Turbomachinery is recognized as one of the most important equipment in oil and gas facilities. Major issues identified are the monitoring of turbomachinery health condition; recognizing equipment failure patterns; reducing unplanned repair costs; ensuring uninterrupted production and avoiding unscheduled downtime. Thus, there is a need of innovative digital solution to address the highlighted issues. This paper will explain the transformation journey that has been endured by PETRONAS Upstream in crafting the journey in digitalizing the remote monitoring and operations for turbomachinery and major rotating equipment. The transformation journey started back in 2014 where the upstream assets were deploying various Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) remote monitoring solutions, which require additional hardware installation at site, significant capital expenditure and monthly subscription for each OEMThe strategy hit a setback when oil price went down which requires significant cost cutting measures. Applying the mantra of "Do More With Less", the asset collaborated with the Centre of Operational Excellence (CoE) to develop their own solution which was branded as Prescriptive Rotating Equipment Analytics (PROTEAN), which eventually replaced all OEM solutions in the long run. Defying the norm, all changed when the PETRONAS Upstream Operational Excellence team decided to embark on the digital journey by developing an in-house predictive analytics tool which is capable to identify anomalies trends, highlight potential incipient failures and identify opportunities for reliability improvement of the turbomachinery equipment. The pilot implementation was conducted in 2017 via implementation on 2 units of supercritical turbomachinery equipment. Following the the successful implementation, PROTEAN was upscaled and expanded to cover more than 200 units of major rotating equipment located at 23 offshore platforms, 6 onshore terminals located within Malaysia, International Assets as well as the world first Floating Liquified Natural Gas i.e. PETRONAS PFLNG Satu. PROTEAN+ provides a niche edge in supporting data driven maintenance, understanding the machinery deteroriation rate and justifying the extension of Mean Time Between Overhaul (MTBO). PROTEAN+ also provides the prescriptive analytics based on the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) of each specific rotating equipment. To date; PROTEAN has generated more than 700 alerts since 2017 resulting in USD50 Million of cost avoidance from unplanned production deferment and unplanned repair cost.

涡轮机械是公认的油气设施中最重要的设备之一。确定的主要问题是对涡轮机械健康状况的监测;识别设备故障模式;减少计划外维修成本;确保不间断生产,避免计划外停机。因此,需要创新的数字解决方案来解决突出的问题。本文将解释马来西亚国家石油公司上游公司在涡轮机械和主要旋转设备的数字化远程监控和操作过程中所经历的转型之旅。转型之旅始于2014年,当时上游资产部署了各种原始设备制造商(OEM)远程监控解决方案,这需要在现场安装额外的硬件,需要大量的资本支出,并且每个OEM都需要每月订阅。当油价下跌时,这一战略遭遇挫折,需要采取重大的成本削减措施。该资产与卓越运营中心(CoE)合作开发了自己的解决方案,该解决方案被称为规范旋转设备分析(PROTEAN),从长远来看,最终取代了所有OEM解决方案。当马来西亚国家石油公司上游运营卓越团队决定开始数字化之旅时,一切都改变了,他们开发了一种内部预测分析工具,能够识别异常趋势,突出潜在的早期故障,并识别涡轮机械设备可靠性改进的机会。2017年在2台超临界涡轮机械设备上进行了试点实施。在成功实施之后,PROTEAN进行了升级和扩展,覆盖了位于马来西亚境内的23个海上平台,6个陆上终端,国际资产以及世界上第一个浮式液化天然气(即PETRONAS PFLNG Satu)的200多个主要旋转设备。PROTEAN+在支持数据驱动的维护、了解机器劣化率和延长平均大修间隔时间(MTBO)方面提供了优势。PROTEAN+还提供基于每个特定旋转设备的故障模式和影响分析(FMEA)的规定性分析。到目前为止;自2017年以来,PROTEAN已经产生了700多个警报,从而避免了5000万美元的计划外生产延迟和计划外维修成本。该过程还包括技术准备水平(TRL)过程,这对于获得最终用户的信心水平至关重要。最后,本文将重点介绍汽轮机数字化远程监控和操作转型过程中的关键成功因素和关键经验教训。本文就如何在不牺牲技术功能和维持技术能力建设的情况下进一步优化整体运营支出,分享转型过程中的经验。通过了解实施数字化解决方案的关键成功因素,这是一个关于如何在数字化方面构建自己的商业案例并避免创建另一个白象解决方案的真实例子。

This paper presents the success story of an exploration well in Malaysia evaluating the conventional approach of stacked cement plugs against the use of sacrificial tubing with a hydraulic disconnect sub system. Plug and Abandonment (P&A) is the process where the well is sealed permanently, and permanent well barrier must extend across the full cross section prior rig move. It is vital to ensure that plugged wells do not leak after abandonment, as there could be several potential leak paths or channeling from microannulus. Thus, well integrity shall be the utmost priority in designing the P&A strategy. Conventional P&A requires multiple cement plugs of a given length to be set and pressure tested, which could however be quite time-consuming and thus costly. The number of cement plugs will be based on the length of the open hole section, hydrocarbon zones presence or caprock to meet the P&A guidelines. The guidelines require that cement plugs be placed and tested across any open hydrocarbon-bearing formations, across all casing shoes, across freshwater aquifers, and perhaps several other areas near the surface. The thought process, design requirement both for the hardware and cement slurry, and execution follow through of a P&A approach with a sacrificial tubing method, driving for cost savings and operational efficiency will be elaborated. Some of the key points for replication based on lessons learnt are P&A with sacrificial tubing is economical justified for well scenario. As for the design, tubing centralizers or rotation is required in deviated hole for proper cement placement. Rotation of tubing during cementing is recommended for effective mud removal and cement placement for the case of no centralizer placement. This paper provides the novelty of the extensive planning, execution and improvement methods that will aid the project team to save cost and time in plug and abandonment (P&A) the well.
本文介绍了马来西亚的一口探井的成功案例,该探井评估了传统的水泥塞叠加方法与液压分离系统牺牲油管的对比。封井弃井(P&A)是对油井进行永久密封的过程,永久性井眼屏障必须在钻机移动之前延伸到整个横截面。确保封堵井在废弃后不发生泄漏至关重要,因为可能存在几个潜在的泄漏路径或微环空通道。因此,在设计封堵弃井策略时,井的完整性是重中之重。传统的封堵弃井作业需要多个给定长度的水泥塞进行坐封和压力测试,这既耗时又昂贵。水泥塞的数量将根据裸眼段的长度、是否存在油气层或盖层来确定,以满足P&A准则。该指南要求在任何开放的含油气地层、所有套管鞋、淡水含水层以及可能靠近地面的其他区域放置和测试水泥塞。本节将详细阐述思考过程、硬件和水泥浆的设计要求,以及采用牺牲油管的P&A方法的执行过程,以节省成本和提高作业效率。借鉴经验教训的一些关键点是,牺牲油管的弃井作业在井况中是经济合理的。在设计上,在斜井眼需要使用油管扶正器或旋转器,以保证水泥的正确投放。在没有安装扶正器的情况下,建议在固井期间旋转油管,以有效地清除泥浆和固井。本文提供了广泛的规划、执行和改进方法的新颖性,这些方法将帮助项目团队节省封堵和弃井(P&A)的成本和时间。

Hydrocarbon Saturation Determination in Case of Total Losses: Invasion Profile Modelling with Dual Resistivity – A Possible Application in PMCD Drilling 全漏失情况下的油气饱和度测定:双电阻率侵入剖面建模-在PMCD钻井中的可能应用

Formation evaluation and appraisal in Central Luconia carbonate reef is challenging when drilling operation change from conventional drilling to pressurised mud cap drilling (PMCD). PMCD drilling has always been the choice to deal with unmanageable losses condition. It is normally applied in carbonate reservoir with karst and vugs. Under this drilling condition, annular pressure and surface pressure is maintained above the formation that is able to take the cuttings and fluids. At the same time, light annular fluid is pumped down the annulus to maintain hole fill and avoid gas migration. Seawater, acts as sacrificial mud is pumped down the drill string to cool the bit and to transport the cuttings to loss zones. Meanwhile, for an exploration well, the primary objective is to prove hydrocarbon presence and hydrocarbon fluid contact through logging while drilling (LWD) as wireline logging is not favourable from operational perspective. One of the key challenges of interpreting hydrocarbon saturation in PMCD operation is suppression of resistivity value due to sea-water invasion. Indeed, with PMCD, the well is appeared to have high water saturation even though 1 MHz phase shift 36" spacing deep phase resistivity is used in the interpretation. However, this is inconsistent with gas kick occurred at the top of carbonate or gas shows prior to conversion from conventional drilling to PMCD operation. Another observation of resistivity log response in PMCD drilling is that the phase shift resistivity from different sensor spacing (6", 12", 24" and 36", with smaller number indicate shallower depth of investigation, and higher number indicate deeper depth of investigation) appears to have separation, which indicates invasion profile which happens at one time-frame. Although 1D inversion for true resistivity (Rt) can be carried out with multiple sensor spacing phase resistivity and invasion diameter (Di) as inputs, the inversion result does not yield satisfactory result that match pre-PMCD resistivity value. The objective of the paper/ abstract is to highlight the benefits or running dual – resistivity in LWD bottom-hole assembly (BHA) in PMCD well to capture time-lapse resistivity measurement, estimate Rt which is time-dependant and pin-pointing gas-water contact in the exploration/ appraisal wells. This new proposed concept and methodology is still at its early stage, yet designed to make better decision during operational time. Such an approach will provide benefits to petrophysics community in the PMCD well interpretation with minimal incremental cost.
随着钻井作业从常规钻井转向加压泥浆帽钻井(PMCD), Central Luconia碳酸盐岩礁的地层评价与评价面临挑战。PMCD钻井一直是处理难以控制的漏失情况的选择。通常应用于具有岩溶和溶洞的碳酸盐岩储层。在这种钻井条件下,环空压力和地面压力保持在能够带走岩屑和流体的地层上方。同时,将轻质环空流体泵入环空,以保持井眼充填,避免气体运移。海水作为牺牲泥浆被泵入钻柱以冷却钻头并将岩屑输送到漏失层。同时,对于一口探井来说,主要目的是通过随钻测井(LWD)来证明油气的存在和油气流体的接触,因为从操作角度来看,电缆测井并不有利。在PMCD作业中,解释油气饱和度的关键挑战之一是由于海水侵入而抑制电阻率值。事实上,使用PMCD,即使在解释中使用1 MHz相移36”间距深相电阻率,该井的含水饱和度也很高。然而,这与常规钻井转换为PMCD作业之前发生在碳酸盐岩顶部或气层的气涌不一致。PMCD钻井中电阻率测井响应的另一个观察结果是,不同传感器间距(6”、12”、24”和36”,数值越小表示探测深度越浅,数值越大表示探测深度越深)的相移电阻率出现分离现象,表明入侵剖面发生在同一时间段。以多传感器间距相电阻率和侵入直径Di为输入,虽然可以进行真电阻率(Rt)的一维反演,但反演结果与pmcd前电阻率值并不匹配。本文的目的是强调在PMCD井的LWD底部钻具组合(BHA)中使用双电阻率的好处,以获取时移电阻率测量数据,估计随时间变化的Rt,并在勘探/评价井中精确定位气水接触。这个新提出的概念和方法仍处于早期阶段,但旨在在操作期间做出更好的决策。这种方法将以最小的增量成本为岩石物理学界提供PMCD井解释的好处。

In the Netherlands, a large number of onshore wells are near urban areas or close to forests where environmental emission and noise reduction are important to consider. With more than 23 different well site locations to be abandoned, a significant amount of collaboration is required to ensure there is minimal interruption and impact to the local community and the environment. To achieve this, the operator together with Baker Hughes as the project management lead, formulated a unique, low-impact solution with fully electrified equipment that mostly uses grid power. Alongside other service partners, the majority of the onsite equipment are electrically driven, such as the rigless well abandonment unit, cement pumps, ancillary equipment, and the slickline unit. A noise dampener and decibel readers were put in place to minimize and track sound emissions. Such collaboration and integration with all providers were carefully identified and mitigated through a series of non-technical risks (NTRs) to ensure compliance with local regulations. Extra steps were taken to ensure that smell and noise remain unnoticed by the surrounding environment. Frequent communications are sent to the public by the operator to keep everyone informed prior to any mobilization. After a one-year campaign, there have been zero LTI, zero accidents, zero non-compliance incidents and above all, safe and secured end-of-life oil wells in an urban setting with many more to follow suit. This paper will provide insight into the integrated operations of a well abandonment project in a unique urban setting and the challenges to successfully abandon wells of varying complexity. This project is to be accomplished in compliance with the local mining and environmental regulations with no remaining liabilities, all while limiting total project costs. The supply chain stepped up by providing a cost-effective solution through multi-party collaboration, multi-skilling, technology innovation, and logistical solutions. The project planning, start-up phase, and an overview of the first year of operations will be presented.
在荷兰,大量的陆上井位于城市附近或森林附近,这些地方的环境排放和噪音降低是重要的考虑因素。由于有超过23个不同的井位将被废弃,因此需要进行大量的合作,以确保对当地社区和环境的影响最小化。为了实现这一目标,作业者与项目管理负责人贝克休斯共同制定了一种独特的低影响解决方案,该解决方案采用全电气化设备,主要使用电网供电。与其他服务伙伴一样,大部分现场设备都是电动的,例如无钻机弃井装置、水泥泵、辅助设备和钢丝绳装置。安装了噪音减震器和分贝读数器,以最大限度地减少和跟踪声音排放。通过一系列非技术风险(ntr),仔细识别并减轻了与所有供应商的这种协作和集成,以确保遵守当地法规。采取了额外的措施,以确保周围环境不会注意到气味和噪音。运营商经常向公众发送通信,以便在任何动员之前让每个人都了解情况。经过一年的活动,没有LTI,没有事故,没有违规事件,最重要的是,在城市环境中安全可靠的报废油井,还有更多的人效仿。本文将深入了解在独特的城市环境中弃井项目的综合作业,以及成功弃井所面临的挑战。该项目将在遵守当地采矿和环境法规的情况下完成,没有剩余的负债,同时限制项目总成本。通过多方协作、多技能、技术创新和物流解决方案,提供具有成本效益的解决方案,加快了供应链的步伐。将介绍项目规划、启动阶段和第一年业务的概述。

Striving Towards Zero Gas Emission 努力迈向零气体排放
Pub Date : 2022-03-18 DOI: 10.4043/31392-ms

Greenhouse gas emission (GHG) is the main contributor to global warming, so the industry players need to take a huge step to reduce GHG. Furthermore, the implementation of carbon tax has eroded oil project values and drives teams to think about ways to reduce the carbon tax. This paper highlights the subsurface studies, gas balancing method, and surface modification effort to reduce the gas emission in Field B while reaping the benefits not just of reduced carbon tax but increased oil production and revenue. Gas injection is not just increasing reservoir pressure but also reduces emission. Several reservoirs in the field have been depleted by 66% to 500 psi. The team converted the existing oil wells to gas injection wells instead of spending high CAPEX to drill new gas injection well. This way the team can confirm the benefit of gas injection with a low-risk cash injection. The field has a high amount of unproduced Non-Associated Gas (NAG), but this NAG cannot be produced without a gas evacuation plan. Producing the NAG will cause the field to vent higher with existing facilities installations. So, the team came out with a plan to monetize the gas by installing a new gas pipeline and new gas processing platform. Furthermore, the Associated Gas (AG) which was vented previously can be channeled to the new compression system to further reduce the emission. Currently, the gas from the surge tank is lined up straight to the vent stack. A Vapour Recovery Unit (VRU) was proposed to install upstream of the surge vessels. The VRU will pump the gas back to an AG gas compressor and straight to the gas sales line. The gas injection project has increased the reservoir pressure from 500 psi to 700 psi. As a result, one idle well reactivated to produce oil, two wells were drilled from the same reservoir, and gas venting was reduced by up to 7 MMscf/d. Because of this success, several other wells were identified for gas injection candidates in other reservoirs. NAG gas project is expected to provide 100 MMscf/d revenue. In addition to that, the NAG project also helps to reduce AG venting because of AG compressor limitations. The additional AG volumes are around 5 MMscf/d. VRU installation is still undergoing doability and commerciality study because the gas from the surge vessel is minimal.

温室气体排放(GHG)是全球变暖的主要原因,因此行业参与者需要在减少温室气体排放方面迈出一大步。此外,碳税的实施已经侵蚀了石油项目的价值,并促使团队考虑减少碳税的方法。本文重点介绍了地下研究、气体平衡方法和地面改造工作,以减少B油田的气体排放,同时不仅可以减少碳税,还可以增加石油产量和收入。注气不仅可以增加储层压力,还可以减少排放。该油田的几个储层已经枯竭66%至500psi。该团队将现有油井改造为注气井,而不是花费高昂的资本支出来钻探新的注气井。通过这种方式,团队可以通过低风险的现金注入来确认注气的好处。该油田有大量未开采的非伴生气(NAG),但如果没有天然气抽放计划,就无法开采这些非伴生气。生产NAG将导致现有设施的排气口升高。因此,该团队提出了一个计划,通过安装新的天然气管道和新的天然气处理平台来实现天然气的货币化。此外,以前排放的伴生气体(AG)可以引入新的压缩系统,以进一步减少排放。目前,调压箱里的气体是直接排到排气口的。建议在喘振容器的上游安装蒸汽回收装置(VRU)。VRU将把气体泵回AG气体压缩机,并直接输送到气体销售管道。注气项目将储层压力从500psi提高到700psi。结果,一口闲置井重新投入生产,在同一储层钻了两口井,天然气排放量减少了700万立方英尺/天。由于这一成功,其他储层的其他几口井也被确定为注气候选井。NAG天然气项目预计将提供1亿立方英尺/天的收入。除此之外,由于AG压缩机的限制,NAG项目还有助于减少AG排放。额外的AG产量约为500万立方英尺/天。VRU的安装仍在进行可行性和商业化研究,因为从调压容器流出的气体很少。然而,如果VRU的安装被提出,该团队实现零气体排放的梦想就更近了一步。因为现场没有很好地为每台设备配备一个燃气表。准确和理解气体平衡估算对于实现零气体排放至关重要。

Furthermore, the implementation of carbon tax has eroded oil project values and drives teams to think about ways to reduce the carbon tax.\u0000 This paper highlights the subsurface studies, gas balancing method, and surface modification effort to reduce the gas emission in Field B while reaping the benefits not just of reduced carbon tax but increased oil production and revenue.\u0000 Gas injection is not just increasing reservoir pressure but also reduces emission. Several reservoirs in the field have been depleted by 66% to 500 psi. The team converted the existing oil wells to gas injection wells instead of spending high CAPEX to drill new gas injection well. This way the team can confirm the benefit of gas injection with a low-risk cash injection.\u0000 The field has a high amount of unproduced Non-Associated Gas (NAG), but this NAG cannot be produced without a gas evacuation plan. Producing the NAG will cause the field to vent higher with existing facilities installations. So, the team came out with a plan to monetize the gas by installing a new gas pipeline and new gas processing platform. Furthermore, the Associated Gas (AG) which was vented previously can be channeled to the new compression system to further reduce the emission.\u0000 Currently, the gas from the surge tank is lined up straight to the vent stack. A Vapour Recovery Unit (VRU) was proposed to install upstream of the surge vessels. The VRU will pump the gas back to an AG gas compressor and straight to the gas sales line.\u0000 The gas injection project has increased the reservoir pressure from 500 psi to 700 psi. As a result, one idle well reactivated to produce oil, two wells were drilled from the same reservoir, and gas venting was reduced by up to 7 MMscf/d. Because of this success, several other wells were identified for gas injection candidates in other reservoirs.\u0000 NAG gas project is expected to provide 100 MMscf/d revenue. In addition to that, the NAG project also helps to reduce AG venting because of AG compressor limitations. The additional AG volumes are around 5 MMscf/d.\u0000 VRU installation is still undergoing doability and commerciality study because the gas from the surge vessel is minimal.

At the in-depth development phase, the current horizontal infill campaign in H oil field targets reservoirs with high remaining oil potential and the diverse complexities subject to both structural and lithological controls. These structural and lithological reservoirs are characterized by the uncertainties of formation dip and oil/water contact (OWC), severe stratigraphic heterogeneity, lateral properties change, poor sandstone connectivity, and thickness variation (less than 5 m) of the oil column and interbeds. To effectively squeeze the potential remaining reserves, the scope of the current infill campaign mainly encompasses: (1) the limited crests of the anticlinal traps with uncertain oil column and lateral changed reservoir, and (2) the unexploited marginal areas close to the reservoir pinchout line. Accordingly, it is necessary to quantitatively update the reservoir-scale subsurface profile and execute well placement operations by addressing the above uncertainties with individualized services and workflow. In these diverse reservoirs, interwell structural and stratigraphic uncertainties are high because resolution of large-scale seismic data and depth-of-investigation (DOI) of small-scale conventional logging data are limited. On these grounds, a high-definition boundary detection service (HDBDS) was employed, which can provide a stochastic resistivity inversion to remotely identify quantitative subsurface features with DOI up to 6 m and resolution of approximately 1 m. Its advantage of balancing resolution and DOI can induce the accurate description of high-definition interwell details, including formation superposition configuration, reservoir pinchout points, and dynamic OWC. Furthermore, HDBDS inversion can combine 3D seismic data and conventional logging data to effectively induce the workflow from subsurface uncertainty management to the quantitative reservoir-scale profile update and well placement. HDBDS inversion-derived workflow effectively contributed to us achieving our objectives of this infill campaign by generally revealing the high-definition reservoir profiles along the horizontal sections. Up to four boundaries and five layers were mapped simultaneously with a maximum of 3 m distance from the borehole. High coverage and probability of the updated quantitative features induced the higher reservoir profile update rate in these specific environments than that based on the conventional services. In the complex developed areas mainly subject to both structural and lithological controls, the reservoir top, lateral changed properties, and dynamic tilted OWC were quantitatively inverted to identify the effective 1.5- to 3-m oil column, lower than prognosed 5-m column. In the lithological-control reservoirs at block margins, formation superposition configuration, pinchout points, and lateral properties changing features were clearly delineated. Accordingly, the quantitative well placement operations were efficiently executed
在深度开发阶段,H油田目前的水平充填活动针对的是剩余油潜力高且受构造和岩性控制的复杂油藏。这些构造和岩性油藏具有地层倾角和油水接触(OWC)不确定性、地层非均质性严重、横向物性变化、砂岩连通性差、油柱和互层厚度变化(小于5 m)等特点。为了有效挤压潜在剩余储量,目前的充填范围主要包括:(1)油柱不确定、储层侧向变化的背斜圈闭的有限波峰和(2)靠近储层针尖线的未开发边缘区域。因此,有必要定量更新储层规模的地下剖面,并通过个性化的服务和工作流程来解决上述不确定性,从而实施配井作业。在这些多样化的储层中,由于大尺度地震资料的分辨率和小尺度常规测井资料的调查深度(DOI)有限,井间构造和地层的不确定性很高。基于此,采用高分辨率边界探测服务(HDBDS),该服务可以提供随机电阻率反演,远程识别定量地下特征,DOI高达6 m,分辨率约为1 m。其平衡分辨率和DOI的优势可以精确描述高清晰度井间细节,包括地层叠加配置、储层尖点和动态井间含水率。此外,HDBDS反演可以将三维地震数据与常规测井数据相结合,有效地引导了从地下不确定性管理到定量油藏规模剖面更新和井位的工作流程。基于HDBDS的反演工作流程有效地帮助我们实现了本次充填活动的目标,从而大致揭示了沿水平段的高清晰油藏剖面。最多四个边界和五个层同时绘制,距离钻孔最多3米。在这些特定的环境中,更新的定量特征的高覆盖率和概率导致了比基于常规服务的油藏剖面更新率更高。在主要受构造和岩性控制的复杂发育区,定量反演了储层顶部、横向变化物性和动态倾斜的含水率,确定了有效的1.5 ~ 3 m油柱,低于预测的5 m油柱。在块体边缘控岩性油藏中,清晰地圈定了地层叠加构型、尖点和横向物性变化特征。因此,定量配井作业能够有效地分配连接多个砂岩体的实际光滑轨迹,风险较小,并且最大限度地避免了倾斜的OWC。反演工作流程的定量结果可以进一步优化完井配置、水驱增产效率和井网,通过有效挤压这些复杂结构和岩性油藏中的剩余油,尽可能地推动开发极限。

This paper describes the SPM Integrity Management approach using risk based strategies for Single Point Mooring (SPM) throughout its asset life cycle, to ensure that there is a structural integrity management processes are implemented and SPM asset fitness for purpose is always maintained. SPM is one of the most important assets for any oil and gas upstream business, as its primary function is for product export and offloading operations. PETRONAS UPSTREAM currently operate seven (7) Single Point Mooring (SPM) assets for its Malaysia Upstream/ Downstream. To manage the integrity of the SPMs, an Integrity Management system has been developed and includes newer assets and those that are approaching or exceeding design lives. To optimize and focus limited resources toward critical activities, a SPM risk-based strategy and methodology for the SPM assets has been developed. The risk based inspection approach is aligned with the Structural Integrity Management (SIM) processes of DATA, EVALUATION, STRATEGY PROGRAM of the API RP2SIM code of practice. A qualitative risk based integrity management has been developed and for its implementation, inspection and maintenance activities shall target high expenditure items. SPM design, characteristic, assessment, and inspection data have been compiled and utilized in the risk based approach development. With this risk-based approach, PETRONAS can optimize and significantly reduce its inspection and maintenance activities whilst keeping operational risk levels within acceptable limits. The risk-based approach provides that added advantage to look at inspections and maintenance activities critically and make informed decisions on resourcing and aligning inspection & maintenance campaigns for the future. Inspection and maintenance measures also include an anomaly management, RBI, data management and inspections scopes of work which are being digitized and maintained within the Company's Structural Integrity Compliance System (SICS).
本文介绍了在单点系泊(SPM)的整个资产生命周期中使用基于风险的策略的SPM完整性管理方法,以确保实施结构完整性管理流程,并始终保持SPM资产的适用性。SPM是任何油气上游企业最重要的资产之一,因为它的主要功能是产品出口和卸载作业。PETRONAS UPSTREAM目前在马来西亚的上游/下游运营着7个单点系泊(SPM)资产。为了管理spm的完整性,已经开发了一个完整性管理系统,其中包括较新的资产和那些接近或超过设计寿命的资产。为了优化和集中有限的资源用于关键活动,已经开发了基于SPM风险的SPM资产策略和方法。基于风险的检查方法与API RP2SIM实践规范中的数据、评估、策略程序的结构完整性管理(SIM)过程保持一致。已制定了基于定性风险的完整性管理,为实施该管理,检查和维护活动应针对高支出项目。SPM的设计、特征、评估和检查数据已被汇编并用于基于风险的方法开发。通过这种基于风险的方法,马来西亚国家石油公司可以优化并显着减少其检查和维护活动,同时将操作风险水平保持在可接受的范围内。基于风险的方法提供了额外的优势,可以批判性地看待检查和维护活动,并为未来的资源配置和调整检查和维护活动做出明智的决策。检查和维护措施还包括异常管理、RBI、数据管理和检查工作范围,这些工作正在数字化,并在公司的结构完整性合规系统(SICS)中进行维护。

Use of Surface Desander to Bring Back Subsea Production. How to Overcome Reservoir, Well and Facilities Challenges 使用地面除砂器恢复海底产量如何克服油藏、井和设施方面的挑战

A subsea well in Deepwater field in Malaysia observed high sand production during the first half of 2019, this well had been on production for around 7 years. Further evaluation during the second half of 2019 determined that the downhole sand control had been compromised and the well would require intervention to bring back its locked in potential. Technical and Economical evaluations were conducted to determine the most feasible well restoration activity. This paper covers the aspects from technology selection to operation challenges and identified solutions. Riserless well intervention was initially identified to restore production from this well and compared with other alternatives. After technical and economical evaluations, the use of a surface desander was identified as the best solution to unlock production from this well while a more permanent solution was evaluated. A surface desander was installed upstream of first stage separation. Well and facilities operating envelopes were updated to determine the operating window for the well as per last observed conditions before the well was shut in. However, once the well was back online a much higher than anticipated watercut was observed and different solutions, in term of surface settings, were tested to determine a new operation window. The use of surface desander to handle subsea sand control failure requires a steady flow against a significant choke to the flowline at the end of the riser. Changes in reservoir watercut provided a significant challenge to flow the well at steady conditions and limited the efficacy of surface desander. Flow assurance is a key parameter to avoid sand deposition along the subsea flowline to the platform. Use of a neighbor well proved to allow continuous steady production and a new logic was designed to maximize production from both wells while keeping sand from reaching the production facilities.
马来西亚深水油田的一口海底井在2019年上半年发现了大量出砂,这口井已经生产了大约7年。2019年下半年的进一步评估确定,井下防砂已经受损,需要进行干预以恢复其锁定的潜力。进行了技术和经济评估,以确定最可行的油井恢复活动。本文涵盖了从技术选择到操作挑战和确定解决方案的各个方面。无隔水管井干预最初被确定为恢复该井的产量,并与其他替代方案进行了比较。经过技术和经济评估,地面除砂器的使用被确定为解锁该井产量的最佳解决方案,同时对更持久的解决方案进行了评估。在一级分离的上游安装了一个表面除砂器。根据关井前最后一次观察到的情况,更新了油井和设施的作业封包,以确定油井的作业窗口。然而,一旦井重新投产,观察到的含水率远高于预期,并且根据地面设置测试了不同的解决方案,以确定新的操作窗口。使用地面除砂器来处理海底防砂故障,需要稳定的流量,防止立管末端的流线出现严重堵塞。储层含水率的变化给井在稳定条件下的流动带来了重大挑战,并限制了地面除砂器的效果。流动保障是避免沿海底管线向平台沉积砂的关键参数。相邻井的使用证明可以实现连续稳定生产,并且设计了一种新的逻辑,可以最大限度地提高两口井的产量,同时防止砂粒进入生产设施。

Halite scaling has a dreadful impact on production pipelines. Produced water from Nubia formation in "E" field has high level of total dissolved solids (TDS) concentration. Halite scale causes complete blockage of the flow paths, integrity complications and periodic production interruption. Pipeline pigging and flushing with fresh water were performed frequently to eliminate blockage and restore production. An offshore platform with six online gas lifted wells; two high rate wells are producing from Nubia formation through the production pipeline and the remaining low rate wells are producing from other formations with a lower TDS through the test pipeline. High saline water flows through the production pipeline and cools down to seabed temperature resulting in halite precipitation, which regularly blocks the pipeline and requires repetitive fresh water flushing and pigging operations. Laboratory water analysis and scale tendency were conducted in conjunction with a pipeline network model to predict the halite precipitation temperature, actual friction coefficient and optimum fluid mixing and dilution strategy. The combination of complete water analysis, scale tendency, real time remote monitoring system and pipeline network modeling showed that halite scaling started inside the subsea pipeline nearby the platform. The model matching revealed a high friction coefficient, which indicated partial plugging of the production pipeline. The model sensitivity analysis predicted that diluting the supersaturated water by mixing it with other wells’ lower salinity waters – into the same pipeline, would drop the mixture salinity with no halite scaling along the pipeline. As a result, the strategy of mixing was selected and optimized based on the modeling results and water compatibility tests to reduce losses due to back pressure and to minimize the risk of hard scale deposition. For more than a year, no halite has precipitated, which resulted in an uninterrupted production and allowed well testing of the remaining wells discretely through the test pipeline. This paper demonstrates a comprehensive case in which halite scaling issues were predicted and mitigated through an integrated scale management system. The operating expenditures of pipeline flushing and pigging operations and oil losses were decreased due to interrupted production.
盐垢对生产管道有可怕的影响。E油田努比亚地层采出水总溶解固体(TDS)浓度较高。岩盐结垢会导致流道完全堵塞、完整性并发症和周期性生产中断。经常对管道进行清管和淡水冲洗,以消除堵塞,恢复生产。拥有6口在线气举井的海上平台;两口高速率井通过生产管道从努比亚地层进行生产,其余的低速率井通过测试管道从TDS较低的其他地层进行生产。高盐水流经生产管道,冷却至海底温度,导致盐石沉淀,这会定期阻塞管道,需要重复的淡水冲洗和清管作业。结合管网模型进行了室内水分析和结垢趋势分析,预测了岩盐沉淀温度、实际摩擦系数和最佳流体混合稀释策略。完整的水分析、结垢趋势、实时远程监测系统和管网建模相结合表明,岩盐结垢始于平台附近海底管道内部。模型拟合结果显示,该井的摩擦系数较高,表明生产管道部分堵塞。模型敏感性分析预测,通过将过饱和水与其他井的低矿化度水混合到同一管道中来稀释过饱和水,可以降低混合物的矿化度,并且管道沿线没有岩盐结垢。因此,根据建模结果和水相容性试验,选择和优化混合策略,以减少背压损失,最大限度地降低硬垢沉积的风险。在一年多的时间里,没有岩盐沉淀,从而实现了不间断的生产,并允许通过测试管道对剩余井进行离散测试。本文展示了一个综合案例,其中通过集成的规模管理系统预测和减轻了岩盐结垢问题。由于生产中断,减少了管道冲洗和清管作业的作业费用和油损。

The operating expenditures of pipeline flushing and pigging operations and oil losses were decreased due to interrupted production.","PeriodicalId":11011,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Thu, March 24, 2022","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89078134","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}

Capturing the reservoir heterogeneity is crucial for optimizing field development. Lang-Lebah field is a Miocene carbonate platform with approximately 5 sq.km. in size and over 1 km in height with a high degree of heterogeneity in both vertical and horizontal directions. In this study, we conducted a seismic-based characterization to capture reservoir heterogeneity and then ran sequential gaussian simulation with a data from wells to build a static model for field development purpose. The method mainly comprises of four steps. The first step is to establish a relationship between reservoir properties (such as facie and porosity) to elastic properties (such as P- and S-wave impedances) to build conditional probability. The second step is running pre-stack inversion to derive P- and S-wave impedances as inputs for the third step. The posterior probability of each facie is determined through Bayesian classification using inverted impedances and the derived conditional probability as inputs. The last step is employing sequential gaussian simulation to build a static model using derived posterior probability of each facie and porosity cube. The static model encapsulates heterogeneity in terms of carbonate facie and reservoir properties. The observed heterogeneity is highly consistent with the understanding of geological model of this carbonate platform. The result shows lateral heterogeneity in each zone of high energy facies (such as reef margin) at the windward flank of the platform and low energy facies (such as lake) at platform interior. Thus, this result was elaborated for geological concept beyond the using well data alone. The result also shows a vertical succession from different carbonate reservoir deposit regarding to accommodation as carbonate build-out to a typical carbonate platform build-up continue to carbonate build-in. In addition, flooding event or surfaces, which is part of reservoir barrier, was also identified and included in this static model. The details of this successful novel study lay a fundamental work process for battling the challenge of gigantic carbonate characterization for field development. Because of this sophisticated model, we can properly plan the sequence of production and producing well targeting based on the derived reservoir heterogeneity resulting in enabling several Tscf of reserves and minimizing development costs.
捕捉储层非均质性对于优化油田开发至关重要。Lang-Lebah油田是一个中新世碳酸盐岩台地,面积约5平方公里。大小和高度超过1公里,在垂直和水平方向上都具有高度的非均匀性。在这项研究中,我们进行了基于地震的表征以捕获储层非均质性,然后使用井中数据进行顺序高斯模拟,以建立用于油田开发的静态模型。该方法主要包括四个步骤。第一步是建立储层属性(如界面和孔隙度)与弹性属性(如纵波和纵波阻抗)之间的关系,以建立条件概率。第二步是运行叠前反演,以导出P波和s波阻抗作为第三步的输入。每个面的后验概率通过贝叶斯分类确定,使用反向阻抗和导出的条件概率作为输入。最后一步是采用序贯高斯模拟,利用得到的每个面和孔隙度立方的后验概率建立静态模型。静态模型封装了碳酸盐相和储层性质方面的非均质性。观察到的非均质性与对该碳酸盐岩台地地质模式的认识高度一致。结果表明,台地上风侧高能相带(如礁缘)和台地内部低能相带(如湖泊)各带均呈横向非均质性。因此,这一结果超越了仅使用井资料的地质概念。研究结果还表明,从不同的碳酸盐岩储层到典型的碳酸盐岩台地,再到碳酸盐岩台地,在垂直方向上依次发生变化。此外,作为储层屏障一部分的泛洪事件或泛洪面也被识别并纳入该静态模型。这项成功的新研究的细节为应对油田开发中巨大碳酸盐表征的挑战奠定了基础工作过程。由于这种复杂的模型,我们可以根据推导出的油藏非均质性,合理地规划生产顺序和生产井的目标,从而实现几万亿立方英尺的储量,并最大限度地降低开发成本。
