In the whole lifecycle of reservoir development, periodic intervention in wells is the daily work of reservoir management, which is essential to production maintenance and workover activity. The identification of actionable plan at well-by-well level is time consuming and inefficient, especially for reservoirs with a considerable amount of wells. Over-reliance on engineer experience also increase uncertainties over reliable plan. The workflow for candidate screening provides a systematic and efficient approach to dealing with this issue. Prior to commencing the process, reservoir static model and dynamic model were updated to meet recent reservoir performance. The first step was to identify potential wells in two ways, including the typical diagram indicating the relationship between production performance and reservoir properties, and the modified heterogeneity index method introduced by Del Castillo et al. After completing candidate recognition, diagnostic analysis was conducted to determine root causes through dynamic analysis of injection/production performance at well/pattern level. Finally, comprehensive evaluation and forecast for workover activities were carried out in terms of technical and economic aspects, which will facilitate appropriate decision making. This workflow has successfully been applied to a giant heterogeneous carbonate reservoir with gas cap. The identified candidates can be categorized into four types. The whole/partial gas cusping wells with a sharp/gradual increasing trend in gas-oil ratio (GOR) are influenced by gas cap. The gas channeling wells with uneven sweep efficiency are attributed to the injected gas overriding in heterogeneous reservoir. The water cusping wells with medium water cut are influenced by bottom aquifer. Accordingly, an integrated optimization plan is proposed to mitigate the outlined risks. The recompletion strategy with Autonomous Inflow Control Device (AICD) and sliding sleeves is recommended for gas/water cusping wells, and results are phenomenal in terms of segmented isolation of high GOR/water cut intervals and delaying gas/water breakthrough. The converting from gas injection to tapered water-alternating-gas (TWAG) through increasing the ratio of water-to-gas in a step wise process has been implemented for gas channeling wells, and an improved conformance is observed. The TWAG project appears to be promising because of high gas/water utilization efficiency and reduced gas cost. This methodological approach provides a generic workflow for conducting an integrated analysis of workover candidates screening and plan making. Reservoir performance will be monitored and maintained in order to ensure efficient reservoir management practice.
在油藏开发的整个生命周期中,定期修井是油藏管理的日常工作,对生产维护和修井活动至关重要。在每口井的层面上确定可行的计划既耗时又低效,特别是对于井数相当多的油藏而言。对工程师经验的过度依赖也增加了可靠计划的不确定性。筛选候选人的工作流程为处理这一问题提供了一种系统而有效的方法。在开始之前,需要更新油藏静态模型和动态模型,以满足油藏的最新动态。第一步是通过两种方法识别潜在井,包括生产动态与储层物性关系的典型图,以及Del Castillo等人引入的改进的非均质性指数方法。在完成候选识别后,进行诊断分析,通过动态分析井/网层的注入/生产性能来确定根本原因。最后,从技术和经济两个方面对修井作业进行综合评价和预测,为合理决策提供依据。该工作流程已成功应用于具有气顶的大型非均质碳酸盐岩储层。已确定的候选储层可分为四种类型。整体/局部气顶井的气油比(GOR)呈陡增/渐增趋势,受气顶的影响,波及效率不均匀的气窜井归因于非均质储层的注气上覆。中等含水的水顶井受底部含水层的影响。据此,提出了一种综合优化方案来降低概述的风险。自动流入控制装置(AICD)和滑套的再完井策略被推荐用于气/水尖顶井,在分段隔离高GOR/含水层段和延迟气/水突破方面效果显著。在气窜井中,通过逐步提高水气比,实现了从注气到锥形水-气交替(TWAG)的转变,并观察到一致性的改善。由于高气/水利用效率和降低天然气成本,TWAG项目看起来很有前景。该方法为进行修井备选方案筛选和计划制定的综合分析提供了通用的工作流程。为了确保有效的油藏管理实践,将监测和维护油藏的动态。

Measuring HSE performance is vital when dealing with the implementation and execution of multiple Drilling Contractor HSE programs to ensure expectations are achieved throughout each rig contract life cycle. The HSE rig ranking program works as an HSE measuring tool by effectively consolidating eleven (11) leading and lagging key performance indicators (KPIs). KPI's such as total recordable incident injury rate (TRI-IR) and the Lost time Incident Injury rate (LTI-IR) as well as incident potential and inspection performance and compliance are all amalgamated into an all-inclusive scoring system with unprecedented results. Measuring, monitoring and benchmarking the health, safety and environmental performance of drilling contractors and their contracted rig fleet through this structured and comprehensive rig ranking program has organically spawned not only growth in behavioral based safety but also promoted a more robust HSE culture. The rig ranking methodology applied has facilitated greater contractor HSE oversight, resulting in not only healthy contractor competition but also substantial HSE performance improvements among the various drilling contractors and their respective rig fleets due to reductions in injuries, near misses as well as the severity of incident occurrences and improved adherence to established HSE requirements. Combining both lagging and leading indicators into a single Rig HSE performance score requires the efficient exploitation of both current and historical data and the HSE trends of each individual contracted rig and accurately weighting the impact of each of the 11 leading and lagging KPIs to arrive at a single representative score for each rig on contract. Each drilling contractors’ fleet of rigs is scored and benchmarked monthly and shared discreetly to contractor management team in an effort to provide a better understanding of their fleets HSE performance among their competitors and within their organizations. This rig ranking methodology identifies both high and low performance rigs, resulting in targeted intervention of low performance rigs and allowing for best practices of high-performance rigs to be cascaded downward to the lower echelons of the rig ranking scale. HSE practitioners engaged in site visits are equipped with a greater understanding of a rigs specific HSE improvement needs. As a result, the HSE rig ranking system facilitates a tailored site specific HSE message as opposed to broad, general safety improvement engagement. Since the inception and deployment of the HSE rig ranking program in 2018 a 240% increase in rigs performing in the Excellent range was achieved by October 2021 and behavioral based safety reporting increased over 255%. Recognition is also a key component of the rig ranking process and is incorporated communicate the achievements demonstrated and improvements made as well as sustained performance.

在处理多个钻井承包商HSE项目的实施和执行时,衡量HSE绩效至关重要,以确保在每个钻机合同的整个生命周期内达到预期。HSE钻机排名计划通过有效整合11个领先和滞后的关键绩效指标(kpi),作为HSE衡量工具。KPI,如总可记录事故伤害率(TRI-IR)和损失时间事故伤害率(LTI-IR),以及事故可能性和检查绩效和合规性都合并到一个全面的评分系统中,取得了前所未有的成果。通过这种结构化和全面的钻机排名计划,对钻井承包商及其签约钻机队的健康、安全和环境绩效进行测量、监测和基准测试,不仅有机地促进了基于行为的安全,而且促进了更强大的HSE文化。钻井平台排名方法的应用有助于加强承包商的HSE监督,不仅促进了承包商之间的良性竞争,而且由于减少了伤害、险些事故以及事故发生的严重程度,提高了对既定HSE要求的遵守程度,各钻井承包商和各自的钻井机队之间的HSE绩效也得到了大幅改善。将滞后指标和领先指标合并为单个钻机的HSE绩效评分,需要有效利用当前和历史数据以及每个签约钻机的HSE趋势,并准确加权11个领先指标和滞后指标中的每一个指标的影响,从而得出每个签约钻机的单一代表性评分。每个钻井承包商的钻机车队每月都要进行评分和基准测试,并与承包商管理团队秘密分享,以便更好地了解他们的车队在竞争对手和组织内部的HSE表现。这种钻机排名方法可以识别高性能和低性能钻机,从而对低性能钻机进行有针对性的干预,并允许高性能钻机的最佳实践向下梯级到钻机排名的较低梯级。参与现场考察的HSE从业人员对钻井平台的具体HSE改进需求有了更深入的了解。因此,HSE钻井平台排名系统有助于定制特定于现场的HSE信息,而不是广泛的、通用的安全改进参与。自2018年HSE钻机排名计划启动和部署以来,到2021年10月,优秀范围内的钻机数量增加了240%,基于行为的安全报告增加了255%以上。认可也是钻井平台排名过程的关键组成部分,它与所取得的成就、取得的改进以及持续的表现进行了沟通。HSE钻机排名计划有助于减少事故,提高作业安全性,是监控承包商钻井HSE绩效的推荐方法。

Anti-Agglomerants: Study of Hydrate Structural, Gas Composition, Hydrate Amount, and Water Cut Effect 抗团聚剂:水合物结构、气体组成、水合物量和含水效果的研究

Kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) and anti-agglomerants (AAs) – known as low dosage hydrate inhibitors (LDHIs) – have been used widely for gas hydrate prevention in oil and gas operations. They offer significant advantages over thermodynamic inhibitors (e.g., methanol and glycols). While significant works have been done on KHIs evaluation, AAs suffer from their evaluation in terms of hydrate structural effect, gas composition, water cut, and hydrate amount, which are the main objectives of this work. A Shut-in-Restart procedure was carried out to experimentally evaluate (using a visual rocking cell) various commercial AAs in different gas compositions (from a simple methane system to multicomponent natural gas systems). The kinetics of hydrate growth rate and the amount of hydrate formation in the presence of AAs were also analysed using the recorded pressure-temperature data. The amount of hydrate formation (WCH: percentage of water converted to hydrate) was also calculated by pressure drop and establishing the pressure-temperature hydrate flash. The experimental results from the step heating equilibrium point measurement suggest the formation of multiple hydrate structures or phases in order of thermodynamic stability rather than the formation of simple structure II hydrate in the multicomponent natural gas system. The initial findings of experimental studies show that the performance of AAs is not identical for different gas compositions. This is potentially due to the hydrate structural effect on AAs performance. For example, while a commercially available AA (as tested here) could not prevent hydrate agglomeration/blockage in the methane system (plugging occurred after 2% hydrate formed in the system), it showed a much better performance in the natural gas systems. In addition, while hydrate plugging was not observed in the visual rocking cell in the rich natural gas system with AA (at a high subcooling temperature of ∼15°C), some hydrate agglomeration and hydrate plugging were observed for the lean natural gas system at the same subcooling temperature. It is speculated that methane hydrate structure I is potentially the main reason for hydrate plugging and failure of AAs. Finally, the results indicate that water cut%, gas composition, and AAs concentration have a significant effect on hydrate growth rate and hydrate plugging. In addition to increasing confidence in AAs field use, findings potentially have novel applications with respect to hydrate structural effect on plugging and hydrate plug calculation. A robust pressure-temperature hydrate flash calculation is required to calculate the percent of water converted to hydrate during hydrate growth in the presence of AAs.
动力学水合物抑制剂(KHIs)和抗团聚剂(AAs)被称为低剂量水合物抑制剂(LDHIs),已广泛用于石油和天然气作业中的天然气水合物预防。与热力学抑制剂(如甲醇和乙二醇)相比,它们具有显著的优势。虽然在KHIs评价方面已经做了大量的工作,但在水合物结构效应、气体成分、含水率和水合物含量方面的评价是AAs的主要目标。为了实验评估不同气体成分(从简单的甲烷系统到多组分天然气系统)中的各种商用原子吸收剂,进行了关井重新启动程序(使用视觉摇摆单元)。利用记录的压力-温度数据,分析了在原子吸收剂存在下水合物生长速率和水合物生成量的动力学。通过压降计算水合物生成量(WCH:水转化为水合物的百分比),建立压力-温度水合物闪蒸。步进加热平衡点测量的实验结果表明,在多组分天然气体系中,形成的水合物不是简单结构的II型水合物,而是按热力学稳定性的顺序形成的多种水合物结构或相。初步的实验研究结果表明,不同气体成分的原子吸收光谱的性能不尽相同。这可能是由于水合物结构对AAs性能的影响。例如,虽然市售的AA(如本文所测试的)不能防止甲烷体系中的水合物聚集/堵塞(体系中形成2%的水合物后发生堵塞),但它在天然气体系中表现出更好的性能。此外,在含AA的富天然气体系(高过冷温度为~ 15℃)中,视觉摇摆池中未观察到水合物堵塞现象,而在相同过冷温度下,贫天然气体系中出现了水合物结块和水合物堵塞现象。推测甲烷水合物结构I可能是导致AAs水合物堵塞失效的主要原因。结果表明,含水百分比、气相组成和AAs浓度对水合物生长速率和水合物堵塞有显著影响。除了增加对AAs现场应用的信心外,研究结果还可能在水合物结构对堵塞和水合物堵塞计算的影响方面具有新的应用前景。为了计算在AAs存在下水合物生长过程中转化为水合物的水的百分比,需要一个强大的压力-温度水合物闪变计算。

In the Tarim Basin, the wellbore blockage problem of HTHP oil wells was very severe, especially in Fuman, Donghe 1 and Yudong 7 oil fields. The total number of blocked Wells is 95, Over 24% oil wells have organic solid phase plugging problem. More than 64% of the Wells in Donghe 1 oilfield were blocked, resulting in difficulties in testing, wellbore blockage and surface pipeline burst, affecting annual production of 8,500 tons. In this paper, a fast analysis method of blockage was established, and an organic solid phase deposition test device was innovated. The law of solid phase blocking under different reservoir conditions, development modes and crude oil properties was systematically analyzed. The dynamic prediction model of organic solid phase blocking was established to realize the visualization prediction of blocking position, and the unblocking measures technology of organic solid phase blocking was formed to comprehensively solve the organic solid phase blocking problem in oil Wells. It was shown that the blockages in the Fuman carbonate reservoirs were dominated by wax-asphalt organic compound and sand burial, and t he gas injection development in Donghe 1 Oilfield is dominated by asphalt deposition, while that in Yudong 7 Oilfield is dominated by asphalt and wax plugging. Gas injection extraction, crude oil composition change, pressure drop and sand production are the main factors of solid phase blockage, and organic solid phase blockage exists in "wellbore + reservoir near the wellbore "; The dynamic prediction model of composite plug deposition is established to realize the "visualization"of plug location and degree, and the prediction accuracy is ≥ 80 %. The efficient unblocking agent have been developed based on the understanding of the blockage composition, to achieve high-efficiency dissolution of the blockage (the dissolving rate 90%) and the effective inhibition (85.84%). Based on the understanding of the blockage law, 4 sets of unblocking processes had been developed with "plugging degree" and "whether there was a squeeze channel" as the main considerations, For the first time, the "system blockage unblocking "design method based on the composite plugging mode of "wellbore + reservoir near the wellbore " is proposed, which realizes the efficient plugging removal. The field application of 477 wells improves the success rate of reproduction from 53 % to 100 %, and effectively reduces the risk of plugging. This successful experience could provide guidance for blockage treatment in other oil fields with asphalt deposition and organic solid plugging such as wax.
塔里木盆地高温高压油井井筒堵塞问题十分严重,特别是富满、东河1、于东7油田。被堵井总数为95口,有有机固相堵塞的油井超过24%。东河1油田有64%以上的井被堵,造成测试困难、井眼堵塞、地面管线爆裂,影响年产量8500吨。本文建立了阻塞的快速分析方法,并对有机固相沉积测试装置进行了创新。系统分析了不同储层条件、开发方式和原油物性条件下的固相堵塞规律。建立了有机固相堵塞动态预测模型,实现了堵塞位置的可视化预测,形成了有机固相堵塞解堵措施技术,全面解决了油井有机固相堵塞问题。结果表明:阜满碳酸盐岩储集层以蜡沥青有机化合物和砂埋为主,东河1油田注气开发以沥青沉积为主,于东7油田注气开发以沥青和蜡封堵为主。注气采出、原油成分变化、压降和出砂是造成固相堵塞的主要因素,有机固相堵塞存在于“井筒+近井筒储层”;建立了复合塞体沉积动态预测模型,实现了塞体位置和程度的“可视化”,预测精度≥80%。在了解堵剂组成的基础上,研制出高效解堵剂,实现了堵剂的高效溶出(溶出率90%)和有效缓阻(85.84%)。在了解堵塞规律的基础上,以“堵塞程度”和“是否存在挤压通道”为主要考虑因素,开发了4套解堵流程,首次提出了基于“井筒+近井油藏”复合封堵模式的“系统解堵”设计方法,实现了高效的解堵。477口井的现场应用,将再生产成功率从53%提高到100%,有效降低了堵井风险。这一成功经验可为其他油田沥青沉积和蜡等有机固体堵塞的封堵提供指导。

Application of New Technologies and Best Operational Practices to Accelerate the Learning Curve in Wells Drilled in the Ayatsil Field, Mexico 新技术和最佳作业实践的应用加速了墨西哥Ayatsil油田钻井的学习曲线

Today drilling wells is one of the biggest capital expenditures and is employed starting from exploration, delineation, initial wells for production, and fresh production incorporation when existing wells production have declined. The estimated cost for drilling new wells in Ayatsil field is around 20 to 25 MM $, which requires a high level of decision to achieve production goals without exceeding the budget assigned to the Ayatsil field. Therefore, to make the right decision requires an integration of multidisciplinary group of specialists (geologists, geomechanics, reservoir engineers, production engineers and drilling engineers) from well design to execution phases. This paper will illustrate the methodology and process applied by the operator to optimize the drilling stages and accelerate field production, as a result the operator developed the operational excellence project, that consist of five phases and being executed by a multidisciplinary project team. The drilling team has been successful in reducing the depth versus days curves from an average of 130 days in 2017 to an average of less than 58 days in 2022. The best performance achieved till now in terms of total meterage is 4,200 meters drilled in 51 days from the surface. The continuous improvement of the Ayatsil project has resulted in world class drilling performance. The success factors include standardized well design, performance improvement processes that was made possible by the multidisciplinary well decision team like, flat times efficiency. In addition, the outcome of this approach has resulted that 30 to 33 million dollars have been saved from the original budget in reduction of well costs and impulse the productivity of Ayatsil field.
如今,钻井是最大的资本支出之一,从勘探、圈定、初始生产井开始,到现有井产量下降时的新生产。在Ayatsil油田钻新井的估计成本约为2000万至2500万美元,这需要高水平的决策,以实现生产目标,同时不超出Ayatsil油田的预算。因此,要做出正确的决定,需要从井设计到执行阶段的多学科专家(地质学家、地质力学、油藏工程师、生产工程师和钻井工程师)的整合。本文将说明作业者为优化钻井阶段和加速油田生产所采用的方法和过程,从而开发出卓越的运营项目,该项目由五个阶段组成,由一个多学科项目团队执行。钻井团队已经成功地将深度与天数曲线从2017年的平均130天减少到2022年的平均不到58天。迄今为止取得的最佳成绩是在51天内从地面钻了4200米。Ayatsil项目的不断改进已经产生了世界级的钻井性能。成功的因素包括标准化的井设计,多学科的井决策团队使性能改进过程成为可能,如平次效率。此外,该方法的结果是,在降低油井成本和提高Ayatsil油田生产力方面,从最初的预算中节省了3000万至3300万美元。

The Fuling shale gas field in China is one of the largest shale gas fields outside of North America. After a long period of production, some gas wells showed significant production decline and an effective refracturing treatment is designed to rejuvenate production. This Casing-in-Casing (CiC) refracturing method with customized design was successfully implemented with production increase beyond expectation. It was the first successful trial of a CiC refracturing treatment on a horizontal shale gas well in China. Bullheading (BH) refracturing with diverting balls was attempted in this field in past years, with high initial production observed. However, the production was inconsistent and declined quickly. The operator investigated and decided to attempt a CiC refracturing method in an under-stimulated candidate well. The CiC refracturing method is to cement a 3.5-in. liner in the legacy 5.5-in. casing to isolate the perforations, and new plugging and perforating (P-n-P) operations can be performed in the reconstructed wellbore. A refracturing design was customized integrating the production profile, residual recoverable reserves, and the specific 5.5- × 3.5-in. reconstructed wellbore limitation. During the BH refracturing, the treating pressure gradually increased with the drops of diverting balls, but the proppant placement became more and more difficult accordingly. The BH refracturing was finally completed with five cycles which was less than the design. High initial production after the BH treatment was observed but it declined quickly. In the CiC refracturing, a new 5.5-in × 3.5-in wellbore was constructed successfully, and it passed pressure test for stage frac. New clusters were added between the original clusters and stimulated with more intensive fracturing treatment in the new wellbore. Dissolvable particulate diverting agent was used for even cluster initiation and fracture geometry. The pressure response of the diverting agent was obvious indicating good diversion result and new reservoir contact. The initial production recovery rate was 88.1% compared to that of the original fracturing and the production increased 819% compared to the production before the CiC refracturing, which was much higher than BH refracturing. This case study illustrates that the CiC refracturing method is an effective method for refracturing. It overcomes the uncertainty and difficulty of proppant placement, achieves a higher intensity of fracturing treatment, and enables stimulation of the previously bypassed reservoir to improve the recovery of the well. The method has provided the industry with a new and reliable option to rejuvenate the aging wells.
中国涪陵页岩气田是北美以外最大的页岩气田之一。经过长时间的生产,一些气井出现了明显的产量下降,因此设计了有效的重复压裂处理来恢复生产。这种定制设计的套中重复压裂方法成功实施,产量超出预期。这是中国首次在页岩气井上成功进行CiC重复压裂试验。在过去的几年里,该油田一直在尝试用转流球进行井顶重复压裂,并取得了很高的初始产量。然而,产量不稳定,并迅速下降。作业者进行了研究,并决定在一口未充分压裂的候选井中尝试使用CiC重复压裂方法。CiC重复压裂方法是固井3.5-in。5.5英寸的尾管。套管可以隔离射孔,新的封堵和射孔(P-n-P)作业可以在重建的井眼中进行。综合生产剖面、剩余可采储量和特定的5.5 × 3.5-in井眼,定制了重复压裂设计。重建井筒限制。在深部重复压裂过程中,随着转向球的滴入,处理压力逐渐增大,支撑剂的投放难度也随之加大。最终完成了BH重复压裂,比设计周期少了5次。经BH处理后的初始产量较高,但产量迅速下降。在CiC重复压裂中,成功构建了5.5英寸× 3.5英寸的新井眼,并通过了分段压裂压力测试。在原有簇之间增加了新的簇,并在新井中进行了更密集的压裂处理。可溶颗粒导流剂用于均匀簇起裂和裂缝几何形状。导流剂的压力响应明显,表明导流效果良好,形成了新的储层接触。与原压裂相比,初始采收率为88.1%,与CiC重复压裂前相比,产量提高了819%,远高于深部重复压裂。实例研究表明,CiC重复压裂是一种有效的重复压裂方法。它克服了支撑剂放置的不确定性和困难,实现了更高强度的压裂处理,并能够对先前绕过的储层进行增产,以提高油井的采收率。该方法为行业提供了一种新的可靠的方法来恢复老化井的活力。

The well-being of employees is catching momentum among various demanding industries across the world, underlying the importance of introducing and maintaining effective happiness initiatives to foster successful employees ’engagement with their line management to work better together and build loyalty to the workplace. This paper, therefore, aims to detail the strategic benefits of happiness initiatives along with the expected business benefits on long-term basis. A happy employee is defined as a productive and loyal employee. When an employee is happy, they tend to display greater engagement with their job. Similarly, studies have shown that when an individual feels "heard" and that their voice matters, their levels of morale are higher. Moreover, when equipped with the right tools to cope with a stressful environment, a worker's level of productivity and the quality of their work improves. The data collected at the end of each initiative is an important reference and resource for companies with a high number of employees across various specialties. This paper will provide the background of the importance of happiness initiatives, as well as making the first steps towards cultivating a culture of happiness in the more traditional industries, especially including the oil, gas and energy industry. The concept of a happiness initiative, especially in relation to international best practices, is currently not widely applied in traditional industries with evidence on the lack of a true sense of happy and productive engagement across different employees ’levels and contractors. Elevating happiness across organizations is, therefore, essential, as indicated by the fact that good mental health and well-being are core needs for any business to succeed in the post-COVID-19 era. Happiness at work is a relative, attainable concept that can be fostered and sustained in a more professional context, where organizations can play a vital and critical role in the research, establishment, and advancement of workplace happiness policies and frameworks on strategic basis that will positively result in tangible and non-tangible business benefits. This paper will outline mechanisms, best practices and the role of "Chief Happiness Officers" in leading tailor-made happiness initiatives to address organizational-specific needs and emerging issues.
员工的幸福感在世界各地的各种高要求行业中都得到了发展,这表明引入和维护有效的幸福计划的重要性,以促进成功的员工与他们的直线管理人员的参与,从而更好地合作,并建立对工作场所的忠诚度。因此,本文旨在详细介绍幸福举措的战略效益以及长期的预期商业效益。一个快乐的员工被定义为一个富有成效和忠诚的员工。当员工快乐时,他们往往会更投入工作。同样,研究表明,当一个人感到“被倾听”,并且他们的声音很重要时,他们的士气会更高。此外,当配备了正确的工具来应对压力环境时,工人的生产力水平和工作质量都会提高。在每个计划结束时收集的数据对于拥有大量不同专业员工的公司来说是一个重要的参考和资源。本文将提供幸福倡议的重要性背景,以及在更传统的行业,特别是包括石油、天然气和能源行业,朝着培养幸福文化迈出的第一步。幸福倡议的概念,特别是与国际最佳实践相关的概念,目前并未广泛应用于传统行业,有证据表明,不同级别的员工和承包商缺乏真正意义上的幸福和富有成效的参与。因此,提高整个组织的幸福感至关重要,良好的心理健康和福祉是任何企业在后covid -19时代取得成功的核心需求。工作中的幸福是一个相对的、可实现的概念,可以在更专业的环境中培养和维持,在这种环境中,组织可以在研究、建立和推进工作场所幸福政策和框架的战略基础上发挥至关重要的作用,这将积极地产生有形和无形的商业利益。本文将概述机制、最佳实践和“首席幸福官”在领导量身定制的幸福计划以解决组织特定需求和新出现的问题方面的作用。

To prolong the field life of The Suphanburi oil field, an additional enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process is required. Dynamic reservoir modeling will need to be performed to maximize the EOR strategy. However, achieving the right result is a challenge as the field has a complex depositional environment and high heterogeneity, resulting in a high uncertainty of the dynamic reservoir model. A new reservoir model is proposed and created. The new model has been purposely built to capture the heterogeneity of the field by incorporating the newly interpreted geological concept of the field, together with quantitative seismic interpretation results. First, the new geological concept is interpreted from well data into "depofacies". The depofacies describe both depositional environment and lithofacies. Next, quantitative seismic interpretation is performed to capture the spatial variation of the reservoir and the predefined facies. Lastly, the reservoir model is built by first generating the depofacies. The reservoir or sandstone is then modeled specifically into each pre-modeled depofacies. As a result, the new reservoir model can better capture reservoir heterogeneity, resulting in a better EOR strategy.
为了延长Suphanburi油田的油田寿命,需要额外的提高石油采收率(EOR)工艺。为了最大限度地提高EOR策略,需要进行动态油藏建模。然而,由于该油田的沉积环境复杂,非均质性高,导致动态储层模型的不确定性很大,因此获得正确的结果是一项挑战。提出并建立了新的储层模型。新模型旨在通过结合新解释的油田地质概念以及定量地震解释结果来捕捉油田的非均质性。首先,将新的地质概念从井资料解释为“沉积相”。沉积相既描述了沉积环境,又描述了岩相。接下来,进行定量地震解释,以捕捉储层的空间变化和预定义的相。最后,通过生成沉积相,建立储层模型。然后将储层或砂岩具体建模到每个预建模的沉积相中。因此,新的储层模型可以更好地捕捉储层的非均质性,从而制定更好的提高采收率策略。

Extended-Reach Horizontal Well with Excellent Inflow Control Device Completion Production and Sand-Free Gravel-Packing Integrated Solution Performance: A Case Study from S-Field, Offshore Malaysia 具有出色的流入控制装置完井生产和无砂砾石充填综合解决方案的大位移水平井:来自马来西亚海上s油田的案例研究

In Q4 2017, the first extended-reach horizontal oil producer was completed in S-Field, with the horizontal section designed with nine isolation compartments with swellable packers. Each compartment was configured with an inflow control device (ICD) and an integral sleeve (on/off function) attached to the ICD’s joint. This paper discusses the effectiveness of the ICD technology in terms of sustaining incremental cumulative oil production by delaying water-breakthrough and subsequently reducing undesired water cut after water-breakthrough. An extensive post-job evaluation on production performance was conducted to evaluate the performance of the installed ICDs. The workflow was divided into three stages: history matching, forecasting, and post-job ICD evaluation. During history matching, the horizontal well with the ICDs was modeled using a high-resolution numerical simulator, and the reservoir model was calibrated with production data from a well test. Actual production rates and the water-breakthrough time were matched by revisiting key subsurface uncertainties from the sector model, such as aquifer strength, oil/water-contact, and relative permeability using the Corey correlation. The history-matched model was then used for the forecasting stage to predict cumulative production on a longer-term basis. Lastly, the performance of the ICDs was quantified after 4 years of production by comparing the oil increment from the ICD completion to the non-ICD case as baseline that would have been a miss of additional oil cumulative. Over the past 4 years, this horizontal well produced more than expected, with approximately 2–4 times more oil production than the estimated rate provided in the field development plan (FDP), whereby the lower completion is design optimally based on real-time ICD modeling updates. There were few uncertainties in the subsurface parameters such as fluid contact, fluid characterization, and the nature of an aquifer, were incorporated in the history-matching stage using sensitivity analysis and uncertainty range estimation. On the basis of actual and history-matched production performance, the well with the installed ICDs is projected to produce more than the non-ICD OH case with an improved cumulative oil production gain of as much as 6% and an 8% water reduction over 12 years of production. In addition, the ICD enables downhole influx balancing to delay the water breakthrough by 4 months compared to the OH case. The reduction or delay of water production is beneficial to the field to enhance oil recovery from the well. This case study demonstrates a successful ICD deployment under uncertainties, where during a real-time study in 2017, similar uncertainties were incorporated in high-resolution ICD modeling conditioned with real-time petrophysical data from logging while drilling (LWD) measurements. The use of ICD technology in this well demonstrated that zonal control efficiency could be achieved across the horizontal section
2017年第四季度,S-Field的第一个大位移水平井采油装置完成,水平段设计了9个带可膨胀封隔器的隔离室。每个隔室都配置了一个流入控制装置(ICD)和一个连接在ICD接头上的整体滑套(开关功能)。本文讨论了ICD技术的有效性,即通过延迟水侵时间来维持累积产油量的增加,并在水侵后降低不期望的含水率。作业后进行了广泛的生产性能评估,以评估安装的icd的性能。工作流程分为三个阶段:历史匹配、预测和作业后ICD评估。在历史匹配过程中,使用高分辨率数值模拟器对具有icd的水平井进行建模,并根据试井的生产数据对储层模型进行校准。通过使用Corey相关性,重新分析部门模型中的关键地下不确定性,如含水层强度、油水接触和相对渗透率,从而匹配实际产量和破水时间。然后在预测阶段使用历史匹配模型来预测长期累积产量。最后,通过比较ICD完井与非ICD完井的产油量增量,在生产4年后对ICD的性能进行量化。在过去的4年里,这口水平井的产量超过了预期,产量大约是油田开发计划(FDP)中估计产量的2-4倍,根据实时ICD建模更新,下部完井是最优设计的。通过灵敏度分析和不确定性范围估计,在历史匹配阶段纳入了流体接触、流体表征和含水层性质等地下参数的不确定性。根据实际和历史生产表现,安装了icd的油井预计产量高于未安装icd的油井,在12年的生产过程中,累计产油量提高了6%,用水量减少了8%。此外,ICD能够实现井下流入平衡,与OH相比,可以将水侵延迟4个月。减少或延迟产水有利于油田提高采收率。该案例研究展示了在不确定条件下ICD的成功部署,在2017年的实时研究中,类似的不确定因素被纳入了以随钻测井(LWD)测量的实时岩石物理数据为条件的高分辨率ICD建模中。在这口井中使用ICD技术表明,可以在水平段实现层控效率,并随着时间的推移提高产油量。icd的设计是为了防止早期水侵,通过井测试和人工流体采样来证明,只有在生产4年后才会出现水侵,并且到目前为止没有出砂。

There were few uncertainties in the subsurface parameters such as fluid contact, fluid characterization, and the nature of an aquifer, were incorporated in the history-matching stage using sensitivity analysis and uncertainty range estimation. On the basis of actual and history-matched production performance, the well with the installed ICDs is projected to produce more than the non-ICD OH case with an improved cumulative oil production gain of as much as 6% and an 8% water reduction over 12 years of production. In addition, the ICD enables downhole influx balancing to delay the water breakthrough by 4 months compared to the OH case. The reduction or delay of water production is beneficial to the field to enhance oil recovery from the well. This case study demonstrates a successful ICD deployment under uncertainties, where during a real-time study in 2017, similar uncertainties were incorporated in high-resolution ICD modeling conditioned with real-time petrophysical data from logging while drilling (LWD) measurements.\u0000 The use of ICD technology in this well demonstrated that zonal control efficiency could be achieved across the horizontal section ","PeriodicalId":283978,"journal":{"name":"Day 1 Wed, March 01, 2023","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122432649","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}

Methanogenesis is the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) to methane (CH4) using microbes. In the context CO2 utilization, methanogenesis process in the utilizing native microbes from a particular reservoir can be a very slow process without any external intervention. To accelerate the conversion rate and methane yield, this study investigates the use of agriculture by-product such as palm oil mill effluent (POME) as substrates as well as potential microbial isolates that can produce biohydrogen at high temperatures. This paper covers the three laboratory assessments of microbes from anaerobic sludge from a local palm oil mill, use of POME to augment the microbial growth, and physicochemical manipulation to identify key parameters that increases CH4 yield and rate: i) biohydrogen production ii) biomethane production, and iii) syntrophic reactions. All experiments are conducted at 70°C which is considered a hyperthermophilic condition for many microbes. Biohydrogen production achieved with highest H2 production of 66.00 (mL/Lmedium). For biomethane production, the highest production rate achieved was 0.0768 CH4 µmol/mL/day which 10,000X higher than 19.6 pmol/mL/day used as a benchmark. Syntrophic reaction with both types of hydrogen-producing and methanogen in the same reactor, and pure H2 and CO2 supplemented externally was able to achieve the highest methane production of 10.095 µmol/mL and 2.524 µmol/ml/day. Methane production rate is 2.5 times faster than without external gasses being introduced. Introduction of external CO2 to the syntrophic reaction is to mimic actual carbon injection and storage in the reservoir. Our paper shows that stimulation of microbes using POME as substrates and H2/CO2 supplementation are important in accelerating the rate of methane production and yield. Future work will focus on optimizing the gas ratio, pH of growth media, and performing syntrophic reaction in porous media to emulate conditions of a reservoir.
甲烷生成是利用微生物将二氧化碳(CO2)转化为甲烷(CH4)。在二氧化碳利用的背景下,利用来自特定储层的原生微生物的产甲烷过程可能是一个非常缓慢的过程,没有任何外部干预。为了加快转化率和甲烷产量,本研究研究了利用农业副产品,如棕榈油厂废水(POME)作为底物,以及可以在高温下产生生物氢的潜在微生物分离物。本文涵盖了对当地棕榈油厂厌氧污泥微生物的三个实验室评估,使用POME来增加微生物生长,以及物理化学操作来确定增加CH4产量和速率的关键参数:i)生物氢气生产ii)生物甲烷生产iii)合成反应。所有实验都在70°C下进行,对于许多微生物来说,70°C被认为是超嗜热的条件。产氢量最高达到66.00 (mL/Lmedium)。对于生物甲烷的生产,最高产量为0.0768 CH4µmol/mL/day,比作为基准的19.6 pmol/mL/day高出10,000倍。两种产氢菌和产甲烷菌在同一反应器中进行共养反应,外加纯H2和纯CO2,产甲烷量最高,分别为10.095µmol/mL和2.524µmol/mL /d。甲烷的产率比没有引入外部气体时快2.5倍。在共生反应中引入外部CO2是为了模拟实际的碳注入和储层中的储存。我们的研究表明,以POME为底物的微生物刺激和H2/CO2补充对于加快甲烷的生产和产量是重要的。未来的工作将集中在优化气体比、生长介质的pH值,以及在多孔介质中进行协同反应来模拟储层的条件。
