Mature fields often include wells or platforms that require a plug and abandonment (P&A) job and decommissioning. Two high-pressure gas wells were identified in a field offshore Brunei that required a coiled tubing unit (CTU) intervention to secure them. The job was further complicated by high reservoir pressure in a tight formation, a small platform area, and no existing surface facility. Because the flowline and pipeline equipment on the platform are not in service, a method was needed to take large volumes of returns. To overcome this challenge, an integrated operation was designed and planned that uses a complete catenary CTU and a pumping and flowback package with a mobile storage support vessel. The returns system will enable liquid (brine and spacer) and gas returns with pressures of up to 5,000 psi. The mobile storage support vessel enables the returns to be stored before disposal at an onshore facility. Before killing the wells and pumping cement across the perforation, multiple tubing plugs must be removed. High tubing pressure indicated some communication to the reservoir; consequently, the plug removal strategy with coiled tubing (CT) must include risk mitigation to ensure that the plugs can be removed safely. After all plugs were removed, the wells were successfully killed by using a 17 kPa/m (14.45 ppg) calcium chloride/calcium bromide (CaCl2/CaBr2) blend brine. The next operation was to spot cement across the perforation to a depth that is below where the tubing will be cut during the P&A process. The spacers and cement design must be tailored to avoid compatibility issues with the CaCl2/CaBr2 and the presence of carbon dioxide (CO2). The cement placement with CT is critical to prevent flash reaction with the kill fluid and to minimize the volume of contaminated cement. The cement was placed successfully and tested in accordance with the Brunei Shell Petroleum requirement. The wells were safely secured and ready for the planned P&A process. These operations marked the first successful operation on high-pressure, tight gas wells with no surface facilities on the platform within a sensitive environment. The use of a mobile storage support vessel enabled the wells to be killed successfully. This approach demonstrates that a similar method and similar planning can be used to safely and economically perform future interventions.
成熟油田通常包括需要封堵弃井(P&A)和退役的井或平台。在文莱近海油田发现了两口高压气井,需要连续油管(CTU)干预来保护它们。由于致密地层中储层压力高,平台面积小,并且没有现有的地面设施,使得作业更加复杂。由于平台上的管线和管道设备没有投入使用,因此需要一种方法来获取大量的回采。为了克服这一挑战,设计和规划了一个综合作业,使用了一个完整的接触网CTU和一个带移动存储支持容器的泵送和反排包。回流系统将使液体(盐水和隔离液)和气体能够在高达5000 psi的压力下回流。移动存储支持船可以在岸上设施处理之前将回收物存储起来。在压井和泵入水泥穿过射孔之前,必须拆除多个油管塞。油管压力高表明与储层有一定的连通;因此,使用连续油管(CT)的桥塞移除策略必须包括降低风险,以确保可以安全移除桥塞。所有桥塞拆除后,使用17 kPa/m (14.45 ppg)氯化钙/溴化钙(CaCl2/CaBr2)混合盐水成功压井。接下来的作业是在射孔处定位水泥,直至在封堵弃井过程中切断油管的深度以下。隔离剂和水泥的设计必须量身定制,以避免CaCl2/CaBr2的兼容性问题以及二氧化碳(CO2)的存在。连续油管固井对于防止与压井液发生闪蒸反应以及将受污染的水泥体积降至最低至关重要。根据文莱壳牌石油公司的要求,水泥被成功放置并进行了测试。这些井已被安全加固,并准备进行计划的P&A过程。这些作业标志着高压致密气井在敏感环境下的首次成功作业,平台上没有地面设施。使用移动存储支持船,成功完成了压井作业。这种方法表明,类似的方法和类似的规划可以用于安全、经济地执行未来的干预措施。

Moving to digitalization era in the current low oil price environment, paradigm shift is really crucial in managing brownfield development and production. The challenge is to select the best technology to harvest the optimum production from the field but at the same time reduce potential capital and operating expenditure. The paper highlights the technology evaluation of Digital Intelligent Artificial Lift (DIAL) system. This includes it's working principles, candidates screening, risk mitigation plan as well as technology success criteria developed specifically for the technology. DIAL system is an in-well gas lift system that can overcome the well design and operational limitations of existing side pocket mandrels and valves. DIAL enables a better gas lift well design as well as able to interconnect downhole and surface monitoring & control in real-time. It provides opportunity for automation, better subsurface and surface integration as well as minimizing well intervention requirement. Based on the promising technology evaluation, one pilot well was identified by the team at DL field. The well was part of DL drilling campaign executed in Q2 2018. Details of the well design & scope, as well as gas lift design for the well will be shared. Commercial comparison was demonstrated between conventional side pocket mandrel system and the DIAL system. The case study at DL field will be discussed in details, starts from their wells’ design, technology deployment strategy, installation, production test result as well as lessons learnt during installation and operationalization of the system. Moving forward from the pilot application, root cause failure analysis was done, lessons learnt were identified, design improvements were proposed and continuous monitoring of the system will be done, according to the success criteria outlined. Potential replication candidates have also been identified by the team with at least 10 promising potential candidates to be installed within the next 2 years. The technology deployment was the result of collaborative works between PETRONAS, Silverwell Energy and Neural Oilfield Service.
在当前低油价环境下进入数字化时代,模式转变对于棕地开发和生产管理至关重要。面临的挑战是选择最佳技术来获得最佳产量,同时减少潜在的资本和运营支出。重点介绍了数字智能人工电梯(DIAL)系统的技术评价。这包括它的工作原则、候选人筛选、风险缓解计划以及专门为该技术制定的技术成功标准。DIAL系统是一种井内气举系统,可以克服现有侧袋式心筒和阀门的井设计和操作限制。DIAL可以实现更好的气举井设计,并能够实时连接井下和地面监测与控制。它为自动化、更好的地下和地面集成以及最大限度地减少油井干预需求提供了机会。在技术评价的基础上,团队在DL油田确定了一口试验井。该井是2018年第二季度进行的深度钻井活动的一部分。双方将分享该井的设计和范围以及气举设计的细节。对传统侧袋芯筒系统和DIAL系统进行了商业比较。DL油田的案例研究将从井的设计、技术部署策略、安装、生产测试结果以及系统安装和运行过程中的经验教训等方面进行详细讨论。从试点应用开始,进行了故障的根本原因分析,确定了经验教训,提出了改进设计的建议,并将根据概述的成功标准对系统进行持续监测。该团队还确定了潜在的复制候选项,其中至少有10个有希望的潜在候选项将在未来两年内安装。这项技术的部署是PETRONAS、Silverwell Energy和Neural Oilfield Service合作的结果。

Optimization of permanent liner completions in the North Kuwait Jurassic Gas (NKJG) reservoirs has been an ongoing challenge progressed on a steep learning curve within the last decade. Various completion options are field-tested in determining the optimal completion hardware and activation methodology. The asset's objectives have been multi-dimensional: preserve natural fractures, minimize formation damage, segregate, stimulate and activate optimally, while installing permanent completions hardware efficiently, which can withstand 15,000-psi differential pressure at high temperature and sour gas environment and sustain production for the well life of over 20 years. NKJG faces the enormous task of increasing the hydrocarbon production potential by over 200% within a short time period. The reservoirs are high-pressured and high-temperature (HTHP) gas condensate assets with tight matrix properties (i.e. <0.1 mD permeability), in variation with naturally fractured sections within flow-zones separated into eight segments. Preserving the natural fractures, removal of near wellbore damage and segregating flow-zones based on lithology and critical reservoir properties are important especially in peripheral subsurface locations, where the realization of full reservoir potential is not only essential for production success, but also required for appraisal of boundary conditions. For realizing these objectives, the asset custom-designed a multi-stage completion system with hydro-mechanical liner hanger packer, open-hole packers, hydraulic anchor and multiple frac ports set and activated as a drop-ball system. Due to the high completion loads, differential body and packer rating are manufactured to 15,000 psi using corrosion resistant alloy throughout, with the PBR and seal-bore assembly designed to withstand differential pressures and contraction during multiple fracturing events. Custom-designed multi-stage completion assembly (MSC-HP) was successfully installed, sequentially hydraulic-fracced and commingle-tested on flowback. Customized operational guidelines were established including a pre-set success criterion, openhole and caliper log sequences, tie-back cementation and subsequent clean out trips, followed by hole conditioning and reamer runs to compute the final drag and friction forces. Differential sticking risks were mitigated by avoiding the "pressure ramps" exacerbated by differential depletion evident in the area. Reservoir was segmented in three distinct intervals to maximize flow potential. As a result, the asset's objectives were successfully met, with the additional benefits of proving multiple zone activation, each with a complicated sequence of operational events, performed sequentially in four days. This paper documents the project cycle from successful planning and design, to installation and execution phases of the MSC-HP in peripheral deep NKJG asset.

在过去的十年里,北科威特侏罗纪天然气(NKJG)储层的永久尾管完井优化一直是一个挑战。为了确定最佳的完井硬件和激活方法,需要对各种完井方案进行现场测试。该资产的目标是多方面的:保护天然裂缝,最大限度地减少地层损害,隔离,增产和激活,同时有效地安装永久完井硬件,可以承受高温和含酸气环境下的15,000 psi压差,并在油井寿命超过20年的情况下保持生产。NKJG面临着在短时间内将油气生产潜力提高200%以上的艰巨任务。储层为高压高温(HTHP)凝析气藏,基质致密(渗透率<0.1 mD),流体带内的天然裂缝段分为8段。保护天然裂缝,消除近井损伤,根据岩性和油藏的关键属性隔离流动区域,这一点非常重要,特别是在外围地下位置,在这些位置,实现油藏的全部潜力不仅是成功生产的必要条件,而且还需要对边界条件进行评估。为了实现这些目标,该资产定制设计了多级完井系统,该系统包括液压机械尾管悬挂封隔器、裸眼封隔器、液压锚和多个压裂端口,并作为一个落球系统进行设置和激活。由于完井载荷高,压差体和封隔器的额定压力达到15,000 psi,整个过程中都使用了耐腐蚀合金,PBR和密封井眼组合的设计可以承受多次压裂过程中的压差和收缩。成功安装了定制设计的多级完井总成(MSC-HP),随后进行了水力压裂和反排混合测试。制定了定制的作业指南,包括预先设定的成功标准、裸眼和井径测井序列、回接固井和随后的清井起下钻,然后进行井眼调节和扩眼器下入,以计算最终的阻力和摩擦力。通过避免因该区域明显的差异枯竭而加剧的“压力斜坡”,降低了差异卡钻风险。为了最大限度地提高流动潜力,油藏被划分为三个不同的层段。结果,该资产的目标成功实现,另外还有额外的好处,证明了多个区域的激活,每个区域都有一个复杂的操作事件序列,在四天内依次完成。本文记录了MSC-HP在外围深层NKJG资产中从成功的规划和设计到安装和执行阶段的项目周期。总结了在地下位置不太有利的情况下取得成功的关键经验和关键因素。由于全球类似物的数量很少,导致行业学习非常规/常规混合层状碳酸盐岩的机会有限,因此将讨论由于严格的NKJG规格而增加的复杂性。

High carbon dioxide in reservoirs limits successful exploration in many petroliferous basins, particularly in Southeast Asia. High reservoir CO2 in the offshore Malay Basin represents a significant exploration challenge. Some fields contain >80% CO2, which makes them unattractive targets for development. Various hypotheses on the origin of CO2 have been proposed but remain controversial. This paper shows that geochemistry and advanced petroleum system modeling help to resolve the origins of reservoir CO2 and allow quantitative estimates of CO2 in prospective reservoir targets prior to drilling. A novel workflow estimates the CO2 content in reservoirs based on knowledge of the chemical mechanisms for the origin of the CO2 and numerical simulation of geologic burial history. Heat flow, deposition of overburden rock, and the kinetics of specific reaction mechanisms control the timing of CO2 generation and the relative contributions of CO2 from different sources. In this study, stable carbon isotope ratios of CO2 and methane (δ13CCO2 and δ13CCH4, ‰) were used to identify the source of the CO2 in Malay Basin gas samples. For example, Figure 3 shows δ13CCO2 and δ13CCH4 for samples from various depths in the nearby field. The isotope data indicate that the samples contain mixed CO2 derived by different mechanisms from two sources. Partial least squares (PLS) regression of δ13CCO2 and δ13CCH4 and depth for 61 samples from the nearby field, where %CO2 was set as the dependent variable, resulted in a systematic correlation between predicted and measured %CO2. Alternate least squares (ALS) confirms that the data can be explained by mixing of gases from two endmembers: (1) shallower samples show lower %CO2 that is isotopically depleted in δ13CCH4 and δ13CCO2, and (2) deeper samples show higher %CO2 that is isotopically enriched in δ13CCH4 and δ13CCO2. The relative proportion of each endmember in the mixture can be calculated for each gas. Examples of near endmember gases in the nearby field (Figure 3) are: (1) shallow thermogenic CO2 derived by cracking of kerogen, e.g., 1681 m, 5% CO2, δ13CCH4 = -60‰, δ13CCO2 = -13‰, (100:0 mix); and (2) deep CO2 from carbonate decomposition, e.g., 2918 m, 74% CO2, δ13CCH4 = -32‰, δ13CCO2 = -3‰ (15:85 mix). These results are consistent with the general observation that tested Miocene traps in the Malay Basin and show a general trend of higher concentrations of CO2 in the deeper traps that are nearer carbonate basement. Biogenic CO2 may represent a third endmember in other parts of the basin.
在许多含油气盆地,特别是在东南亚,储层中的高二氧化碳限制了成功的勘探。近海Malay盆地的高储层二氧化碳是一个重大的勘探挑战。一些油田的二氧化碳含量超过80%,这使得它们不适合开发。关于二氧化碳起源的各种假设已经提出,但仍有争议。本文表明,地球化学和先进的石油系统建模有助于解决储层二氧化碳的来源,并允许在钻探前对潜在储层目标的二氧化碳进行定量估计。一种新的工作流程基于对CO2起源的化学机制的了解和地质埋藏史的数值模拟来估算储层中的CO2含量。热流、覆盖岩沉积和特定反应机制的动力学控制了CO2生成的时间和不同来源CO2的相对贡献。利用稳定碳同位素比值(δ13CCO2和δ13CCH4,‰)确定马来盆地天然气样品中CO2的来源。例如,图3显示了附近油田不同深度样品的δ13CCO2和δ13CCH4。同位素数据表明,样品中含有来自两个不同来源的不同机制的混合CO2。以%CO2为因变量,对61个样品的δ13CCO2和δ13CCH4与深度进行偏最小二乘回归分析,结果表明预测值与实测值之间存在系统相关性。交替最小二乘法(ALS)证实了两个端元气体的混合作用:(1)较浅样品中CO2含量较低,同位素富集于δ13CCH4和δ13CCO2;(2)较深样品中CO2含量较高,同位素富集于δ13CCH4和δ13CCO2。可以计算出每种气体在混合物中各端元的相对比例。附近气田近端气体的例子(图3)有:(1)干酪根裂解产生的浅层热成因CO2,如1681 m, 5% CO2, δ13CCH4 = -60‰,δ13CCO2 = -13‰,(100:0混合);(2)碳酸盐分解产生的深层CO2,如2918 m, 74% CO2, δ13CCH4 = -32‰,δ13CCO2 = -3‰(15:85混合)。这些结果与马来盆地中新世圈闭的一般观测结果一致,表明靠近碳酸盐基底的深层圈闭中CO2浓度较高。在盆地的其他地区,生物源CO2可能是第三个端元。

Biogenic CO2 may represent a third endmember in other parts of the basin.","PeriodicalId":11182,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Thu, October 25, 2018","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81633000","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}

Tight oil reservoirs need fracturing to obtain industrial productivity, and brittleness of rock has an important effect on fracturing. For oil reservoirs of the Permian Lucaogou Formation in Jimusar Sag of Junggar Basin, in order to predict brittleness index accurately, 19 typical tight oil core samples were selected and the related parameters of petrophysics and rock mechanics were measured at first, it is found that the static and dynamic brittleness indices vary greatly. Then, based on the static and dynamic experimental results of core samples and previous research results, the ratio of static and dynamic brittleness indices is constructed, it has a well correlation with porosity and clay content. Hence, according to the porosity and clay content correction, the static and dynamic conversion model of brittleness indices is built. The predicted results of the model are in good agreement with the experimental results. Then, on the basis of the composition, structure and deformation mechanism, the reservoirs are divided into three types via rock brittleness. The stress-strain curves of good, poor and moderate brittleness reservoirs are respectively linear, concave and "S". The static brittleness index-Poisson's ratio cross plot is built to classify the reservoirs. When the static brittleness index is greater than 85 and Poisson's ratio is less than 0.2, the reservoir shows good brittleness. When the static brittleness index is less than 40 and Poisson's ratio is greater than 0.24, the reservoir shows poor brittleness, and when the static brittleness index and Poisson's ratio are between them, the reservoir shows moderate brittleness. Finally, the static and dynamic brittleness index conversion model and reservoir classification standard are applied to formation evaluation in the study area, showing good application results. The research results are of guiding significance for the conversion of static and dynamic parameters of tight oil reservoirs, the selection of fracturing layers and fracturing operation schemes.
致密油储层需要压裂才能获得工业产能,而岩石的脆性对压裂有重要影响。针对准噶尔盆地吉木萨凹陷二叠系芦草沟组致密油储层,为了准确预测其脆性指数,选取了19个典型致密油岩心样品,对其岩石物理和岩石力学相关参数进行了测量,发现其静态和动态脆性指数差异较大。然后,根据岩心静动力试验结果和前人的研究成果,构建了岩心静动力脆性指标的比值,该比值与孔隙度和粘土含量具有较好的相关性。据此,根据孔隙率和粘土含量的修正,建立了脆性指标的静态和动态转换模型。模型的预测结果与实验结果吻合较好。在此基础上,根据储层的组成、构造和变形机理,通过岩石脆性度将储层划分为3种类型。好脆性、差脆性和中脆性储层的应力-应变曲线分别为线形、凹形和S形。建立了静态脆性指数-泊松比交叉图对储层进行分类。当静态脆性指数大于85,泊松比小于0.2时,储层表现出较好的脆性。当静态脆性指数小于40且泊松比大于0.24时,储层脆性较差,当静态脆性指数与泊松比介于两者之间时,储层脆性中等。最后,将静、动态脆性指数转换模型和储层分类标准应用于研究区储层评价,取得了良好的应用效果。研究结果对致密油储层静、动态参数转换、压裂层的选择和压裂作业方案的确定具有指导意义。

Vertical Minihole Creation and Fracturing Technology for Completing Unconventional Wells 非常规井的垂直小井眼形成与压裂技术
Pub Date : 2018-10-19 DOI: 10.2118/192073-MS

The success of shale development has inspired new technologies to economize the extensive fracturing treatments necessary to complete extremely low permeability commercial wells. While bi-wing fractures are typically achieved during conventional fracture stimulation applications, it is often necessary to generate a complex fracturing network for most formation types encountered in very low permeability unconventional wells. Therefore, for source shale formations, the emphasis is on connectivity to natural fractures to establish an adequate stimulated reservoir volume (SRV). This paper discusses a new approach where improved initial wellbore-to-formation connections can be achieved by creating extended large diameter vertical cavities from the lateral as an effective fracture initiation point. This provides improved connectivity to the stimulated reservoir network both during stimulation and production. Additionally, this paper discusses the unique mechanics of the new procedure to generate a large connected SRV (CSRV) in unconventional formations, the technique, and the resulting benefits in fracture stimulation of resource shales or in ultra low permeability sandstones or carbonates as well as coal reservoirs. This new approach is fairly easy to implement, can be applied with limited hydraulic horsepower availability, and the impact could be substantial.
页岩开发的成功激发了新技术的发展,以节省完成极低渗透率商业井所需的大量压裂处理。虽然双翼裂缝通常是在常规压裂增产应用中实现的,但对于非常低渗透率的非常规井中遇到的大多数地层类型,通常需要建立一个复杂的压裂网络。因此,对于源页岩地层,重点是与天然裂缝的连通性,以建立足够的增产储层体积(SRV)。本文讨论了一种新的方法,该方法可以通过从侧向井段开始制造大直径的垂直空腔作为有效的裂缝起裂点,从而改善井筒与地层的初始连接。在增产和生产过程中,这改善了与增产油藏网络的连通性。此外,本文还讨论了在非常规地层中产生大型连续SRV (CSRV)的新方法的独特机制,该技术以及在资源页岩、超低渗透砂岩、碳酸盐岩以及煤储层的裂缝增产中所带来的好处。这种新方法相当容易实施,可以在有限的液压马力可用性下应用,并且影响可能是巨大的。

Managing Complex, Laterally and Vertically Compartmentalized Reservoirs in a Subsea Tie-Back via Smart Well Completions – Case Studies 通过智能完井管理海底回接中复杂、横向和垂直划分的油藏——案例研究
Pub Date : 2018-10-19 DOI: 10.2118/192013-MS
N. Smith, Abid Ghous, Sagarika Bharatiya
This paper presents case studies on reservoir and well management of two laterally and vertically compartmentalized Western Australian Triassic gas condensate reservoirs, developed by five multi-zone "smart" wells with sand control, tied back to an offshore platform via a subsea network. In managing assets with such complexity, it is imperative to understand reservoir performance on a zone-by-zone basis. Quantifying performance allows management of flux through downhole sand control systems and optimisation of offtake strategy. The majority of the material published to date on "smart" wells has been focused on completion design optimisation and minimisation of unwanted oil/water production. There are few existing articles about production and reservoir optimisation of high rate gas wells requiring flux management. This paper showcases how remotely-operated selective completions ("smart" wells with permanent downhole gauges for each completion coupled with subsea flow meters for each well) have been instrumental in facilitating prompt analysis of zonal reservoir performance and thus in yielding insights into reservoir connectivity and allowing optimisation of zonal contributions. Various case studies will be presented showing how reservoir surveillance data is acquired and interpreted to optimize well zone-by-zone production and to manage flux limits on each producing zone. These case studies will include manipulation of downhole valves to provide information for established techniques such as interference testing and P/Z analysis. Data acquisition and interpretation challenges are highlighted along with fit-for-purpose solutions developed to overcome those challenges. The insights presented could facilitate better planning of similar systems in the future.
本文介绍了西澳大利亚三叠纪凝析气藏的储层和井管理案例研究,该气藏由5口带有防砂功能的多层“智能”井开发,通过海底网络与海上平台相连。在管理如此复杂的资产时,必须逐层了解储层的动态。量化性能可以通过井下防砂系统进行通量管理,并优化采油策略。迄今为止,大多数关于“智能”井的材料都集中在完井设计优化和最小化不必要的油/水产量上。现有的关于需要通量管理的高产气井的生产和储层优化的文章很少。本文展示了远程选择性完井(每次完井都配有永久性井下仪表和海底流量计的“智能”井)如何有助于及时分析层间油藏的动态,从而深入了解油藏的连通性,并优化层间产量。将介绍各种案例研究,展示如何获取和解释储层监测数据,以逐层优化油井生产,并管理每个生产区的通量限制。这些案例研究将包括对井下阀门的操作,为干扰测试和P/Z分析等现有技术提供信息。重点介绍了数据采集和解释方面的挑战,以及为克服这些挑战而开发的适用解决方案。所提出的见解有助于今后更好地规划类似的系统。

Case Study for Performance Benefits of Cased-Hole Logging in Coal Bed Methane CBM 煤层气套管井测井效益实例研究
Pub Date : 2018-10-19 DOI: 10.2118/191932-MS

This paper presents a case study review of the performance benefits of a 66 well Coal Bed Methane (CBM) development program whereby cased-hole (CH) logging was introduced as a substitute for open-hole (OH) logging. This paper demonstrates how the reduction in OH logging requirements improved time and cost performance and reduced risk exposure while maintaining suitable data quality. The approach was based on utilizing existing offset well data and three-dimensional (3D) seismic data to substitute OH density logging for CH density logging. Therefore reducing critical path time on the drilling rig and risk exposure with wireline logging tools in an OH environment. A qualitative and quantitative approach to review rig performance and cost benefits was subsequently undertaken. The density log was of key importance as it is used to define net coal thickness in CBM reservoirs. Current CH density logging typically results in the reduction of log resolution and accuracy which limits the ability to resolve thinner coal seams. The loss of coal definition has the potential to result in the under-estimation of net coal for reserves purposes, impact static modelling and possibly negatively impact fracture stimulation decisions. The 66 well development program provided a suitable data set to quantify the performance benefits of a combined CH and OH evaluation program. The transition to CH density logs removes online evaluation activities during the drilling operation. This provides a direct time and associated spread cost saving. In addition, unsuccessful OH logs were replaced with CH density logs when hole conditions presented higher likelihood of unproductive and high risk operations (tight hole/fishing). The campaigning of CH logging operations further optimized both wireline and operating company resources and time. The CH density logs provided suitable data to adequately identify coal targets in order to stimulate and complete the wellbore. The reduction in log resolution and coal identification was overcome by developing 'optimized' density cut-offs based on a calibration study with OH density wireline data. This case study supports the use of CH density logs in lieu of OH density logs where feasible for CBM reservoirs. It demonstrates the operational optimizations and cost savings by conducting wireline logging operations offline while also reducing risk exposure to down hole issues.
本文介绍了一个66口煤层气(CBM)开发项目的案例研究综述,该项目采用套管井(CH)测井代替裸眼(OH)测井。本文演示了OH日志记录需求的减少如何改善了时间和成本性能,并降低了风险暴露,同时保持了适当的数据质量。该方法基于现有邻井数据和三维(3D)地震数据,以OH密度测井代替CH密度测井。因此,减少了钻井平台上的关键路径时间,减少了在OH环境下使用电缆测井工具的风险。随后采取了定性和定量方法来评估钻机性能和成本效益。密度测井是确定煤层气储层净煤厚的关键。目前的CH密度测井通常会导致测井分辨率和精度的降低,从而限制了对薄煤层的解析能力。煤炭定义的缺失有可能导致净煤储量的低估,影响静态建模,并可能对压裂增产决策产生负面影响。66口井的开发方案提供了合适的数据集,可以量化碳氢和氢氧联合评估方案的性能效益。向CH密度测井的过渡消除了钻井作业期间的在线评估活动。这直接节省了时间和相关的价差成本。此外,当井眼条件出现非生产性和高风险作业(紧井/打捞)的可能性较大时,将不成功的OH测井替换为CH密度测井。CH测井作业的开展进一步优化了电缆和作业公司的资源和时间。甲烷密度测井提供了合适的数据,可以充分识别煤靶,从而进行增产和完井。通过对OH密度电缆数据的校准研究,开发了“优化”的密度截止值,克服了测井分辨率和煤炭识别的降低。该案例研究支持在煤层气储层可行的情况下使用甲烷密度测井代替氢氧密度测井。通过离线进行电缆测井作业,可以实现作业优化和成本节约,同时降低了井下问题的风险。

Improving Conformance in an Injector Well Using Delayed Crosslink Polymer Gel : A Case Study 使用延迟交联聚合物凝胶改善注入井的一致性:一个案例研究

Waterflood is most commonly used secondary recovery mechanism in conventional sanstone reservoirs worldwide. Waterflooding assists in pressure maintenance and increases the field estimated ultimate recovery (EUR). Conformance in water injector wells plays an important role during waterflooding of a reservoir. Better conformance results in improved vertical sweep efficiency leading to higher recovery. Continuous injection of fluids into the reservoir at higher rates may create channels for preferential flow. Zones of higher permeability, leading to higher injectivity in selective zones, can also exist because of various lithological conditions and rock structures comprising of naturally occurring fractures or fissures. For injection wells, the entry of fluids into a set of perforations is governed by the quality of the perforations and the permeability of the formation at that depth. Preferential flow of injected fluids into selective pay intervals results in diminished overall sweep efficiency. (J. Vasquez, et.al., 2008). This paper discusses the use of thermally activated gels from polyacrylamides and metal chelates applied for selective reservoir matrix permeability reduction in an injector well. A low concentration, low viscosity delayed crosslinker gel system employing partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (PHPA) exhibiting 12-14% degree of hydrolysis level with chromium acetate as crosslinker offering delayed gelation time was used to selectively isolate one of the payzones. A non-profile retrievable (NPR) plug was installed to isolate the target interval from the rest of the pay zones to enable selective treatment of the interval using coiled tubing (CT). The fluid was customized to minimize CT friction while ensuring that the rheological properties of the fluid in the reservoir would achieve the desired diversion and allow delayed gel crosslinking mechanism assuring avoiding of gel crosslinking in CT while pumping in progress. Denser brine relative to the delayed gel density was spotted above the NPR plug to avoid gel settling on the plug for easy retrieval of the plug post-treatment. Injectivity was measured and subsequently, the treatment was placed as per design while constantly monitoring the pressures so as to qualitatively determine the effectiveness of the treatment placement. The treatment resulted in significant alteration in injectivity of the targeted zone. Post-treatment production logs confirmed an improvement in the injection conformance. Later, the zone was isolated and the bottommost zones were selectively stimulated enhancing the injection and thus improving sweep efficiency. Since the crosslinked gel system is not prone to any disintegration when in contact with acidic interventions, the treatment ensures a superior longevity of the conformance control when compared to other conventional diversion or zonal shut-off treatments. The success of the treatment substantiates that the CT deployed low viscosity, low concentr
注水开发是世界范围内常规砂岩油藏最常用的二次采油机制。水驱有助于维持压力,提高油田估计的最终采收率(EUR)。注水井的一致性在油藏注水过程中起着至关重要的作用。更好的井眼分布可以提高垂直波及效率,从而提高采收率。以较高的速率连续向储层注入流体可以为优先流动创造通道。由于不同的岩性条件和由天然裂缝或裂缝组成的岩石结构,也可能存在高渗透率区域,从而导致选择性区域的高注入能力。对于注水井,流体进入一组射孔是由射孔质量和该深度地层的渗透率决定的。注入流体优先流向选择性产层,导致整体波及效率降低。(J.瓦斯奎兹等), 2008)。本文讨论了聚丙烯酰胺和金属螯合物热活化凝胶在注入井中选择性降低储层基质渗透率的应用。采用低浓度、低粘度的延迟交联凝胶体系,采用部分水解的聚丙烯酰胺(PHPA),水解度为12-14%,以醋酸铬为交联剂,提供延迟的凝胶化时间,选择性地分离了其中一个产层。安装了一个非剖面可回收(NPR)桥塞,将目标层段与其他产层隔离开来,从而可以使用连续油管(CT)对该层段进行选择性处理。定制的流体可以最大限度地减少连续油管的摩擦,同时确保储层中流体的流变特性能够达到预期的导流效果,并允许延迟凝胶交联机制,确保在泵送过程中避免连续油管的凝胶交联。相对于延迟的凝胶密度,在NPR桥塞上方发现了密度更大的盐水,以避免凝胶沉积在桥塞上,便于在处理后回收桥塞。测量注入量,随后按照设计进行处理,同时不断监测压力,以定性地确定处理放置的有效性。该处理显著改变了目标层的注入能力。处理后的生产日志证实了注入一致性的改善。随后,对该层进行隔离,并对最底部的层进行选择性增产,从而提高注入量,从而提高波及效率。由于交联凝胶体系在与酸性干预措施接触时不容易发生崩解,因此与其他常规的转向或层间关井措施相比,该措施确保了更长的一致性控制寿命。处理的成功证明,连续油管部署的低粘度、低浓度延迟交联凝胶体系可以成功地扩展到生产井的选择性关水应用中。实施的注入器剖面修改处理为一致性问题提供了全面的解决方案,提高了体积扫描效率,维持了枯竭砂层的压力,并避免了生产井的进一步水循环。

Since the crosslinked gel system is not prone to any disintegration when in contact with acidic interventions, the treatment ensures a superior longevity of the conformance control when compared to other conventional diversion or zonal shut-off treatments.\u0000 The success of the treatment substantiates that the CT deployed low viscosity, low concentr","PeriodicalId":11182,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Thu, October 25, 2018","volume":"165 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74772825","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}

A Vertical Seismic Profile acquired while drilling and which utilized an a priori velocity model template to facilitate accurate well landing in a constrained drilling section is presented. The results were compared to original predictions based on surface seismic and actual formation depths taken from log data. The approach used actual checkshot velocities acquired in real time using VSP lookahead imaging while drilling to reduce spatial and depth uncertainty. Projections ahead of the well landing utilized the checkshot data to perturb the a priori velocity templates in real time. It was also complemented by the borehole seismic image to check for sub-seismic faults and alternate interpretations. Based on these projections, trajectory corrections were made to optimize landing the well in a key reservoir sand. Initiating early directional changes were critical to land on a short, directionally-constrained open-hole section whilst ensuring the section was within the targeted fault block. A comparison of the actual wellbore velocities against the predrill scenarios is provided along with corresponding vertical depth predictions. Lateral constraint was provided by the correlations of the VSP with the surface seismic image at key stages while drilling. Mapping of the drilling data to the velocity templates showed a deep case scenario for well placement. Details of the two resultant trajectory changes initiated after 2 and 5 stands of drilling respectively are explained. The approach allowed for accurate well placement, reducing depth uncertainty from 60-100 ft. predrill to within 5 ft from final while drilling prediction to actual depth. Final depth confirmation utilized Gamma Ray and Resistivity at Bit Inclination (GABI and RABI) for the key sand. The sand was found to be 18 ft. deeper than initially expected based on the pre-drill model. This method saved the drillers a potential side track. Conventional Electromagnetic well placement techniques can be limited in short open-hole sections where early time information is required to facilitate trajectory changes to allow for correct spatial landings. By using VSP while drilling in conjunction with a priori modelling, data can be acquired early enough to successfully, address this challenge.
在钻井过程中获得的垂直地震剖面,利用先验速度模型模板,在受限钻井段实现准确的井眼着陆。结果与基于地面地震的原始预测和从测井数据中获取的实际地层深度进行了比较。该方法在钻井过程中使用VSP超前成像技术实时获取实际检射速度,以减少空间和深度的不确定性。下井前的预测利用检查数据实时干扰先验速度模板。井眼地震图像也作为补充,用于检查次地震断层和交替解释。基于这些预测,进行了轨迹修正,以优化井在关键储层砂层的着陆。为了在短且方向受限的裸眼井段着陆,同时确保该段位于目标断块内,早期进行定向改变至关重要。提供了实际井筒速度与钻前情景的比较以及相应的垂直深度预测。在钻井的关键阶段,VSP与地面地震图像的相关性提供了横向约束。将钻井数据映射到速度模板显示了一个深井场景。解释了分别进行2次和5次钻井后产生的两种轨迹变化的细节。该方法可以实现精确的井眼定位,将深度不确定性从预钻60-100英尺减少到从最终钻井预测到实际深度的5英尺以内。最后利用伽马射线和钻头倾角电阻率(GABI和RABI)对关键砂层进行深度确认。根据钻前模型,发现砂层深度比最初预计的要深18英尺。这种方法为司钻节省了一条潜在的侧钻轨迹。传统的电磁井位技术在短裸眼井段中存在局限性,因为裸眼井段需要早期信息来促进轨迹变化,从而实现正确的空间着陆。通过在钻井过程中使用VSP与先验建模相结合,可以尽早获得数据,从而成功解决这一挑战。
