimerical batch pumping from one side to another increase well life and eliminate PKRs risk as chimerical batches will be pigger, easier and faster. 4. Additional down hole monitoring system allowing uniform stimulation and discarding the CT operations for well stimulation and cleaning, 5. Avoiding post stimulation damage throughout fast clean-up 6. Ability to stimulate from one side with artificial lift from other side Avoiding the corrosion and erosion by faster operations 7. Allow faster plug and perf. multistage fracturing technology and overcome the unconventional well fracturing which required rate and pressure 8. Eliminate rig usage to pull the frac string to run completions 9. Step change for reservoir mentoring without S/D and real-time Logging, Sampling The deployment of U Shaped Well allows new artificial lift concept (Pigging lift) to apply. This new approach led to improved wells performance also raising efficiency of the use of the existing resources besides saving time and in return cost. This approach helps in improving well utilization and efficiency levels.
在2020年充满挑战的时期,与低油价环境的背景不一致,需要创新的想法,以具有成本效益的方式为所有可用资源(如非常规、浅层、枯竭、成熟、重油和旁路油)提供第二次生命(通常是为了满足需求而创造的创新)。u型井与清管举升相结合(新型人工举升方法的概念研究)是研究的目标之一,其目标是创新、低成本的技术,以克服许多项目挑战。U型井配合人工举升清管新方法是本实验室研究的新概念。概念模型展示了这种新应用的许多优点,例如解决了大多数当前的井和生产挑战。该研究反映了通过两条路径实现更好的井控、更好的增产、更低的压裂压力和两倍的产量、无需干预即可进行清洁的注入和举升化学物质、延长井寿命的“额外管柱”、无需钻机的新完井、用于生产或注入的两个水平侧、用于油藏监测的阶梯变化、提高人工举升性能,并允许创建清管举升“新的人工举升概念”。U形井伴随人工举升清管新方法的研究取得了以下进展:除了放弃连续油管压井作业或为W/O做准备外,还可以在最深点和额外的开放侧增加井下屏障,使井处于控制之下,从而最大限度地减少现有的井控压井程序,降低成本和风险。2. 降低增产压力需求(双倍注入速率),克服现有的可达性挑战。采用拉拔式增产作业,减少了驱油时间,提高了速度,从一边到另一边的化学批量泵送增加了井的寿命,消除了pkr风险,因为化学批次将更容易、更快捷。4. 额外的井下监测系统,可以实现均匀增产,而无需进行连续油管增产和清洁作业。在快速清理过程中避免增产后的损害。能够从一侧进行增产,从另一侧进行人工举升,避免了快速作业带来的腐蚀和侵蚀。允许更快的桥塞和射孔。多级压裂技术,克服了非常规压裂对速率和压力的要求。避免使用钻机拉起压裂管柱进行完井作业。U形井的部署使新的人工举升概念(清管举升)得以应用。这种新方法不仅改善了油井性能,还提高了现有资源的使用效率,节省了时间和回采成本。这种方法有助于提高井的利用率和效率水平。

This paper covers practical demulsifer and wash water approach followed by Saudi Aramco Khurais producing facility to optimize the chemical and water consumption. This Paper is intended to: Share practical demulsifer and wash water optimization approach. Highlight how this approach enhanced the separation process and how it already helped Saudi Aramco to meet the product quality with minimal operating costs by optimizing operating parameters in the field. The basic idea of the optimization is to relax the oil - emulsified water separation in HPPT by allowing water carry over to the downstream equipment and vessels through minimizing the demulsifer dosage on the production header to increase the retention time. The optimization process includes manipulating different key parameters (controlled variables) which are demulsifer dosing rate (on production header and dehydrator), wash water dosing rate, de-salting train mixing valves differential pressure and transformers voltage with continues monitoring and corrective actions based on the export specification of BS&W and salts within pre-defined internal limits to avoid having off-spec product (Trial and Error) This approach resulted in decreasing the operating costs by reducing overall demulsifer dosage by 50%, and allowing the overall separation efficiency to be increased contributing towards enhanced separation. Various graphs included showing the full impact of optimizing the operating parameters on improved separation in dehydrator. From the water conservation, this process resulted in reducing non-potable wash water consumption for crude washing purposes by more than 20,000 gallon/day without compromising the crude specification. This optimization resulted in cost saving equivalent to around US$ 650,000 due to significant demulsifer reduction. Sustaining such an optimum performance proves to be a challenge and in this regard, the team is focusing heavily on the monitoring efforts that are equipped with the advisory features on what to do should the deviation exist from the stipulated target. This includes, among others, the alerting feature for immediate corrective actions by the team. Overall, this initiative succeeded in maintaining the facility crude quality specifications of BS&W and salts while reducing chemical operating costs, creating positive environmental impacts by saving non-potable wash water while increasing the assets utilization and reliability effectively.
本文介绍了沙特阿美公司Khurais生产设施采用的实用破乳剂和洗洗水方法,以优化化学品和水的消耗。本文旨在:分享实用的破乳剂和洗涤水优化方法。强调这种方法如何增强分离过程,以及如何通过优化现场操作参数,帮助沙特阿美公司以最小的运营成本满足产品质量。优化的基本思想是通过减少生产集管上的破乳剂用量来增加保留时间,从而允许水携带到下游设备和容器,从而放松HPPT中油乳化水的分离。优化过程包括操纵不同的关键参数(受控变量),即破乳剂加药率(在生产集管和脱水机上)、洗涤水加药率、在预先设定的内部限制范围内,根据BS&W和盐的出口规格,持续监测和纠正措施,以避免出现不合规格的产品(试验和错误)。这种方法通过减少50%的破乳剂总用量,降低了运营成本,并提高了整体分离效率,从而增强了分离效果。各种图表显示了优化操作参数对脱水机分离效果的全面影响。从节约用水的角度来看,该工艺在不影响原油规格的情况下,每天减少了超过20,000加仑的用于原油洗涤的非饮用洗涤用水。由于破乳剂的显著减少,这一优化节省了大约65万美元的成本。维持这样的最佳绩效证明是一项挑战,在这方面,该小组将重点放在监测工作上,这些工作配备了咨询功能,说明如果与规定的目标存在偏差,该如何做。这包括团队立即采取纠正措施的警报功能。总体而言,这一举措成功地保持了BS&W和盐的设施质量标准,同时降低了化学操作成本,通过节省非饮用水洗涤水产生了积极的环境影响,同时有效地提高了资产利用率和可靠性。

The paper shares a 4-years’ experience of "Gazprom Neft" PJSC on Digital Twin Learning Program in training of holistic multidisciplinary petroleum asset management and engineering based on the on-line cloud PetroCup software facility. The objective of the program was to train and test large amounts of managers and engineers with minimum off-work time and motivate self-improvement among the employee. The program includes warm-up videos, immersive master-classes, training courses, discussion clubs and Annual Corporate Championship, with a strong focus on home learning, remote communication, simulation-based exercises and automated testing/certification. The program is divided into Master Development Planning (MDP) and Well & Reservoir Management (WRM) domains which are related to different stages of the petroleum asset lifecycle. The interaction with simulator takes 2-3 days for WRM and 5 days for MDP and engages a multidisciplinary team: asset manager, economist, contract engineer, surface facility engineer, reservoir engineer, geologist, petrophysicist, simulation engineer, well test engineer, well and log analyst and production technologist. The session starts by reading the existing field data and its history and then perform well drilling, completions, workovers, well tests, open-hole and cased-hole logging, manage production and injection targets, build/modify the surface production/injection facilities and receive the fully automated asset response in the form of the field reports, very much in the same way as in real life. Once session is over the simulator generates a detailed debriefing report on team performance in numerous areas: economical, production, injection, reservoir and well performance so that team can understand where it did a good job and where it was not efficient. The current paper shows how this facility has been integrated into the corporate staff capability program, expanded to anchor universities and shed the light to the future perspectives.
本文分享了“Gazprom Neft”PJSC在数字孪生学习计划上4年的经验,该计划基于在线云PetroCup软件设施培训整体多学科石油资产管理和工程。该计划的目标是在最短的下班时间内培训和测试大量的经理和工程师,并激励员工自我提升。该计划包括热身视频、沉浸式大师班、培训课程、讨论俱乐部和年度企业冠军赛,重点是家庭学习、远程通信、模拟练习和自动化测试/认证。该项目分为总体开发规划(MDP)和油井与油藏管理(WRM)两个领域,涉及石油资产生命周期的不同阶段。WRM与模拟器的交互需要2-3天,MDP需要5天,需要多学科团队的参与:资产经理、经济学家、合同工程师、地面设施工程师、油藏工程师、地质学家、岩石物理学家、模拟工程师、试井工程师、井和测井分析师以及生产技术人员。首先,阅读现有的现场数据及其历史数据,然后进行钻井、完井、修井、试井、裸眼和套管井测井,管理生产和注入目标,建立/修改地面生产/注入设施,并以现场报告的形式接收全自动资产响应,与现实生活中的方式非常相似。一旦作业结束,模拟器就会生成一份详细的小组业绩汇报报告,包括经济、生产、注入、油藏和井况,这样团队就可以了解自己在哪些方面做得好,哪些方面效率不高。目前的论文展示了该设施如何被整合到企业员工能力计划中,扩展到锚定大学,并为未来的前景提供了启示。

Single-Phase Retarded Inorganic Acid Optimizes Remediation of Drilling Formation Damage in High-Temperature Openhole Horizontal Carbonate Producer 单相缓凝无机酸优化修复高温裸眼水平井碳酸盐岩钻井地层损害

In high-temperature carbonate producers, conventional hydrochloric (HCl) acid systems have been ineffective at delivering sustainable production improvement due to their kinetics. Retarded acids are deemed necessary to control the reaction and create effective wormholes. This scenario is even more critical in wells completed across long openhole horizontal intervals due to reservoir heterogeneity, changing downhole dynamics, and uniform acid placement goals. Out of the different retarded acid options, emulsified acid is one of the preferred choices by Middle East operators because of its excellent corrosion inhibition and deep wormhole penetration properties. However, it also brings other operational complexities, such as higher friction pressures, reduced pump rates, and more elaborate mixing procedures, which in some cases restrict its applicability. The recent introduction of a single-phase retarded inorganic acid system (SPRIAS) has enabled stimulation with the same benefits as emulsified acids while eliminating its drawbacks, allowing friction pressures like that of straight HCl and wormholing performance equivalent to that of emulsified acid. A newly drilled oil producer in one of the largest carbonate fields in onshore Middle East was selected by the operator for pilot implementation of the SPRIAS as an alternative to emulsified acid. The candidate well featured significant damage associated with drilling, severely affecting its productivity. The well was completed across 3,067 ft of 6-in. openhole horizontal section, with a bottomhole temperature of 285°F, permeability range of 0.5 to 1.0 md, and an average porosity of 15%. Coiled tubing (CT) equipped with fiber optics was selected as the fluid conveyance method due to its capacity to enable visualization of the original fluid coverage through distributed temperature sensing (DTS), thus allowing informed adjustment of the stimulation schedule as well as identification of chemical diversion and complementary fluid placement requirements. Likewise, lower CT friction pressures from SPRIAS enabled the utilization of high-pressure jetting nozzle for enhanced acid placement, which was nearly impossible with emulsified acid. Following the acidizing treatment, post-stimulation DTS showed a more uniform intake profile across the uncased section; during well testing operations, the oil production doubled, exceeding the initial expectations.

在高温碳酸盐岩生产中,由于其动力学特性,传统的盐酸(HCl)酸体系在持续提高产量方面是无效的。缓速酸被认为是控制反应和创造有效虫洞所必需的。由于储层非均质性、井下动态变化和均匀的酸化目标,这种情况在长裸眼水平井段的完井中更为关键。在不同的缓速酸选择中,乳化酸是中东作业者的首选之一,因为它具有优异的缓蚀性和深虫孔穿透性能。然而,它也带来了其他的操作复杂性,例如更高的摩擦压力、更低的泵速、更复杂的混合程序,这些在某些情况下限制了它的适用性。最近引入的单相缓速无机酸体系(SPRIAS),在消除了乳化酸的缺点的同时,实现了与乳化酸相同的增产效益,使摩擦压力与纯HCl一样,虫孔性能与乳化酸相当。在中东陆上最大的碳酸盐岩油田中,作业者选择了一家新钻探的石油生产商,将SPRIAS作为乳化酸的替代品进行试点。该候选井在钻井过程中受损严重,严重影响了产能。该井的井径为3067英尺(6英寸)。裸眼水平井段,井底温度为285°F,渗透率范围为0.5 ~ 1.0 md,平均孔隙度为15%。选择配备光纤的连续油管(CT)作为流体输送方法,是因为它能够通过分布式温度传感(DTS)实现原始流体覆盖范围的可视化,从而可以明智地调整增产计划,并确定化学转移和补充流体投放需求。同样,SPRIAS的连续油管摩擦压力较低,使得高压喷射喷嘴能够增强酸的放置,这在乳化酸中几乎是不可能的。在酸化处理之后,增产后的DTS在未套管段显示出更均匀的进气剖面;在试井作业期间,原油产量翻了一番,超出了最初的预期。与乳化酸相比,SPRIAS可使连续油管摩擦压力降低40%,增产液体积优化20%,混合时间缩短18小时。该试验井获得的经验证实,SPRIAS是该地区替代乳化酸的可靠选择。除了提高产量外,这种新型流体还通过消除柴油运输简化了物流,从而减少了设备和环境足迹。它还减少了摩擦,从而可以通过连续油管进行高压喷射,从而以更小的体积实现更有效的增产。

Retarded acids are deemed necessary to control the reaction and create effective wormholes. This scenario is even more critical in wells completed across long openhole horizontal intervals due to reservoir heterogeneity, changing downhole dynamics, and uniform acid placement goals.\u0000 Out of the different retarded acid options, emulsified acid is one of the preferred choices by Middle East operators because of its excellent corrosion inhibition and deep wormhole penetration properties. However, it also brings other operational complexities, such as higher friction pressures, reduced pump rates, and more elaborate mixing procedures, which in some cases restrict its applicability. The recent introduction of a single-phase retarded inorganic acid system (SPRIAS) has enabled stimulation with the same benefits as emulsified acids while eliminating its drawbacks, allowing friction pressures like that of straight HCl and wormholing performance equivalent to that of emulsified acid.\u0000 A newly drilled oil producer in one of the largest carbonate fields in onshore Middle East was selected by the operator for pilot implementation of the SPRIAS as an alternative to emulsified acid. The candidate well featured significant damage associated with drilling, severely affecting its productivity. The well was completed across 3,067 ft of 6-in. openhole horizontal section, with a bottomhole temperature of 285°F, permeability range of 0.5 to 1.0 md, and an average porosity of 15%. Coiled tubing (CT) equipped with fiber optics was selected as the fluid conveyance method due to its capacity to enable visualization of the original fluid coverage through distributed temperature sensing (DTS), thus allowing informed adjustment of the stimulation schedule as well as identification of chemical diversion and complementary fluid placement requirements. Likewise, lower CT friction pressures from SPRIAS enabled the utilization of high-pressure jetting nozzle for enhanced acid placement, which was nearly impossible with emulsified acid. Following the acidizing treatment, post-stimulation DTS showed a more uniform intake profile across the uncased section; during well testing operations, the oil production doubled, exceeding the initial expectations. The SPRIAS allowed a 40% reduction in CT friction pressures compared to emulsified acid, 20% optimization in stimulation fluids volume, and reduced mixing time by 18 hours.\u0000 The experience gained with this pilot well confirmed the SPRIAS as a reliable option to replace emulsified acids in the region.
