Yarlong Wang, M. Dusseault
Refracturing is often required in shale and tight gas formations because of inadequate initial HF design or unexpectedly rapid production decline. Water blocking because of fracturing liquid incompatibility, unexpected proppant embedment and crushing, shorter or curved primary fracture length because of premature screen off, general pressure depletion, primary fracture mis-orientation from stress shadowing, unfavourable poroelastic effects limiting the performance of the stimulated volume, and, in general, formation permeability reduction from stress sensitivity may all contribute to unsatisfactory or rapidly declining production. We emphasize the role of geomechanics in candidate screening and review the major factors leading to production decline in unconventional reservoirs. Although the fracture geometry may be altered in a staged fracturing process, the primary focus should be given to the formation permeability enhancement either due to shear dilation or induced fractured network elongation.
在页岩和致密气地层中,由于初始高频设计不足或产量意外快速下降,通常需要重复压裂。由于压裂液不相容导致的水堵塞、意外的支撑剂嵌入和破碎、过早关闭筛管导致的主裂缝长度变短或弯曲、普遍的压力枯竭、应力阴影导致的主裂缝定向错误、不利的孔隙弹性效应限制了增产体积的性能,以及通常由于应力敏感性导致的地层渗透率降低,这些都可能导致产量不理想或迅速下降。我们强调了地质力学在候选油藏筛选中的作用,并回顾了导致非常规油藏产量下降的主要因素。尽管在分段压裂过程中可能会改变裂缝的几何形状,但主要的重点应该放在由于剪切膨胀或诱导裂缝网络延伸而提高地层渗透率上。

In the current and future scenario of increasing demand for hydrocarbons, Multi-Disciplinary Integrated Reservoir Management team is the key to achieve maximum production rates and ultimate recovery. In Raudhatain Upper Burgan reservoir production started in 1959 with initial reservoir pressure of 3850 psi. Decline in reservoir pressure with sustained rate of production indicated weak aquifer support and initiated water injection during the year 2001 with three flank injectors. Production rate was sustained at 30 to 35 MBOPD for long time and it was decided that to go the next level of production and to meet KOC's strategic production target. Various alternative pressures – production plans were scrutinized by the multi-disciplinary team consists of Geologists, Reservoir Engineers, Petrophysicists and Petroleum Engineers and identified bottlenecks, constraints and action plan to address the problems and to accelerate the production. Some of the bottlenecks to accelerate the production were decreasing pressure, unavailability of required volume of water for injection, delay in commissioning of effluent water injection facility and low productivity of flank wells with viscous oil. The integrated Reservoir management team initiated number of projects to increase the productivity like Paradigm shift in drilling practice by way of drilling Horizontal, Multilateral wells and completing with ICD's for better production and injection sweep efficiency. Liquidated the sick wells with no potential in any other Reservoirs (Multiple Reservoirs) are identified for Horizontal Sidetracking to sweet spot areas. Decreasing Reservoir pressure and Voidage Replacement Ratio has been addressed by changing the water injection strategy and aligning the injectors in right areas. The results were rewarding as the production rate doubled from a sustained level of 35 MBOPD to more than 70 MBOPD in a span of 3 to 4 years. The initiatives taken to convert the producers to injectors resulted in increased water injection volume and doubled the Voidage Replacement Ratio. This paper presents the details of Integrated Reservoir Management team efforts and what are the initiatives and strategic actions taken by overcoming the current constraints to double its production. It discusses the effective Reservoir Management of a mature oil field to enhance and accelerate production.
在当前和未来对油气需求不断增长的情况下,多学科综合油藏管理团队是实现最大产量和最终采收率的关键。Raudhatain Upper Burgan油藏于1959年开始生产,初始油藏压力为3850 psi。在持续生产速度下,储层压力下降表明含水层支撑能力较弱,在2001年使用了三个侧翼注入器开始注水。长期以来,石油产量一直保持在30 - 35万桶/天,因此决定进入下一个生产阶段,以实现科威特石油公司的战略生产目标。由地质学家、油藏工程师、岩石物理学家和石油工程师组成的多学科团队仔细审查了各种替代压力生产计划,并确定了瓶颈、限制和行动计划,以解决问题并加速生产。加速生产的一些瓶颈是压力降低,无法获得所需的注入水量,污水注入设施的调试延迟以及具有粘性油的侧井产能低。为了提高产能,综合油藏管理团队启动了一系列项目,例如钻井实践中的范式转换,通过钻水平井、多口井和ICD完井来提高生产和注入效率。清理了在其他油藏(多油藏)中没有潜力的病井,进行水平侧钻至甜点区域。通过改变注水策略和在正确的区域调整注入器,解决了油藏压力降低和空隙替代率降低的问题。结果是令人满意的,在3到4年的时间里,产量从35万桶/天增加到70万桶/天,翻了一番。将生产井转变为注水井的措施增加了注水量,并使空隙置换率提高了一倍。本文介绍了综合油藏管理团队的工作细节,以及克服当前限制使其产量翻倍所采取的举措和战略行动。论述了成熟油田有效的油藏管理,以提高和加快生产。

The examination and prevention of casing damage is an important work in oil and gas field development projects. Casing damage will directly influence the production of oil and gas, the effect of water injection and the life cycle of oil, gas and water well. With the number of casing damage wells increasing year by year in each oil field, inspections and precautions of casing damage status have become more and more important during development of the filed. With the development of big data technologies, we can predict the casing damage based on historical and real-time data, and optimize the maintenance intervals of casing. In this paper, we proposed a casing damage prediction method based on principal component analysis (PCA) and gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT) algorithm. Building a three-nodes Spark big data platform, we tested our proposed method on a dataset in an oil-field in mid-east China. Firstly, based on data analysis and expertise, selected 10 parameters which affect the casing damage most, including casing outside diameter, wall thickness, perforation density etc. Secondly, using PCA to reduce the dimension of parameters. Thirdly, building the algorithm model of casing damage risk assessment by GBDT, training and optimizing the model parameters. Fourthly, using the proposed model for casing damage prediction. Using precision and AUC(Area Under ROC Curve) to evaluate the proposed method, and compared with traditional methods, including decision tree, logistic regression and Naïve Bayes, the experiment results show that compared with traditional methods, the proposed method gain 86.3% precision and AUC is 1, both higher than traditional methods, which means it has better prediction precision and performance. The proposed method also can apply to predict the probability of a normal well becoming a casing damage well, and finally can provide the decision support for on-site operations. The proposed method using data-driven idea to provide the decision support for oilfield operations, and lay the foundation for the construction of intelligence oilfield.
套管损伤检测与预防是油气田开发项目中的一项重要工作。套管损坏将直接影响到油气产量、注水效果和油、气、水井生命周期。随着各油田套管损坏井数量的逐年增加,在油田开发过程中,对套管损坏状况的检查和预防变得越来越重要。随着大数据技术的发展,可以基于历史数据和实时数据预测套管损坏情况,优化套管维修间隔。提出了一种基于主成分分析(PCA)和梯度增强决策树(GBDT)算法的套管损伤预测方法。建立了一个三节点Spark大数据平台,在中国中东某油田的数据集上对本文提出的方法进行了测试。首先,根据数据分析和专业知识,选取了对套管损伤影响最大的10个参数,包括套管外径、壁厚、射孔密度等;其次,利用主成分分析法对参数进行降维。第三,利用GBDT建立套管损伤风险评估算法模型,并对模型参数进行训练和优化。第四,应用该模型进行套管损伤预测。利用精度和ROC曲线下面积(Area Under ROC Curve, AUC)对所提出方法进行评价,并与决策树、逻辑回归和Naïve贝叶斯等传统方法进行比较,实验结果表明,与传统方法相比,所提出方法的精度为86.3%,AUC为1,均高于传统方法,具有更好的预测精度和性能。该方法还可用于正常井变成套管损坏井的概率预测,为现场作业提供决策支持。该方法运用数据驱动思想,为油田作业提供决策支持,为油田智能化建设奠定基础。

Establishing communication between the wellbore and hydrocarbon-bearing formations is critical to ensure optimal production. Laser is a new technology that utilizes the power of light to perforate rocks. The technology is non-damaging, safe (non-explosive), and affords precise control over the perforation's geometry (size and shape). The process creates an enhanced tunnel that improves the flow and increases production. The technology has been successfully demonstrated in the lab environment. The results are used to develop a field deployment strategy. In the field, the laser source will be mounted on a coiled tubing unit on the surface and transmitted downhole via optical fibers. Downhole, the beam is out-coupled and directed to the target using an optical bottom hole assembly (oBHA). This tool combines optical and mechanical components to control the beam and produce multipole shots per foot as needed to create the desired perforation network. High-power laser perforation is the next new intelligent perforation generation that will change current well perforation. Laser-rock interaction drives in the transformation of electromagnetic energy into thermal energy. This results in a highly localized and controllable temperature surge that can melt or vaporize the rocks. These properties make the technology a unique alternative to current perforation techniques based on shaped charge guns. The thermal process induced by the laser enhances the flow properties of the rock, especially in tight formations. Laser perforation has been tested on all types for rocks including unconventional tight sands. This has been proven through extensive pre- and post-perforation characterization over the last two decades. This work presents the development and evolution of the high-power laser tools for subsurface applications. These tools provide innovative and non-damaging alternatives to current downhole technologies. In the lab, the laser technology has been proven to improve the flow properties; thus, it can improve communication between the wellbore and formation. To achieve this efficiently in the field, it is necessary to develop different tool designs and configurations, manufacture prototypes, conduct extensive tests, and optimize each part before upscale for field operations. The laser source is mounted in a coil tubing rig at the surface; the coil contains the optical fiber cable used to convey the energy to the downhole tool. The tool combines mechanical and optical components to transform, control, and direct the laser beam. The design and configuration of each tool assembly varies depending on the targeted application. For example, the perforation tool converts and splits the beam into several horizontal beams; whereas the drilling tool emits a straight beam with controlled size for deeper penetration. They also incorporate purging capabilities to circulate fluids to clean the hole from the debris and carry the cuttings. The entire assembly must be
建立井筒与含油气地层之间的连通是确保最佳产量的关键。激光是一种利用光的力量来射孔岩石的新技术。该技术无损伤,安全(无爆炸),并且可以精确控制射孔的几何形状(大小和形状)。该工艺创造了一个增强的隧道,改善了流量,提高了产量。该技术已在实验室环境中成功验证。研究结果用于制定现场部署策略。在现场,激光源将安装在地面的连续油管上,并通过光纤传输到井下。在井下,光束通过光学底部钻具组合(oBHA)外耦合并定向到目标。该工具结合了光学和机械组件来控制光束,并根据需要产生每英尺多极射孔,以创建所需的射孔网络。大功率激光射孔技术是下一代智能射孔技术,将改变当前的射孔技术。激光与岩石的相互作用驱动了电磁能向热能的转化。这导致了一个高度局部可控的温度波动,可以融化或蒸发岩石。这些特性使该技术成为当前基于聚能射孔枪的射孔技术的独特替代方案。激光诱导的热过程增强了岩石的流动特性,特别是在致密地层中。激光射孔已经在所有类型的岩石上进行了测试,包括非常规致密砂岩。在过去的二十年中,通过广泛的射孔前后表征已经证明了这一点。这项工作介绍了用于地下应用的高功率激光工具的发展和演变。这些工具为现有的井下技术提供了创新且无害的替代方案。在实验室中,激光技术已被证明可以改善流动性能;因此,它可以改善井筒与地层之间的连通。为了在现场有效地实现这一目标,有必要开发不同的工具设计和配置,制造原型,进行广泛的测试,并在升级到现场作业之前优化每个部件。激光源安装在地面的螺旋管钻机中;线圈包含用于将能量传输到井下工具的光纤电缆。该工具结合了机械和光学组件来变换、控制和引导激光束。每个工具组件的设计和配置因目标应用而异。例如,射孔工具将光束转换并拆分为若干水平光束;而钻井工具则发射具有控制尺寸的直光束,以实现更深的穿透。它们还具有吹扫功能,使流体循环以清除井眼中的碎屑并携带岩屑。整个组件必须能装进小到4英寸的小洞里。最后,坚固耐用,可以在高压和高温的复杂环境中运行。该技术提高了覆盖范围,并以紧凑和环保的方式提供了多功能性。例如,当用于压裂时,它是一种无水技术,当用于射孔时,它是一种非爆炸性射孔技术。该技术的独特之处在于,无论储层应力方向和大小如何,都可以在任何方向上精确、可控、定向地输送能量。因此,它增加了目前常规技术和实践所绕过的产层的采油范围。寻找替代技术的动机是技术的进步,包括高功率激光,以及需要以环保的方式加强深井中的几种应用。

Performance evaluations of oil and gas assets are crucial for continuously improving operational efficiency in the mainstream petroleum industry. The success of such evaluations is largely driven by the analysis of the data accumulated during the asset's operational cycle. Usually, the amount of data stored in the databases dramatically exceeds the ability to approach the analysis with traditional spreadsheet-based tools or linear modeling. In this study we use data mining with multivariate predictive analytics and monetize on the value of data by transforming the inferred information into knowledge and further into rigorous business decisions. With the expansion of the Digital Oil Field and transformation into the 4th Industrial Revolution, the oil and gas industry is acquiring tremendous amounts of data that come from disparate sources in a variety of origins, time scales, structures and quality. The underlying variable root-cause relationships are highly non-linear and non-intuitive, and simplistic linear regression methods are suboptimal. We approach the challenge by developing a data-driven workflow that integrates components of artificial intelligence, machine learning and pattern recognition to enhance quantitative understanding of complex data. The sanitized aggregated data set combines 470 horizontal wells, covering 15 numerical (e.g., stimulation interval length, production rates) and categorical (e.g., target zone, proppant type) predictors and the total produced BOE, as the response variable. The objective is to predict an optimal set of variables that maximize the production. We utilize an integrated analytics platform that enables a variety of sophisticated statistical operations on large-scale data: a) comprehensive data QA/QC for outliers, consistency and missing entries; b) Exploratory Data Analysis and visualization; c) feature selection, screening and ranking; d) building and training of multiple machine learning (ML) models for multi-variate regression (e.g. generalized linear model, deep learning, decision tree, random forest and gradient boosted machine); and e) response optimization of an identified "best-performing" ML model for highest prediction accuracy. Our study introduces the initiative to establish concepts best practices for predictive and prescriptive analytics in domains of reservoir simulation, description and asset management. Given the unique volume and information richness of operational data, acquired over decades of production history, the anticipated applications of predictive analytics could expand to drilling optimization, smart data aggregation, well stimulation and equipment maintenance.
在主流石油行业中,油气资产绩效评价对于持续提高作业效率至关重要。这种评估的成功在很大程度上取决于对资产运营周期中积累的数据的分析。通常,存储在数据库中的数据量大大超过了使用传统的基于电子表格的工具或线性建模进行分析的能力。在本研究中,我们将数据挖掘与多元预测分析相结合,通过将推断的信息转化为知识并进一步转化为严格的业务决策,从而实现数据价值的货币化。随着数字油田的扩展和第四次工业革命的到来,油气行业正在获取大量来自不同来源、不同时间尺度、不同结构和不同质量的数据。潜在变量的根本原因关系是高度非线性和非直观的,简单的线性回归方法是次优的。我们通过开发数据驱动的工作流来应对这一挑战,该工作流集成了人工智能、机器学习和模式识别的组件,以增强对复杂数据的定量理解。经过处理的汇总数据集包含470口水平井,包括15个数值预测指标(如增产段长度、产量)和分类预测指标(如目标层、支撑剂类型),以及作为响应变量的总产油量。目标是预测一组使产量最大化的最优变量。我们利用一个集成的分析平台,可以对大规模数据进行各种复杂的统计操作:a)对异常值、一致性和缺失条目进行全面的数据QA/QC;b)探索性数据分析和可视化;C)特征选择、筛选和排序;d)建立和训练用于多变量回归的多个机器学习(ML)模型(如广义线性模型、深度学习、决策树、随机森林和梯度增强机);e)对已确定的“最佳表现”ML模型进行响应优化,以获得最高的预测精度。我们的研究介绍了在油藏模拟、描述和资产管理领域建立预测和规范分析的概念和最佳实践的倡议。考虑到数十年生产历史中获得的作业数据的独特数量和信息丰富性,预测分析的预期应用可以扩展到钻井优化、智能数据聚合、油井增产和设备维护。

Hydraulic fracturing is often performed using resin-coated proppants to minimize proppant flowback during hydrocarbon production, whether the resin is precoated or coated on-the-fly as the treatment is pumped. Resin-fracturing fluid interaction can have a negative effect on fluid stability or resin consolidation, or both. This paper examines the effects of resin-fluid interactions on fluid stability, proppant consolidation strength, and strategies to mitigate the effects. Components of resins can change the fracturing fluid stability by interacting with crosslinker or breaker, or by changing the fluid pH. To offset the effect of a resin, the breaker/crosslinker/buffer concentration should be tuned while pumping resin-coated proppant. Similarly, resin-fluid interaction can decrease consolidation strength by disturbing resin-curing kinetics or reducing grain-to-grain contact, which can increase the possibility of proppant flowback during production. The influence of resins on fracturing fluid stability was evaluated by conducting rheology testing. The effect of fracturing fluids on the consolidation strength of resin was evaluated by comparing unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of proppant packs. The stability of zirconate and borate crosslinked guar fluids, when treated with coated on the fly liquid resin-coated proppant (LRCP), was lower than non-treated fluids at 260°F as a result of breaker activation by the resin components. The desired fluid stability was attained by lowering breaker concentration in liquid resin-treated fluid. During another round of testing, a second type of LRCP, based on different chemical functionality, increased the stability of synthetic polymer fluid at 400°F. Likewise, a rise in fluid stability was observed when guar fluid was treated with resin pre-coated proppant (RCP) at 200 and 250°F. The improved fluid stability is associated with reduction in active breaker concentration in the presence of furan resin and RCP. The UCS value of the proppant pack prepared from fracturing fluid-treated RCP was ~16 to 45% lower than the proppant pack without this fluid treatment. Additionally, the UCS value of proppant pack prepared using fracturing fluid-treated LRCP decreased by ~30%. However, the measured UCS value of LRCP pack with fracturing fluid exposure was higher than the RCP pack measured value even without exposure to this fluid. Incorporating LRCP instead of using RCP during fracturing operations could address the proppant flowback issue and possibly result in higher conductivity of propped fractures. It could help ensure economic production rates and prevent costs associated wellbore cleanup, downhole tool damage, erosion and damage to the tubular, chokes, valves and separators, and refracturing of the well. Ultimately, it could help maintain a lower cost per barrel of oil equivalent (BOE).
水力压裂通常使用树脂涂层支撑剂进行,以减少油气生产过程中支撑剂的返排,无论树脂是预涂层还是在泵送处理过程中进行涂层。树脂与压裂液的相互作用会对流体稳定性或树脂固结产生负面影响,或者两者兼而有之。本文研究了树脂-流体相互作用对流体稳定性、支撑剂固结强度的影响,以及减轻这种影响的策略。树脂成分可以通过与交联剂或破胶剂相互作用,或通过改变流体ph来改变压裂液的稳定性。为了抵消树脂的影响,在泵送树脂包覆支撑剂时,应调整破胶剂/交联剂/缓冲液的浓度。同样,树脂与流体的相互作用会干扰树脂固化动力学或减少颗粒与颗粒之间的接触,从而降低固结强度,从而增加生产过程中支撑剂返排的可能性。通过流变试验,评价了树脂对压裂液稳定性的影响。通过比较支撑剂充填的无侧限抗压强度(UCS),评估压裂液对树脂固结强度的影响。在260°F高温下,锆酸盐和硼酸盐交联瓜尔胶液在涂覆树脂包覆支撑剂(LRCP)后,由于树脂组分的破胶剂活化作用,其稳定性低于未处理的瓜尔胶液。通过降低树脂处理液中破碎剂的浓度,达到了理想的流体稳定性。在另一轮测试中,基于不同化学功能的第二种LRCP提高了合成聚合物流体在400°F下的稳定性。同样,在200°F和250°F的温度下,用树脂预涂覆支撑剂(RCP)处理瓜尔胶液时,流体稳定性也有所提高。改善的流体稳定性与呋喃树脂和RCP存在时活性破碎剂浓度的降低有关。经过压裂液处理的RCP支撑剂充填物的UCS值比未经过压裂液处理的支撑剂充填物低16% ~ 45%。此外,使用压裂液处理的LRCP制备的支撑剂充填物的UCS值降低了约30%。然而,即使没有压裂液的作用,LRCP充填的UCS测量值也高于RCP充填的测量值。在压裂作业中,使用LRCP代替RCP可以解决支撑剂返排问题,并可能提高支撑裂缝的导流能力。它可以帮助确保经济的产量,并避免与井筒清理、井下工具损坏、管、节流器、阀门和分离器的侵蚀和损坏以及井的重复压裂相关的成本。最终,它可以帮助维持较低的每桶油当量(BOE)成本。

水驱WF占阿曼石油开发公司石油产量和产量的40%。正确的WF管理是实现这一目标的关键。该项目旨在规范和简化WF绩效考核流程,这是WF管理的重要组成部分。世界基金绩效审查的现状因地而异,审查的频率不同,即一年一次,每季度一次,这导致错过了在适当的时候改善世界基金绩效的机会。不同的内部工具和数据库用于准备评审会议的技术材料。因此,不同的领域以不同的方式向整个公司的审阅者展示技术材料,因此没有可用的标准模式审阅模板,并且使用了多个数据源。现场石油工程师需要4个小时来准备一次模式审查的技术材料,通常需要高级或高技能的PE来生成不同类型的地块。当模式审查进行时,每个石油工程师在一次模式审查中花费了近4个小时。针对这个项目提出的对策是将审查频率替换为例外或需求基础,以确保没有错过机会。以及使用单一工具/源对WF模式审查的技术材料进行标准化。标准模板必须适合字段中的所有模式。在阿曼北部的一个水驱油田成功进行了30多个WF模式的试验,并证明了以下结果:在一个源数据平台内开发的标准审查模板。模式审查是在例外的基础上进行的,这是一种积极主动的方法。PE团队设法创造了额外的优化机会,从而使5个模式的石油产量增加了30立方米/天。PE在制作过程中节省3.5小时/张。审稿人赞赏技术材料质量的提高,这直接关注了根据例外情况确定的问题。所有的技术材料都很容易被经验不足的工程师制作出来。为了保持已取得的改进的可持续性,使用了一些精益工具。这些工具可归纳为以下几点:标准操作程序(SOP);生成了两个sop,一个用于设置工具,另一个用于进行评审。可视化管理(VM);还生成了跟踪模式审查并确保健康的WFM和。领导标准工作(LSW);它的完成是为了通过领导的支持来确保可持续性。

A New Approach to Simulate Low Salinity Water Flooding in Carbonate Reservoir 碳酸盐岩油藏低矿化度水驱模拟新方法

Low salinity water flooding (LSWF) as an enhanced oil recovery method (EOR) has attracted increased attention from oil companies due to its numerous benefits and advantages. It has been confirmed in several studies and laboratory experiments that LSWF has improved oil recovery. However, the underlying mechanism responsible for such an impact is still debatable. All previous studies focused on a geochemical process where fluid-fluid interaction has been overlooked. Recently, some studies have indicated that brine-crude oil (micro-dispersion) interactions play dominant roles in improved oil recovery in carbonate rocks. Nevertheless, at the moment, no commercial simulator can mimic this mechanism from the perspective of fluid interactions. In this work, we investigated whether micro-dispersion is applicable in commercial reservoir simulators through the history matching of two carbonate coreflood experiments. In this part of the investigation, three aspects will be addressed. (i) Develop a correlation of the link between the mechanism (micro-dispersion) in the lab and numerical simulation. (ii) Predict the low salinity relative permeability curves. (iii) History match the experimental data. This paper presents an integrated method of simulating low salinity water floods in carbonate rocks. Two different approaches have been applied to the history matching of unsteady state coreflood experiments. First, numerical simulation was performed to extract the high salinity relative permeability curves (KrHS) of the secondary mode for both experiments. Then, the findings from the first approach and the experimental results were used to develop a new approach for predicting the low salinity relative permeability (KrLS) curves. The new approach was not only used to predict KrLs curves through micro-dispersion but also used as input to history match the tertiary low salinity water floods. An excellent match was obtained using both the numerical simulation model and the new approach for the oil recovery and pressure drop profile, where two different relative permeability sets were generated in this study for each coreflood. The first observation promotes the premise that a history match of a coreflood can be obtained using different sets of relative permeability curves. In contrast, the Corey exponents, residual oil saturations and endpoints are essential parameters in the history matching of LSWF. The results obtained in this study will help to understand the modelling process involved during oil recovery by LSWF and introduce a new approach to model the effect of LSWF.
低矿化度水驱(LSWF)作为一种提高采收率(EOR)的方法,由于其众多的优点和优势,越来越受到石油公司的关注。一些研究和实验室实验已经证实,LSWF提高了原油采收率。然而,造成这种影响的潜在机制仍存在争议。以前所有的研究都集中在地球化学过程上,流体-流体相互作用被忽视了。近年来,一些研究表明,盐水-原油(微分散)相互作用在提高碳酸盐岩采收率中起主导作用。然而,目前还没有商业模拟器可以从流体相互作用的角度模拟这种机制。在这项工作中,我们通过两次碳酸盐岩岩心驱油实验的历史匹配,研究了微分散是否适用于商业油藏模拟器。在这一部分的调查中,将涉及三个方面。(i)将实验室的机制(微分散)与数值模拟之间的联系联系起来。预测低矿化度相对渗透率曲线。(iii)历史与实验数据吻合。提出了一种综合模拟碳酸盐岩低矿化度水驱的方法。两种不同的方法被应用于非稳态岩心驱油实验的历史拟合。首先,通过数值模拟提取两种实验的二次模式高盐度相对渗透率曲线(KrHS);然后,将第一种方法的发现与实验结果相结合,建立了预测低矿化度相对渗透率(KrLS)曲线的新方法。该方法不仅可以通过微分散预测KrLs曲线,还可以作为第三系低矿化度水驱历史拟合的输入。利用数值模拟模型和新方法对采收率和压降剖面进行了很好的拟合,在该研究中,每次岩心注水都生成了两个不同的相对渗透率集。第一次观测提出了一个前提,即可以使用不同的相对渗透率曲线集来获得岩心注水的历史匹配。相比之下,Corey指数、剩余油饱和度和端点是LSWF历史拟合的重要参数。本研究的结果将有助于理解LSWF采油过程中涉及的建模过程,并引入一种新的方法来模拟LSWF的影响。

The development of CO2 separation technologies will enable the monetization of undeveloped gas fields with a high level of CO2, thus providing commercial enterprises a superior competitive edge for future international field acquisitions. The cryogenic distillation system has been identified as one of bulk CO2 separation technologies for high CO2 removal from natural gas. It is a more favourable CO2 separation technology than chemical or physical absorption due to its independence from absorbents, which require a greater footprint, weight and energy. It is targeted for bulk CO2 removal from the natural gas stream 80% down to 20%, and it must be efficient and cost-effective to ensure that the overall economics of a development are positive. In-house process simulation software was used to model a cryogenic distillation column system, while an experimentally validated thermodynamic model was used to verify the phase behaviour of the components, potential CO2 solidification and hydrate formation at the operating pressure and temperature conditions. This modelling encompassed critical operating conditions such as high operating pressure and low operating temperature. This is crucial especially at lower temperature and blowdown condition to prevent piping and equipment blockage which might lead to catastrophic equipment failure. A pilot scale cryogenic distillation unit was studied in this paper with pre-mixed feed consists of CO2 and natural gas to investigate separation performance as well as to examine the operational aspects of the technology. Efforts should be made to reduce energy consumption for such applications. In this paper, pinch analysis tool is utilized to analyse and optimized the Heat Exchanger Network (HEN) of the Cryogenic Distillation System for bulk CO2 separation. Column operating pressure, condenser and reboiler temperatures and feed conditions were varied to examine the effect on energy consumptions and for comparison with process simulation results. It was found that condenser duty decreased by 50% while reboiler duty increased by 100% when operating pressure was increased from 35 bar to 50 bar to achieve the same product specification. Substantial energy reduction for external cooling was attained through pinch technology by taking advantage of the Joule-Thomson effect when expanding high pressure liquid CO2 stream to a lower pressure. Optimal operating conditions, the effect of impurities and alternative refrigeration systems are identified as current gaps in this study. Operational issues were identified and mitigated in this study, which will further the understanding and scaling-up of commercial plants, particularly blowdown study and CO2 solid and hydrate formations and potential mitigations.
二氧化碳分离技术的发展将使二氧化碳含量高的未开发气田货币化,从而为商业企业在未来的国际油田收购中提供优越的竞争优势。低温精馏系统已被确定为天然气中高浓度CO2的大块分离技术之一。它是一种比化学或物理吸收更有利的二氧化碳分离技术,因为它独立于吸收剂,需要更大的足迹,重量和能源。它的目标是将天然气流中的大量二氧化碳去除80%至20%,并且必须高效且具有成本效益,以确保开发的整体经济效益。使用内部过程模拟软件对低温精馏塔系统进行建模,同时使用实验验证的热力学模型来验证组件的相行为,潜在的CO2凝固和水合物形成在操作压力和温度条件下。该模型包含了高工作压力和低工作温度等关键操作条件。这是至关重要的,特别是在低温和排污条件下,以防止管道和设备堵塞,可能导致灾难性的设备故障。以天然气和二氧化碳为预混料,对中试低温精馏装置的分离性能进行了研究,并对该技术的操作方面进行了考察。应努力减少这类应用的能源消耗。本文利用夹点分析工具对低温精馏系统的热交换器网络(HEN)进行了分析和优化。研究了塔的操作压力、冷凝器和再沸器的温度以及进料条件对能耗的影响,并与过程模拟结果进行了比较。当操作压力从35bar提高到50bar时,达到相同的产品规格,冷凝器负荷降低50%,再沸器负荷增加100%。利用焦耳-汤姆逊效应(Joule-Thomson effect)将高压液态二氧化碳流扩展到较低压力时,掐点技术可大幅降低外部冷却的能耗。最佳操作条件,杂质的影响和替代制冷系统被确定为目前的差距在这项研究中。本研究确定并缓解了操作问题,这将进一步了解和扩大商业工厂的规模,特别是排污研究和二氧化碳固体和水合物形成以及潜在的缓解措施。

Nahr Umr reservoirs in Bahrain Field consist of three reservoirs (Cab, Cc and Cd) that vary from calcareous silt stones to sand stones. They are the second major producing zones in Bahrain Field and are overlain by Mauddud limestone reservoir separated by 8 - 10' shale. All these reservoirs have been on production since early thirties and Mauddud reservoir has been under gas injection since 1938. These reservoirs with diverse fluid contents and hydro-dynamically different systems communicate with each other through the extensive faulting. Based on a dynamic model, it shows significant amount of flux already had transfered from the Mauddud reservoir to Cab due to gravity drainage gas injection project in the faulted crestal part of the Mauddud reservoir. Furthermore, the high recovery in Nahr Umr Cab reservoir indicates of acting as drainage point from Mauddud supported by the differential pressure in some areas. For such mature reservoirs with a long production history, identifying by-passed oil, underperforming areas, areas under communication, locating infill wells and upgrading the reserves are challenging tasks. This paper describes the application of a practical process (1) Development of a systematic workflow for production optimization and reservoir analysis; (2) Identifying and highlighting reservoir trends, patterns and anomalies; (3) Locating the under performing wells/areas, and recommend solutions (4) Identifying essential patterns for consideration in overall development plan. The challenge was to evaluate large data sets in a short time and cost-effective manner. The technique uses a streamlined workflow of reservoir assessment processes, which require data gathering, formatting and validation through combining the data with several processes associated with both the static and the dynamic model of the reservoir. Quick interpretations of these models generate opportunity regions, re-completion candidates, and new infill potential in the reservoir. Based on the processes run in the Nahr Umr zones it was possible to understand the reservoir performance and main issues associated with field development. Utilizing these techniques, the recently completed development drilling program was suitably adopted to realize an efficient reservoir management process for developing the field with the objectives of decreasing decline rate and increasing the recovery.
巴林油田的Nahr Umr储层包括三个储层(Cab、Cc和Cd),从钙质粉砂岩到砂岩。它们是巴林油田的第二大产油区,上覆Mauddud灰岩储层,由8 - 10′页岩隔开。所有这些储层自30年代初以来一直在生产,Mauddud储层自1938年以来一直在注气。这些储层具有不同的流体含量和不同的水动力系统,通过广泛的断裂相互沟通。动态模型表明,由于在Mauddud储层断层顶部进行了重力抽采注气工程,已经从Mauddud储层向Cab输送了大量的通量。此外,Nahr Umr Cab储层的高采收率表明,在某些地区,它在压差的支持下充当了Mauddud的排水点。对于这些具有较长生产历史的成熟油藏来说,识别旁路油、欠发达区、连通区、定位填充井和提升储量是一项具有挑战性的任务。本文介绍了一个实际应用过程(1)开发了一个系统的生产优化和储层分析工作流程;(2)识别和突出储层趋势、模式和异常;(3)找出表现不佳的井/区域,并提出解决方案。(4)确定总体开发计划中考虑的基本模式。挑战在于如何在短时间内以具有成本效益的方式评估大型数据集。该技术使用了一个简化的油藏评估流程,该流程需要通过将数据与与油藏静态和动态模型相关的几个过程相结合来收集、格式化和验证数据。对这些模型的快速解释可以生成机会区域、重新完井候选区域以及储层中的新填充潜力。基于在Nahr Umr区域运行的过程,可以了解储层的动态以及与油田开发相关的主要问题。利用这些技术,适当地采用了最近完成的开发钻井方案,以实现有效的油藏管理过程,以开发油田,降低递减率,提高采收率。
