In the last 2 (two) years, the operator has been performing gravel pack (GP) completion using a Hydraulic Workover Unit (HWU). Such rigless GP explains that a drilling rig shall drill a well, running the casing and cementing then suspending the well. Next, HWU will perform the completion job to fulfill the scope of the well construction. By May 2021, HWU has done 4 (four) rigless GP with various well designs. The original background is to reduce costs of the well construction and to increase the wells delivery efficiency of a jack-up rig. This paper will compare the duration of rigless GP execution in those wells, even though the value creation of using HWU as an alternative way will also be reviewed. Regarding operational capabilities, HWU has several limitations that differ from a jack-up rig. Several disadvantages range from HWU's construction, tripping performance, lifting practices until contract management. From a construction aspect, HWU is more sensitive to weather thus prone to the operation suspension. In some platforms, HWU has more complexity lifting operations due to the crane's reach limitation, therefore an additional crane is needed to assist. Furthermore, HWU utilizes traveling slips for tripping, as such the length of the cylinder will affect the speed. Moreover, HWU is not in a favorable situation due to some important services are not dedicated to support the operation. For example, the handling equipment for upper completion is managed through a call-out contract and the logistic vessel has to be shared with other fleets. Therefore, it is essential to develop a solid course of action to achieve the objective of utilizing HWU in GP jobs. Related to performance enhancement, some initiatives have been pursued i.e. changing the position of the barge to reduce weather sensitivity, developing the effective logistic plan, and managing some activities to be performed by the jack-up rig (in offline mode). Moreover, adding some pipe racks and enforcing all crew to improve tripping speed safely are also part of the improvement. Also, it is essential to select the equipment as necessary as possible to deal with the call-out contract and to increase the economic value of the project. Finally, performance monitoring and documenting lesson learned are critical to pursue for future improvement. All of those efforts have been paid off as indicated by the learning curve which has been shaped. Referring to the duration and expenses of the first rig-less GP job, the latest well has attained a reduction in costs by 60% and less 66% of time completion. The fact implies that HWU is worth pursuing in executing GP completions as an alternative to the conventional way.
在过去的两年里,作业者一直在使用液压修井装置(HWU)进行砾石充填(GP)完井。这种无钻机GP解释说,钻机应该钻一口井,下套管,固井,然后暂停井。接下来,HWU将进行完井工作,以完成该井的建设范围。到2021年5月,HWU已经完成了4套不同井设计的无钻机GP。最初的背景是降低建井成本,提高自升式钻井平台的钻井效率。本文将比较这些井的无钻机GP执行时间,尽管也将回顾使用HWU作为替代方法的价值创造。在操作能力方面,HWU与自升式钻井平台有一些不同的局限性。从HWU的结构、起下钻性能、起重实践到合同管理,都存在一些缺点。从施工角度看,长江水系对天气比较敏感,容易出现停工的情况。在一些平台中,由于起重机的范围限制,HWU的起重作业更加复杂,因此需要额外的起重机来辅助。此外,HWU利用行程卡瓦进行起下钻,因为这样的气缸长度将影响速度。此外,由于一些重要的服务没有专门用于支持运营,HWU的情况并不有利。例如,上部完井的处理设备是通过外呼合同管理的,后勤船必须与其他船队共享。因此,必须制定一个坚实的行动方针,以实现在GP工作中利用HWU的目标。为了提高作业性能,公司采取了一些措施,例如改变驳船的位置以降低天气敏感性,制定有效的后勤计划,以及管理自升式钻井平台(离线模式)执行的一些活动。此外,增加一些管架和强制所有船员提高起下钻速度也是改进的一部分。此外,尽可能选择必要的设备,以处理呼出合同,增加项目的经济价值是至关重要的。最后,性能监视和记录经验教训对于追求未来的改进至关重要。正如已经形成的学习曲线所表明的那样,所有这些努力都得到了回报。与第一口无钻机GP作业的持续时间和费用相比,最新一口井的成本降低了60%,完井时间缩短了66%。这一事实表明,HWU作为常规完井方式的替代方案,值得在GP完井中进行研究。

The field is located in the south of Sultanate of Oman and was discovered in 1980 The field produces from sandstone reservoirs a heavy crude with high viscosity (up to 2000 cP) value that contains no appreciable solution gas. Production is supported by a bottom active water drive aquifer. An unfavourable mobility contrast between the oil and formation water results in rapid water breakthrough and a large portion of a well's reserves are produced at high water cuts. The average economic limit of wells in the field is about 98% water cut. Thus, water management plays a key role in well economics. The new horizontal producer wells target is to drain by-passed oil with only 30 ~ 80 m spacing. Injectors are at the flank and are injecting deep into the aquifer. Water breakthrough occurs at high sand permeability and once happened; water will dominate well production due to unfavourable mobility ratio. Some of the new producer wells are completed with Wire-Wrapped Screen (WWS) – Stand Alone Screen, and swellable packers to isolate higher water-saturated zones. However, most of these wells start typically with a 60% water cut (BSW) or more and rapidly reach +90%. To overcome current reservoir/production challenges; The operator has used the latest Autonomous Inflow Control Device (AICD) Technology called Autonomous Inflow Control Valves (AICV). ICD's and previous generation Autonomous Inflow Control Devices (AICD) has shown in many cases increased oil production and higher recovery with better fluid influx balance along the well. However, neither ICD nor AICD can shut off the water production completely without well intervention. The AICV can restrict unwanted water significantly and autonomously. The AICV are based on different flow behaviour for laminar and turbulent flow that is utilized in a pilot flow to actuate a piston position to restrict unwanted fluids. The design with two parallel flow paths ensures the AICV is open for oil, and close for water autonomously. The AICV technology is based on Hagen-Poiseuille and Bernoulli's principles and is truly autonomous as it can identify the fluid flowing through it based on fluid properties such as viscosity, density and flowrate. For unwanted fluid such as water and Gas, AICV can generate enough force that will shut off the device if required. This makes it more robust than any other commercially available AICDs. AICV effect is reversible i.e. when the saturation of unwanted fluid (Sg or Sw) around the wellbore reduces, AICV will re-open for the oil production, thus draining all possible oil around the wellbore. In this paper, AICV performance will be discussed and comparative analysis with production performance of wells completed with WWS completed in the same reservoir will be presented. Based on the regular well testing and production analysis, it is evident that AICV technology has helped the operator in managing/shutting off the unwanted water production autonomously. This new AICV technology
该油田位于阿曼苏丹国南部,于1980年被发现,该油田从砂岩储层中生产高粘度(高达2000 cP)的重质原油,不含明显的溶解气。生产由底部活动水驱含水层支撑。油和地层水之间不利的流动性对比导致了快速的见水,并且在高含水时生产了很大一部分井的储量。该油田井的平均经济极限含水率约为98%。因此,水管理在油井经济中起着关键作用。新的水平井生产井的目标是在30 ~ 80m的井距内排掉旁溢油。注入器位于侧翼,注入到含水层深处。在砂体渗透率高的情况下,突水发生一次;由于不利的流度比,水将主导油井生产。一些新的生产井采用了钢丝缠绕筛管(WWS)——独立筛管,以及可膨胀封隔器来隔离高含水饱和度区域。然而,大多数此类井的含水率通常为60%或更高,并迅速达到+90%。克服当前油藏/生产挑战;作业者使用了最新的自动流入控制装置(AICD)技术,即自动流入控制阀(AICV)。ICD和上一代的自动流入控制装置(AICD)在许多情况下都能提高产量和采收率,并能更好地平衡井筒内的流体流入。然而,无论是ICD还是AICD都不能在没有油井干预的情况下完全关闭产水。AICV可以显著自主地限制不需要的水。AICV基于层流和湍流的不同流动行为,在先导流中用于驱动活塞位置以限制不需要的流体。两个平行流道的设计确保了AICV可以自动打开供油通道,关闭供水通道。AICV技术基于Hagen-Poiseuille和Bernoulli原理,可以根据粘度、密度和流量等流体特性识别流过它的流体,是真正的自主技术。对于不需要的流体,如水和气体,AICV可以产生足够的力,在需要时关闭设备。这使得它比任何其他商用aicd都更坚固。AICV效应是可逆的,即当井筒周围不需要的流体(Sg或Sw)饱和度降低时,AICV将重新打开进行采油,从而排干井筒周围所有可能的油。本文将讨论AICV的性能,并与同一油藏中使用WWS完井的生产性能进行对比分析。根据常规的试井和生产分析,很明显,AICV技术可以帮助作业者自主管理/关闭不需要的产水。这种新的AICV技术具有ICD完井的核心应用原理,但具有改进控制/完井关水而无需干预的额外优势;零成本关水作业,有助于排出旁溢油,从而最大限度地提高采收率。

Contamination of heavy metals especially for Mercury (Hg) and Arsenic (As) in condensates becomes one of major concerns in Natural Gas production due to theirs high toxicity and carcinogenicity. The key challenge to develop adsorbents for Hg/As removal is to find suitable porous materials with high adsorption capacity, long-term stability and easy to handle the toxic wastes after the adsorption process. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are one of promising porous materials constructed from metal clusters and organic linkers to create the 3D framework structures. MOFs are one of the promising adsorbents for removal of Hg/As from condensates owning to their versatile structures, tunable porosity, and tailorable chemical functionalities. In this work, Zr-based MOFs have been developed for dual removal of Hg and As species owning to their chemical stability in moisture conditions, which is highly desirable for industrial processes. Zr-based MOFs with different topology and pore size distribution have been synthesized for Hg/As adsorption to understand the contribution of porous structure on the removal of Hg/As species in condensates. The performance of Zr-based MOFs results showed Hg and As removal up to 99.5% in condensates from several petroleum sources. The removal efficiencies were found to be influenced by topology of MOF adsorbents and the speciation of Hg/As in different petroleum sources. In addition, Zr-based MOFs have proposed some future trends and challenges of porous material that can be used as an alternative to the conventional metal oxides and zeolites.
凝析油中的重金属污染,特别是汞和砷的高毒性和致癌性,成为天然气生产中的主要问题之一。开发脱除Hg/As吸附剂的关键挑战是寻找合适的多孔材料,具有高吸附容量、长期稳定性和易于处理吸附过程后的有毒废物。金属有机骨架(mof)是一种很有前途的多孔材料,由金属团簇和有机连接体构成三维框架结构。mof由于其结构多样、孔隙度可调、化学功能可定制等优点,是一种很有前途的从凝析油中去除Hg/As的吸附剂。在这项工作中,基于zr的mof由于其在潮湿条件下的化学稳定性而被开发用于双重去除汞和砷,这在工业过程中是非常理想的。合成了具有不同拓扑结构和孔径分布的zr基mof用于吸附Hg/As,以了解孔隙结构对缩合物中Hg/As的去除作用。zr基mof的性能表明,在几种石油来源的凝析油中,汞和砷的去除率高达99.5%。发现MOF吸附剂的拓扑结构和不同石油源中Hg/As的形态对其去除效率有影响。此外,zr基mof提出了多孔材料的一些未来趋势和挑战,可以作为传统金属氧化物和沸石的替代品。

A Novel Apparent Permeability Model in Shale Gas Reservoirs 一种新的页岩气藏表观渗透率模型

A novel apparent permeability model of shale gas is derived considering the stress dependence, the thickness of adsorbed layer, slip flow, Knudsen diffusion and surface diffusion. The thickness of the adsorbed layer is derived according to the porosity occupied by the adsorbed phase in the capillary model. Consequently, the impact of the adsorbed layer and its change with the pressure on apparent permeability can be clearly revealed in the novel model in ultramicropores, or micropores, or mesopores, or macropores. With the stress dependence and the thickness of adsorbed layer considered simultaneously, the effective hole radius is substantiated to be smaller than the original hole radius to a certain degree. On account of this, the ratio of apparent permeability to the intrinsic permeability computed by the novel model is a lot distinct from the existing models. As the pressure increases, the ratio in the novel model declines from above 1 to below 1, followed by a slight upward trend. However, the ratio in other models drops all the way and yet remains above 1 as the pressure rises. Finally, the impact factors of permeability, including stress dependence coefficient, hole radius, reservoir pressure, Langmuir volume and Langmuir pressure, are analyzed. The contribution of slip flow, Knudsen diffusion and surface diffusion to apparent permeability is also illustrated.
建立了考虑应力依赖性、吸附层厚度、滑动流动、Knudsen扩散和表面扩散的页岩气表观渗透率模型。根据毛细管模型中吸附相所占的孔隙率推导出吸附层的厚度。因此,吸附层及其随压力的变化对表观渗透率的影响可以在新模型中清晰地揭示在超微孔、微孔、中孔和大孔中。在同时考虑应力依赖性和吸附层厚度的情况下,有效孔半径在一定程度上小于原始孔半径。因此,新模型计算的视渗透率与本征渗透率之比与现有模型有很大不同。随着压力的增大,新模型中的比值由大于1下降到小于1,然后略有上升趋势。然而,在其他模型中,该比率一直下降,但随着压力的增加,该比率仍保持在1以上。最后分析了影响渗透率的因素,包括应力依赖系数、井眼半径、储层压力、Langmuir体积和Langmuir压力。还说明了滑移流、克努森扩散和表面扩散对表观渗透率的贡献。

Towards a Multidisciplinary Approach in Play Characterisation: An Integrated Case Study from Browse Basin, NW Shelf, Australia 面向油气藏特征的多学科方法:澳大利亚西北陆架Browse盆地的综合案例研究
Pub Date : 2022-03-18 DOI: 10.4043/31603-ms

Stratigraphic forward modeling (SFM) is an innovative approach to subsurface facies prediction at the basin scale that augments and overcomes some of the limitations of conventional seismic, well, and analog data. As a multidisciplinary approach to play characterization, SFM improves the efficiency of current workflows, which is important given the current downward pressure on capex in oil and gas companies. A 2D SFM study on data from Browse basin, NW Australia, was conducted to enhance the prediction of facies distribution and improve play characterization by integrating SFM with other disciplines. The work started with seismic interpretation and depth conversion. Then, a third to fourth-order sequence stratigraphy interpretation was performed to determine the main sequence boundaries, maximum flooding surfaces, and a relative sea-level curve. The sequence stratigraphy results were later used to infer some of the inputs and parameters of the SFM model. The model simulates the deposition of clastic and carbonates from the Turonian (Late Cretaceous) to the present day. The results from the model were used to validate some of the geological concepts and the seismic interpretation. In addition, the approach enabled the prediction of reservoir quality, reservoir distribution, the presence of the seal, and the quantification of erosion. A 2D petroleum system model (PSM) covering the area from the Yampi shelf to the Seringapatam sub-basin was built using seismic interpretation, regional tectonic information, source rock geochemistry, and paleo heat flow. The results from SFM were integrated into a 2D PSM by resampling facies and erosion properties for each of the finely subdivided layers. The high-resolution 2D PSM with refined facies was simulated in geological time to model the basin evolution and its impact on all elements and processes of the petroleum system of Browse basin, which have been validated with nearby fields. As a result of this integrated approach, the risk of charge and entrapment in prospective stratigraphic traps was better understood and quantified. In addition, this approach helped to increase yet-to-find (YTF) hydrocarbon resources by accurately predicting reservoir distribution and extent. The generation of a 2D SFM and its integration within a multidisciplinary approach to predict facies represents a novel addition to exploration workflows. Adopting such an approach can improve significantly on the understanding of hydrocarbon entrapment and further reduce exploration risks.
地层正演模拟(SFM)是一种在盆地尺度上进行地下相预测的创新方法,它增加并克服了常规地震、井和模拟数据的一些局限性。作为一种多学科的油气藏表征方法,SFM提高了当前工作流程的效率,考虑到当前油气公司资本支出的下行压力,这一点非常重要。对澳大利亚西北部Browse盆地的数据进行了二维SFM研究,通过将SFM与其他学科相结合,增强了对相分布的预测,并改善了储层特征。工作从地震解释和深度转换开始。然后进行三、四级层序地层学解释,确定主层序边界、最大淹没面和相对海平面曲线。层序地层学结果随后被用来推断SFM模型的一些输入和参数。该模型模拟了从Turonian(晚白垩纪)到现在的碎屑和碳酸盐沉积。该模型的结果用于验证一些地质概念和地震解释。此外,该方法还可以预测储层质量、储层分布、密封的存在以及侵蚀的量化。利用地震解释、区域构造信息、烃源岩地球化学、古热流等信息,建立了覆盖央皮陆架至色林格巴塔姆次盆地的二维含油气系统模型。通过重新采样每个精细细分层的相和侵蚀特性,将SFM的结果整合到二维PSM中。通过对高分辨率二维精细相PSM进行地质年代模拟,模拟了Browse盆地的盆地演化及其对含油气系统各要素和过程的影响,并在邻近油田进行了验证。通过这种综合方法,可以更好地理解和量化未来地层圈闭的充注和圈闭风险。此外,该方法通过准确预测储层分布和范围,有助于增加未发现(YTF)油气资源。2D SFM的生成及其在多学科预测相方法中的集成代表了勘探工作流程的新补充。采用这种方法可以显著提高对油气圈闭的认识,进一步降低勘探风险。

A 2D petroleum system model (PSM) covering the area from the Yampi shelf to the Seringapatam sub-basin was built using seismic interpretation, regional tectonic information, source rock geochemistry, and paleo heat flow. The results from SFM were integrated into a 2D PSM by resampling facies and erosion properties for each of the finely subdivided layers. The high-resolution 2D PSM with refined facies was simulated in geological time to model the basin evolution and its impact on all elements and processes of the petroleum system of Browse basin, which have been validated with nearby fields.\u0000 As a result of this integrated approach, the risk of charge and entrapment in prospective stratigraphic traps was better understood and quantified.

Oil and gas drilling requires several components work simultaneously to ensure smooth and safe drilling. Drilling fluid or mud is an inseparable part of drilling oil and gas wells and circulated through out theh drilling operation. Drilling fluid contains a variety of additives or chemicals to provide various properties to drilling fluid namely viscosity, fluid loss control, emulsion stability, lubricity, etc. Developing environment friendly chemicals to provide the above-mentioned drilling fluid properties is a significant step taken towards sustainability and reducing carbon footprint besides suitability for aquifers and offshore environments. Several fatty acid-based chemicals used in drilling fluids as fatty acids offer eco-friendly and bio-degradable properties besides required drilling fluid properties. Vegatable oil contains triglycerides which is a potential source of fatty acids and their derivatives. Waste vegetable oil (WVO) provides a perpetual and sustainable source of raw material for various types of eco-friendly additives development. Waste vegetable oil is subjected to simple chemical modification of base hydrolysis process and mixtures of fatty acids have been obtained after finishing a sequence of clean-up process of reaction mixture. The fatty acids obtained are environment-friendly, bio-degradable and non-toxic. Due to technical, economic and environmental advantages of products derived from waste vegetable oils, we have undertaken several research projects to produce various chemicals from waste vegetable oil for oil and gas field applications. Fatty acid-based products mainly used in drilling fluids as lubricants to reduce torque and drag for water-based mud. In case of oil-based mud systems, fatty acid derived products are used as emulsifiers, wetting agents and rheology modifiers. However, these products have been either mixture of fatty acids and their derivatives or only derivatives of fatty acids. In our study, we have used the mixture of fatty acids obtained from chemical conversion of WVO for applications as lubricant for water-based mud and emulsifier and rheology modifier for invert emulsion oil-based mud systems. In this paper, we described the chemicals process for converting waste vegetable oil to fatty acids by base hydrolysis reaction in the first section. Application of synthesized fatty acids for water-based and oil-based mud formulation as lubricants, emulsifiers and rheology modifiers have been discussed in the second part of the paper.
石油和天然气钻井需要多个组件同时工作,以确保钻井的顺利和安全。钻井液或泥浆是钻井油气井不可分割的一部分,并在整个钻井作业中循环使用。钻井液中含有各种添加剂或化学物质,为钻井液提供各种性能,即粘度、滤失控制、乳化液稳定性、润滑性等。开发环境友好型化学品以提供上述钻井液特性,除了适合含水层和近海环境外,也是朝着可持续发展和减少碳足迹迈出的重要一步。在钻井液中使用的几种脂肪酸基化学物质作为脂肪酸,除了具有所需的钻井液特性外,还具有环保和可生物降解的特性。植物油含有甘油三酯,它是脂肪酸及其衍生物的潜在来源。废植物油(WVO)为各种类型的环保添加剂的开发提供了永久和可持续的原料来源。对废植物油进行碱水解的简单化学改性,在完成一系列反应混合物的净化过程后,得到脂肪酸混合物。所制得的脂肪酸具有环保性、可生物降解性和无毒性。由于废植物油衍生产品的技术、经济和环境优势,我们承担了多个研究项目,以废植物油为原料生产各种化学品,用于油气田应用。脂肪酸基产品主要用作钻井液的润滑剂,以减少水基泥浆的扭矩和阻力。在油基泥浆体系中,脂肪酸衍生产品被用作乳化剂、润湿剂和流变调节剂。然而,这些产品要么是脂肪酸及其衍生物的混合物,要么只是脂肪酸的衍生物。在我们的研究中,我们使用了由WVO化学转化得到的脂肪酸混合物作为水基泥浆的润滑剂和反乳化油基泥浆体系的乳化剂和流变改性剂。本文第一部分介绍了废植物油碱水解制脂肪酸的化学工艺。本文第二部分讨论了合成脂肪酸在水基和油基泥浆配方中作为润滑剂、乳化剂和流变改性剂的应用。

Block X of offshore Sarawak consists of stacked and multi-layer reservoirs that produce gas, condensate and oil where the production is in-commingle from many wells. 47 surface PVT samples were taken and analyzed from every reservoir during the exploration and initial production periods. Despite the number of samples and a series of PVT studies had been conducted, fluid PVT and its reservoir modelling application remain an uncertainty for Block X. Therefore, a comprehensive 3-phase PVT study was conducted, and its improved results will be implemented in the upcoming simulation model to represent fluid interactions not only within each reservoir but also between different reservoirs that are produced in commingle. Firstly, a detailed quality check and validation were performed on every sample using a systematic process proposed in Paredes et al. (2014) to identify high-quality samples. These samples were ranked based on their Fluid Sample Quality index (FSQI), and the best samples were carried forward for further analysis. Initial PVT grouping analysis was performed by plotting observed saturation pressure, composition, CGR and other key variables versus depth for the selected samples. The existing PVT models and compositional characterization, which were reviewed and found to be satisfactory except for the matching quality of liquid saturation, were used to generate predicted profile trends using Compositional gradient experiments and compared to the data to define the PVT data that could be grouped together. Next, modelling and calibration of Equation of State (EOS) parameters to match the observed properties from lab experiments were performed for each PVT group using the best sample from each group as identified by its FQSI value. The results of the new PVT calibrations showed improvements over the existing models with the variance between the group PVT model and lab observations ranging from 0.1 -2.2% in saturation pressure and 0.5 – 17.8 % in CGR. This indicated that reasonable group PVT models had been obtained. Despite, uncertainty for one of the PVT groups remained high as its fluid needed to be adjusted due to a large inconsistency between the observed gas-oil-contact (GOC) and the observed saturation pressure even when its sample's FQSI was good. Finally, the new PVT models were validated with the existing dynamic simulation models by initializing them close to the original sampling conditions and applying a compositional gradient. Comparisons with previous models show improvements between 3 − 58% when compared to the sample and early production data. Significant uncertainty remains for the reservoir or PVT group where the fluid adjustment was performed due to its limited production for further calibration. In addition, improvements were not immediately reflected in the dynamic history match of the existing models because of the variation in separator conditions during field life and the uncertainty of wells’ zonal contributions fr
Sarawak海上区块X由堆叠和多层储层组成,这些储层生产天然气、凝析油和石油,其中许多井的生产是混合的。在勘探和初始生产阶段,从每个储层采集并分析了47个地面PVT样品。尽管已经进行了大量的样品和一系列的PVT研究,但x区块的流体PVT及其油藏建模应用仍然是一个不确定因素。因此,我们进行了一项全面的3阶段PVT研究,并将其改进的结果应用于即将到来的模拟模型中,不仅可以代表每个储层内部的流体相互作用,还可以代表不同储层之间的流体相互作用。首先,使用Paredes等人(2014)提出的系统流程对每个样本进行详细的质量检查和验证,以确定高质量的样本。根据其流体样品质量指数(FSQI)对样品进行排序,并将最佳样品进行进一步分析。通过绘制所选样品的观察到的饱和压力、成分、CGR和其他关键变量与深度的关系,进行初始PVT分组分析。对现有的PVT模型和成分表征进行了回顾,发现除了液体饱和度的匹配质量之外,它们都是令人满意的,然后使用成分梯度实验生成预测剖面趋势,并与数据进行比较,以定义可以组合在一起的PVT数据。接下来,对每个PVT组进行状态方程(EOS)参数的建模和校准,以匹配实验室实验中观察到的特性,使用每组中由其FQSI值确定的最佳样本。新的PVT校准结果表明,与现有模型相比,PVT模型与实验室观测值之间的差异在饱和压力的0.1 -2.2%和CGR的0.5 - 17.8%之间有所改善。这表明得到了合理的组PVT模型。尽管如此,其中一组PVT的不确定性仍然很高,因为即使样品的FQSI很好,但由于观察到的油气接触(GOC)与观察到的饱和压力之间存在很大的不一致,因此需要对其流体进行调整。最后,利用现有的动态仿真模型,在接近原始采样条件下初始化PVT模型,并应用成分梯度对模型进行验证。与以前的模型相比,与样品和早期生产数据相比,改进了3 - 58%。对于进行流体调整的储层或PVT组来说,由于进一步校准的产量有限,仍然存在很大的不确定性。此外,由于油田寿命期间分离器条件的变化以及混合生产对井层贡献的不确定性,现有模型的动态历史匹配并没有立即反映出改进。这些都是今后工作的重点。

Enhancing Oil Recovery in a Brown Oilfield of Offshore South China 华南近海棕色油田提高采收率研究

Located in offshore South China, XJ oil field entered the mature development phase after more than 20 years of production, with the water cut of the field increasing to 93%. A new strategy was executed starting in 2018 that targeted the remaining oil column, which was being squeezed by a strong bottomwater. One of the biggest challenges was the high uncertainty of the oil/water contacts in the current reservoir state. After reviewing the technical and geological challenges encountered, we will describe the successful approach taken to optimize the remaining reserves recovery using innovative horizontal well placement strategies. Using a few case studies, we will illustrate how we executed this innovative well placement strategy. This includes landing the horizontal wells at the upper part of the reservoir with low incident angle, drilling the horizontal sections close to the top of target zones using a reservoir boundary detection tool, and using a continuous packer for the well completion to reduce the water cut. In addition, we will describe how the team evaluated and selected logging technologies in the planning phase for proper well placement. The two cases discussed in this paper are based on horizontal wells completed using the following new strategy: maintaining a long lateral section in the upper layer of a predefined target, following the undulating structure while mapping the thin sandstone, keeping the trajectory in the target zone, etc. To ensure that each horizontal well could meet the target productivity index planned, real-time data were used in reservoir modeling to determine the required lateral length of each horizonal well. With the purpose of controlling water cut and improving oil recovery in these laterals, a new completion assembly, including a perforated liner with special completion material that prevented water from entering the liners, were installed in selected intervals according the logging data interpretation. Several observations will be highlighted, including: Real-time logging data can effectively evaluate the reservoir properties and structural changes along the lateral Optimum well placement in the lateral section is critical for draining the remaining oil column An optimized completion design based on real-time reservoir evaluation. The performance of the wells drilled to date shows that the production increased from 1,000 to 3,000 BOPD with zero to very low water cut. A reversing production trend from a declining trend to a growth trend is recorded. The successful implementation of the new strategy and the application of fit-for-purpose technologies in mature oil fields lead to improved production and increased oil recovery.
XJ油田位于华南海上,经过20多年的生产,进入成熟开发阶段,油田含水率提高到93%。从2018年开始,该公司实施了一项新的战略,目标是受到强烈底水挤压的剩余油柱。最大的挑战之一是当前储层状态下油水界面的高度不确定性。在回顾了所遇到的技术和地质挑战之后,我们将介绍采用创新水平井布置策略优化剩余储量采收率的成功方法。通过几个案例研究,我们将说明我们是如何执行这种创新的定位策略的。这包括在储层上部以低入射角下入水平井,使用储层边界探测工具钻进靠近目标层顶部的水平段,并在完井时使用连续封隔器以降低含水率。此外,我们将描述团队如何在规划阶段评估和选择测井技术,以实现正确的井位。本文讨论的两个案例都是基于采用以下新策略完成的水平井:在预定目标的上层保持长水平段,在绘制薄砂岩时遵循波动结构,在目标区域保持轨迹等。为了确保每口水平井都能达到计划的目标产能指标,油藏建模中使用了实时数据,以确定每口水平井所需的水平段长度。为了控制这些分支的含水率和提高采收率,根据测井数据解释,在选定的井段安装了新的完井组合,包括带有特殊完井材料的射孔尾管,防止水进入尾管。实时测井数据可以有效地评估储层性质和横向结构变化,横向段的最佳井位对剩余油柱的排液至关重要。基于实时储层评价的优化完井设计。迄今为止所钻油井的表现表明,产量从1000桶/天增加到3000桶/天,含水率为零至极低。生产趋势由下降趋势转为增长趋势。新战略的成功实施以及在成熟油田中应用适合用途的技术,提高了产量和采收率。

Interwell Connectivity Study 井间连通性研究
Pub Date : 2022-03-18 DOI: 10.4043/31624-ms
Youngbin Shan, Yaoguang Wu, Minjun Qin, Dongming Liu, Bin Yao
Understanding interwell connectivity is crucial for EOR decision making. In 1990, K.N Wood et al proposed a method to evaluate the interwell Residual Oil using a reactive tracer and a non-partition tracer. A decade later in 2001 (Joseph Tang, 2001), Joseph Tang et al proposed a method to identify the single well near bore residual oil saturation by puff and huff approach in a single well carbonate reservoir. Today the interwell connectivity is still under research. The objective of this paper is to propose latest study to evaluate interwell connectivity through two or more partitioning tracers to estimate the breakthrough, pore volume, sweeping channel geometry, high permeability channel, residual oil saturation, etc Thanks to the new development in tracer technologies, today we can use two distinctive tracers to pump through injection well and collect tracers produced in all production wells. The different partition coefficients for two tracers can reveal the lag factor for the sweeping channel and further derive the statistical channel breakthrough time, pore volume, geometry, tortuosity and residual oil saturation. The theory, derivation and applications of the concepts are described in this paper. Based on the analysis, sweeping channels statistical information can be calculated by a simple mathematical expression of the ratio of two distinctive tracer mass produced from production wells, the ratio of two tracer dynamic partitioning coefficients and the ratio of two injected tracer mass. With this information, operator can investigate a compartmentalization in the field to optimize flooding plan. One 9-piont injection well grid were analyzed, and results are shown in this paper. Those results are important input to operators' reservoir model. It revealed the major sweeping channels and azimuths, the major residual oil channel and their azimuths, the possible tortuous channels and their azimuths which gives operator a direction of where the residual oil resides and how easy or difficult it can be recovered in tertiary oil production. This new theory analyzes sweeping channel statistical information from produced masses of two distinctively partitioning tracers, which follows a rigorous mathematical derivation and setup a volume factor equation relating to produced masses of two partitioning tracers. The partitioning coefficient is also modified by a dynamic factor to better simulate the moving partition in channel rather than the static partitioning between brine and oil.
了解井间连通性对于提高采收率决策至关重要。1990年,K.N Wood等人提出了一种利用活性示踪剂和非分割示踪剂评价井间剩余油的方法。十年后的2001年(Joseph Tang, 2001), Joseph Tang等人提出了利用吞吐法识别单井碳酸盐岩储层近井剩余油饱和度的方法。目前,井间连通性仍在研究中。本文的目的是通过两种或两种以上的分区示踪剂来评估井间连通性,以估计突破、孔隙体积、扫描通道几何形状、高渗透通道、残余油饱和度等。由于示踪剂技术的新发展,今天我们可以使用两种不同的示踪剂来泵送注水井,并收集所有生产井的示踪剂。两种示踪剂的不同配分系数可以揭示波及通道的滞后系数,进而推导出统计通道突破时间、孔隙体积、几何形状、弯曲度和残余油饱和度。本文介绍了这些概念的理论、推导和应用。在此基础上,通过生产井两种不同示踪剂产量的比值、两种示踪剂动态分配系数的比值和两种注入示踪剂质量的比值的简单数学表达式,可以计算出扫描通道的统计信息。有了这些信息,作业者就可以研究油田的分区,以优化驱油计划。对某9点注水井网进行了分析,并给出了分析结果。这些结果是作业者油藏模型的重要输入。揭示了三次采油中剩余油的主要扫油通道及其方位、主要剩余油通道及其方位、可能的弯曲通道及其方位,为作业者判断剩余油的位置和开采难易程度提供了指导。该理论分析了两种不同分区示踪剂产质量的扫道统计信息,并进行了严格的数学推导,建立了与两种分区示踪剂产质量有关的体积因子方程。通过对配分系数进行动态修正,可以更好地模拟通道内的移动配分,而不是盐水和油之间的静态配分。

The oil and gas fields offshore Malaysia-Thailand border are well known for the presence of high pressure and high temperature reservoir characteristics. The hot environment favours the use of hostile wireline logging tools over logging while drilling tools for some measurements. High overbalance conditions are sometimes a necessary requirement to safely drill particular formations but bring with them operational challenges. For wireline logging a critical hazard is that of becoming differentially stuck, especially in the case of stationary logs such as pressure measurements, sampling, and coring. A reduction in allowable safe stationary times for these measurements can also compromise the quality of the results. Production wells in this area are generally drilled with slim 6-1/8″ sections through the reservoir. As the borehole becomes smaller the risk of sticking increases as the tool contact area increases and so is a particular concern in slim holes. This often leads to logging being run using costly pipe conveyed methods or the inability to obtain required data altogether. This paper presents case histories of wireline formation pressure testing and sampling in 6-1/8″ sections with high deviation, 3D trajectory boreholes with overbalance pressures of over 2,000 psi. The use of a high-performance roller system to create tool stand-off to mitigate differential sticking as well as eliminate friction is described, along with the use of an engineered hole finder to address hole access concerns. The importance of wireline simulation models to identify risks and test solutions in such conditions is also considered. Slim hole logging and logging under overbalanced conditions are often a source of concern for subsurface, drilling and service company personnel alike. Describing a successful approach to address both is of interest to all involved parties and should provide ideas and confidence to plan cost-effective logging in similar wells.
马来西亚与泰国交界海域的油气田以其高压高温储层特征而闻名。高温环境有利于使用恶劣的电缆测井工具,而不是随钻随测井工具进行某些测量。高过平衡条件有时是安全钻探特定地层的必要条件,但也会带来操作上的挑战。对于电缆测井来说,一个关键的危险是出现卡差,特别是在压力测量、采样和取心等固定测井的情况下。减少这些测量的允许安全静止时间也会损害结果的质量。该地区的生产井一般采用6-1/8″细长井段穿过油藏。随着井眼越来越小,工具接触面积的增加,卡钻的风险也随之增加,因此在小井眼中尤其值得关注。这通常会导致使用昂贵的管道传输方法运行日志记录,或者无法完全获得所需的数据。本文介绍了6-1/8″高斜度井段的电缆地层压力测试和采样实例,井眼为3D轨迹,超平衡压力超过2000 psi。介绍了使用高性能滚柱系统来创建工具隔离,以减轻压差卡钻和消除摩擦,同时使用设计的探测仪来解决井眼进入问题。在这种情况下,电缆仿真模型对于识别风险和测试解决方案的重要性也得到了考虑。小井眼测井和过平衡条件下的测井通常是地下、钻井和服务公司人员关注的问题。描述一种成功的方法来解决这两个问题是所有相关方都感兴趣的,并且应该为在类似井中规划具有成本效益的测井提供想法和信心。
