Managing a large fleet of offshore structures is a dynamic process that aims at minimising risks to personnel, environment, and businesses, as well as minimising the associated Operations Expenditure. Through the collaborative efforts of ADNOC Offshore and Kent, formerly Atkins Oil & Gas, (Atkins, 2020), revised structural evaluation and integrity approaches have yielded significant cost savings. The considerable savings were associated with the elimination of the requirement for installing many new offshore structures and through reducing the subsea inspection associated efforts. The approach for evaluating the offshore assets’ structural performance was developed based on adopting target probability of failure figures subject to each asset's consequence of failure. Accordingly, structural reliability analyses were conducted specific to each structure, where the analysis considered structure specific environmental hazard curves and failure surfaces. Through mapping the evaluated structural probability of failure and ADNOC's corporate risk matrix's HSE Likelihood, each structure was precisely placed on the risk matrix. Furthermore, the inspection intervals and Topsides, Splash Zone, Subsea Levels I, II and III were mapped to each risk evaluation on the risk matrix. The optimisation approach of adopting a structure specific reliability analysis and mapping with ADNOC's corporate risk matrix yielded considerable cost benefits while providing a more accurate representation of each asset's risk. As a result of the implementation of the developed process, approximately 41% of the assets got lower risk evaluation compared to the legacy approach and presented extra structural capacities that can be utilised for future expansions and eliminating the requirement for installation of new assets. As the process expanded to include asset inspections, the subsea inspection requirements reduced by approximately 43% reflecting a considerable decrease in operating costs. A major contribution of the risk improvement is attributed to the consideration of the storm prevailing approach directions, the joint probability of wave and current magnitudes and directions, as well as the relative alignment of each structure. The developed approaches provide a framework that allows continuous update of the risk assessment and enables executives and management to make risk-based-decision supported by a consistent measure of structural risk. This has been translated into the generation of the Structural Passports (Summary reports) clearly demonstrating the assets current risk and recommendations for mitigation measures, if deemed required.
管理大型海上设施是一个动态过程,旨在最大限度地降低人员、环境和企业的风险,并最大限度地减少相关的运营支出。通过ADNOC Offshore和Kent(前身为Atkins Oil & Gas, Atkins, 2020)的共同努力,经过修订的结构评估和完整性方法已经节省了大量成本。由于无需安装许多新的海上结构,并且减少了海底检查相关工作,因此节省了大量成本。根据各资产的失效后果,采用目标失效概率来评价海上资产的结构性能。因此,针对每个结构进行结构可靠度分析,其中分析考虑了结构特定的环境危害曲线和破坏面。通过将评估的结构失效概率与ADNOC公司风险矩阵的HSE Likelihood进行映射,将每个结构精确地置于风险矩阵中。此外,检查间隔和上层甲板、飞溅区、海底I、II和III级被映射到风险矩阵上的每个风险评估。采用特定结构的可靠性分析和ADNOC公司风险矩阵映射的优化方法产生了可观的成本效益,同时提供了更准确的每个资产风险表示。与传统方法相比,开发过程的结果是,大约41%的资产获得了较低的风险评估,并提供了额外的结构能力,可用于未来的扩建,并消除了安装新资产的要求。随着该流程扩展到包括资产检查,海底检查需求减少了约43%,这反映了运营成本的大幅降低。风险改进的主要贡献归功于考虑了风暴的主要接近方向,波浪和电流的震级和方向的联合概率,以及每个结构的相对对齐。所开发的方法提供了一个框架,允许对风险评估进行持续更新,并使执行人员和管理人员能够在一致的结构风险度量的支持下做出基于风险的决策。这已转化为编制结构护照(简要报告),清楚地表明资产当前的风险,并在认为需要时提出缓解措施建议。

To achieve 24% portion of natural gas in targeted national energy mix in 2050, Indonesia government has integrated Pertagas, biggest transmission company into PGN, biggest distribution company under Oil & Gas Holding Pertamina. But survey from PWC in 2004 resulted that around 75% post-merger companies reported integration difficulties, especially both companies have long history of competition. Even more, government mandated 6 USD gas price policy at plant gate, which create enormous urgency to accelerate pipeline and digital integration in the most efficient way. Especially, in this pandemic era, midstream industry needs to foster digital transformation by rethinking outdated business models and strategically applying technology to change rather than focusing on simply cutting costs. From this integration, Pertagas with more than 2,418 km pipeline in 12 provinces spread from Sumatra, Java and Kalimantan has a big potency to be synergized with PGN, as Sub Holding Gas with the total of 10,169 km of pipeline which represent 96% of national gas infrastructure. During 2020. Both companies resulted more than 1.255 MMSCFD of transported gas and 828 BBTUD of sales gas to more than 460 thousand customers. So, PGN and Pertagas management has high expectation on this digital integration to transform from previous fragmented pipeline to be interconnected network to give flexibility in reaching unmet growing demand of strategic industry like refinery, fertilizer, electricity, steel and petrochemical in post-COVID recovery. In this paper, will be described the challenges and its solutions as a success story in digital integration. The important steps start from strategy development, digital assessment, creating coalition, culture acculturation, and change management are explained as guiding pathway for sustainable implementation. It will also portray the measured benefit and value from investment cost efficiency, time effectiveness from the initiation until launched, billing improvement, product development, and up to developed real-time integrated management dashboard for better decision making and part of the milestone for future National Dispatching Center for optimizing Sub Holding Gas portfolio of gas supply and subsidiary's infrastructure to meet growing Indonesia's demand.
为了在2050年实现天然气在国家能源结构中占24%的目标,印度尼西亚政府将最大的输电公司Pertagas整合到PGN中,后者是石油和天然气控股公司Pertamina旗下最大的分销公司。但普华永道2004年的一项调查显示,大约75%的合并后公司报告整合困难,尤其是两家公司都有长期的竞争历史。更重要的是,政府在工厂门口规定了6美元的天然气价格政策,这为以最有效的方式加速管道和数字集成创造了巨大的紧迫性。特别是在疫情大流行的时代,中游行业需要通过重新思考过时的商业模式和战略性地应用技术来促进数字化转型,而不是简单地专注于削减成本。通过此次整合,Pertagas在苏门答腊、爪哇和加里曼丹的12个省份拥有超过2,418公里的管道,与PGN有很大的协同潜力,而Sub Holding Gas拥有总计10,169公里的管道,占全国天然气基础设施的96%。在2020年。两家公司为超过46万客户提供了超过125.5百万立方英尺/天的运输天然气和828亿立方英尺/天的销售天然气。因此,PGN和Pertagas管理层对这种数字集成寄予厚望,希望从以前的碎片化管道转变为互联网络,从而灵活地满足炼油、化肥、电力、钢铁和石化等战略行业在新冠肺炎疫情后的复苏中未满足的不断增长的需求。在本文中,将描述的挑战及其解决方案,在数字集成的一个成功的故事。从战略制定、数字评估、创建联盟、文化适应和变革管理开始的重要步骤被解释为可持续实施的指导途径。它还将描述投资成本效率、从启动到启动的时间有效性、账单改进、产品开发以及开发的实时综合管理仪表板的衡量效益和价值,以更好地做出决策,并成为未来国家调度中心优化天然气供应组合和子公司基础设施的里程碑的一部分,以满足印度尼西亚不断增长的需求。

Passive and active hybrid pipeline inspection gauges (PIGs) have been used for in-pipe inspection. While a passive PIG cannot control its speed, the hybrid version can achieve this by using an integrated valve specifically designed and embedded in the PIG. This study proposes a generic new method for speed adaptation in PIGs (called MC-PIG) by introducing a generic, modular, controllable, external valve unit add-on for attaching to existing conventional (passive) PIGs with minimal change. The MC-PIG method is based on the principle of morphological computation with closed-loop control. It is achieved by regulating/computing the PIG's morphology (i.e., a modular rotary valve unit add-on) to control bypass flow. Adjustment of the valve angle can affect the flow rate passing through the PIG, resulting in speed regulation ability. We use numerical simulation with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to investigate and analyze the speed of a simulated PIG with the valve unit adjusted by proportional-integral (PI) control under various in-pipe pressure conditions. Our simulation experiments are performed under different operating conditions in three pipe sizes (16″, 18″, and 22″ in diameter) to manifest the speed adaptation of the PIG with the modular valve unit add-on and PI control. Our results show that the PIG can effectively perform real-time adaptation (i.e., adjusting its valve angle) to maintain the desired speed. The valve design can be adjusted from 5 degrees (closed valve, resulting in high moving speed) to a maximum of 45 degrees (fully open valve, resulting in low moving speed). The speed of the PIG can be regulated from 0.59 m/s to 3.88 m/s in a 16″ pipe at 4.38 m/s (in-pipe fluid velocity), 2500 kPa (operating pressure), and 62 °C (operating temperature). Finally, the MC-PIG method is validated using a 3D-printed prototype in a 6″ pipe. Through the investigation, we observed that two factors influence speed adaptation; the pressure drop coefficient and friction of the PIG and pipeline. In conclusion, the results from the simulation and prototype show close characteristics with an acceptable error.
被动和主动混合式管道检测仪表(pig)已被用于管道内检测。被动PIG无法控制其速度,而混合版本可以通过使用专门设计并嵌入PIG的集成阀来实现这一目标。本研究提出了一种通用的新方法来适应猪的速度(称为MC-PIG),通过引入一个通用的、模块化的、可控的外部阀单元附加组件,以最小的变化连接到现有的传统(被动)猪。MC-PIG方法是基于形态计算和闭环控制的原理。它是通过调节/计算PIG的形态来实现的(例如,一个模块化的旋转阀单元附加组件),以控制旁通流量。调节阀角度的调整可以影响通过PIG的流量,从而产生调速能力。采用计算流体力学(CFD)数值模拟方法,对采用比例积分(PI)控制的阀单元模拟清管器在不同管内压力条件下的速度进行了研究和分析。我们在三种管道尺寸(直径为16″、18″和22″)的不同操作条件下进行了仿真实验,以证明具有模块化阀门单元附加组件和PI控制的PIG的速度适应性。结果表明,PIG可以有效地进行实时自适应(即调整其阀门角度)以保持所需的速度。阀门设计可从5度(阀门关闭,导致运动速度高)调节到最大45度(阀门全开,导致运动速度低)。在16″管道中,在4.38 m/s(管内流体速度)、2500 kPa(工作压力)、62℃(工作温度)条件下,PIG的速度可在0.59 ~ 3.88 m/s范围内调节。最后,MC-PIG方法在6″管道中使用3d打印原型进行验证。通过调查,我们发现有两个因素影响速度适应;清管器与管道的压降系数和摩擦力。综上所述,仿真结果与样机结果接近,误差在可接受范围内。

A new down hole system and method to use for releasing stuck pipes is presented. New system design, features and limits are compared to commonly used techniques for releasing stuck pipe showing benefits of the new system when dealing with differential stuck pipe incidents. The new down hole system is capable to deliver much greater forces when compared to jars and other down hole accelerators near the stuck point. This system can generate over 40G`s lateral forces continuously down the hole acting on the stuck pipe area. The system can be integrated into a Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA) and activated once drill string become stuck or run as a part of the remediate assembly. Different aspects of two types of assemblies are described outlining the benefits and drawbacks. The author will discuss in details the background and rationale to the new technology, including a review of differential sticking challenges and functionality of this new system. The new system was compared to the most commonly used techniques for releasing differentially stuck pipe. Previously not releasable stuck pipe forces of over 1,000,000 lb. can now be overcome with the presented new approach to generate down hole forces near the stuck place. Flexibility in system integration and deployment allows for further optimization in BHA design and cost affective fishing operations in dedicated hole sections. This new approach can be implemented to release the most challenging stuck pipe mechanisms in drilling to minimize NPT and cost associated with stuck pipe, remedial operations and sidetracks. Similar approach can be utilized to release differentially stuck pipes, tubing and completions. The novelty of this stuck pipe release system is the entire down hole system and operations of the overall system using new approach to generate large shocks down the hole. Additional novelty is related to flexibility during integration and deployment of this system. Similar to current shock tools, this system can be placed in BHA, fishing type assemblies and also pumped down inside of the stuck drill string to save time and cost.
介绍了一种新的井下卡钻系统和方法。新系统的设计、特点和限制与常用的释放卡钻技术进行了比较,显示了新系统在处理不同卡钻事故时的优势。与震击器和其他靠近卡点的井下加速器相比,新的井下系统能够提供更大的力。该系统可以连续产生超过40G的横向力,作用在卡钻的管柱上。该系统可以集成到底部钻具组合(BHA)中,并在钻柱卡钻或作为修复组合的一部分下入时激活。本文描述了两种类型的组件的不同方面,概述了它们的优点和缺点。作者将详细讨论新技术的背景和基本原理,包括对该新系统的差压卡钻挑战和功能的回顾。将新系统与最常用的释放差异卡钻技术进行了比较。以前无法释放的超过1,000,000磅的卡钻力现在可以通过提出的新方法来克服,在卡钻位置附近产生井下力。系统集成和部署的灵活性可以进一步优化BHA设计,并在专用井段进行成本有效的打捞作业。这种新方法可以用于解决钻井中最具挑战性的卡钻问题,从而最大限度地减少与卡钻、补救作业和侧钻相关的NPT和成本。类似的方法也可以用于释放差异卡钻的管道、油管和完井。这种卡钻释放系统的新颖之处在于,整个井下系统和整个系统的操作都采用了新的方法来产生井下的大冲击。额外的新颖性与系统集成和部署期间的灵活性有关。与目前的减震工具类似,该系统可以放置在BHA、打捞式组件中,也可以泵入卡钻柱内部,从而节省时间和成本。

Zipper Fracturing of Horizontal Cluster Wells: Game Changing Unconventional Fracturing in UAE 水平井簇的拉链压裂:改变阿联酋非常规压裂的游戏规则
Pub Date : 2021-12-09 DOI: 10.2118/207523-ms

Following the increase in demand for natural gas production in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), unconventional hydraulic fracturing in the country has grown exponentially and with it the demand for new technology and efficiency to fast-track the process from fracturing to production. Diyab field has historically been a challenging field for fracturing given the high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) conditions, presence of H2S, and the strike-slip to thrust faulting conditions. Meanwhile, operational efficiency is necessary for economic development of this shale gas reservoir. Hence "zipper fracturing" was introduced in UAE with modern technologies to enable both operational efficiency and reservoir stimulation performance. The introduction of zipper fracturing in UAE is considered a game changer as it shifted the focus from single-well fracturing to multiple well pads that allow for fracturing to take place in one well while the adjacent well is undergoing a pumpdown plug-and-perf operation using wireline. The overall setup of the zipper surface manifold allowed for faster transitions between the two wells; hence, it also rendered using large storage tanks a viable option since the turnover between stages would be short. Thus, two large modular tanks were installed and utilised to allow 160,000 bbl of water storage on site. Similarly, the use of high-viscosity friction reducer (HVFR) has directly replaced the common friction reducer additive or guar-based gel for shale gas operation. HVFR provides higher viscosity to carry larger proppant concentrations without the reservoir damage, and the flexibility and simplicity of optimizing fluid viscosity on-the-fly to ensure adequate fracture width and balance near-wellbore fracture complexity. Fully utilizing dissolvable fracture plugs was also applied to mitigate the risk of casing deformation and the subsequent difficulty of milling plugs after the fracturing treatment. Furthermore, fracture and completion design based on geologic modelling helped reduce risk of interaction between the hydraulic fractures and geologic abnormalities. With the application of advanced logistical planning, personnel proficiency, the zipper operation field process, clustered fracture placement, and the pump-down plug-and-perforation operation, the speed of fracturing reached a maximum of 4.5 stages per day, completing 67 stages in total between two wells placing nearly 27 million lbm of proppant across Hanifa formation. The maximum proppant per stage achieved was 606,000 lbm. The novelty of this project lies in the first-time application of zipper fracturing, as well as the first application of dry HVFR fracturing fluid and dissolvable fracturing plugs in UAE. These introductions helped in improving the overall efficiency of hydraulic fracturing in one of UAE's most challenging unconventional basins in the country, which is quickly demanding quicker well turnovers from fracturing to production.
随着阿拉伯联合酋长国(UAE)天然气生产需求的增加,该国的非常规水力压裂呈指数级增长,随之而来的是对新技术和效率的需求,以快速跟踪从压裂到生产的过程。考虑到高压/高温(HP/HT)条件、硫化氢的存在以及走滑到逆冲断层的条件,Diyab油田一直是一个具有挑战性的压裂油田。同时,提高作业效率是页岩气藏经济开发的必要条件。因此,在阿联酋引入了“拉链压裂”技术,以提高作业效率和油藏增产效果。在阿联酋,拉链压裂的引入被认为是一种改变,因为它将重点从单井压裂转移到多井平台,允许在一口井中进行压裂,而相邻井正在进行泵送、桥塞和射孔作业。拉链式地面管汇的整体设置允许两口井之间更快的过渡;因此,这也使得使用大型储罐成为一种可行的选择,因为阶段之间的周转时间很短。因此,安装了两个大型模块化水箱,用于现场储存160,000桶水。同样,在页岩气作业中,高粘度减阻剂(HVFR)的使用直接取代了常见的减阻剂添加剂或瓜尔基凝胶。HVFR提供了更高的粘度,可以携带更大的支撑剂浓度,而不会损害储层,并且可以灵活而简单地动态优化流体粘度,以确保足够的裂缝宽度,平衡近井裂缝的复杂性。充分利用可溶解的压裂桥塞,还可以降低套管变形的风险,以及压裂处理后磨铣桥塞的难度。此外,基于地质建模的裂缝和完井设计有助于降低水力裂缝与地质异常之间相互作用的风险。随着先进的后勤规划、人员熟练程度、现场拉链作业流程、密集裂缝安置和泵送桥塞射孔作业的应用,压裂速度达到了每天4.5级,在两口井之间总共完成了67级,在Hanifa地层中放置了近2700万磅的支撑剂。每级最大支撑剂产量为60.6万磅。该项目的新颖之处在于首次应用拉链压裂,以及在阿联酋首次应用干式HVFR压裂液和可溶解压裂塞。这些技术的引入有助于提高阿联酋最具挑战性的非常规盆地之一的水力压裂的整体效率,该盆地要求从压裂到生产的井周转率更快。

Diyab field has historically been a challenging field for fracturing given the high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) conditions, presence of H2S, and the strike-slip to thrust faulting conditions. Meanwhile, operational efficiency is necessary for economic development of this shale gas reservoir. Hence \"zipper fracturing\" was introduced in UAE with modern technologies to enable both operational efficiency and reservoir stimulation performance.\u0000 The introduction of zipper fracturing in UAE is considered a game changer as it shifted the focus from single-well fracturing to multiple well pads that allow for fracturing to take place in one well while the adjacent well is undergoing a pumpdown plug-and-perf operation using wireline. The overall setup of the zipper surface manifold allowed for faster transitions between the two wells; hence, it also rendered using large storage tanks a viable option since the turnover between stages would be short. Thus, two large modular tanks were installed and utilised to allow 160,000 bbl of water storage on site. Similarly, the use of high-viscosity friction reducer (HVFR) has directly replaced the common friction reducer additive or guar-based gel for shale gas operation. HVFR provides higher viscosity to carry larger proppant concentrations without the reservoir damage, and the flexibility and simplicity of optimizing fluid viscosity on-the-fly to ensure adequate fracture width and balance near-wellbore fracture complexity. Fully utilizing dissolvable fracture plugs was also applied to mitigate the risk of casing deformation and the subsequent difficulty of milling plugs after the fracturing treatment. Furthermore, fracture and completion design based on geologic modelling helped reduce risk of interaction between the hydraulic fractures and geologic abnormalities.\u0000 With the application of advanced logistical planning, personnel proficiency, the zipper operation field process, clustered fracture placement, and the pump-down plug-and-perforation operation, the speed of fracturing reached a maximum of 4.5 stages per day, completing 67 stages in total between two wells placing nearly 27 million lbm of proppant across Hanifa formation. The maximum proppant per stage achieved was 606,000 lbm.\u0000 The novelty of this project lies in the first-time application of zipper fracturing, as well as the first application of dry HVFR fracturing fluid and dissolvable fracturing plugs in UAE.

Challenges in the design of efficient EOR field pilots have been discussed and documented in the industry, particularly when it comes to optimization of monitoring plans for technical and economical perspectives. This paper explores the benefits of pilot planning where the monitoring/control strategies are included in the early stages of the design to reduce risk of measurements ambiguity and ensure good quality pilot results evaluation. It addresses the use of new and existing technology in monitoring by highlighting the advantages and challenges of each alternative including potential pairing of complementary options to achieve the pilot objectives including illustration of the use of continuous and sporadic measurements on the evaluation. The proposed approach starts with a review of reservoir performance, heterogeneity and pilot objectives to ascertain the plausible monitoring technologies/strategies to aid during the pilot de-risking, followed by the identification of adequate novel and mature monitoring options, which are specific to EOR type and measurement nature (permanent, time lapse, etc.). Advantages of incorporating the monitoring strategy as integral part of the pilot design, as well as evaluation of the effectiveness/viability in the presence of uncertainty of the selected monitoring alternatives are discussed providing a reference of suitable/plausible EOR specific technologies. The paper illustrates the importance of selecting monitoring alternatives that feed off each other and the importance of using fit-for-purpose evaluation algorithms and a digitally enabled, structured approach to analyze and democratize pilot results and enable actionable decisions in operations.

A Novel Methodology to Investigate Critical Depth for Ductile-to-Brittle Transition During Scratch Testing 研究划痕试验中韧脆转变临界深度的新方法

More than two decades have passed since the introduction of the scratch testing method for rock strength determination. The test method typically involves dragging a rigid-shaped cutter across the rock surface at a fixed cutting depth. This depth determines the failure mechanism of the rock, ductile for shallow depths and brittle for deeper. In the ductile mode, intrinsic specific energy is primarily a measure of the unconfined-compressive-strength (UCS), which is pivotal for rate of penetration (ROP) during drilling and for borehole stability analysis. On the contrary, brittle failure can lead to permanent core damage and is usually not desired as it impacts interpretation of the scratch testing results. Consequently, it is imperative to identify the critical depth, and at which transition from ductile to brittle failure occurs which will help optimize rock testing and tool designs. In this study, a novel methodology is proposed utilizing micro-computed tomography (CT) imaging to determine critical depth through morphological analysis of scratch test cuttings. Scratch tests are carried out on Indiana limestone core samples with the cutter-rock interaction geometry characterized by a cutter width of 10mm and a back-rake angle of 15°. The sample is scratched in the range of 0.05mm to 0.40mm with increments of 0.05mm. Scratch powder is carefully collected after each scratch increment and stored for further analysis. This powder is then loaded into slim rubber tubes and imaged at a high resolution of 1 µm with a helical micro-CT scanner. The scans are then reconstructed using a computer program to initiate the visualization of individual grains from each cutter depth including evaluation of grain morphologies. Finally, the results from this morphological analysis are corroborated and compared with three other methods: force response analysis, force inflection point analysis, and the size effect law (SEL). Based on shape analysis, it was found that the transition from ductile to brittle regime occurs at a depth of 0.25mm. Elongation and appearance of the enhanced degree of angularity of the grains as the depth of cut (DOC) increases past 0.25mm was observed. Moreover, large grain sizes were detected and are representative of formation of chips (typical brittle regime response). Furthermore, it is illustrated that the image analysis helps eliminate the ambiguity of force signal analysis and in combination can aid in the critical depth of cut determination. The other methods involving force alone and the SEL are not able to pin-point onset of brittle regime. Using a similar methodology, creation of a database for various rock types is recommended to develop a guide for the depth of cut selection during scratch testing. This novel methodology utilizing micro-CT analysis and comparative study with other techniques will put in place an accurate strategy to determine the critical depth of cut when designing rock scratch testing programs.
岩石强度测定的划痕试验方法引入至今已有二十多年的历史。测试方法通常包括在岩石表面以固定的切割深度拖动刚性形状的刀具。这个深度决定了岩石的破坏机制,浅层为延性,深层为脆性。在延性模式下,固有比能主要是衡量无侧限抗压强度(UCS)的指标,UCS对于钻井过程中的钻速(ROP)和井眼稳定性分析至关重要。相反,脆性破坏会导致岩心永久性损伤,通常是不希望的,因为它会影响划痕测试结果的解释。因此,必须确定临界深度,以及从韧性破坏到脆性破坏的过渡,这将有助于优化岩石测试和工具设计。在这项研究中,提出了一种新的方法,利用微计算机断层扫描(CT)成像,通过对划痕测试岩屑的形态学分析来确定临界深度。对印第安纳石灰石岩心样品进行了划伤试验,其切削齿-岩石相互作用几何形状为切削齿宽度为10mm,后倾角为15°。样品在0.05mm ~ 0.40mm范围内进行划痕,以0.05mm为增量。每次划痕增加后,仔细收集划痕粉,并储存起来供进一步分析。然后将这种粉末装入细长的橡胶管中,用螺旋微型ct扫描仪以1 μ m的高分辨率成像。然后使用计算机程序重建扫描结果,以启动每个刀具深度的单个颗粒的可视化,包括颗粒形态的评估。最后,对该形态分析结果进行了验证,并与力响应分析、力拐点分析和尺寸效应定律(SEL)三种方法进行了比较。基于形状分析,发现在0.25mm深度处发生了从延性到脆性的转变。观察到随着切割深度(DOC)的增加,晶粒的伸长率和棱角度增加,超过0.25mm。此外,检测到的大晶粒尺寸代表了切屑的形成(典型的脆性响应)。此外,图像分析有助于消除力信号分析的模糊性,两者结合可以帮助确定切割的临界深度。其他仅涉及力和SEL的方法无法精确定位脆性状态的开始。使用类似的方法,建议创建不同岩石类型的数据库,以便在划痕测试期间制定切割深度选择指南。在设计岩石划伤测试方案时,这种利用微ct分析和与其他技术比较研究的新方法将为确定临界切割深度提供准确的策略。

With the continuous production from Kuwait oil reservoirs, a clear decline in reservoir pressure is observed. Subsequently, the demand for artificial lift is increasing to sustain production. Maintenance of those wells requires frequent interventions and continuous presence of workover rigs, which affects overall cost of production. Change of the electrical submersible pump (ESP) deployment method represents one of the cost reduction initiatives undertaken by the operator to reduce well intervention time and improve asset utilization. To minimize deferred production generated by the ESP replacement operation, a novel rigless approach leveraging coiled tubing (CT) was introduced in southeast and west Kuwait. It reduces operating costs and eliminates disruptions to operations by enabling rigless retrieval and redeployment of a standard ESP assembly. To evaluate the efficiency of using CT as rigless ESP retrieval and conveyance method, two candidate wells were selected to recover and redeploy a 108-ft-long ESP system. The intervention methodology relied on CT equipped with optical line and real-time downhole telemetry, a high-pressure rotary jetting tool, and a specific ESP deployment assembly. The retrieval and redeployment of the ESP was executed in a single rigless intervention, averaging less than 72 hours of operational time per well. This represents five times improvement over the standard practice using a workover rig. The intervention was executed in several stages, according to the well intervention program, and included tubing drift and cleanout runs, retrieval, inspection, and redress of the ESP assembly, followed by its successful redeployment. The high-pressure rotary jetting tool was used to condition the wellbore tubulars across the fishing area, while downhole real-time data enabled by the 1 3/4-in. CT equipped with optical telemetry were instrumental to eliminate uncertainties associated with changing downhole conditions. The casing collar locator allowed live depth control and ensured accurate positioning of the ESP. Its careful retrieval and redeployment were monitored thanks to the downhole axial force readings, which allowed controlling the weight applied on the fishing assembly. Internal and external downhole pressure data, along with downhole temperature, helped in controlling actuation and use of the high-pressure rotary jetting nozzle under nominal conditions for maximum efficiency. This enhanced rigless ESP replacement technique, made possible by the joint use of CT and real-time downhole measurements, was confirmed as a robust workover method for retrieval and redeployment of rigless ESPs in southeast and west Kuwait. The experience gained in the first two wells brings a new level of confidence to Kuwait operators about this technique, which certainly can be expanded to other fields in the Middle East and elsewhere.
随着科威特油藏的持续生产,观察到油藏压力明显下降。随后,为了维持产量,对人工举升的需求也在增加。这些井的维护需要频繁的干预和修井设备的持续存在,这影响了总体生产成本。改变电潜泵(ESP)的部署方法是运营商采取的降低成本措施之一,以减少油井干预时间,提高资产利用率。为了最大限度地减少ESP替代作业带来的延迟生产,在科威特东南部和西部引入了一种利用连续油管(CT)的新型无钻机方法。通过无钻机检索和重新部署标准ESP组件,降低了作业成本,消除了作业中断。为了评估使用CT作为无钻机ESP回收和传输方法的效率,选择了两口候选井来回收和重新部署108英尺长的ESP系统。修井方法依赖于配备光学线路和实时井下遥测技术的CT、高压旋转喷射工具和特定的ESP部署组件。ESP的回收和重新部署在一次无钻机干预中完成,平均每口井的作业时间不到72小时。这比使用修井机的标准做法提高了5倍。根据修井作业计划,修井作业分几个阶段进行,包括油管下入、洗井、回收、检查和修复ESP组件,最后成功重新部署。高压旋转喷射工具用于调节整个打捞区域的井眼管柱,而井下实时数据由1 3/4-in套管提供。配备光学遥测技术的CT有助于消除井下条件变化带来的不确定性。套管接箍定位器可以实时控制深度,确保ESP的精确定位。通过井下轴向力读数,可以监控其小心回收和重新部署,从而控制施加在打捞组件上的重量。内部和外部井下压力数据,以及井下温度,有助于在标称条件下控制高压旋转喷射喷嘴的驱动和使用,以实现最大效率。通过联合使用CT和实时井下测量,这种增强型无钻机ESP替代技术成为可能,并被证实是科威特东南部和西部地区无钻机ESP回收和重新部署的一种强大的修井方法。前两口井获得的经验使科威特运营商对该技术有了新的信心,该技术当然可以扩展到中东和其他地区的其他油田。

Innovative Use of Wireline Tools Enables Successful Re-Entry on Subsea Wells 电缆工具的创新使用使海底井成功再入

Re-entry of subsea wells can always hide unforeseen difficulties. Contingency mobilization of coiled tubing (CT) usually gives a wide spread of solutions to overcome most of the possible events. However, when operating on a winterized semisubmersible rig in the remote fields of the Barents Sea, rig-up of CT spread can be costly and complicated. Furthermore, lighter and easily deployable wireline powered mechanical tools have proven to be effective in tackling most of the possible challenges. Possible tubing obstruction issues can be resolved via clean-out/suction, pumping, or milling methods. In this instance, all three were used with different tools to clear the obstruction from the tubing and to clean with precision inside an internal fishing profile of a well head barrier plug to allow for well access. The first challenge encountered when re-entering the tubing in Well-1 was the presence of a 151m long hydrate plug. It was easily removed by an e-line tool capable of applying 10 bar of dynamic underbalance, while maintaining a continuous flow circulation. Such an application is a novel development in the use of existing tools. After removing the hydrate plug, it was discovered that the tubing was plugged by 246m of wax deposits, which were preventing communication with the reservoir. To overcome this problem, a jetting tool was utilized to continuously pump fresh wax solvent inside the landing string. Pumping continuously fresh wax dissolvent provided a unique and effective means to mechanically and chemically remove a significant obstruction. Once the communication with the reservoir was re-established, an additional obstruction of almost 129m (resistant to the wax dissolvent) was encountered. To overcome this challenge an e-line milling tool was utilized, and the resulting debris was bullheaded down into the reservoir. Similarly, when re-entering Well-2 a challenge was encountered to pull a barrier plug due to debris deposits inside the internal fishing profile. Both e-line milling and suction tools were sequentially used to resolve the problem and prepare the plug for retrieval. The tools used were already available on the market for different applications.

海底油井的重新开采总是隐藏着不可预见的困难。连续油管(CT)的应急动员通常为克服大多数可能发生的事件提供了广泛的解决方案。然而,当在巴伦支海偏远地区的半潜式钻井平台上进行冬季作业时,CT扩散装置的安装成本高昂且复杂。此外,更轻且易于部署的电缆动力机械工具已被证明可以有效解决大多数可能出现的挑战。可能出现的油管堵塞问题可以通过清洗/吸入、泵送或铣削方法来解决。在这种情况下,这三种工具都与不同的工具一起使用,以清除油管上的障碍物,并在井口屏障塞的内部打捞剖面内进行精确清洁,以便进入油井。1号井重新进入油管时遇到的第一个挑战是存在151米长的水合物塞。通过能够施加10bar动态欠平衡的e-line工具轻松拆除,同时保持连续的流体循环。这样的应用程序是对现有工具使用的一种新颖的开发。拆除水合物堵塞后,发现油管被246m的蜡沉积物堵塞,阻碍了与储层的连通。为了解决这个问题,使用了一种喷射工具,将新鲜的蜡溶剂连续泵入到下放管柱中。连续泵送新鲜的蜡溶剂提供了一种独特而有效的机械和化学清除重大障碍的方法。一旦与储层的通信重新建立,就会遇到近129米的额外障碍(对蜡溶剂有抵抗力)。为了克服这一挑战,使用了e-line磨铣工具,并将产生的碎屑压入储层。同样,当重新进入2号井时,由于内部打捞剖面内的碎屑沉积,遇到了拉出屏障塞的挑战。依次使用e-line铣削工具和抽吸工具来解决问题,并为回收桥塞做好准备。所使用的工具已经可以在市场上用于不同的应用程序。在这种情况下,这些工具以另一种方式使用,使用它们的特性来解决超出常规预期的问题。该结果增强了在无需动员CT扩散的情况下计划未来再入井的信心。

Contingency mobilization of coiled tubing (CT) usually gives a wide spread of solutions to overcome most of the possible events.\u0000 However, when operating on a winterized semisubmersible rig in the remote fields of the Barents Sea, rig-up of CT spread can be costly and complicated. Furthermore, lighter and easily deployable wireline powered mechanical tools have proven to be effective in tackling most of the possible challenges. Possible tubing obstruction issues can be resolved via clean-out/suction, pumping, or milling methods. In this instance, all three were used with different tools to clear the obstruction from the tubing and to clean with precision inside an internal fishing profile of a well head barrier plug to allow for well access.\u0000 The first challenge encountered when re-entering the tubing in Well-1 was the presence of a 151m long hydrate plug.

Such an application is a novel development in the use of existing tools.\u0000 After removing the hydrate plug, it was discovered that the tubing was plugged by 246m of wax deposits, which were preventing communication with the reservoir. To overcome this problem, a jetting tool was utilized to continuously pump fresh wax solvent inside the landing string. Pumping continuously fresh wax dissolvent provided a unique and effective means to mechanically and chemically remove a significant obstruction.\u0000 Once the communication with the reservoir was re-established, an additional obstruction of almost 129m (resistant to the wax dissolvent) was encountered. To overcome this challenge an e-line milling tool was utilized, and the resulting debris was bullheaded down into the reservoir.\u0000 Similarly, when re-entering Well-2 a challenge was encountered to pull a barrier plug due to debris deposits inside the internal fishing profile. Both e-line milling and suction tools were sequentially used to resolve the problem and prepare the plug for retrieval.\u0000 The tools used were already available on the market for different applications.

Carbonate reservoir X has varying levels of maturity in terms of development. The South/West is highly matured; development activities have recently kicked-off in the Crestal part while the areas towards the Far North is not fully developed and posed the largest uncertainty in terms of reservoir quality, fluid contacts, oil saturation, well injectivity/ productivity, area potential and reserves due to poor well control. In reservoir X with segmented development areas, patches of bitumen have been found in the Far North. The extent of this Bitumen was unknown. In order to expand the CO2 development concept to achieve production target from the Far Northern flank, an understanding and mitigation of the area uncertainties is crucial. Reservoir bitumen is a highly viscous, asphaltene rich hydrocarbon that affects reservoir performance. Distinguishing between producible oil and reservoir bitumen is critical for recoverable hydrocarbon volume calculations and production planning, yet the lack of resistivity and density contrast between the reservoir bitumen and light oil makes it difficult, if not impossible, to make such differentiation using only conventional logs such as neutron, density, and resistivity. This paper highlights the utilization and integration of advanced logging tools such as nuclear magnetic resonance and dielectric, in conjunction with routine logs, pressure points, RCI samples, vertical interference test and core data to differentiate between reservoir bitumen and other hydrocarbon types in the pore space. The major findings from the studies shows bitumen doesn't form as a single layer but occurs in different subzones as patches which is a challenge for static modelling. When high molecular weight hydrocarbons are distributed in the pore space and coexist with light and producible hydrocarbons, reservoir bitumen is likely to block pore throats. The Bitumen present in this reservoir have a log response similar to conventional pore fluids. The outcome of this study has helped in refining the bitumen boundary, optimize well placement, resolved the uncertainties associated with deeper fluid contacts and provided realistic estimate of STOIIP.
碳酸盐岩X储层发育程度不同。南部/西部地区高度成熟;最近在Crestal部分开始了开发活动,而远北地区尚未完全开发,由于井控不良,在储层质量、流体接触、油饱和度、井注入/产能、面积潜力和储量方面存在最大的不确定性。X储层发育段状,在远北发现了块状沥青。这种沥青的范围是未知的。为了扩大二氧化碳开发概念以实现远北翼的生产目标,了解和减轻该地区的不确定性至关重要。储层沥青是一种高粘性、富含沥青质的碳氢化合物,影响着储层的性能。区分可采油和储层沥青对于可采油气体积计算和生产规划至关重要,但由于储层沥青和轻质油之间缺乏电阻率和密度对比,因此仅使用中子、密度和电阻率等常规测井数据很难(如果不是不可能的话)进行区分。利用核磁共振和介电介质等先进测井工具,结合常规测井、压力点、RCI样品、垂直干涉测试和岩心数据,在孔隙空间中区分储层沥青和其他碳氢化合物类型。研究的主要发现表明,沥青不会形成单层,而是以斑块的形式出现在不同的子带中,这对静态建模来说是一个挑战。当高分子量烃分布于孔隙空间并与轻质、可产烃共存时,储层沥青可能堵塞孔喉。该储层中的沥青具有与常规孔隙流体相似的测井响应。该研究结果有助于改善沥青边界,优化井位,解决深层流体接触相关的不确定性,并提供了真实的STOIIP估计。
