Tapping into an unconventional reservoir such as naturally fractured tight carbonate or basement has become more common in the industry. Open natural fractures, when present are the major contributor to production flow in such formation. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of fracture properties including aperture, intensity, and permeability is required to identify the productive fractures and optimize production. In this paper, we discuss the first application of the latest Logging-While Drilling (LWD) high-resolution laterolog resistivity image in combination with LWD multi-pole sonic to provide comprehensive fracture characterization in Pre-Talang Akar Formation tight carbonate reservoir, in the offshore North West Java Basin, Indonesia. The methodology involved identification of borehole breakouts, natural or drilling-induced fractures, faults and vugs from the high-resolution LWD image data, which were then interpreted further to provide the fracture attributes and the secondary porosity distributions from each of the identified features. The Stoneley measurement from LWD multi-pole sonic log enabled the analysis of the fracture system producibility using the sonic fracture technique. The characterization of fractures and faults (open/closed) from the integration of these two independent methods were complemented by the triple combo measurements, caliper, and drilling loss data, as well as sonic compressional and shear data. This methodology has successfully managed to differentiate open fracture zones and closed fracture zones along with their computed fracture properties. The open fracture zones were characterized by a cluster of conductive fractures with large fracture aperture and fracture porosity value. These fractures were also associated with positive fracture indication from the sonic data, decrease in density logs, shallow - deep resistivity log separation and drilling loss occurrence. Whereas, closed fracture zones were characterized with minor fracture dip development. It also showed negative open fracture indication from sonic data, flat density log response and overlaying resistivity log response with no drilling loss occurrence. The case study in this paper shows excellent LWD data quality and fracture characterization result, on par with wireline conveyed data that were commonly used to quantify fracture attributes. The results provide invaluable information for volumetric calculation, well completion and production planning in this area.
进入非常规储层,如天然裂缝性致密碳酸盐或基底,在行业中变得越来越普遍。开放的天然裂缝,当存在时,是这些地层生产流的主要贡献者。因此,需要全面了解裂缝的性质,包括孔径、强度和渗透率,以确定生产裂缝并优化生产。在本文中,我们讨论了最新随钻测井(LWD)高分辨率侧向电阻率图像与LWD多极声波测井相结合的首次应用,以提供印度尼西亚西北爪哇盆地Pre-Talang Akar组致密碳酸盐岩储层的全面裂缝表征。该方法包括从高分辨率随钻测井图像数据中识别井眼裂缝、天然裂缝或钻井引起的裂缝、断层和孔洞,然后对这些数据进行进一步解释,以提供裂缝属性和每个识别特征的次生孔隙度分布。通过LWD多极声波测井进行的Stoneley测量,可以利用声波压裂技术分析压裂系统的产能。通过这两种独立方法的整合,裂缝和断层(开/闭)的特征得到了三重组合测量、井径仪、钻井损失数据以及声波压缩和剪切数据的补充。该方法已经成功地区分了开放裂缝带和封闭裂缝带,并计算出了裂缝的性质。开放裂缝带以导缝为主,裂缝孔径大,裂缝孔隙度值大。这些裂缝还与声波数据的裂缝指示、密度测井下降、浅深电阻率测井分离和钻损发生有关。封闭裂缝带以裂缝倾角较小为特征。声波数据、平坦密度测井响应和上覆电阻率测井响应也显示了负张开裂缝指示,没有发生钻井损失。本文的案例研究表明,LWD数据质量和裂缝表征结果非常好,与通常用于量化裂缝属性的电缆传输数据相当。研究结果为该地区的体积计算、完井和生产计划提供了宝贵的信息。

This paper presents a fit-for-purpose gas well performance model that utilizes a minimum set of inflow and outflow performance parameters, and demonstrates the use of this model to describe real-time well performance, to compare well performance over time and between wells, and to generate production forecasts in support of well interventions. The inflow and outflow parameters are directly related to well-known reservoir and well properties, and can be calibrated against common well surveillance and production data. By adopting this approach, engineers develop a better appreciation of the magnitude and uncertainty of gas well and reservoir performance parameters.

This work aims to develop a fracturing nanofluid with a dual purpose: i) to increase heavy crude oil mobility and ii) to reduce formation damage caused by the remaining fluid. Three commercial nanoparticles were evaluated: two fumed silica of different sizes and one type of alumina. They were acidified and basified, obtaining nine nanoparticles (NPs) by the surface modification, characterized by TEM, DLS, Z Potential and Total Acidity. The effect of adding nanoparticles at different concentrations onto the linear gel and heavy crude oil was determined by their rheological behavior. Also, there was assessed the alteration of the rock wettability by contact angle for all NPs and concentrations. Based on these results, the nanoparticle with better performance was the neutral fumed silica of 7 nm at 1000 mg/L. These were used to make a fracturing nanofluid from a commercial fracturing fluid (FF). Both of them were evaluated through their rheological behavior overtime at high pressure following the API RP39 test and quantitative measurements of the rock sample wettability changes. Displacement tests also were performed on proppant and rock samples at reservoir conditions: pressure and temperature. Finally, there was evaluated the rheological behavior of the crude oil recovered in the displacement test. It was possible to conclude that the inclusion of nanoparticles allowed obtaining a reduction of 10 and 20% in the two breakers used in the commercial fracture fluid formulation. An alteration of the rock wettability was achieved, where the rock sample became up to 50% more wettable to water. Moreover, there was a diminution of 53% in the damage caused by the remaining fracturing fluid to the oil effective permeability in the proppant medium. In the rock sample, a decrease of 31% of this kind of damage was observed. Increases of 28 and 18 % in the crude oil recovery were noticed in the proppant and the rock sample, respectively. Finally, there was a reduction of 40% in the crude oil viscosity, showing the effectiveness of adding nanoparticles to fracturing fluids for increasing oil mobility and reducing the formation damage.
这项工作旨在开发一种具有双重目的的压裂纳米流体:1)提高重质原油的流动性,2)减少剩余流体对地层的损害。评估了三种商业纳米颗粒:两种不同尺寸的气相二氧化硅和一种氧化铝。对其进行酸化和碱化处理,通过表面改性得到了9个纳米粒子(NPs),并用TEM、DLS、Z势和总酸度对其进行了表征。研究了不同浓度的纳米颗粒对线性凝胶和重质原油的流变性能的影响。此外,还评估了所有NPs和浓度的接触角对岩石润湿性的影响。结果表明,在1000 mg/L条件下,7 nm的中性气相二氧化硅是性能较好的纳米颗粒。这些技术被用于将商业压裂液(FF)制成压裂纳米液。通过API RP39测试和岩石样品润湿性变化的定量测量,对两者在高压下的流变行为进行了评估。在储层压力和温度条件下,还对支撑剂和岩石样品进行了驱替测试。最后,对驱替试验中采出的原油流变特性进行了评价。由此可以得出结论,在商用压裂液配方中使用的两种破冰剂中,纳米颗粒的掺入可以分别减少10%和20%的排量。岩石的润湿性发生了变化,岩石样品的可湿性提高了50%。此外,剩余压裂液对支撑剂介质中石油有效渗透率的损害降低了53%。在岩石样品中,这种破坏减少了31%。在支撑剂和岩石样品中,原油采收率分别提高了28%和18%。最后,原油粘度降低了40%,这表明在压裂液中添加纳米颗粒对于提高原油流动性和减少地层损害是有效的。

Recent Enhancements for Coiled Tubing Descaling Treatments in Middle East 中东地区连续油管除垢技术的最新改进
Pub Date : 2021-09-15 DOI: 10.2118/205891-ms

Successful coiled tubing (CT) descaling interventions require control of several key aspects, including fluid leakoff into the formation, proper surface solids handling, and controlled hydrogen sulfide (H2S) release at the surface. Successful treatment control is achieved by monitoring the surface and downhole parameters. The recently introduced pressure and fluid management system, crosslinked foam-based fluid, and a fluid mixing system for CT descaling treatments pose challenges that require enhancements to these elements for successful treatment. The pressure and fluid management system was enhanced to include a new high-rate mud/gas separator to 1) increase gas/fluid separation capacity and avoid foam flowing to flare, 2) rig up the flare line with inclination to allow all water to be drained and prevent formation gas flowing to flare lines, and 3) increase retention time for better foam breaking and material settling. A liquid flowmeter was also added to improve influx and leakoff control by monitoring the volume of liquid injected and matching the volume of liquid returned on surface in addition to the level gauges on the return tanks of the pressure and fluid management system. The foamed-based fluid breaking system and H2S presence in returns were mitigated by removing crosslinker and introducing an H2S scavenger on returns whereas foam breaking was enhanced by additional breaker injection points on returns. Fluid mixing capabilities were enhanced by the introduction of an on-the-fly continuous mixing system that sped up and simplified the mixing process. The mud/gas separator efficiently separated the gas from liquid, leading the gas to be burnt at flare and the liquid to be processed in the pressure and fluid management system. It further helped in preventing the liquid flowing to flare, which lessened the risk of flare shutdown and H2S ventilation. The on-the-fly continuous mixing system provided a faster and more-efficient mixing process as an alternate to batch mixing. These system-controlled metering, mixing, and monitoring capabilities significantly reduced the crew and equipment footprint, leading to minimizing the health, safety, and environment (HSE) concerns and cost savings. The fluid flowmeter allowed efficient choke and bottom-hole pressure control. Fluid flowmeter readings helped in choke and bottom-hole pressure reading adjustments based on amount of fluids pumped and matching the same amount of fluids returned at the surface. It prevented the fluid leakoff into the formation or influx of gas into the wellbore. Additionally, this new process created better control of downhole differential pressure during the scale cleanup and transportation. This project integrated different technologies and techniques that can be utilized for descaling treatment enhancements. The recent enhancements to the CT descaling operation resulted in greater efficiency, cost savings, reduced formation damage, and safe operations.
成功的连续油管(CT)除垢干预措施需要控制几个关键方面,包括流体泄漏到地层中,适当的地面固体处理,以及控制地面硫化氢(H2S)的释放。通过监测地面和井下参数,实现了成功的处理控制。最近推出的压力和流体管理系统、交联泡沫基流体和用于CT除垢处理的流体混合系统提出了挑战,需要对这些元素进行增强,才能成功进行处理。压力和流体管理系统得到加强,包括一个新的高速泥浆/气体分离器,1)提高气/流体分离能力,避免泡沫流向火炬,2)安装倾斜的火炬线,允许所有水排出,防止地层气体流向火炬线,3)增加保留时间,以便更好地破碎泡沫和物料沉淀。除了压力和流体管理系统回液罐上的液位计外,还增加了一个液体流量计,通过监测注入液体的体积和匹配地面回液的体积来改善流入和泄漏控制。通过去除交联剂和在回井中加入H2S清除剂,泡沫破液系统和H2S的存在得到了缓解,而在回井中添加破剂注入点,泡沫破液得到了增强。流体混合能力得到增强,通过引入一个动态连续混合系统,加快和简化了混合过程。泥浆/气体分离器有效地将气体与液体分离,使气体在火炬处燃烧,液体在压力和流体管理系统中进行处理。它还有助于防止液体流向火炬,从而降低火炬关闭和H2S通风的风险。动态连续混合系统提供了一个更快和更有效的混合过程,作为分批混合的替代。这些系统控制的计量、混合和监控功能显著减少了作业人员和设备的占地面积,从而最大限度地减少了健康、安全和环境(HSE)问题,并节省了成本。流体流量计可以实现有效的节流和井底压力控制。流体流量计读数有助于根据泵送的液体量和与地面返回的液体量相匹配的液体量来调整节流孔和井底压力读数。它可以防止流体泄漏到地层中或气体流入井筒。此外,在结垢清理和运输过程中,该新工艺可以更好地控制井下压差。该项目整合了不同的技术和工艺,可用于增强除垢处理。最近对连续油管除垢作业的改进提高了作业效率,节约了成本,减少了地层损害,保证了作业的安全性。

Emerging technologies often bring new opportunities to enhance productivity and safety in the oil and gas industry. New technologies and opportunities often come with the challenges of workforce development to provide entry-level and current professionals with the necessary training and skillset. This paper presents a vertical education enhancement (VEE) model approach to providing emerging skillset needs in the oil and gas industry with emphases on curriculum continuous improvement and lifelong learning. The top new and emerging technologies that are critical to the future of the oil and gas industry in enhancing productivity and safety include Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, big data analytics, cloud computing, and 3D modeling/visualization. As part of the solution to train the oil and gas industry workforce to meet the challenges of adopting these technologies, the VEE model features a vertical education structure that encompasses outreach to K-12 education, recruitment, tertiary education, professional training, and lifelong learning. It has an interwoven fundamental structure consisting of curriculum and mentorship, partnerships with stakeholders (industry, government, and community), and research and funding. The VEE model has periodic assessment continuous improvement processes for identifying emerging technologies and new skillset needed to improve the workforce. These processes are like those practiced by accreditation bodies such Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), United Kingdom Accreditation Services (UKAS), and Offshore Petroleum Industry Training Organization (OPITO). Diversity to increase the participation of underrepresented minority groups and women in engineering would further increase the workforce. The novelty that the VEE model approach brings is the effectiveness in providing skillset training in new and emerging technologies for the oil and gas industry at all levels of workforce development. These include content infusion in existing courses, special-topic and specialized courses at senior and graduate levels, and professional development education and training through lifelong learning platforms.
新兴技术经常为提高油气行业的生产率和安全性带来新的机遇。新技术和机遇往往伴随着劳动力发展的挑战,为入门级和现有专业人员提供必要的培训和技能。本文提出了一种垂直教育增强(VEE)模型方法,以满足油气行业对新兴技能的需求,重点是课程的持续改进和终身学习。物联网(IoT)、人工智能、大数据分析、云计算和3D建模/可视化等新兴技术对未来油气行业提高生产力和安全性至关重要。作为培训油气行业劳动力以应对采用这些技术挑战的解决方案的一部分,VEE模式具有垂直教育结构,包括K-12教育、招聘、高等教育、专业培训和终身学习。它有一个相互交织的基本结构,包括课程和指导,与利益相关者(行业、政府和社区)的伙伴关系,以及研究和资助。VEE模型具有定期评估和持续改进过程,用于识别新兴技术和改进劳动力所需的新技能。这些过程类似于工程和技术认证委员会(ABET)、英国认证服务(UKAS)和海上石油工业培训组织(OPITO)等认证机构所实施的过程。增加未被充分代表的少数群体和女性在工程领域的参与的多样性将进一步增加劳动力。VEE模型方法的新颖之处在于,它可以有效地为油气行业各个层面的劳动力发展提供新兴技术的技能培训。包括在现有课程中注入内容,在高年级和研究生阶段开设专题和专业课程,以及通过终身学习平台进行职业发展教育和培训。

An important way to develop geothermal energy is by producing low-medium temperature fluids from naturally fractured geothermal reservoirs. Pressure analysis is the most used to characterize such reservoirs for improving development efficiency. However, pressure inversion easily leads to non-uniqueness and cannot estimate thermal properties. Additionally, no reliable methods are proposed to evaluate the development potential of geothermal reservoirs. To narrow the gap, this study aims at studying the temperature behaviors and exploring suitable analysis method for characterizing geothermal reservoir and evaluating development potential. The numerical and analytical models are simultaneously established to analyze the temperature behaviors. Our models account for the J-T effect (μJT), adiabatic heat expansion/compression effect (η), reservoir damage, viscous dissipation, heat conduction and convection effects. The solution's development is dependent on the fact that the effects of reservoir temperature changes on transient pressure can be ignored so that the pressure and energy equations can be decoupled. We firstly compute reservoir pressure field based on Kazemi model, then use this obtained pressure field to solve the energy-balance equations. The numerical solution is verified and is found to be in good agreement with the proposed analytical solutions. This work shows that the most used constant μJT and η assumption will produce inaccurate temperature results when reservoir temperature changes significantly. Moreover, we find that temperature behaviors can exhibit three heat radial flow regimes (HRFR) and a heat inter-porosity regime with V-shape characteristic.

从天然裂缝性地热储层中开采中低温流体是开发地热能源的重要途径。为了提高开发效率,压力分析是这类油藏最常用的特征分析方法。然而,压力反演容易导致非唯一性,无法估计热性质。此外,尚无可靠的地热储层开发潜力评价方法。为了缩小这一差距,本研究旨在研究地温行为,探索适合地热储层表征和开发潜力评价的分析方法。同时建立了数值模型和解析模型来分析其温度行为。我们的模型考虑了J-T效应(μJT)、绝热热膨胀/压缩效应(η)、储层损伤、粘性耗散、热传导和对流效应。解决方案的发展取决于这样一个事实,即可以忽略储层温度变化对瞬态压力的影响,从而可以解耦压力和能量方程。首先基于Kazemi模型计算储层压力场,然后利用所得压力场求解能量平衡方程。对数值解进行了验证,发现数值解与解析解吻合较好。研究表明,当储层温度发生显著变化时,常用的恒定μJT和η假设会产生不准确的温度结果。此外,我们发现温度行为表现为三种热径向流型(HRFR)和一种具有v型特征的热孔隙间流型。根据这一特征,可以估算出裂缝储热比和基质热孔间系数,进而评价地热开发潜力。我们的工作还表明,温度数据可以提供传统压力分析无法提供的信息。当储层受到破坏时,温度导数曲线呈现“驼峰”特征。温度数据可以表征表皮带半径和渗透率。除此之外,还可以估算出J-T系数、有效绝热膨胀系数和孔隙率等性能。最后,首次提出了利用温度和压力数据分析来描述天然裂缝性地热储层的集成工作流程。通过仿真测试实例说明了该方法的适用性。

While the demand for hydrocarbon resources has been continuously increasing in the past 150 years, the industry is, however, criticized for carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and concomitant global warming concerns. The oil and gas industry also face growing pressures in the ongoing energy transition. Generating and producing hydrogen (H2) directly from petroleum reservoirs has the potential to mitigate environmental impacts while revolutionizing the traditional petroleum industry and enabling it to become a clean hydrogen industry. This paper proposes a novel approach to generate high-purity, CO2-free hydrogen from the abundant oil and gas resources in petroleum reservoirs using microwave heating. In this work, laboratory experiments were conducted to validate this scientific proof-of-concept and examine the roles of crushed rocks, catalysts, and water/oil ratio in hydrogen generation from crude oils in a reactor. A maximum of 63% ultimate hydrogen content is obtained in the generated gas mixtures, while the original CO2content in all experiments is negligible (<1%). Catalysts can promote hydrogen generation by accelerating rate and locally enhancing microwave (MW) absorption to create ‘super-hot spots'. Water also participates in reactions, and additional hydrogen is generated through water-gas shift reactions. The water-oil ratio in porous rocks affects the ultimate hydrogen yield. Overall, this research demonstrates the great potential of using MW heating to generate high-purity, CO2-free hydrogen from in situ petroleum reservoirs. Further research and wide application of this technology would potentially transform petroleum reservoirs to hydrogen generators, thus mitigating the environmental impacts of traditional petroleum industry while meeting the increasing demand for clean hydrogen energy. This technology would also benefit the safe transition towards a decarbonized society.
在过去的150年里,虽然对碳氢化合物资源的需求不断增加,但该行业却因二氧化碳(CO2)排放和随之而来的全球变暖问题而受到批评。在持续的能源转型中,油气行业也面临着越来越大的压力。从石油储层中直接产生氢气(H2)有可能减轻对环境的影响,同时彻底改变传统的石油工业,使其成为一个清洁的氢工业。本文提出了一种利用微波加热技术从丰富的油气资源中制取高纯度、无co2的氢气的新方法。在这项工作中,进行了实验室实验来验证这一科学概念,并研究了碎石、催化剂和水/油比在反应器中原油制氢中的作用。在生成的混合气体中,最终氢含量最高可达63%,而所有实验的原始co2含量均可忽略不计(<1%)。催化剂可以通过加速速率和局部增强微波(MW)吸收来促进氢的产生,从而产生“超级热点”。水也参与反应,并且通过水气转移反应产生额外的氢。多孔岩石的水油比影响最终产氢量。总的来说,这项研究证明了利用兆瓦加热从原位油藏中产生高纯度、无二氧化碳的氢气的巨大潜力。该技术的进一步研究和广泛应用将有可能将油气藏转化为氢气发生器,从而减轻传统石油工业对环境的影响,同时满足人们对清洁氢能源日益增长的需求。这项技术还将有利于向脱碳社会的安全过渡。

Glycine for Enhanced Water Imbibition in Carbonate Reservoirs – What is the Role of Amino Group? 甘氨酸在碳酸盐储层中增强吸水性——氨基的作用是什么?

Previous studies indicated the efficacy of the simplest amino acid, glycine, as an aqueous additive for enhanced water imbibition in carbonate reservoirs. The objective of this research was to investigate the importance of the amino group of glycine in its enhanced water imbibition. To this end, glycine was compared with two carboxylates (acetate and formate) with/without adding hydrogen chloride (HCl) for adjusting the solution pH. Note that the amino group is the only difference between glycine and acetate. Contact-angle experiments on calcite were carried out at 347 K and atmospheric pressure with 68000-ppm reservoir brine (RB), and 4 different concentrations of glycine, acetate, and formate solutions in RB. To test the hypothesis that calcite dissolution is one of the main mechanisms in wettability alteration by glycine, we performed another set of contact angle experiments by adding HCl to brine, acetate, and formate solutions. HCl was added to match the pH of the glycine solution at the same concentration. We also performed imbibition tests with Texas Cream Limestone cores at 347 K with brine, glycine, acetate, and formate solutions (with and without HCl) in RB at 5.0 wt%. Contact-angle results indicated that glycine changed calcite's wettability from oil-wet to water-wet (45°). However, acetate solution was not able to change the wettability to water-wet; and formate moderately decreased the contact angle to 80°. The pH level increased from 6.1 to 7.6 after the contact angle experiment in glycine solution, indicating the consumption of hydrogen ions due to calcite dissolution. The levels of pH in formate and acetate solutions, however, decreased from 8.4 to 7.8. The acidity of glycine above its isoelectric point arises from the deprotonation of the carboxyl group. Imbibition tests with carbonate cores supported the observations from the contact-angle experiments. The oil recovery was 31% for glycine solution, 20% for RB, 21% for formate solution, and 19% for acetate solution. This re-confirmed the effectiveness of glycine as an additive to improve the oil recovery from carbonates. An additional set of imbibition tests revealed that acetate at the pH reduced to the same level as glycine was still not able to recover as much oil as glycine. This showed that glycine recovered oil not only because of the calcite dissolution and the carboxyl group, but also because of the amino group. It is hypothesized that the amino group with its electron donor ability creates a chelation effect that makes glycine entropically more favorable to get attached to the calcite surface than acetate. Another important result is that the formate solution at an adjusted pH resulted in a greater oil recovery than RB or RB at the same pH. This indicates that there is an optimal pH for the carboxyl group to be effective in wettability alteration as also indicated by the pH change during the contact-angle experiment.
先前的研究表明,最简单的氨基酸甘氨酸作为一种水性添加剂,可以增强碳酸盐岩储层的吸水性。本研究的目的是探讨氨基甘氨酸在其增强吸水性中的重要性。为此,甘氨酸与两种羧酸盐(乙酸酯和甲酸酯)在加入/不加入氯化氢(HCl)的情况下进行了比较,以调整溶液的ph。注意,氨基是甘氨酸和乙酸酯之间唯一的区别。在347 K和常压条件下,用68000-ppm的储层盐水(RB)和4种不同浓度的甘氨酸、乙酸盐和甲酸盐溶液对方解石进行了接触角实验。为了验证方解石溶解是甘氨酸改变润湿性的主要机制之一的假设,我们通过在盐水、醋酸盐和甲酸盐溶液中加入HCl进行了另一组接触角实验。在相同浓度下,加入与甘氨酸溶液pH相匹配的盐酸。我们还对德克萨斯奶油石灰石岩心进行了渗吸测试,温度为347 K,在5.0 wt%的RB中加入盐水、甘氨酸、乙酸盐和甲酸盐溶液(含或不含HCl)。接触角结果表明,甘氨酸使方解石的润湿性由亲油型变为亲水型(45°)。然而,醋酸溶液不能改变润湿性为水湿性;甲酸盐适度降低接触角至80°。甘氨酸溶液中接触角实验结束后pH值由6.1上升到7.6,说明方解石溶解导致氢离子消耗。甲酸盐和醋酸盐溶液的pH值则从8.4降至7.8。甘氨酸在其等电点以上的酸度是由羧基的去质子化引起的。碳酸盐岩心渗吸实验支持了接触角实验的结果。甘氨酸溶液的采收率为31%,RB溶液为20%,甲酸溶液为21%,乙酸溶液为19%。这再次证实了甘氨酸作为添加剂在提高碳酸盐原油采收率方面的有效性。另一组吸胀试验表明,当pH值降低到与甘氨酸相同的水平时,乙酸盐仍然不能像甘氨酸那样回收那么多的油。这表明甘氨酸回收油不仅是因为方解石的溶解和羧基,还因为氨基。假设具有电子供体能力的氨基产生螯合效应,使甘氨酸在熵上比醋酸盐更有利于附着在方解石表面。另一个重要的结果是,调整pH后的甲酸溶液比相同pH下的RB或RB的采收率更高。这表明羧基有效改变润湿性存在一个最佳pH值,接触角实验中pH的变化也表明了这一点。

The fundamental objective of well perforating is to launch an optimum wellbore to reservoir communication. Unfortunately, not all perforating jobs deliver ideal communication quality. In this paper the rudiments of apposite perforating operations, from data integration and job design to safe implementation, are summarized to produce practical guidelines for high productivity perforating jobs. Reviving oil production in mature fields is a major challenge around the globe. In Libya, there are several mature oil and gas fields that requires production enhancement. In some of these fields the challenge was to come up with a methodology that improves the oil production with minimal well intervention while testing the wells in a much quicker way than the conventional wireline conveyed perforating, well kill, swab, and test techniques. Producing zones in Libyan oil fields have lost productivity over the years due to various activities associated with workover operations. Damage was mainly caused by existence of high salinity formation water and unfiltered brine usage to kill or control the wells. Research has proven that wellbore dynamics have a substantial impact on the success of perforating activities during this very high-paced and short-lived event. We have used a technique that combines the static and the dynamic underbalanced perforating techniques to ultimately improve the hydrocarbon production in such mature fields. Advanced downhole gun and charge system designs and downhole tools are combined to enhance oil production. Debris, scale, and crushed rock removal from the perforation tunnels by applying static underbalanced perforating techniques works very successfully in many cases. Numerous field examples and research have also shown that dynamic underbalance can greatly enhance the tunnel clean up and well productivity. In this paper we are showing that combining static and dynamic underbalanced perforating ensures the optimum perforation tunnel structure. We have applied this technique on numerous wells for the purposes of perforating and re-perforating. Several wells were reperforated to improve the well to reservoir communication quality of existing plugged and damaged perforating zones. In most of the cases new perforating intervals were also added based on production logging and reservoir saturation log results. We have gained extraordinary oil production for several wells. This methodology with improved design increased oil production more than 400% in some wells. Results of this study are presented in an easy to follow way to ensure learnings are passed on to the industry for achieving improved results elsewhere. The techniques outlined in this paper will permit enhanced perforation designs via utilizing available software packages in challenging environments where conventional approaches can be inadequate. The methodology described in this paper is unique in terms of combining the existing techniques in an accessible way.
射孔的基本目标是实现最佳的井筒与油藏连通。不幸的是,并非所有射孔作业都能提供理想的通信质量。本文总结了从数据集成、作业设计到安全实施等相关射孔作业的基本原理,为高效射孔作业提供实用指导。在全球范围内,恢复成熟油田的石油产量是一个重大挑战。在利比亚,有几个成熟的油气田需要提高产量。在其中的一些油田中,挑战在于找到一种方法,既能以最少的油井干预提高产油量,又能以比传统电缆传输射孔、压井、抽汲和测试技术更快的方式进行测试。多年来,由于与修井作业相关的各种活动,利比亚油田的生产区域已经失去了生产力。造成损害的主要原因是地层水含盐量高,使用未过滤的盐水压井或控制井。研究已经证明,在这种快节奏、短时间的射孔活动中,井筒动态对射孔活动的成功与否有重大影响。我们采用了一种结合静态和动态欠平衡射孔技术的技术,最终提高了这些成熟油田的油气产量。先进的井下射孔枪和装药系统设计与井下工具相结合,提高了石油产量。在许多情况下,应用静态欠平衡射孔技术清除射孔隧道中的碎屑、水垢和碎石非常成功。大量的现场实例和研究也表明,动态欠平衡可以大大提高隧道的清洁度和井的产能。静态欠平衡射孔与动态欠平衡射孔相结合,保证了射孔孔洞结构的优化。我们已经将该技术应用于许多井,用于射孔和再射孔。为了改善现有堵塞和受损射孔区的井与储层的连通质量,对几口井进行了重新射孔。在大多数情况下,还会根据生产测井和储层饱和度测井结果增加新的射孔段。我们有几口井获得了非凡的石油产量。这种改进设计的方法使一些井的产油量提高了400%以上。本研究的结果以一种易于理解的方式呈现,以确保将学习成果传递给行业,从而在其他地方取得更好的结果。本文概述的技术将通过利用可用的软件包,在传统方法无法胜任的具有挑战性的环境中增强射孔设计。本文中描述的方法在以一种可访问的方式结合现有技术方面是独一无二的。

PACT - One Step Closer to Well Control Autonomy PACT——离井控自动化又近了一步

Pressure control have been going through steps of evolution. In the highlight of safety, reliability and control, the systems have been sturdy withstanding massive pressure and environmental impact to last the time of estimated life of well. Design have been emphasizing on sturdiness rather than intelligence and autonomy. Time moves on, sophistication levels rise in all parts of our industry. Sustainability and lower environmental impact of solutions grow from the young into business planning and democratic policies. Control lines of hydraulic systems posed risks to the environment as well as being costly in structure and maintenance. Condition monitoring helped ensure better maintenance planning and lowered the risk of breakdown, but still left a lot to be desired reaching for self-contained, self learning systems with low installation and maintenance costs, yet the safest approach. The next steps were taken towards electrification and digitization of pressure control systems, making short and undetermined strides over almost two decades. Still, the standards are not following the pace of technological progress. And when someone dares to pilot or demonstrate modern technology applied, the installations and operational procedures of the systems still need expensive distributed lines of power, of signals and control systems to ensure a swift and safe operation. The fly-by-wire principle applied in oil & gas is the operate-by-costly-technology-and-environmental-impact-lines. With the introduction of new and breaking technology in energy harvesting and storage, the playing field opens up towards fully automated systems with no need for expensive power lines or hydraulic control lines. The safety will be taken care of also off-grid, fully digitized. Should cabling of instrument signals be damaged, the system of tomorrow will still be up to par with the Safety Integrity Levels needed.

压力控制一直在经历进化的步骤。在安全性、可靠性和控制性方面,该系统能够承受巨大的压力和环境影响,并在井的预期寿命内保持稳定。设计一直强调坚固性,而不是智能和自主性。随着时间的推移,我们行业各个方面的复杂程度都在提高。可持续性和低环境影响的解决方案从年轻人成长为商业规划和民主政策。液压系统的控制线不仅对环境有危害,而且在结构和维护上都很昂贵。状态监测有助于确保更好的维护计划,降低故障风险,但对于安装和维护成本低、但最安全的独立、自学习系统来说,还有很多需要改进的地方。接下来的步骤是压力控制系统的电气化和数字化,在近二十年的时间里,取得了短暂而不确定的进展。然而,这些标准并没有跟上技术进步的步伐。当有人敢于试验或演示现代技术的应用时,系统的安装和操作程序仍然需要昂贵的分布式电源线,信号和控制系统,以确保快速和安全的运行。应用于油气行业的电传控制原理是根据技术成本和环境影响进行操作。随着能源收集和存储领域的突破性新技术的引入,无需昂贵的电力线或液压控制线的全自动系统成为可能。安全问题也将由离网处理,完全数字化。即使仪器信号的布线被损坏,未来的系统仍将达到所需的安全完整性水平。工业界与挪威东南大学合作开发的新型超级电容器具有额外的高密度存储容量,结合具有最快故障安全机制的极低能耗驱动系统,将确保所有运行模式下的安全,即使所有线路关闭或被火焰吞噬。本文旨在展示该技术的工作原理,并强调为什么它将在未来的井控和生产中占有一席之地。
{"title":"PACT - One Step Closer to Well Control Autonomy","authors":"Christian Petersen, O. Strand, E. Johansen, Dag Almar Hansen, D. Fredheim, P. Ohlckers","doi":"10.2118/206274-ms","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2118/206274-ms","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 Pressure control have been going through steps of evolution. In the highlight of safety, reliability and control, the systems have been sturdy withstanding massive pressure and environmental impact to last the time of estimated life of well. Design have been emphasizing on sturdiness rather than intelligence and autonomy. Time moves on, sophistication levels rise in all parts of our industry. Sustainability and lower environmental impact of solutions grow from the young into business planning and democratic policies. Control lines of hydraulic systems posed risks to the environment as well as being costly in structure and maintenance. Condition monitoring helped ensure better maintenance planning and lowered the risk of breakdown, but still left a lot to be desired reaching for self-contained, self learning systems with low installation and maintenance costs, yet the safest approach.\u0000 The next steps were taken towards electrification and digitization of pressure control systems, making short and undetermined strides over almost two decades. Still, the standards are not following the pace of technological progress. And when someone dares to pilot or demonstrate modern technology applied, the installations and operational procedures of the systems still need expensive distributed lines of power, of signals and control systems to ensure a swift and safe operation. The fly-by-wire principle applied in oil & gas is the operate-by-costly-technology-and-environmental-impact-lines.\u0000 With the introduction of new and breaking technology in energy harvesting and storage, the playing field opens up towards fully automated systems with no need for expensive power lines or hydraulic control lines. The safety will be taken care of also off-grid, fully digitized. Should cabling of instrument signals be damaged, the system of tomorrow will still be up to par with the Safety Integrity Levels needed. New super-capacitors with an extra dense storage capacity being developed in partnership between the industry and the University of southeast Norway combined with an extremely low energy consuming actuation system with the fastest failsafe mechanism ever will ensure safety in all modes of operation, even with all lines down or consumed by flames.
