Abstract

The old oil and gas wells of approximately 70% are found to have no economic value in Indonesia, leading to being abandoned during the end of their lifecycle, as ruled by the government. This is part of decommissioning an entire field with an environmental preservation program, known as an Abandonment and Site Restoration (ASR). The program involves the evaluation of international permanent abandonment standards, as references for the designs, comparisons, and assessments of Indonesia’s policies. It also provides contrast gap analysis and suggestions in ensuring a proper permanent plug and abandonment approach, to avoid any future leaks or re-abandonment operations. Therefore, this study aims to determine and evaluate the gap analysis between Indonesia and International Well Abandonment Standards, as well as OGUK and NORSOK D-010. The results showed that abandonment activities had improvement opportunities philosophy, and practice, used for plugging/isolations, control lines, as well as reservoir and annular barriers. In addition, literature studies were performed to understand the abandonment philosophy for all reviewed standards, to provide proper suggestions or improvements.

Abstract

The solar PV systems are semiconductor devices that precisely convert sunlight into electricity, through the transfer of electrons. They provide several advantages, such as high modularity, zero noise, and adequate availability of solar resources in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to determine the potency, policy perspective, and Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) of the solar energy implementation for electricity generation. A statistical analysis was used for measuring potency, as well as reviewing opportunistic policies and barriers. A review of some CBA-based journals was also carried out, to determine that the development of solar power electricity had more benefit than fossil fuels and LCOE (Levelized Cost Of Electricity). The results of the 10-days average value calculation in 2019 were 388-563 W/m2, with the maximum values at 1137-1604 W/m2. Meanwhile the analysis of the maximum hourly averages for Western, Central, and Eastern Indonesia were 570-719, 634-758, and 559-627 W/m2 at 11.00-12.00 WIB, 11.00-13.00 WITA, and 12.00-13.00 WIT, respectively. The potency of solar radiation intensity in Indonesia was averagely 150-750 W/m2, as the highest values were found in East Nusa Tenggara, Maluku, and Merauke.

Abstract

Hydrocarbon production in Indonesia is continuously decreasing on a yearly basis, which is in contrast with its increasing level of consumption. Low-quality and low-resistivity reservoir zones are deemed to possess a lot of hydrocarbon potentials, however, little priority has been placed on their development due to their small level of production. The "RI" field that was utilized in this study is a mature offshore field with a reservoir which has a low-quality and low-resistivity zone. This area has been in use for more than thirty years, therefore its rate of oil production has declined. This study aims to review the techno-economic aspects of well stimulation in the form of hydraulic fracturing. And also, to determine the development method that is suitable for low-quality fields. The hydraulic fracturing process was modelled using Fracpro software as input parameters for the reservoir production simulations. The reservoir behavior was simulated using the CMG software to observe the amount of hydrocarbon liable for production in various development scenarios. Three cases were performed on the "RI" field, which was stimulated for ten years of operation. The first case was the instance with the natural flow, while the second implemented hydraulic fracturing at the beginning of production, and the third was the implementation of hydraulic fracturing, which started in the middle of the production period. Then, the three cases are evaluated utilizing a Gross Split scheme, to calculate the economics of the project both from the government and contractor's aspects. The simulation study concluded that fracturing at the beginning of the LRLC zone development is the most profitable. The novelty of this study is the comparison of scenarios for the implementation of hydraulic fracturing methods in fields with low-resistivity and low-quality zone whose economic value is evaluated by the Gross Split scheme.

Abstract

In the gas well, liquid loading occurs when the gas rate is insufficient to lift liquids into the surface such as water and/or condensate. This causes an accumulation of the liquid in the wellbore, supplies additional backpressure to the formation, and may completely kill the well. Meanwhile, the limited space and typically high cost of offshore operations have made a proper study for optimization selection very essential. The selected project must fulfill several requirements, namely: 1) Fit for the purpose, 2) Low risk and uncertainties, and 3) Economic. Hence, this study will describe the pilot project and continuous improvement process of lowering the gas well pressure using a wellhead compressor and a temporary separator to optimize the liquid loading. It also explains the implementation of critical gas rate in predicting the liquid loading event from the well’s production history. A new analysis method utilizing the adequacy chart was proposed to verify the suitability of the available pressure-lowering system unit available in the market with the well candidates. An adequacy chart was constructed from the well’s deliverability, critical gas rate, and lowering pressure unit or system capacity. These three charts will combine to generate an overlapping area, which signifies suitability for the recommended operation. The well’s production data history can be used to predict the liquid loaded-up event due to the continued decline of the generated gas. Also, a combination of the critical gas rate and decline analyses can predict potential liquid loading problems.

Abstract

Drillstrings often vibrate severely and tend to twist off during hard rock drilling. Therefore, dynamic testing is crucial in the design of drilling systems. Designers tend to employ the most powerful analytical tools, using the most elaborate electronic computers, however, actual testing is required to the designed system function optimally. In cases of enormous drilling systems, complex dynamic tests are often performed on a smaller-scale replica of the system, referred to as the model, which is more convenient, cost-effective, and time-effective. This study, therefore, describes the establishment of similar conditions among structural systems, with the main objective of studying the similitude theory’s applicability in establishing the necessary similar conditions for designing scaled-down models to predict the drillstring’s vibration behavior. The scaling laws for all the relevant parameters regarding the scaled drillstring model, as well as the full-size drillstring system, were derived from the respective equations of motion. The scaling factors for all relevant parameters are determined using the theory of dimensional analysis. In addition, the geometry distorted similitude theory is revisited and employed to overcome the physical limitation and develop the necessary similar conditions for dynamic testing of the scaled drillstring. Meanwhile, the similitude relationship between the prototype and the model was validated with a case study using lumped segments bond graph modeling and simulation software.
