A subsea production flexible flowline in Gumusut-Kakap field was found blocked in March 2021 during a routine production well-flowline switching/alignment operation. Further evaluation showed that the blockage was caused by the formation of hydrate and gel over the 1.3km length of the flexible flowline, as the live crude and water were left stagnant and untreated in the flowline over a prolonged period. This paper covers the remediation strategy and the associated challenges from a System perspective, which successfully unblocked the flowline within a relatively short period of time. The condition of the blockage in the flexible flowline was simulated using a commercial multiphase dynamic software to ascertain the phase distribution and hence allowed the estimation of the location and length of hydrate, gel, and emulsion in the flowline which has a downward inclination of circa 50 meters height. Heating (from production well), methanol (MeOH) soaking and flowline depressurization were planned and executed. In addition to the technical methodology, the System-wide aspects were also considered for the effective and optimum execution of the remediation activities which include attempting to fulfill the production commitment, abide by the subsea hardware and flexible flowline integrity envelope, and consider the impact of the remediation operation on other operations at the Gumusut-Kakap installation. The MeOH soaking, flowline depressurization and pressurization successfully remediated the blockage over the period of weeks. Positive results were observed at the start of the remediation when the targeted location for MeOH contact and depressurization were identified via field trial. One of the key challenges is the time factor in which to ascertain the "appropriate" waiting time for the flowline depressurization, as the remediation involved partial shut-in of the prolific production wells. A holistic System engineering approach is critical to the successful remediation of the blockage, integrating the key technical requirements as well as the soft and non-technical aspects to deliver optimum and net positive value for the asset.
2021年3月,Gumusut-Kakap油田的一条水下生产柔性管线在常规生产管线切换/校准作业中被发现堵塞。进一步的评估表明,堵塞是由于在1.3km长的柔性管线上形成水合物和凝胶造成的,因为活的原油和水在管道中长时间处于停滞状态,未经处理。本文从系统的角度介绍了补救策略和相关挑战,并在相对较短的时间内成功地疏通了管道。利用商业多相动态软件对柔性管线中的堵塞情况进行了模拟,以确定相分布,从而可以估计水合物、凝胶和乳化液在向下倾斜约50米高度的管线中的位置和长度。计划并执行了加热(从生产井开始)、甲醇(MeOH)浸泡和管线降压。除了技术方法之外,还考虑了有效和最佳执行修复活动的全系统方面,包括试图履行生产承诺,遵守海底硬件和灵活的流动管线完整性,并考虑修复作业对Gumusut-Kakap设施其他作业的影响。在数周的时间里,MeOH浸泡、管线降压和加压成功地修复了堵塞。在修复开始时,通过现场试验确定了MeOH接触和减压的目标位置,观察到积极的结果。其中一个关键的挑战是时间因素,即确定“适当”的流线降压等待时间,因为补救措施涉及部分关闭高产生产井。整体系统工程方法对于成功修复堵塞物至关重要,整合关键技术要求以及软技术和非技术方面,为资产提供最佳的净价值。

Analysis has consistently shown that carbon capture and storage (CCS) has an important role in meeting emission-reduction targets (IPCC, 2018). CCS wells require special design considerations to ensure long-term zonal isolation when exposed to carbon dioxide (CO2) because a complex set of chemical reactions leads to carbonation and dissolution of conventional cement sheaths. Several studies conducted into the long-term stability of different cement systems when exposed to wet supercritical CO2 and CO2-saturated water showed that the novel CO2- resistant cement system provides enduring zonal isolation. Properties investigated included permeability, porosity, mass evolution, CO2 degradation front, and compressive strength. Given its superior mechanical properties, the novel CO2-resistant cement system was selected for use in the first Australian offshore CCS Gular-1 appraisal well. To ensure that the blend characteristics of the novel CO2-resistant cement system remained optimal, a stringent quality-control procedure was developed. The blend management process, supported by rigorous laboratory testing, covered the complete lifecycle of the blend. This lifecycle extended from sourcing chemical components, to blending the components in a bulk plant, to transporting the blend across land and sea, and ultimately, preparing the slurry mixing. By adhering to the project management process, all primary cement jobs were successfully performed without incident using conventional cementing equipment and practices. The novel approach of blending the product locally at a fit-for-purpose facility reduced costs compared with previous methods of importing a preblended product prepared at a special centralized facility. Blend homogeneity was maintained during transfer from a sea vessel to the jackup rig, with minimal change in density between samples received from the bulk plant and samples received from the rig. This blending, which verified the initial blend flow capability and the robustness tests performed at a regional laboratory using specialized equipment, concluded the blend is suitable for offshore operations. Selection of a suitable cement system to ensure long-term zonal isolation will prove essential to the continuing expansion of the CO2 injection market. Through this offshore CCS appraisal project, valuable best practices and lessons learned in design and execution have been captured. This paper presents the decision process used for selecting a suitable CO2-resistant cement system for Australia's first offshore CCS appraisal well, drilled by AGR as part of the CarbonNet Project in late 2019, as well as the project management processes implemented to ensure successful job execution. The experiences detailed in this paper will benefit other operators confronted by challenges associated with wells subjected to CO2 injection.
分析一致表明,碳捕集与封存(CCS)在实现减排目标方面具有重要作用(IPCC, 2018)。由于一系列复杂的化学反应会导致常规水泥环的碳化和溶解,因此CCS井需要特殊的设计考虑,以确保在暴露于二氧化碳(CO2)中时实现长期的层间隔离。针对不同水泥体系暴露于湿超临界二氧化碳和二氧化碳饱和水时的长期稳定性进行的几项研究表明,新型抗二氧化碳水泥体系提供了持久的层间隔离。研究的性能包括渗透率、孔隙度、质量演化、CO2降解前沿和抗压强度。鉴于其优异的机械性能,该新型抗二氧化碳水泥体系被选择用于澳大利亚首口海上CCS Gular-1评估井。为了确保新型抗二氧化碳水泥体系的混合特性保持最佳状态,开发了严格的质量控制程序。在严格的实验室测试的支持下,混合物管理过程涵盖了混合物的整个生命周期。这个生命周期从采购化学成分,到在散装工厂中混合成分,再到通过陆地和海洋运输混合物,最后准备浆液混合。通过坚持项目管理流程,使用常规固井设备和方法,所有初级固井作业都成功完成,没有发生任何事故。与以前进口在特殊集中设施中制备的预混合产品的方法相比,在适合用途的设施中本地混合产品的新方法降低了成本。在从海上船只转移到自升式钻井平台的过程中,保持了混合物的均匀性,从散装工厂接收的样品和从钻井平台接收的样品之间的密度变化最小。该共混物验证了初始共混物的流动能力,并在区域实验室使用专用设备进行了鲁棒性测试,得出结论,该共混物适用于海上作业。选择合适的水泥体系以确保长期的层间隔离,对于持续扩大二氧化碳注入市场至关重要。通过这个海上CCS评估项目,我们获得了设计和执行中宝贵的最佳实践和经验教训。本文介绍了为澳大利亚首口海上CCS评估井(AGR作为CarbonNet项目的一部分于2019年底钻探)选择合适的抗二氧化碳水泥系统的决策过程,以及为确保工作成功执行而实施的项目管理流程。本文详细介绍的经验将使其他面临二氧化碳注入井相关挑战的运营商受益。

Designing robust hole-opening BHA to drill two consecutive sections with interbedded formation in a deep HPHT appraisal well is exceptionally challenging. The two hole-opening sections, 17in × 20in and 14-3/4in × 17in need to retain strict verticality requirement and the final hole diameter sizes must be guaranteed to allow for smooth casing running operations. Conventional method, consisting of pilot hole drilling and a dedicated hole-opening run, is time consuming. Hence, the Operator decided to proceed with single run hole-opening while drilling approach for significant time saving benefit. Utilizing finite element analysis modeling approach, tandem reamer BHA were designed and proposed for both hole-opening sections. The BHA consists of a PDC bit, a hydraulic-actuated reamer near the bit and a mechanical-actuated reamer above MWD tools. This BHA design concept can deliver both hole-opening and rat-hole cleaning operations in a single run. BHA optimization modeling was also done to select robust and appropriate cutting structures that can yield the most stable drilling dynamics with suitable drilling parameters. Applying the FEA modeling recommendations in the 17in × 20in hole-opening section, the operation went smoothly as planned for the first 1184m until a vibration level increase was observed, believed to be due to an unexpected sudden increase in the hardness of the interbedded formation. Realizing the potential of similar risk happening for the next hole interval, a conventional two-runs approach was implemented in the 14-3/4in × 17in section. A pilot hole was first drilled with a steerable motor BHA for trajectory adjustment and then followed by a dedicated under-reaming only (URO) operation with a bullnose BHA. The 937m under-reaming interval was executed successfully without any downhole issues, despite lower ROP than initially expected.
在高温高压评价井中,设计一个坚固耐用的井下钻具组合,以钻两个连续段的互层地层,这是非常具有挑战性的。17in × 20in和14-3/4in × 17in两个开孔段需要保持严格的垂直度要求,并且必须保证最终的孔径尺寸,以保证套管的顺利下入。传统的方法,包括先导孔钻井和专门的开孔作业,是耗时的。因此,作业者决定在钻进过程中进行单趟开孔,以节省大量时间。利用有限元分析建模方法,设计并提出了适用于两个开孔段的串联式扩眼器BHA。BHA由PDC钻头、钻头附近的液压驱动扩眼器和MWD工具上方的机械驱动扩眼器组成。这种BHA设计理念可以在一次下入中同时完成开孔和老鼠眼清洗作业。此外,还进行了底部钻具组合优化建模,以选择坚固且合适的切削结构,从而在合适的钻井参数下产生最稳定的钻井动态。在17in × 20in的开孔段应用FEA建模建议,在前1184m的作业按计划顺利进行,直到观察到振动水平增加,这被认为是由于层间地层的硬度意外突然增加。考虑到下一个井段可能发生类似的风险,在14-3/4in × 17in井段采用了常规的两趟钻进方法。首先使用可导向电机BHA钻导孔,用于轨迹调整,然后使用bullnose BHA进行专用扩眼(URO)作业。尽管ROP低于最初的预期,但937m的扩眼段成功完成,没有出现任何井下问题。

As reported by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the quantity of atmospheric Greenhouse Gas (GHG) concentrations in the atmosphere has elevated by an average of 1.6% annually over the last three decades, primarily contributed by carbon dioxide gas (CO2), and is currently considered to be one of the top three issues facing the world today. Climate change, as a result of increased GHG concentrations are threatening adverse impacts to the natural environment, as well as human livelihood and survival. In response, international actions, such as the Kyoto Protocol 2005 and the Paris Agreement 2015, gathered nations worldwide to set targets with the intention of mitigating climate change and reducing its impacts. One such action is the movement towards ‘net zero’ CO2 emissions to be achieved by 2050. A commitment considered necessary by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for realising the goal of global temperature stabilisation to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels. Increasing environmental, consumer and regulatory pressures, have driven the need for transitions in business focus towards sustainability by reducing overall GHG emission and carbon footprint. The integration of sustainability in business strategies is vital to avoid the occurrence of potential risks by demonstrating a clear link between the commitment to the sustainability agenda and continual business development. Undertaking a carbon footprint assessment of current and future assets is critical, to understand the nature of emission sources, and the contribution levels of each source to enable organizations to plan and make decisions which provide the most benefit in executing emission reduction strategies. The use of supporting tools developed in compliance with GHG Protocol principles, can provide clarity on carbon footprint drivers and enables informed, clear, traceable, carbon conscious, rapid decision making for business operations. This paper will discuss how the application of digital tools allows for the development of baseline understanding of an organization’s carbon footprint. Further, the subsequent steps required in utilizing the baseline information to determine feasible carbon reduction strategies in a traceable, verifiable, and systematic manner, will also be explored.
根据《联合国气候变化框架公约》(UNFCCC)的报告,在过去三十年中,大气中温室气体(GHG)的浓度平均每年增加1.6%,主要是由二氧化碳气体(CO2)造成的,目前被认为是当今世界面临的三大问题之一。由于温室气体浓度的增加,气候变化对自然环境以及人类的生计和生存产生了不利影响。作为回应,2005年《京都议定书》和2015年《巴黎协定》等国际行动将世界各国聚集在一起,制定了减缓气候变化和减少其影响的目标。其中一项行动是到2050年实现二氧化碳“净零”排放。政府间气候变化专门委员会(IPCC)认为实现将全球温度稳定在比工业化前水平高1.5°C的目标所必需的承诺。日益增长的环境、消费者和监管压力,促使企业需要通过减少总体温室气体排放和碳足迹,将业务重点转向可持续发展。通过展示对可持续发展议程的承诺与持续业务发展之间的明确联系,将可持续发展纳入业务战略,对于避免潜在风险的发生至关重要。对当前和未来资产进行碳足迹评估是至关重要的,这有助于了解排放源的性质,以及每个排放源的贡献水平,从而使组织能够计划和做出决策,在执行减排战略时提供最大的利益。使用根据温室气体议定书原则开发的支持工具,可以明确碳足迹驱动因素,并为业务运营提供知情、清晰、可追溯、碳意识和快速决策。本文将讨论数字工具的应用如何允许对组织碳足迹的基线理解的发展。此外,还将探讨利用基线信息以可追溯、可核查和系统的方式确定可行的碳减排战略所需的后续步骤。

Cracking Mature Subsurface Information in Complex Well Design 复杂井设计中成熟地下信息的破解
Pub Date : 2022-03-18 DOI: 10.4043/31481-ms

After 29 years of production in the brown field T at Peninsular Malaysia, most of its main producing reservoirs are already depleted. Further data acquisition is crucial to resolve reservoir characterization issues, such as communication, depletion & compartmentalization. However, matured fields often have complex trajectories and depleted zones that succumb to losses during drilling. Hence, optimized data acquisition planning is required to combat both complex reservoir characterization and well operation risk. This paper will discuss the challenges from planning to execution of efficient data acquisition and trouble-free drilling in highly deviated well while having losses and without compromising acquired data quality. The main challenges identified are to log complex multi-stacked reservoirs in shoreface and mouth-bar environment, shifted fluid contact due to production, high inclination well trajectories, wellbore stability and logging in losses environment in depleted zones. Fluid mapping while drilling (FMWD) was brought in to assess the pressure and mobility profile of those depleted reservoirs. Additionally, fluid scanning stations were planned to confirm the fluid type and downhole reservoir sampling was planned in the virgin appraisal target. The result of data acquisition has been used for reservoir characterization in terms of pressure depletion, reservoir communication and compartmentalization. Despite the mud losses that occurred during drilling (5-50bbl/hr.), the logging operation was a success. The acquired data has led to a new understanding of the faulting area, sand continuity and reservoirs heterogeneity. The team managed to get sample of volatile oil which is 1m below the gas oil contact (GOC) and able to quantify CO2 concentration in gas & mixture phase (Oil +OBM filtrate). The result has also proved reservoirs compartmentalization that could not be seen and the log can be biased. This information is crucial in subsurface evaluation in developing matured fields. The decision to adopt the FMWD tool has helped logging operation to continue circulating with control flowrate, avoid well in static condition during long period (>45mins) of logging operation where it reduces the risk of stuck pipe. There was no operational issue of stuck pipe or differential sticking while logging in losses condition. Open hole data acquisition in mature field will always be relevant for reducing subsurface uncertainty. By deploying FMWD for real time data acquisition, the project team was able to save rig days by eliminating dedicated wireline trips and potential wiper trip post logging via conventional wireline. The value of the data acquired will also further reduce the project cost by optimizing the future well placement and well trajectory. The success achieved in this campaign can also be replicated into other brown field development that has the same challenges.
在马来西亚半岛的棕色油田T进行了29年的生产后,其大部分主要生产油藏已经枯竭。进一步的数据采集对于解决储层表征问题至关重要,例如通信、衰竭和分区。然而,成熟油田通常具有复杂的轨迹和枯竭层,在钻井过程中容易发生漏失。因此,需要优化数据采集计划,以应对复杂的油藏特征和井作业风险。本文将讨论从规划到执行高效数据采集和大斜度井的无故障钻井所面临的挑战,同时不影响所采集数据的质量。确定的主要挑战是记录复杂的多层叠储层的岸面和口坝环境,由于生产而改变的流体接触,高斜度井轨迹,井眼稳定性以及在枯竭区损失环境下的测井。采用随钻流体测绘(FMWD)来评估这些枯竭储层的压力和流动性特征。此外,还计划建立流体扫描站以确定流体类型,并计划在原始评价目标中进行井下储层采样。数据采集的结果已用于在压力耗尽、储层连通性和分区方面对储层进行表征。尽管在钻井过程中出现了泥浆漏失(5-50桶/小时),但测井作业是成功的。获得的数据使人们对断裂带、砂体连续性和储层非均质性有了新的认识。该团队成功地获得了气油接触面(GOC)下方1m处的挥发油样本,并能够量化气相和混合物(油+OBM滤液)中的二氧化碳浓度。结果也证明了无法观测到的储层区域化现象和测井可能存在偏差。这些信息对开发成熟油田的地下评价至关重要。采用FMWD工具有助于测井作业在控制流量的情况下继续循环,避免在长时间(>45min)的测井作业中处于静止状态,从而降低了卡钻的风险。在漏失情况下,没有出现卡钻或压差卡钻的操作问题。成熟油田的裸眼数据采集总是与降低地下不确定性相关。通过使用FMWD进行实时数据采集,项目团队能够通过消除常规电缆测井后的专用电缆起下钻和刮刀起下钻,从而节省钻机日。所获取数据的价值还将通过优化未来的井位和井眼轨迹,进一步降低项目成本。在这场运动中取得的成功也可以复制到其他面临同样挑战的棕地开发中。

Further data acquisition is crucial to resolve reservoir characterization issues, such as communication, depletion & compartmentalization. However, matured fields often have complex trajectories and depleted zones that succumb to losses during drilling. Hence, optimized data acquisition planning is required to combat both complex reservoir characterization and well operation risk.\u0000 This paper will discuss the challenges from planning to execution of efficient data acquisition and trouble-free drilling in highly deviated well while having losses and without compromising acquired data quality. The main challenges identified are to log complex multi-stacked reservoirs in shoreface and mouth-bar environment, shifted fluid contact due to production, high inclination well trajectories, wellbore stability and logging in losses environment in depleted zones. Fluid mapping while drilling (FMWD) was brought in to assess the pressure and mobility profile of those depleted reservoirs. Additionally, fluid scanning stations were planned to confirm the fluid type and downhole reservoir sampling was planned in the virgin appraisal target. The result of data acquisition has been used for reservoir characterization in terms of pressure depletion, reservoir communication and compartmentalization.\u0000 Despite the mud losses that occurred during drilling (5-50bbl/hr.), the logging operation was a success. The acquired data has led to a new understanding of the faulting area, sand continuity and reservoirs heterogeneity. The team managed to get sample of volatile oil which is 1m below the gas oil contact (GOC) and able to quantify CO2 concentration in gas & mixture phase (Oil +OBM filtrate). The result has also proved reservoirs compartmentalization that could not be seen and the log can be biased. This information is crucial in subsurface evaluation in developing matured fields. The decision to adopt the FMWD tool has helped logging operation to continue circulating with control flowrate, avoid well in static condition during long period (>45mins) of logging operation where it reduces the risk of stuck pipe. There was no operational issue of stuck pipe or differential sticking while logging in losses condition.\u0000 Open hole data acquisition in mature field will always be relevant for reducing subsurface uncertainty. By deploying FMWD for real time data acquisition, the project team was able to save rig days by eliminating dedicated wireline trips and potential wiper trip post logging via conventional wireline. The value of the data acquired will also further reduce the project cost by optimizing the future well placement and well trajectory.

Digital transformation is a term that continues to be popular with the oil and gas industry. The industry's historic opposition to the adoption of innovative technology seems to be fading as operators, contractors, and service providers alike continue to invest in innovative solutions around not only digital technologies, but also in process and system optimization techniques. However, while operators are more willing to adopt newer and automated technologies, the "proof of value" burden still falls on service companies. Perceived value to operators may vary slightly, but overall, the industry has focused on two core tenants of value: Increased safety and efficiencyPersonnel reduction For widespread adoption of an enhanced digital solution, the technology must not only provide quantifiable value in at least one of the core tenants, but also must repeatably demonstrate the value in the field. The case study presented demonstrates the value added by introducing a new proprietary Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) based solution into the tubular running process. This system allows for tong operation, elevator and slip function, and single joint elevator (SJE) operation to be performed by a single person, rather than three or four personnel crew, as traditionally employed during tubular running operations. All functions are intelligently executed from a triple certified hazardous zone rated wireless tablet by a single operator's command while located inside the driller's cabin. Through the deployment of a new consolidated and intelligent control system, the rig was able to reduce the number of personnel typically required for casing run and rack back operations down to two operators per tower, which equates to as much as a 66% reduction in personnel needed for tubular running operations. Additionally, the system allowed the operator to control the equipment from inside the driller's cabin, which improved communications and reduced red zone exposure by 30% while increasing run time efficiency by as much as 11% on some connection strings.
数字化转型是一个在石油和天然气行业持续流行的术语。随着油公司、承包商和服务提供商继续投资于创新解决方案,不仅围绕数字技术,还包括流程和系统优化技术,行业对采用创新技术的历史反对似乎正在消退。然而,尽管作业者更愿意采用更新的自动化技术,但“证明价值”的重担仍然落在了服务公司身上。运营商的感知价值可能略有不同,但总体而言,行业关注的是两个核心价值:提高安全性和效率;减少人员。为了广泛采用增强型数字解决方案,该技术不仅必须在至少一个核心租户中提供可量化的价值,而且必须在现场反复展示价值。该案例研究展示了在管柱下入过程中引入一种新的专有可编程逻辑控制器(PLC)解决方案所带来的价值。该系统允许长时间作业、提升和滑动功能,以及单接头提升(SJE)作业由一个人完成,而不是像传统的管状下入作业那样需要三到四名工作人员。所有功能都可以在司钻舱内通过一个通过三重危险区域认证的无线平板电脑智能执行。通过部署新的综合智能控制系统,该钻机能够将套管下入和机架回入作业所需的人员数量减少到每塔两名操作人员,相当于将管柱下入作业所需的人员减少了66%。此外,该系统允许作业者在司钻舱内控制设备,从而改善了通信,减少了30%的红色区域暴露,同时在某些连接柱上将运行效率提高了11%。

Recently digital pipeline system has been introduced, advocating the advantages on the simplification of pipeline monitoring, elimination of inspection activities as well as the accessibility of information especially on the wellness of the pipeline(s). For successful implementation of digital pipeline system, availability of Internet of things (IoT); which is the network of physical objects "things" that are embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data with other devices and systems over the Internet, is a must. The problems is IoT is rare or even non-existence for pipelines that have been there before 2005. Despite there are many oil and gas operators who have well advanced in control and monitoring their offshore facilities, they mostly monitor the only pressures and shutdown system. Other than that existing equipment in offshore facilities are often analogue and disconnected. A study on data retrieval feasibility to provide information to develop digital pipeline network for brown field facility arrived with very costly equipment installation. This is due the absent off communication system (DCS) and online measuring equipment (such as flow meter, pressure gauge and temperature sensor) at the required location of many offshore facility. This paper will discuss the feasibility and urgency of implementing of Digital Pipeline Network in offshore facilities most importantly at the existing and aging facilities. It will put across the importance of data retrieval, the required additional equipment and the facility for communication system as well as the assessment of installation hurdles at the aging facilities and the consequential cost requirement. Comprehensive data retrieval at brown field facilities can be achieved through rationalization between automated digital data online reading by installation of wireless IoT system (for equipment to measure pressure, flowrate and temperature) complimented with the existing communication system, manual data retrieval by site visit and network software analysis in order to reduce the material and installation cost while keeping the objectives intact. Pipeline OPEX will be subsequently reduced once AI based technology such as predictive and prescriptive assessment for effective pipeline monitoring and integrity management can be implemented and hence inspection and maintenance program for pipeline(s) can be optimized.
近年来,数字管道系统被引入,倡导简化管道监测,消除检查活动以及获取信息特别是管道健康信息的优势。数字化管道系统的成功实施,物联网(IoT)的可用性;它是物理对象“事物”的网络,嵌入了传感器、软件和其他技术,目的是通过互联网与其他设备和系统连接和交换数据。问题是,对于2005年之前已经存在的管道来说,物联网是罕见的,甚至不存在。尽管许多油气运营商在控制和监测海上设施方面非常先进,但他们主要监测的是唯一的压力和关闭系统。除此之外,海上设施中的现有设备通常是模拟的,并且是断开的。研究数据检索的可行性,为棕地设施的数字化管网建设提供信息。这是由于许多海上设施所需位置缺乏通信系统(DCS)和在线测量设备(如流量计、压力表和温度传感器)。本文将讨论数字化管道网络在海上设施实施的可行性和紧迫性,特别是在现有和老化的设施中。它将说明数据检索的重要性、所需的额外设备和通讯系统设施,以及评估老化设施的安装障碍和相应的费用要求。在现有通信系统的基础上,通过安装无线物联网系统(用于测量压力、流量和温度的设备)实现自动化数字数据在线读取,通过现场访问和网络软件分析进行人工数据检索,从而实现棕地设施的全面数据检索,从而在保持目标不变的情况下减少材料和安装成本。一旦基于人工智能的技术(如用于有效管道监测和完整性管理的预测性和规范性评估)得以实施,管道的运营成本将随之降低,因此可以优化管道的检查和维护计划。

Advance Pulsed Neutron Logging – An Optimized Solution in PMCD Well: Case Study of Oil Discovery in Indonesia 超前脉冲中子测井——PMCD井的优化解决方案:以印尼石油发现为例

ABC-1 exploration well was drilled through a carbonate build-up structure of Ngimbang Formation in offshore East Java, Indonesia. Standard triple-combo open hole logs were acquired by means of logging while drilling, while more advance wireline loggings were planned subsequently. Unfortunately, there were total losses during drilling which had to be managed by pressurized mud cap drilling (PMCD) which prevent from cuttings recovery for the rest of the interval. Multiple trips were also required to drill the well safely resulting in rugose and enlarged borehole. These conditions did not allow open-hole wireline log to access the target located at the lower interval of the well. It was inevitable to complete the well despite not enough data had been acquired to perform a comprehensive formation evaluation. In order to obtain remaining required data, it was decided to complement the compromised open-hole data with an advance pulsed neutron log (PNL) device, which offered several unique measurements to tackle the harsh conditions. Some of these key measurements are: (1) a self-compensation algorithm which provided robust sigma (SIGM) and cased-hole porosity measurement (TPHI), which was used to further validate neutron from LWD. (2) A combination of both capture and inelastic high definition elemental spectra measurement were utilized to obtain accurate mineralogy fraction. (3) carbon-oxygen ratio (COR) high precision measurement to calculate oil saturation. Lastly (4), fast neutron capture cross-section (FNXS) measurement was also acquired to give insight on possible gas occurrence even in tight zones. The advance PNL, acquired over 3 passes, showed consistent reading of sigma, TPHI, FNXS and elemental spectroscopy measurement. However, there were some discrepancies in between COR passes, which eventually has shed some light on what happened in this well. The first pass did not really show any potential oil along the carbonate body. Then, the second pass started to reveal potential oil around the top part of the carbonate, where resistivity is low with no distinctive neutron-density crossover. The third pass revealed an even more oil volume along the top carbonate. There is a possibility that the increase of oil reading might be due to the changing environment during logging, allowing some invasion to dissipate along the carbonate tops. This implies that there might be yet another oil zone below the revealed oil interval, should the invasion fluid start to dissipate. Subsequent well test showed significant oil production over the interval identified from the PNL interpretation, which put ABC-1 as one of the most successful Indonesian exploration well in 2021. This case study shows the success of utilizing advance pulsed neutron log to perform comprehensive formation evaluation under challenging condition, which can be used as reference for tackling similar drilling challenges in the future.
ABC-1探井是在印度尼西亚东爪哇海上Ngimbang组碳酸盐岩堆积构造中钻探的。标准的三组裸眼测井是通过随钻测井的方式获得的,随后计划进行更先进的电缆测井。不幸的是,钻井过程中出现了完全的漏失,必须通过加压泥浆帽钻井(PMCD)来控制,这使得在剩余的井段中无法回收岩屑。为了安全钻井,还需要多次下钻,导致井眼变大。在这种情况下,裸眼电缆测井无法进入井段下部的目标层。尽管没有获得足够的数据来进行全面的地层评价,但完井是不可避免的。为了获得所需的剩余数据,决定使用先进的脉冲中子测井(PNL)设备来补充裸眼数据,该设备提供了几种独特的测量方法,以应对恶劣的条件。其中一些关键测量包括:(1)自补偿算法,该算法提供了鲁棒sigma (SIGM)和套管井孔隙度测量(TPHI),用于进一步验证LWD产生的中子。(2)采用捕获和非弹性高清晰度元素谱测量相结合的方法,获得了精确的矿物组分。(3)碳氧比(COR)高精度测量,计算含油饱和度。最后(4),还获得了快中子捕获截面(FNXS)测量数据,以便深入了解致密层中可能存在的气体。经过3次获取的先进PNL显示出sigma, TPHI, FNXS和元素光谱测量的一致读数。然而,在COR通道之间存在一些差异,这最终揭示了该井发生的事情。第一次探测并没有真正显示出沿碳酸盐体有任何潜在的石油。然后,第二步开始在碳酸盐顶部附近发现潜在的石油,那里的电阻率很低,没有明显的中子密度交叉。第三次探测显示,沿顶部碳酸盐岩的油量更大。有一种可能性是,石油读数的增加可能是由于测井过程中环境的变化,使得一些侵入物沿着碳酸盐岩顶部消散。这意味着,如果侵入流体开始消散,那么在发现的油层下面可能还存在另一个油层。随后的试井显示,在PNL解释确定的区间内,ABC-1的产油量显著,这使得ABC-1成为2021年印尼最成功的勘探井之一。该案例表明,利用先进脉冲中子测井技术在复杂条件下进行地层综合评价是成功的,可为今后解决类似钻井挑战提供参考。

Decommissioning of Splitter Wellhead Wells Splitter井口井的退役

Drilling keeper wells with an open-sea concept by suspending a 36″ conductor to a jackup drilling rig as a temporary structure induced several criticalities in plugging and abandoning the wells. The severity amplified with the two (2) wells are cemented inside the conductor and completed with a splitter wellhead. As per the Malaysia local regulatory, any abandoned wells are to be free from any structure protruding from seabed. This is paramount in confirming the drilled location is free from potential hazards. This splitter design confirmed that conventional cut-and-pull approach is not feasible and multistring cutter is the only solution available. This paper covers the approach and result in performing eccentric cut of fully cemented 2 × 9-5/8″, 2 × 13-3/8″ and a 1.0″ wall thickness 36″ conductor including decommission of a splitter wellhead. In achieving the objective to P&A the keeper wells, an Abrasive Water Jet Cutter (AWJC) is deployed to perform an internal eccentric cut that able to penetrate five (5) cemented casing simultaneously. The cutter is paired up with Drilling Wire Saw (DWS) and Dual Drilling Machine (DDM) as a surface cutter and a "hole-borer" in cutting the retrieved multistring into shorter sections that eliminated the needs to dismantle the splitter wellhead into individual component. Meanwhile, for surface lifting and suspending, an engineered pad eyes, H-beam and lifting frame with pins were required to guarantee a successful operation. AWJC is designed to penetrate structures with extreme pressure, coupled with optimized pre-planned nozzle rotation speed to establish a complete 360° clean cut downhole. The jetting mechanism using the right mixture of water and garnet is crucial in providing sufficient capability to penetrate the conductor size in an eccentric condition considering the worst-case position of the cutter downhole. The significant finding from this P&A operation is understanding the type of garnet and fluid less environment around nozzle cutter head as main contributors for an efficient cutting process. Actual pick-up weight to pull free the pipe was 37% higher than the calculated weight for a complete cut. Hence, the surface capability shall be designed with some marginal tolerance to provide additional lifting capability in case an unsmoothed cut is experienced. Overall, the operation managed to overcome the challenges and uncertainties experienced and mark as a great milestone for the first ever decommission splitter well design in Malaysia.
通过将36″导管悬挂在自升式钻井平台上作为临时结构,在公海概念中钻守井,引发了堵塞和弃井的几个关键问题。当两口井被固井在导管内并使用分离器井口完井时,严重程度就会加剧。根据马来西亚当地的监管规定,任何废弃的油井都不能有任何从海底突出的结构。这对于确认钻井位置没有潜在危险至关重要。这种分流器的设计证实了传统的切割拉拔方法是不可行的,多管柱切割器是唯一可行的解决方案。本文介绍了全胶结2 × 9-5/8″、2 × 13-3/8″和1.0″管壁厚36″套管偏心切割的方法和结果,包括分离器井口的退役。为了实现封堵弃井的目标,使用了磨料水射流切割器(AWJC)进行内部偏心切割,能够同时穿透5个胶结套管。该切割器与钻线锯(DWS)和双钻床(DDM)配合使用,作为地面切割器和“钻孔机”,将回收的多管柱切割成更短的部分,从而省去了将分离器井口拆卸成单个组件的需要。同时,对于地面提升和悬挂,需要一个工程垫眼、h型钢和带销的提升框架来保证成功的操作。AWJC设计用于在极端压力下穿透结构,再加上优化的预先规划的喷嘴旋转速度,可以在井下建立完整的360°干净切割。考虑到井下切割器的最坏位置,在偏心情况下,使用合适的水和石榴石混合物的喷射机制对于提供足够的穿透导体尺寸的能力至关重要。此次弃井作业的重要发现是了解了石榴石的类型和喷嘴切割头周围的无流体环境是有效切割过程的主要因素。将管柱拉出的实际重量比一次完整切割的计算重量高37%。因此,在设计表面能力时应留有一定的边际容差,以便在遇到不光滑的切割时提供额外的提升能力。总的来说,该作业成功地克服了所经历的挑战和不确定性,并标志着马来西亚有史以来第一个退役分离器井设计的重要里程碑。

This splitter design confirmed that conventional cut-and-pull approach is not feasible and multistring cutter is the only solution available. This paper covers the approach and result in performing eccentric cut of fully cemented 2 × 9-5/8″, 2 × 13-3/8″ and a 1.0″ wall thickness 36″ conductor including decommission of a splitter wellhead. In achieving the objective to P&A the keeper wells, an Abrasive Water Jet Cutter (AWJC) is deployed to perform an internal eccentric cut that able to penetrate five (5) cemented casing simultaneously. The cutter is paired up with Drilling Wire Saw (DWS) and Dual Drilling Machine (DDM) as a surface cutter and a \"hole-borer\" in cutting the retrieved multistring into shorter sections that eliminated the needs to dismantle the splitter wellhead into individual component. Meanwhile, for surface lifting and suspending, an engineered pad eyes, H-beam and lifting frame with pins were required to guarantee a successful operation. AWJC is designed to penetrate structures with extreme pressure, coupled with optimized pre-planned nozzle rotation speed to establish a complete 360° clean cut downhole. The jetting mechanism using the right mixture of water and garnet is crucial in providing sufficient capability to penetrate the conductor size in an eccentric condition considering the worst-case position of the cutter downhole. The significant finding from this P&A operation is understanding the type of garnet and fluid less environment around nozzle cutter head as main contributors for an efficient cutting process. Actual pick-up weight to pull free the pipe was 37% higher than the calculated weight for a complete cut. Hence, the surface capability shall be designed with some marginal tolerance to provide additional lifting capability in case an unsmoothed cut is experienced. Overall, the operation managed to overcome the challenges and uncertainties experienced and mark as a great milestone for the first ever decommission splitter well design in Malaysia.","PeriodicalId":11011,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Thu, March 24, 2022","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82800020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tunu is one of Mahakam fields with majority gas production. The depositional nature of fluvial with minimum tidal influence results in the signature of delta sedimentation by hundred layers of gas-bearing sand lenses as pay zone. They are constructed of unconsolidated clean and shaly sand reservoirs at the shallower burial and higher consolidation at deeper burial due to compaction and diagenesis. The unconsolidated section requires sand control as mandatory means to unlock it safely. The combined challenge of numerous sand layers and marginal reserves makes it economically impossible to perform regular detailed physical sand grain assessment by individual conventional coring completed with Laser Particle Sieve Analysis (LPSA). An economic approach is through performing sand bailing. However, the bailed sand dry-sieve results were confusing with wide particle size distribution (PSD) curve variation from several well samples. Referring to this PSD uncertainty, installing straddled thru-tubing screen in front of the reservoir as sand control resulted in good production and plugged indication at the beginning of the initiative by utilizing a similar screen opening size. Thus, a new fit-for-purpose methodology was required. A study to predict sand grain size on each reservoir target was initiated by analyzing three available shallow reservoir cores in Mahakam, which could cover most of Tunu's shallow sedimentation type. The result was that most of the sand grain size distribution on each sample core correlated with their calculated shale volume content (v-shale). Lower v-shale is respected to larger sand grain size. Unconsolidated Tunu Shallow reservoir doesn't contain any specific radioactive minerals. Thus, v-shale could be easily calculated from gamma-ray logs, which are always available on each reservoir target at any drilled wells. The relationship between sand grain size and v-shale was gathered on a single map. The map was then validated by historical screen installation. Positive results were seen when screen size selection respects specific patterns on the generated sand map at the v-shale value of perforation intervals. Thru-tubing screen installation campaign was continued following the new sand map reference. It could deliver more than 80% successful installation with no plugging or sand at a new perforated reservoir when no screen integrity issue due to erosion was encountered. This novel approach allowed better prediction of thru-tubing screen opening size requirements and perforation interval selection in Tunu unconsolidated reservoir and was successfully expanded in offshore Mahakam field at similar facies.
Tunu是Mahakam的主要气田之一。潮汐影响最小的河流沉积性质,形成了以百层含气砂透镜体为产层的三角洲沉积特征。浅层埋深处为未固结的洁净泥质砂储层,深层因压实作用和成岩作用形成较高的固结砂储层。未固结段需要防砂作为安全解锁的强制手段。大量砂层和边际储量的综合挑战使得通过激光颗粒筛分析(LPSA)完成单个常规取心来进行常规详细的物理砂粒评估在经济上是不可能的。一种经济的方法是通过进行沙坑。然而,由于几口井样品的粒径分布(PSD)曲线变化较大,因此,脱砂干筛结果令人困惑。考虑到这种PSD的不确定性,在储层前面安装跨式过油管筛管防砂,通过使用类似的筛管开口尺寸,获得了良好的生产效果,并在作业开始时显示出堵塞迹象。因此,需要一种新的适合目的的方法。通过分析Mahakam地区三个可用的浅层储层岩心,对每个储层目标层的砂粒度进行了预测研究,这些岩心可以覆盖Tunu的大部分浅层沉积类型。结果表明,每个样品岩心上的大部分砂粒度分布与其计算的页岩体积含量(v-shale)相关。下v型页岩的砂粒尺寸较大。未固结土努浅层储层不含任何特定的放射性矿物。因此,v型页岩可以很容易地从伽马射线测井曲线中计算出来,这些测井曲线在任何一口井的每个储层目标上都是可用的。将砂岩粒度与v型页岩的关系集中在一张图上。然后通过历史屏幕安装验证该地图。当筛管尺寸选择符合射孔段v-页岩值上生成的砂图的特定模式时,可以看到积极的结果。根据新的砂图参考,继续进行过油管筛管安装工作。在新射孔油藏中,如果没有因侵蚀而导致筛管完整性问题,该系统的安装成功率可达80%以上,无堵塞或出砂。这种新方法可以更好地预测Tunu松散油藏的过油管筛管开孔尺寸要求和射孔间隔选择,并成功推广到类似相的海上Mahakam油田。
