The control and maintenance of rheological properties is the key technical problem that needs to be solved for high density drilling fluid. The influence of particle size distribution on the rheology of high density drilling fluid is analyzed. In order to identify the best particle size distribution of barite and iron ore, the influence of distribution modulus on the rheology of high density drilling fluid weighted by barite and iron ore is investigated based on the Aflred distribution equation. The experimental results show that weighting materials particle distribution has great effect on rheological properties of high density drilling fluid. When the barite particle distribution modulus n=0.4 and iron ore powder particle distribution modulus n=0.6, the rheology of high density drilling fluid is best, while the low settlement density difference and low HTHP filtrate loss is maintained.

The value and contribution of natural gas in both domestic and economic terrains are extensive. However, its contaminant limits direct application and hence must be treated. Water vapour existing in equilibrium with dry gas is the principal among contaminants. Most corrosion both with acid gases and carbonate salts are traceable to the presence of water. Also the formation of solid icy structures called hydrates constitutes a threat to flow assurance. Removal of water by TEG dehydration trains is not uncommon. Dehydration inefficiencies such as high water content of the outlet gas and glycol losses could impair operations and considerably reduce profit. Inefficiency in GDU was identified to be due to design factors and operational conditions/scenarios. In the case studied, laboratory analysis of TEG was combined with process simulation results to resolve inconsistencies in design and operational phases. Recommendations for further improvements were also presented.

When drilling for hydrocarbon, one most important thing to recognise is the bottom hole cleaning. Poor well hydraulics will lead to poor bottom hole cleaning. Several suggestions have been made in years back to prevent cuttings from falling to the lower side of the borehole thereby forming cutting bed. One of the main functions of drilling fluids is suspending the drill cuttings when the flow is static. But having met this criterion, cutting beds are still formed. The settling down of drill cutting makes this function of drilling fluid almost impossible. The formation of cutting bed due to the inability of the drilling fluid to establish this function brings about the objective of this research work. The main objective is to optimize hole cleaning using low viscosity drilling fluid and also to evaluate the effect of high flow rate on low viscous drilling fluid with respect to hole cleaning. This was carried out by a laboratory formulation of synthetic drilling fluid and the viscosity of this formulated fluid was varied from low to high. Tests for its rheological properties were carried out using Fann viscometer and the data obtained were recorded. The plastic viscosity and yield point were calculated from existing equations. The values for their rheological properties were tested using an existing hole cleaning model to determine the time taken for each of the drilling fluid to erode a 5 inches cutting bed. The fluid with an excellent hole cleaning value was also determined (CCI > or =1) and at optimum flow rate obtained for an 8-inches open hole section. When the values of their rheological properties were tested in the hole cleaning models, it was observed that, low viscosity fluids can erodes a 5 inches cutting bed height faster than the other drilling fluids and achieved an excellent hole cleaning value at an optimum flow rate when tested with the second model.
在钻探碳氢化合物时,最重要的一点是要认识到井底的清洁。较差的水力学会导致井底清洗效果较差。多年来,人们提出了一些建议,以防止岩屑落到井眼的下部,从而形成切割床。钻井液的主要作用之一是在静止流动时悬浮钻屑。但即使满足了这一标准,切割床仍然形成。钻屑的沉淀使钻井液的这种作用几乎无法发挥。由于钻井液无法建立这一功能而形成切削床,这就产生了本研究工作的目的。主要目的是优化使用低粘度钻井液的井眼清洁效果,同时评估高流量对低粘度钻井液的井眼清洁效果。这是通过合成钻井液的实验室配方进行的,该配方流体的粘度从低到高不等。用范氏粘度计对其流变特性进行了测试,并记录了所得数据。塑性黏度和屈服点由现有方程计算。使用现有的井眼清洗模型测试了它们的流变性能值,以确定每种钻井液侵蚀5英寸切削床所需的时间。还确定了具有优异井眼清洁值的流体(CCI > or =1),并在8英寸裸眼段获得了最佳流量。在井眼清洗模型中测试了它们的流变性能值,发现低粘度钻井液对5英寸切割床高度的侵蚀速度比其他钻井液快,在第二种模型中测试时,在最佳流量下获得了优异的井眼清洗值。

In recent years, numerous laboratory studies have documented the benefits of smart waterflooding as an emerging enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process, along with a few successful field applications, notably clastic reservoirs. In most cases, there are undeniable inconsistencies between lab and field results. This process has led to unpredictable outcomes and misleading prediction of smart waterflooding projects. Hence, this work is conducted to evaluate uncertainties in smart waterflooding from laboratory to field-scale. An one-dimensional (1-D) reactive transport model was developed and validated with flooding experiments. Validation shows that combinations of various matching parameters can be used to interpret the experiment. Different realizations lead to different results when extended to 3-D heterogeneous model. The sensitivity of parameters like grid size and heterogeneity in full-field model majorly influences smart waterflooding performance, which is responsible for the inconsistencies. Therefore, these parameters should be considered in field-scale simulation to fully demonstrate the potential of smart waterflooding.

Taking Dongying Formation, Palaeogene, B Oilfield in Bohai Bay Basin as an example, this paper discusses research on coupling 3D geological model and reservoir numerical simulation results during oilfield development. 3D geological modeling technology and reservoir numerical simulation plays important roles in oilfield development nowadays. 3D geological modeling integrates the static information and data from cores, logs and seismic to approach the reality of reservoir as much as possible. Numerical simulation based on geological models, provides a way to use dynamic data by history matching production. Thus, static data from the subsurface reservoir and dynamic data from production are synthesized with the combination of 3D geological modeling and numerical simulation. At present, except upscaling, which connected these two steps, modeling and simulation are usually discussed and operated separately. This paper tried to find an approach to realize the couple of 3D geological modeling and reservoir numerical simulation, which admits the uncertainty of the geological model and emphases the use of simulation result to adjust geological model. 3D geological modeling provides reservoir numerical simulation with initial reservoir static parameter. With the initial geological knowledge, history matching is conducted to quantitatively describe the flowing rule of oil-water. During the process of matching production history, the changes of reservoir parameters may put insight on corresponding geological knowledge. Based on these updated geological knowledge, these possible changes are coupled to the new geological model. 3D geological model of B oilfield was studied as an example in this paper,how to sufficiently integrate numerical simulation results was researched to improve geological knowledge on the connectivity relationship between well groups, then the 3D geological model was updated.

Over the last two decades, the worldwide demand for energy has been met with substantial increase in the oil supply which causes fall in oil price. However, the price of gas has been stabled despite increased demand for gas as a major source of energy. The production from gigantic conventional reservoirs has also reduced which has led to the dependence on current reserves to meet the demand. This increase in demand for gas has led to the increase in activities of research and development with an objective to explore and exploit unconventional resources as an economic and effective cost. Hydraulic fracturing has been proven to be one of the most viable means used to exploit the unconventional resources (tight gas and shale gas formations). Thus, evaluating the performance of the well post-fracturing is necessary to determine the economic viability of the recovery. Inaccurate evaluation of the post-fracturing can lead to either overestimation or underestimation of the design performance particularly from transversely fractured horizontal well. This work includes convergence skin effect that occurs at every intersection of fractures and horizontal section of the well which can account for wide variation of the post treatment in the field from the simulation model. The variation in the skin is a function of fracture conductivity and the number of transverse fractures. This work has developed a hydraulic fracture optimization model which shows the optimal design point, that is, the optimal number of transverse fractures estimated from the economic analysis and gives optimal production rate. This optimal number of transverse fractures estimated from this work is cost effective. This model can lead to an increase in accuracy of optimum design.

Based on the study of the various flow patterns of the oilfield production system, the oilfield production system is divided into five relatively independent subsystems by node analysis. The nodes are the connection points of two adjacent sub systems, the dynamic parameters of flow and pressure are passed. According to the principle of balanced offtake, the energy loss in each subsystem is determined, and the theoretical model of the energy management of the ground pipe network of the production system was established. An example of energy consumption analysis in Daqing Xinghelian area, the integral optimization method is presented. The results show that the energy consumption of the production system in the region can be well represented by the established energy consumption model.
