In petroleum engineering, the performance of drilling fluid is the key factor affecting the drilling success. Drilling fluid rheology can be measured by tube measurement. Fluid pulsation will cause measurement deviation of differential pressure and flow velocity data during measurement, and it accumulates when the flow curve is drawn. Finally, the accuracy of drilling fluid rheological pipe measurement is seriously affected. In view of the problem of fluid pulsation can seriously affect the accuracy of tube measurement. This paper proposed an algorithm based on Filtered-x least mean square (FxLMS). First, the active control strategy is studied, the mathematical model of electric regulating valve control is established, the FxLMS algorithm of variable step length is studied, the simulation model of the control system is established, and the control effect of different algorithms is compared. The dynamic experimental platform of fluid pulse active control for drilling fluid rheological pipe measurement is designed and built. The experimental data show that: after active control, the average relative error of drilling fluid shear force decreased by 179.6%, the average relative error of plastic viscosity decreased by 78.1%, and the average relative error of the apparent viscosity decreased by 25.5%. It proves that the active control algorithm can improve the accuracy of tube measurement more effectively.

This review addresses the diverse applications of multiphase flows, focusing on drilling, completions, and injection activities in the oil and gas industry. Identifying contemporary challenges and suggesting future research directions, it comprehensively reviews evolving applications in these multidisciplinary topics. In drilling, challenges such as gas kicks, cutting transport, and hole cleaning are explored. The application of immersion cooling technology in surface facilities for gas fields utilized in integrated bitcoin mining is also discussed. Nanotechnology, particularly the use of nanoparticles and nanofluids, shows promise in mitigating particulate flow issues and controlling macroscopic fluid behavior. Nanofluids find applications in drilling for formation strengthening and mitigating formation damage in completions as highlighted in this work, as well as in subsurface injection for enhanced oil recovery (EOR), waterflooding, reservoir mapping, and sequestration tracking. The review emphasizes the need for techno-economic analyses using multiphase flow models, particularly in scenarios involving fluid injection for energy storage. Addressing these multiphase flow challenges is crucial for the future of energy diversity and transition initiatives, offering benefits such as financial stability, resilience, sustainability, and reliable supply chains. In the first part of this review, we presented the application of multiphase (typical gas, liquid, solid) flow models and technology for drilling, completion, and injection operations. This second part of this review presents the applications of multiphase particulate (nanofluid) flow technology for drilling, completion, and injection operations. It aims to identify technology development needs related to multiphase flows, enhancing research endeavors for better cognition and mitigation of the identified issues. The use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), machine learning (ML), and system modeling for multiphase flow models is also discussed.

The chitosan oligosaccharide and vanillin are used as raw materials to synthesize non-toxic and water-soluble chitosan oligosaccharide derivative called vanillin chitosan oligosaccharide as a green corrosion inhibitor. The corrosion inhibition properties of 20# steel in CO2-saturated solution system at 25°C and 3.5 wt% NaCl were studied. The synergistic effect of potassium iodide (KI) and VCOS on corrosion inhibition was also studied. Various techniques such as weight loss (WL), electrochemical analysis, atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), quantum chemical calculations, and molecular dynamics simulations were used to understand the inhibition properties. The inhibition efficiency of VCOS enhanced remarkably after the addition of KI, reaching an optimum value of 93.1%. EIS results showed that the inhibition of VCOS + KI on metal surface increased with time. Polarization measurements showed that VCOS and KI acted as mixed inhibitors by demonstrating anode dominance. SEM and AFM were used to study the formation of inhibition film on metal surface after 3 days immersion. We concluded that the mixed inhibitor followed Langmuir adsorption isotherm. In addition, quantum chemistry and molecular dynamics simulations were used to verify the relationship between corrosion inhibition efficiency and molecular structure.

The upper Dalan and Kangan or Permian-Triassic carbonate formations in the central the Persian Gulf are considered as world's giant gas reservoirs. The primary purpose of this research is to model and evaluate the relationship between hydraulic flow units (HFUs), electrofacies and microfacies with systems tracts of Permian-Triassic sequences. By integrating the results of core data, petrographic studies, and petrophysical logs of the studied formations, hydraulic flow units and electrofacies were identified. Based on the results of petrographic studies, twelve microfacies were identified in terms of textural and depositional characteristics. Based on depositional setting, sedimentary facies and INPEFA values obtained from gamma ray log and gamma deviation log (GDL) in the context of sequence stratigraphy, zonation of Dalan and Kangan reservoirs is carried out. The zonation boundaries correspond to the key stratal surfaces (sequence boundary and maximum flooding surface). Seven petrographic rock types (PRT) were identified for the upper Dalan-Kangan reservoirs based on sedimentary texture, diagenetic process and dominant pores. Using porosity and permeability data from the core analysis, five hydraulic flow units were identified based on the flow zone indicator (FZI) method. Using multi-resolution graph-based clustering (MRGC) four electrofacies were detected from petrophysical data (gamma, neutron, density and acoustic logs). Subsequently, the INPEFA, GDL and electrofacies were spatially modeled using the sequential indicator simulation (SIS) and sequential Gaussian simulation (SGS) geostatistical methods. Finally, a clear agreement was revealed between the reservoir zones and the stratigraphic sequence framework. It this regard, the microfacies belonging to the high-energy and grain-dominated settings (packstone, grainstone) of leeward shoal, shoal and seaward shoal belts have the best reservoir units due to the influence of dissolution and dolomitization. The best reservoir units in the Permian-Triassic deposits in the middle of the upper Dalan and lower Kangan are developed in UDS4, upper KS2 and middle KS1 units. On the other hand, mud-dominated facies (mudstone, wackestone) and anhydrite textures are mostly associated with the low-energy lagoonal environments, between tidal flat and Sabkha. Non-reservoir units have been formed in the upper Dalan/Kangan and in the transgressive systems tract of UDS3-a, KS2-a and the lower and upper part of KS1 transgressive-highstand systems tract.

Carbonate gas reservoirs generally contain water, leading to uneven water invasion, explosive water flooding and other prominent phenomena, which is an important factor restricting the efficient development of gas reservoirs. The study of gas-water two-phase flow behavior in carbonate gas reservoirs is of great significance for understanding the formation mechanism of residual water and trapped gas and improving the recovery of gas reservoirs. In this study, microscopic visualization physical models of fractured-vuggy and fractured-porous types were established based on CT images. And then gas-water two-phase flow experiments were conducted using the models, visually presenting the characteristics of gas-water two-phase flow and the formation mechanism of residual water and trapped gas in such reservoirs. On the basis of experiments, numerical simulation of gas-water two-phase flow at pore scale under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions was conducted using the VOF method, and the effect of capillary number on gas-water two-phase flow was quantitatively evaluated. The experiment results indicate the types of residual water and trapped gas formed in the fractured-vuggy and fractured-porous reservoirs. Compared with fractured-vuggy reservoir, the type of residual water in fractured-porous reservoir doesn't include water masses in the vugs, but includes network shaped residual water, and the type of trapped gas also includes network shaped trapped gas. The numerical simulation results indicate the residual water in the fractured-porous reservoir decreases with the increase of capillary number during gas flooding process, while the distribution of residual water in the fractured-vuggy reservoir is influenced by the combination of fractures and vugs. The distribution of trapped gas in different types of reservoirs shows a trend of first decreasing and then increasing with the increase of capillary number during water flooding process. The results in this study can provide theoretical support for revealing the formation mechanism of residual water and trapped gas in carbonate gas reservoirs and improve gas recovery.
碳酸盐岩气藏普遍含水,导致水侵不均匀、爆炸性水驱等现象突出,是制约气藏高效开发的重要因素。研究碳酸盐岩气藏气水两相流动特征,对认识残余水和圈闭气形成机理,提高气藏采收率具有重要意义。本研究基于CT图像建立了缝洞型和缝孔型的微观可视化物理模型。利用该模型进行气水两相流实验,直观地展示了此类储层气水两相流特征及残余水和圈闭气形成机理。在实验基础上,采用VOF方法对高温高压条件下孔隙尺度下气水两相流动进行了数值模拟,定量评价了毛细管数对气水两相流动的影响。实验结果表明了缝洞型和缝孔型储层中残余水和圈闭气的形成类型。与缝洞型储层相比,缝洞型储层残余水类型不包括孔洞中的水团,而包括网状残余水,圈闭气类型也包括网状圈闭气。数值模拟结果表明,在气驱过程中,缝洞型储层中残余水随毛管数的增加而减少,而缝洞型储层中残余水的分布受缝洞联合作用的影响。水驱过程中,不同类型储层的圈闭气分布随毛管数的增加呈现先减小后增大的趋势。研究结果可为揭示碳酸盐岩气藏剩余水和圈闭气形成机理、提高采收率提供理论支持。

Numerical investigation of proppant transportation characteristics in hydraulically fractured wedge fractures

Hydraulic fracturing creates multiple induced fractures and micro-fractures, forming a complex fracture network in the reservoir. The study of the transport and distribution of the proppant within the fracture network is critical to the design and evaluation. However, existing simulation studies of proppant transport tend to be overly idealized and neglect the inhomogeneity of fracture widths that occur after fracturing. To address these issues, this study employs computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to study the transportation of fracturing fluid and proppant within a fracture network. The flow dynamics of solid-liquid two-phase flow in fractures are simulated using the Euler-Euler multiphase flow model. Considering the actual variables in field construction and the inherent inhomogeneity in realistic fracture structures, a three-dimensional model was established to capture the gradual variation in fracture width. The accuracy of this model was verified through a comparative analysis with physical experiments. On this basis, an investigation was conducted to explore the impact of particle size, particle density, particle volume concentration, and injection velocity on proppant transportation. The results demonstrate that, in contrast to conventional rectangular fractures, sandbanks formed from wedge fractures exhibit a lower height, which facilitates improved transportation into deeper fractures. Furthermore, particle concentration primarily influences distal fractures, with proppant particle size being second. The injection velocity has a significant impact on the height of the sandbank located in proximity to the fracture inlet. The research findings provide a deeper understanding of the transport and distribution of proppants within wedge fractures, thereby establishing a theoretical basis for the analysis and engineering guidance in on-site hydraulic fracturing construction.

Drilling motors are widely used in unconventional oil and gas exploration. Due to the increased non-productive time and drilling costs brought about by accidental damage to drilling motors, predictive maintenance for drilling motors is necessary to optimize asset utilization. However, service companies face significant challenges in achieving predictive maintenance: operational data acquisition, automated statistics analysis, and drilling state recognition. This paper presents a miniature vibration recorder, an automatic statistical analysis method, and a layered recognition algorithm to resolve these challenges and improve tool maintenance efficiency. The designed recorder can be installed in the catch of a conventional mud motor to record drilling dynamics over a drilling motor's entire operation cycle. Time-series data from the recorder can be used to automatically generate operation statistics, mitigating the costs incurred by manual data analysis. The layered recognition algorithm then enables the automatic identification of drilling operation states, i.e., surface, downhole non-drilling, downhole sliding, and downhole rotation. The solutions were validated by deploying the recorder in drilling field runs and analyzing recorded data using the associated design software, yielding a functional data collection, automatic data statistical analysis, and operation state recognition accuracy of 95%. Through achieving improved data collection and analysis, the recorder and software introduced in this work can notify motor owners of the detailed operation history of their tools and enable informed preventive maintenance.

Through achieving improved data collection and analysis, the recorder and software introduced in this work can notify motor owners of the detailed operation history of their tools and enable informed preventive maintenance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37433,"journal":{"name":"Petroleum","volume":"10 4","pages":"Pages 608-619"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141403793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wax deposition in oil and gas pipelines and equipment is a fundamental challenge that can lead to a decrease in the performance and useful life of these systems. To address this issue, various methods have been developed to reduce wax deposition. This article investigates two novel methods, namely microwave and ultrasonic, for wax deposition mitigation. The microwave method utilizes high-frequency electromagnetic waves and short wavelengths to transfer heat to the wax and separate it from the internal surface of the pipelines. In this method, microwave waves provide energy to the wax, increasing its temperature and causing it to melt and move. Due to its speed, efficiency, and applicability in industrial environments, the microwave method has been recognized as a leading approach in wax deposition reduction, requiring minimal modifications to the pipeline structure. The ultrasonic method employs high-frequency sound waves to disrupt and prevent wax deposition. Ultrasonic waves generate alternating pressure waves at the site of wax accumulation, breaking down the wax structure. This non-destructive and reliable method is capable of reducing wax deposition in hard-to-reach areas. Both microwave and ultrasonic methods have gained attention as innovative approaches for wax deposition reduction. However, further research is needed to optimize and enhance these methods, aiming to improve their implementation capabilities, increase efficiency, and reduce costs. The study also addressed conventional and common methods, such as insulators heat-proofing materials, heating techniques to prevent wax deposition, cold flow, wax inhibiting tools, wax removal techniques, chemicals, and bacterial treatment.

During the water injection process in oil fields, the original stress equilibrium of faults might be disrupted by the large influx of fluids into the reservoir, resulting in movements. Fault slip may lead to the leakage of underground oil and gas, in addition to impairing the integrity of wellbore and casing. To explicate the mechanism of fault slip caused by fluid injection, as well as quantify the fault slippage, A geomechanical finite element model on a reservoir scale is established. This model combines the information regarding the geological structural geometric characteristics and the mechanical properties of rocks at varying depths. Based on the TSL (traction-separation law), we utilize the cohesive contact method to depict the cohesive mechanical strength of the fault gouge and its damage evolution process. Consequently, we simulate and examine the reactivation and slip laws of the fault, which induced by the reduction of cohesive strength and frictional strength post water injection. The research results illustrate that the relatively stable state of the fault primarily relies on the cementation of fault gouge. As the volume of fluid invading the fault area increases, the shear cementation strength of fault gouge diminishes, resulting in the complete activation of the fault. Afterwards, the fault starts slipping. The continued slip post-reactivation of the fault is influenced by the frictional strength of the fault plane. As the friction coefficient of the fault plane drops, the average slip distance of the fault rises. This investigation offers important insights into the impact of fluid injection on fault behavior and can guide the design of injection operations in oil fields.

In recent years, the risk assessment of well control equipment has faced some problems, such as shallow defect detection depth, large identification error of corrosion defect type, inaccurate equipment corrosion assessment, and so on. To solve the above problems, a corrosion defect classification and identification model based on an improved K nearest neighbor algorithm (KNN) is established for the well control pipeline in well control equipment. Firstly, the pulsed magnetic flux leakage (PMFL) sensor is used to detect the pipeline defects, and then the collected data are denoised. Then, the corrosion type identification model of well control pipeline based on K-means++ and KNN is established. Finally, the corrosion risk of well control pipeline is evaluated according to the type of corrosion output from the identification model. The experimental results show that the improved algorithm has high accuracy in identifying the corrosion type of well control pipeline, and the calculation speed is better than other algorithms described in this paper.
