A detailed description of a modified Archie's equation is proposed to accurately quantify water saturation within low resistivity/low contrast pay carbonates. The majority of previous work on low resistivity/low contrast reservoirs focused on clastics, namely, thin beds and/or clay effects on resistivity measurements. Recent publications have highlighted a "non-Archie" behavior in carbonates with complex pore structures. Several theoretical models were introduced, but new practical applications were not derived to solve this issue. Built upon previous theoretical research in a holistic approach, new models and workflows have been developed. Specifically, utilizing a combination of machine learning algorithms, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), core and geological data, field specific calibrated equations to compute water saturation (Sw) in complex carbonate formations are presented. Essentially, these new models partition the porosity into pore spaces and calculate their relative contribution to water saturation in each pore space. These calibrated equations robustly produce results that have proven invaluable in pay identification, well placement, and have greatly enhanced the ability to manage these types of reservoirs. This paper initially explains the theory behind the development of the analysis illustrating workflows and validation techniques used to qualify this methodology. A key benefit performing this research is the utilization of machine-learning algorithms to predict NMR derived values in wells that do not have NMR data. Several examples explore where results of this analysis are compared to dynamic testing, formation testing and laboratory measured samples to validate and demonstrate the utility of this new analysis.
提出了一种改进的Archie方程的详细描述,以准确量化低电阻率/低对比度储层碳酸盐岩中的含水饱和度。以前关于低电阻率/低对比储层的大部分工作都集中在碎屑上,即薄层和/或粘土对电阻率测量的影响。最近的出版物强调了具有复杂孔隙结构的碳酸盐的“非阿奇”行为。介绍了几种理论模型,但没有推导出新的实际应用来解决这一问题。建立在以前的理论研究在一个整体的方法,新的模型和工作流程已经开发。具体来说,利用机器学习算法、核磁共振(NMR)、岩心和地质数据的组合,给出了计算复杂碳酸盐岩地层含水饱和度(Sw)的特定校准方程。从本质上讲,这些新模型将孔隙度划分为孔隙空间,并计算它们对每个孔隙空间含水饱和度的相对贡献。这些经过校准的方程产生的结果在储层识别、井眼布置方面具有非常重要的价值,并大大提高了管理这类油藏的能力。本文首先解释了分析开发背后的理论,说明了用于验证该方法的工作流和验证技术。进行这项研究的一个关键优势是利用机器学习算法来预测没有核磁共振数据的井的核磁共振衍生值。通过将分析结果与动态测试、地层测试和实验室测量样品进行比较,验证和展示了这种新分析的实用性。

Well integrity has become a crucial field with increased focus and being published intensively in industry researches. It is important to maintain the integrity of the individual well to ensure that wells operate as expected for their designated life (or higher) with all risks kept as low as reasonably practicable, or as specified. Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) models are used intensively in oil and gas industry nowadays. ML concept is based on powerful algorithms and robust database. Developing an efficient classification model for well integrity (WI) anomalies is now feasible because of having enormous number of well failures and well barrier integrity tests, and analyses in the database. Circa 9000 dataset points were collected from WI tests performed for 800 wells in Gulf of Suez, Egypt for almost 10 years. Moreover, those data have been quality-controlled and quality-assured by experienced engineers. The data contain different forms of WI failures. The contributing parameter set includes a total of 23 barrier elements. Data were structured and fed into 11 different ML algorithms to build an automated systematic tool for calculating imposed risk category of any well. Comparison analysis for the deployed models was performed to infer the best predictive model that can be relied on. 11 models include both supervised and ensemble learning algorithms such as random forest, support vector machine (SVM), decision tree and scalable boosting techniques. Out of 11 models, the results showed that extreme gradient boosting (XGB), categorical boosting (CatBoost), and decision tree are the most reliable algorithms. Moreover, novel evaluation metrics for confusion matrix of each model have been introduced to overcome the problem of existing metrics which don't consider domain knowledge during model evaluation. The innovated model will help to utilize company resources efficiently and dedicate personnel efforts to wells with the high-risk. As a result, progressive improvements on business, safety, environment, and performance of the business. This paper would be a milestone in the design and creation of the Well Integrity Database Management Program through the combination of integrity and ML.
井的完整性已经成为一个重要的领域,越来越受到关注,并在行业研究中被大量发表。保持单口井的完整性非常重要,以确保井在其指定寿命(或更长时间)内按预期运行,并将所有风险保持在合理可行或指定的最低水平。如今,机器学习(ML)和人工智能(AI)模型在油气行业得到了广泛应用。机器学习的概念是基于强大的算法和强大的数据库。由于数据库中有大量的井失效和井屏障完整性测试和分析数据,因此开发有效的井完整性(WI)异常分类模型现在是可行的。在埃及苏伊斯湾进行了近10年的800口井的WI测试,收集了大约9000个数据点。此外,这些数据已由经验丰富的工程师进行质量控制和质量保证。数据中包含不同形式的WI故障。所述贡献参数集共包括23个屏障元件。数据被结构化并输入到11种不同的ML算法中,以构建一个自动系统工具,用于计算任何井的强加风险类别。对已部署的模型进行比较分析,以推断可依赖的最佳预测模型。11种模型包括监督和集成学习算法,如随机森林、支持向量机(SVM)、决策树和可扩展的增强技术。在11个模型中,结果表明极端梯度增强(XGB)、分类增强(CatBoost)和决策树是最可靠的算法。此外,本文还引入了新的模型混淆矩阵评价指标,克服了现有评价指标在评价模型时不考虑领域知识的问题。这种创新的模式将有助于有效利用公司资源,并将人力投入到高风险井中。因此,业务,安全,环境和业务绩效的逐步改善。通过完整性和ML的结合,这篇论文将成为油井完整性数据库管理程序设计和创建的一个里程碑。

Optimizing the number of casing strings has a direct impact on cost of drilling a well. The objective of the case study presented in this paper is the demonstration of reducing cost through integration of data. This paper shows the impact of high-resolution 3D geomechanical modeling on well cost optimization for the GS327 Oil field. The field is located in the Sothern Gulf of Suez basin and has been developed by 20 wells The conventional casing design in the field included three sections. In this mature field, especially with the challenge of reducing production cost, it is imperative to look for opportunites to optimize cost in drilling new wells to sustain ptoduction. 3D geomechanics is crucial for such cases in order to optimize the cost per barrel at the same time help to drill new wells safely. An old wellbore stability study did not support the decision-maker to merge any hole sections. However, there was not geomechanics-related problems recorded during the drilling the drilling of different mud weights. In this study, a 3D geomechanical model was developed and the new mud weight calculations positively affected the casing design for two new wells. The cost optimization will be useful for any future wells to be drilled in this area. This study documents how a 3D geomechanical model helped in the successful delivery of objectives (guided by an understanding of pore pressure and rock properties) through revision of mud weight window calculations that helped in optimizing the casing design and eliminate the need for an intermediate casing. This study reveals that the new calculated pore pressure in the GS327 field is predominantly hydrostatic with a minor decline in the reservoir pressure. In addition, rock strength of the shale is moderately high and nearly homogeneous, which helped in achieving a new casing design for the last two drilled wells in the field.
套管柱数量的优化直接影响到钻井成本。本文提出的案例研究的目的是通过数据集成来降低成本。本文展示了高分辨率三维地质力学建模对GS327油田油井成本优化的影响。该油田位于苏伊斯湾盆地南部,已经开发了20口井,该油田的常规套管设计包括三段。在这一成熟油田,特别是在降低生产成本的挑战下,必须寻找机会优化钻井成本,以维持生产。在这种情况下,为了优化每桶成本,同时有助于安全钻探新井,三维地质力学至关重要。老的井筒稳定性研究不支持决策者合并任何井段。然而,在不同泥浆密度的钻井过程中,没有记录到与地质力学相关的问题。在这项研究中,开发了一个三维地质力学模型,新的泥浆比重计算对两口新井的套管设计产生了积极的影响。成本优化对于未来在该地区钻探的任何井都是有用的。该研究记录了3D地质力学模型如何通过修正泥浆比重窗口计算,帮助优化套管设计,消除对中间套管的需求,从而成功实现目标(在了解孔隙压力和岩石性质的指导下)。研究表明,GS327油田新计算的孔隙压力以流体静力压力为主,储层压力略有下降。此外,页岩的岩石强度中等且几乎均匀,这有助于在该油田的最后两口井中实现新的套管设计。

Numerical Investigation on Low Salinity Augmented Microbial Flooding LSAMF within a Sandstone Core for Enhanced Oil Recovery Under Nonisothermal and Fluctuating pH Conditions 非等温和波动pH条件下砂岩岩心内低盐度增强微生物驱油LSAMF提高采收率数值研究

In an era of increasing energy demand, declining oil fields and fluctuating crude oil prices globally, most oil companies are looking forward to implementing cost effective and environmentally sustainable enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques such as low salinity waterflooding (LSWF) and microbial EOR (MEOR). The present study numerically investigates the combined influence of simultaneous LSWF and microbial flooding for in-Situ MEOR in tertiary mode within a sandstone core under spatiotemporally fluctuating pH and temperature conditions. The developed black oil model consists of five major coupled submodels: nonlinear heat transport model; ion transport coupled with multiple ion exchange (MIE) involving uncomplexed cations and anions; pH variation with salinity and temperature; coupled reactive transport of injected substrates, Pseudomonas putida and produced biosurfactants with microbial maximum specific growth rate varying with temperature, salinity and pH; relative permeability and fractional flow curve variations due to interfacial tension reduction and wettability alteration (WA) by LSWF and biofilm deposition. The governing equations are solved using finite difference technique. Operator splitting and bisection methods are adopted to solve the MIE-transport model. The present model is found to be numerically stable and agree well with previously published experimental and analytical results. In the proposed MIE-transport mechanism, decreasing injection water salinity (IWS) from 2.52 to 0.32 M causes enhanced Ca2+ desorption rendering rock surface towards more water wet. Consequently, oil relative permeability (kro) increases with >55% reduction in water fractional flow (fw) at water saturation of 0.5 from the initial oil-wet condition. Further reducing IWS to 0.03 M causes Ca2+ adsorption shifting the surface wettability towards more oil-wet thus increasing fw by 52%. Formation water salinity (FWS) showed minor impact on WA with <5% decrease in fw when FWS is reduced from 3.15 to 1.05 M. During LSAMF, biosurfactant production is enhanced by >63% on reducing IWS from 2.52 to 0.32 M with negligible increase on further reducing IWS and FWS. This might be due to limiting nonisothermal (40 to 55 °C) and nutrient availability conditions. LSAMF caused significant WA, increase in kro with fw reduction by >84%. Though pH increased from 8.0 to 8.9, it showed minor impact on microbial metabolism. Formation damage due to bioplugging observed near injection point is compensated by effective migration of biosurfactants deep within sandstone core. The present study is a novel attempt to show synergistic effect of LSAMF over LSWF in enhancing oil mobility and recovery at core scale by simultaneously addressing complex crude oil-rock-brine chemistry and critical thermodynamic parameters that govern MEOR efficiency within a typical sandstone formation. The present model with relatively lower computational cost and running time improves the predictive
在能源需求不断增加、油田数量不断减少、全球原油价格波动的时代,大多数石油公司都希望采用经济高效、环境可持续的提高采收率(EOR)技术,如低矿化度水驱(LSWF)和微生物提高采收率(MEOR)技术。本研究通过数值模拟研究了在时空波动的pH和温度条件下,砂岩岩心内同时发生LSWF和微生物驱油对第三纪模式下原位MEOR的综合影响。所建立的黑油模型包括五大耦合子模型:非线性热输运模型;离子传输耦合多重离子交换(MIE),涉及未络合的阳离子和阴离子;pH值随盐度和温度的变化;微生物最大比生长率随温度、盐度和pH值的变化而变化;LSWF和生物膜沉积导致界面张力降低和润湿性改变(WA)的相对渗透率和分数流动曲线变化。采用有限差分法求解控制方程。采用算子分割和二分法求解mie传输模型。该模型在数值上是稳定的,并且与以前发表的实验和分析结果吻合得很好。在提出的mie输运机制中,注入水矿化度(IWS)从2.52 M降低到0.32 M,导致Ca2+解吸增强,使岩石表面更湿润。因此,当含水饱和度为0.5时,与初始油湿状态相比,油相对渗透率(kro)增加,水分流(fw)减少55%以上。进一步降低IWS至0.03 M, Ca2+吸附使表面润湿性更亲油,从而使fw增加52%。地层水盐度(FWS)对WA的影响较小,将IWS从2.52 M降低到0.32 M的影响为63%,进一步降低IWS和FWS的影响可以忽略不计。这可能是由于限制非等温(40至55°C)和营养物质的可用性条件。LSAMF引起了显著的WA, kro增加,fw降低>84%。pH值从8.0增加到8.9,但对微生物代谢的影响较小。在注入点附近观察到的生物堵塞对地层的损害,可以通过生物表面活性剂在砂岩岩心深处的有效运移来补偿。本研究是一项新颖的尝试,旨在通过同时解决典型砂岩地层中复杂的原油-岩石-盐水化学和控制MEOR效率的关键热力学参数,展示LSAMF与LSWF在提高岩心尺度原油流动性和采收率方面的协同效应。该模型具有较低的计算成本和运行时间,提高了预测能力,为成功实现LSAMF预先选择潜在的候选者。

Assessment of Water Saturation Using Dielectric Permittivity Measurements in Formations with Complex Pore Structure: Application to the Core- and Log- Scale Domains 用介电常数测量评价复杂孔隙结构地层的含水饱和度:在岩心尺度和对数尺度领域的应用

Broadband dielectric dispersion measurements are attractive options for assessment of water-filled pore volume, especially when quantifying salt concentration is challenging. However, conventional models for interpretation of dielectric measurements such as Complex Refractive Index Model (CRIM) and Maxwell Garnett (MG) model require oversimplifying assumptions about pore structure and distribution of constituting fluids/minerals. Therefore, dielectric-based estimates of water saturation are often not reliable in the presence of complex pore structure, rock composition, and rock fabric (i.e., spatial distribution of solid/fluid components). The objectives of this paper are (a) to propose a simple workflow for interpretation of dielectric permittivity measurements in log-scale domain, which takes the impacts of complex pore geometry and distribution of minerals into account, (b) to experimentally verify the reliability of the introduced workflow in the core-scale domain, and (c) to apply the introduced workflow for well-log-based assessment of water saturation. The dielectric permittivity model includes tortuosity-dependent parameters to honor the complexity of the pore structure and rock fabric for interpretation of broadband dielectric dispersion measurements. We estimate tortuosity-dependent parameters for each rock type from dielectric permittivity measurements conducted on core samples. To verify the reliability of dielectric-based water saturation model, we conduct experimental measurements on core plugs taken from a carbonate formation with complex pore structures. We also introduce a workflow for applying the introduced model to dielectric dispersion well logs for depth-by-depth assessment of water saturation. The tortuosity-dependent parameters in log-scale domain can be estimated either via experimental core-scale calibration, well logs in fully water-saturated zones, or pore-scale evaluation in each rock type. The first approach is adopted in this paper. We successfully applied the introduced model on core samples and well logs from a pre-salt formation in Santos Basin. In the core-scale domain, the estimated water saturation using the introduced model resulted in an average relative error of less than 11% (compared to gravimetric measurements). The introduced workflow improved water saturation estimates by 91% compared to CRIM. Results confirmed the reliability of the new dielectric model. In application to well logs, we observed significant improvements in water saturation estimates compared to cases where a conventional effective medium model (i.e., CRIM) was used. The documented results from both core-scale and well-log-scale applications of the introduced method emphasize on the importance of honoring pore structure in the interpretation of dielectric measurements.
宽带介质色散测量是评估充水孔隙体积的有吸引力的选择,特别是当定量盐浓度具有挑战性时。然而,用于解释介电测量的传统模型,如复折射率模型(CRIM)和麦克斯韦·加内特模型(MG),对孔隙结构和构成流体/矿物分布的假设过于简化。因此,在存在复杂孔隙结构、岩石成分和岩石组构(即固体/流体组分的空间分布)的情况下,基于介电的含水饱和度估计往往不可靠。本文的目标是:(a)提出一个简单的工作流程,用于解释对数尺度域的介电常数测量,其中考虑了复杂孔隙几何形状和矿物分布的影响;(b)实验验证了引入的工作流程在岩心尺度域的可靠性;(c)将引入的工作流程应用于基于测井的含水饱和度评估。介质介电常数模型包括与弯曲相关的参数,以考虑孔隙结构和岩石结构的复杂性,用于解释宽带介电色散测量。我们通过对岩心样品进行介电常数测量来估计每种岩石类型的弯曲相关参数。为了验证基于介质的水饱和度模型的可靠性,我们对具有复杂孔隙结构的碳酸盐地层的岩心塞进行了实验测量。我们还介绍了将引入的模型应用于介电色散测井的工作流程,以便逐层评估含水饱和度。测井尺度域的扭曲相关参数可以通过岩心尺度校准、完全含水区域的测井曲线或每种岩石类型的孔隙尺度评估来估计。本文采用第一种方法。我们成功地将引入的模型应用于Santos盆地盐下地层的岩心样品和测井曲线。在核心尺度域,使用引入的模型估算含水饱和度的平均相对误差小于11%(与重力测量相比)。与CRIM相比,引入的工作流程将含水饱和度估算提高了91%。结果证实了新介电模型的可靠性。在应用于测井资料时,我们观察到与使用传统有效介质模型(即CRIM)相比,含水饱和度估算结果有显著改善。所介绍的方法在岩心尺度和测井尺度上的应用结果都强调了在介电测量解释中考虑孔隙结构的重要性。

However, conventional models for interpretation of dielectric measurements such as Complex Refractive Index Model (CRIM) and Maxwell Garnett (MG) model require oversimplifying assumptions about pore structure and distribution of constituting fluids/minerals. Therefore, dielectric-based estimates of water saturation are often not reliable in the presence of complex pore structure, rock composition, and rock fabric (i.e., spatial distribution of solid/fluid components). The objectives of this paper are (a) to propose a simple workflow for interpretation of dielectric permittivity measurements in log-scale domain, which takes the impacts of complex pore geometry and distribution of minerals into account, (b) to experimentally verify the reliability of the introduced workflow in the core-scale domain, and (c) to apply the introduced workflow for well-log-based assessment of water saturation.\u0000 The dielectric permittivity model includes tortuosity-dependent parameters to honor the complexity of the pore structure and rock fabric for interpretation of broadband dielectric dispersion measurements. We estimate tortuosity-dependent parameters for each rock type from dielectric permittivity measurements conducted on core samples. To verify the reliability of dielectric-based water saturation model, we conduct experimental measurements on core plugs taken from a carbonate formation with complex pore structures. We also introduce a workflow for applying the introduced model to dielectric dispersion well logs for depth-by-depth assessment of water saturation. The tortuosity-dependent parameters in log-scale domain can be estimated either via experimental core-scale calibration, well logs in fully water-saturated zones, or pore-scale evaluation in each rock type. The first approach is adopted in this paper.\u0000 We successfully applied the introduced model on core samples and well logs from a pre-salt formation in Santos Basin. In the core-scale domain, the estimated water saturation using the introduced model resulted in an average relative error of less than 11% (compared to gravimetric measurements). The introduced workflow improved water saturation estimates by 91% compared to CRIM. Results confirmed the reliability of the new dielectric model. In application to well logs, we observed significant improvements in water saturation estimates compared to cases where a conventional effective medium model (i.e., CRIM) was used.

The Cement Packer approach has been successfully implemented to pursue and monetize minor gas reservoirs of poorer quality. Due to its critical role in power supply to meet the nation's needs, license to operate gas fields oftentimes come with contractual obligations to deliver a certain threshold of gas capacity. The cement packer method is a cheaper alternative to workovers that enables operators to build gas capacity by monetizing minor gas reservoirs at lower cost. Group 1 reservoirs are the shallowest hydrocarbon bearing sand with poorer reservoir quality and relatively thin reservoirs. The behind-casing-opportunities in Minor Group-1 reservoirs previously required a relatively costly pull-tubing rig workover to monetize the reservoir. Opportunities in two wells were optimized from pull –tubing rig workovers to a non-rig program by implementing Cement Packer applications. The tubing was punched to create tubing-casing communication and cement was subsequently pumped through the tubing and into the casing. The hardened cement then acted as a barrier to satisfy operating guidelines. The reservoir was then additionally perforated, flow tested and successfully monetized at a lower cost. Tubing and casing integrity tests prior to well entry demonstrated good tubing and casing integrity. This is critical to ensure that cement will only flow into the casing where the tubing was punched. Once the cement hardened, pressure test from the tubing and from the casing indicated that the cement has effectively isolated both tubulars. Subsequent Cement Bond Log and Ultrasonic Imaging Tool showed fair to good cement above the target perforation depth. These data supported the fact that the cement packer was solid and the reservoir was ready for additional perforation. Taking into account the reservoir quality, it was decided to perforate the reservoir twice with the biggest gun available to ensure the lowest skin possible. Post perforation, there was a sharp increase in the tubing pressure indicating pressure influx from the reservoir. Despite that, casing pressure remained low, confirming no communication and thus the success of the cement packer.The well was later able to unload naturally due to its high reservoir pressure, confirming the producibility of the reservoirs and unlocking similar opportunities in other wells. Additionally, the cement packer approach delivered tremendous cost savings between $6 – 8 mil per well. Besides confirming the reservoirs' producibility,the success also unlocked additional shallow gas behind casing opportunities in the area.This method will now be the first-choice option to monetize any hydrocarbon resources in reservoirs located above the top packer.
水泥封隔器方法已经成功地用于寻找和开发质量较差的小型气藏。由于天然气在满足国家需求的电力供应中发挥着关键作用,因此,获得运营天然气田的许可证通常伴随着合同义务,即提供一定的天然气容量门槛。水泥封隔器方法是一种成本更低的修井替代方法,可以使作业者以更低的成本将小型气藏货币化,从而提高天然气产能。1组储层为含油气最浅的砂层,储层质量较差,储层相对较薄。此前,Minor Group-1油藏的后套管作业需要相对昂贵的拉油管钻机修井作业来实现储层的货币化。通过实施水泥封隔器,对两口井的作业机会进行了优化,从拉油管钻机修井到非钻机作业。通过冲孔将油管与套管连通,随后将水泥通过油管泵入套管。硬化后的水泥作为屏障,满足操作要求。然后对储层进行射孔、流量测试,并以较低的成本成功实现了货币化。入井前的油管和套管完整性测试表明油管和套管完整性良好。这对于确保水泥只流入打孔油管的套管至关重要。水泥硬化后,对油管和套管进行压力测试,结果表明水泥有效地隔离了两根管柱。随后的水泥胶结测井和超声成像工具显示,在目标射孔深度上方,水泥胶结良好。这些数据表明,水泥封隔器是坚固的,储层已经准备好进行额外的射孔作业。考虑到储层的质量,决定使用最大的射孔枪对储层进行两次射孔,以确保尽可能低的表皮。射孔后,油管压力急剧增加,表明储层有压力流入。尽管如此,套管压力仍然很低,证实没有通井,因此水泥封隔器成功了。由于储层压力高,该井后来能够自然卸载,确认了储层的产能,并为其他井创造了类似的机会。此外,水泥封隔器方法还为每口井节省了600万至800万美元的成本。除了确认储层的产能外,该井的成功还为该地区提供了更多的浅层天然气套管机会。这种方法现在将成为开发顶部封隔器上方任何油气资源的首选方法。

This paper aims to present user experience survey results of innovative software assessment technologies available in the market aimed in evaluating risks of industrial-related ergonomic hazards. The scope covers industrial ergonomics softwares currently available for purchase where time-limited free trial is offered, particularly those that utilize 3D Motion Capture Assessment which relies on kinematic inputs aided by non-invasive computer technology and artificial intelligence, and makes use of pre-determined weightings based on biomechanical risk factors. In light of the inclusion criterion, six industrial ergonomics softwares were considered. User field trials were conducted during January to September 2020 among 10 Occupational Health Subject Matter Experts (OH SME) coming from seven oil and gas Group Companies. Each OH SME attended a product demonstration by the shortlisted software vendor, participated in software trial at their respective workplaces, and provided feedback on the software's usability by filling out a survey questionnaire. OH SME responses were then collected for further qualitative analyses. Three of the eligible softwares relied on photo snapshot capturing work activity where subsequent analysis is done through competent professional judgment of qualitative risk. Another three were dependent on 3D Motion Capture Assessment where upper and lower limb motions of employees are digitally captured, recorded, and analyzed. Two of the softwares utilized sensors attached to different parts of employee's body, while one relied on Android/Smartphone snapshot of work activity and analyzed by the software's algorithm. Analyses of OH SME feedback revealed majority of them (n = 7) preferred using 3D Motion Capture Assessment over professional judgment of qualitative risk as an effective tool in evaluation of industrial work-related ergonomic risks. 3D Motion Capture Assessment provided accurate measurements of employee joint postures and postural angles. The tool ensured consistency in risk scoring for a particular industrial-related work activity as the calculation is standardized. The tool's algorithm is aligned with globally accepted assessment tools in evaluating ergonomic risks which enhances its validity. OH SMEs have expressed concerns on use of Android/Smartphone in Critical Infrastructure and Coastal Protection Authority facilities, training time needed in learning the software, and repetitive use of motion sensors among different employees which may lead to personal hygiene issues. 3D Motion Capture Assessment is a novel ergonomics software tool that can be used in real-time and accurate evaluation of ergonomic risks arising from industrial work-related activities. It can replace observational assessment of a work activity that may be prone to professional judgment errors. However, more validation and reliability studies need to be done in future as well as determining association between ergonomics risk scores obtained
本文旨在介绍市场上现有的创新软件评估技术的用户体验调查结果,旨在评估工业相关的人体工程学危害风险。范围涵盖目前可购买的工业人体工程学软件,提供有时间限制的免费试用,特别是那些利用3D运动捕捉评估的软件,该软件依赖于非侵入性计算机技术和人工智能辅助的运动学输入,并利用基于生物力学风险因素的预先确定的权重。根据纳入标准,考虑了6种工业人机工程学软件。2020年1月至9月期间,来自7家石油和天然气集团公司的10名职业健康主题专家(OH SME)进行了用户现场试验。每个OH中小企业都参加了入围软件供应商的产品演示,在各自的工作场所参与了软件试用,并通过填写调查问卷对软件的可用性提供了反馈。然后收集OH SME的回复进行进一步的定性分析。三个合格的软件依赖于照片快照捕获工作活动,其中后续分析是通过合格的定性风险专业判断完成的。另外三个依赖于3D动作捕捉评估,其中员工的上肢和下肢动作被数字捕获,记录和分析。其中两款软件使用了附着在员工身体不同部位的传感器,而另一款软件依赖于安卓/智能手机的工作活动快照,并通过软件的算法进行分析。对OH SME反馈的分析显示,他们中的大多数(n = 7)更倾向于使用3D动作捕捉评估而不是定性风险的专业判断作为评估工业工作相关的人体工程学风险的有效工具。3D动作捕捉评估提供了员工关节姿势和姿势角度的精确测量。随着计算标准化,该工具确保了特定工业相关工作活动风险评分的一致性。该工具的算法与全球公认的评估人体工程学风险的评估工具一致,提高了其有效性。中小企业对在关键基础设施和海岸保护局设施中使用Android/智能手机、学习软件所需的培训时间,以及不同员工重复使用运动传感器可能导致个人卫生问题表示关注。3D运动捕捉评估是一种新型的人体工程学软件工具,可用于实时准确地评估工业工作相关活动产生的人体工程学风险。它可以取代可能容易产生专业判断错误的工作活动的观察性评估。然而,未来需要进行更多的验证和可靠性研究,以及确定从软件获得的人体工程学风险评分与工作相关肌肉骨骼疾病患病率之间的关系。

Incorporation of Neutrally Buoyant Proppants in Horizontal Unconventional Wells to Increase Propped Fracture Area Results for Substantially Improved Well Productivity and Economics 在非常规水平井中加入中性浮力支撑剂,增加支撑裂缝面积,显著提高油井产能和经济效益

Hydraulic fracturing stimulation of unconventional wells employing large volumes of sand in low viscosity fluids provides propped fracture conductivity in less than 25% of the created fracture area, primarily because of poor sand transport mechanics. The remaining unpropped area is at best only marginally productive using the conventional sand/slickwater hydraulic fracturing process alone. Near-neutrally buoyant proppants (NBPs, ASG 1.055) have proven to be highly effective in accessing production from fracture area that is otherwise left unpropped. Fracture models illustrate the propped fracture area of designs incorporating NBPs is improved to over 85% of the created fracture area. Production simulations of typical slickwater and sand frac designs supplemented with NBPs at 3% by weight of sand distributed evenly throughout the slurry stages show cumulative production increases of 20% to greater than 50% compared to the large volume slickwater/sand treatments without NBPs. Efforts have been directed to justification of the incremental expense involved with the NBP applications and assessment of the associated value-added economic metrics, including the value of the realized incremental production vs. time, the payback time for recovery of the incremental costs, and Return on Investment (ROI). For example, in a 2018 trial of NBP wells in the Middle Bakken formation of North Dakota, the production uplift observed for NBP wells achieved payback of the incremental costs in an average of 26 days; the 1-year cumulative oil production of the NBP wells averaged 69,632 barrels greater than control wells, resulting in a 25% uplift compared to the offset control wells. The Year 1 Return on Investment (ROI) for the drilling and completion costs of the first Middle Bakken well with NBP was 97% versus 64% for the sand-only control wells. Controlled multi-stage horizontal completions of wells with sand-only have been evaluated against wells utilizing NBPs in the application have been executed within several unconventional plays, including the Permian and Williston basins. The performance of the NBP wells have consistently validated the production uplift predictions of the production simulation models. The case studies analyzed herein expand the economic assessment of the NBP stimulation designs by including production analyses quantitative comparison of Net Present Value, production decline rates, and projected EURs of the NBP wells and non-NBP offset wells.
非常规井的水力压裂增产作业采用了低粘度流体中的大量砂粒,其支撑裂缝的导流能力不到裂缝面积的25%,主要原因是砂粒输运力学不佳。仅使用常规的砂/滑溜水水力压裂工艺,剩余的未打底区域充其量只能达到边际产量。近中性浮力支撑剂(NBPs, asg1.055)已被证明在压裂区域的生产中非常有效。裂缝模型表明,采用NBPs的设计可将支撑裂缝面积提高到现有裂缝面积的85%以上。在典型的滑溜水和砂压裂设计中,在整个泥浆阶段均匀分布的砂的重量为3%,添加NBPs的生产模拟显示,与不添加NBPs的大体积滑溜水/砂处理相比,累积产量增加了20%至50%以上。努力的方向是证明与NBP应用相关的增量费用的合理性,并评估相关的增值经济指标,包括实现的增量生产与时间的价值、增量成本的回收回收期和投资回报率(ROI)。例如,在2018年北达科他州Middle Bakken地层的NBP井试验中,观察到NBP井的产量提升平均在26天内实现了增量成本的回报;NBP井的1年累计产油量平均比控制井高出69,632桶,与邻距控制井相比,产量提升了25%。采用NBP技术的第一口Middle Bakken井第一年的钻完井投资回报率(ROI)为97%,而纯砂控制井为64%。在包括Permian和Williston盆地在内的几个非常规油藏中,对使用nbp的水平井进行了多段含砂完井控制评估。NBP井的生产表现一致地验证了生产模拟模型的产量提升预测。本文分析的案例研究通过对NBP井和非NBP井的净现值、产量递减率和预计eur的产量分析定量比较,扩展了NBP增产设计的经济评估。

Until recently many of the wells on US land that were drilled using Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) technology utilized one size fits all equipment designed for the offshore market. Since the cost and personnel requirements needed to run the offshore manifolds became a challenge due to market conditions and Covid-19 restrictions, the drillers sought a cost effective and simpler system to conduct their day-to- day operations. The challenge was to drill long laterals in Permian and Haynesville without losing the necessary MPD functionality that proved beneficial to reduce the risks associated with safety and to enhance drilling efficiency. For the MPD control system experts, the task was to correctly identify and automate MPD system’s functionality that would be of greatest use to the drillers to sustain their drilling performance. The concept of developing an easier to operate control system was undertaken wherein system accuracy and precision was maintained at the forefront of the development process. Electric motors/actuators and necessary drivers that could work directly on rig power were selected and tested. Control system logic that operates the chokes was modified to quickly adapt to the changes in drilling conditions, maintaining the necessary accuracy. This was done by studying and understanding drillers activities and behaviors like automated pump ramp down speed during connections, pipe movement during tripping etc. Specific MPD engineering charts, simple to decipher graphs, and necessary calculation tables were developed for the drillers to use for managing bottomhole pressures. Calculations which included specific schedules for spotting weighted pills were provided to maintain simplicity of the operations and something the drillers could easily execute. Today, many drillers are using this MPD solution to drill long laterals (Hovland et.al 2020). This trend is slowly leading to reduction of rig MPD personnel, especially during Covid-19, while the drillers are getting familiar with and operating MPD systems. A few of the crucial items that have allowed the drillers to run MPD on their own include MPD controls connected to drilling automation systems and the subsequent continuous revision of these controls based on understanding drillers tasks and needs. The use of electric motors enabled quick adoption to the changing drilling conditions while making connections, tripping etc. The furnished MPD calculations and graphs that drillers could follow for applying required MPD choke pressures kept MPD adaption simpler. The modifications made to the MPD choke controls geared towards facilitating necessary automation enabled the drillers to get trained in few days and operate the MPD systems while maintaining the same level of speed and performance.
直到最近,美国陆地上许多使用控压钻井(MPD)技术的井都采用了针对海上市场设计的“一刀切”设备。由于市场条件和新冠肺炎疫情的限制,海上管汇的成本和人员需求成为一个挑战,钻井公司寻求一种成本效益高、更简单的系统来进行日常作业。面临的挑战是在不失去必要的MPD功能的情况下钻探Permian和Haynesville的长水平段,这有助于降低与安全相关的风险,提高钻井效率。对于MPD控制系统专家来说,他们的任务是正确识别MPD系统的功能,并使其自动化,以最大限度地帮助钻井人员保持钻井性能。开发一个更容易操作的控制系统的概念,其中系统的准确性和精度保持在开发过程的最前沿。选择并测试了可以直接在钻机动力下工作的电动机/执行器和必要的驱动器。控制扼流圈的控制系统逻辑进行了修改,以快速适应钻井条件的变化,保持必要的精度。这是通过研究和了解钻井人员的活动和行为来完成的,例如连接期间的自动泵降速度,起下钻期间的管柱移动等。开发了特定的MPD工程图、易于破译的图形和必要的计算表,供钻井人员用于管理井底压力。该系统提供了包括定位加重丸的具体时间表的计算,以保持操作的简单性,并使司钻易于执行。如今,许多钻井公司都在使用MPD解决方案钻长分支井(Hovland等,2020)。这一趋势正在慢慢导致钻机MPD人员的减少,特别是在新冠疫情期间,而钻井人员正在熟悉和操作MPD系统。使司钻能够自行下入MPD的几个关键项目包括连接到钻井自动化系统的MPD控制,以及随后根据司钻的任务和需求不断修改这些控制。电动机的使用可以在连接、起下钻等过程中快速适应不断变化的钻井条件。钻井人员可以根据所提供的MPD计算和图表来应用所需的MPD节流压力,从而使MPD适应更加简单。对MPD节流阀控制的改进旨在促进必要的自动化,使司钻能够在几天内完成培训,并在保持相同速度和性能水平的情况下操作MPD系统。
