Abstract

The occurrence of corrosion and scale on production equipment is an obstacle that often occurs in oil and gas exploration activities. Physical and chemical properties of formation water that come out with oil from production wells are the main variables causing corrosion and scale. In recent years, developing nanotechnology provides many benefits in various industrial activities. One product that is becoming widely known is Copper Nano Particles (CuNPs) which have anti-biotic, anti-microbial, and anti-fungal agents which are soluble in water and can be used to protect / coat metals (superficial conductive coatings of metal and non-ferrous metal). The use of nanoparticles in oil and gas exploration activities is still very limited. Specifically, the CuNPs material, its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties have never been researched on the possible use in the oil field. In this study, it was observed the influence of the presence of CuNPs in formation water on the potential for scale formation and corrosion. Formation water obtained from production wells in the Wonocolo region, Cepu, Central Java, is used as a sample to test the effect of CuNPs on the scale and corrosion trends. Observations have shown that the CuNPs content test at various concentrations did not have a significant effect on formation water for its tendency to form scales. While the corrosivity of water seems to be quite influenced by the presence of CuNPs, where the addition of nanoparticle material is optimal at 0.01 ppm which can reduce corrosion rates up to 95%.

Abstract

One of the zeolite producing areas in Indonesia is Sukabumi. Natural zeolite originating from Sukabumi is composed of three main types of minerals: mordenite, clinoptilolite, and quartz. Zeolite as a catalyst can be improved by carrying out physical and chemical activation processes. Physically the catalyst can be activated by reducing the size of the zeolite through the grinding and sieving method. This physical activation process can increase the surface area of the zeolite. In this study, variations in the size of zeolite 80 mesh and 100 mesh were carried out that chemically activated by the acid activation method through immersion of natural zeolite with HCl and HF from this acid activation process it will increase the acidity of the zeolite. Measurement of functional groups and chemical compounds in activated zeolite using XRF and FTIR. The results of XRF analysis showed that the SiO2 content in 80 mesh zeolite was 69.5% and in 100 mesh zeolite was 82.1% and the FTIR analysis showed the presence of the C-H alkene functional group at a wavelength of 675-995 cm-1, ring C-H aromatic at a wavelength of 690-900 cm-1, C-O alcohol/ether/carboxylic acid/ester at wavelength 1610-1680 cm-1, functional group C=C alkene 1610-1680 cm-1, the O-H functional group is carboxylic acid at a wavelength of 3500-3650 cm-1 and an alcohol monomer/phenol O-H functional group at a wavelength of 3590-3650 cm-1.
