Abstract

Water content in natural gas poses threat to process facilities such as column distillation. Natural gas from reservoirs usually contains water vapor, the presence of water vapor in gas processing causes bad impact to process facilities. Dry Gas composition data was taken from Salamander Energy. Optimization of natural gas dehydration using Tri Ethylene Glycol was carried out using Aspen HYSYS V8.6 with Peng-Robinson fluid package. The natural gas dehydrating plant was designed with operating conditions of 394 bar and 460C and 10 MMSCFD and 6.8 MMSCFD gas flow rate were inputted. Results obtained from HYSYS simulation shows. Three different TEG flowrates were used for this simulation. Results obtained from simulation that . For the purpose of running the plant economically, the minimum flow rate of TEG which will reduce the water content to within the limit of pipeline specification, is very important and the result obtained showed that a minimum of 3 m3/h of TEG is required to reduce the water content of a gas stream of 10MMSCFD to 6.8lb/MMSCFD, which is within the limit of 6-7lb/MMSCFD, this value when compare to gas plant which uses 15m3/h for the gas stream of 10MMSCFD to achieve the same water content specification is far lower. Values below this flow rate (3.5m3/h) may not reduce the water content to the specified limit.

Abstract

Characterizing heptanes plus fraction in PVT analysis has been a complex problem since its first inception. In this publication, the author is reviewing available mathematical functions employed for this task, whilst pointing out advantages and weaknesses for each of them and proposing a new method that is capable of complex characterization. This publication addresses a new method that is capable of accurately characterize heptane plus fraction especially in discontinued areas where errors could leap up to 40%. The author modifies natural logarithmic function to be used as an accommodation to discontinuities. The modified distribution provides better accuracy in modeling the discontinuities as a straight-line function, making them ideal for real gas condensate composition characterization. The new method is tested against several test data used by previous researchers, and applied to 3 sets of field data. The results have shown that this new method is capable of lowering CPU requirement whilst making better accuracy for all test data.

Abstract

Water injection is a conventional method which increases the recovery by providing pressure support and displacing oil in the heterogeneous porous medium. Mobility ratio is important for a more efficient oil displacement by the injected fluid. Mobility ratio can be reduced using the fluids involving gelling agents. While polymers degrade and break up on experiencing sudden shear stresses and high temperatures, polymer macromolecules are forced to flow into narrow channels and pores where molecular scission processes can take place. It is importance to have a strong understanding of the use of the right type and amount of viscosity as a reduction agent. For polymer injection, a comparison of xanthan polymer and synthetic polymer mechanisms was conducted. A commercial full-physics reservoir simulator was coupled with a robust optimization and uncertainty tool to run the model, where a simplified gel kinetics was assumed to form a microgel with no redox catalyst. Control and uncertainty variables were set to investigate the sensitivity of this process using the coupled optimization and uncertainty tool. Results demonstrate deep penetration of gel and blocking of the high permeability bottom layers. Sensitivity studies indicate the relative merits of biopolymer, xanthan polymer in terms of viscosity effects vs synthetic PAM in terms of resistance factor vs in-situ gelation treatments and their crossflow dependence. Adsorption and retention of polymer and gel are permeability dependent. Considering the potential for application of gel solutions in the U.S. and throughout the world, this study illustrates the relative advantages of different treatments in terms of viscosity reduction in the same model in a comparative way, while outlining the significance of each control and uncertainty variable for better management of reservoirs where displacement efficiency is highly critical.

Abstract

Designing a slurry with adequate strength resistance is a major objective in oil and gas completion job. Various studies and research confirms that Compressive Strength (CS) and Shear Bond Strength (SBS) are two parameter which is imperative in describing cement strength in well cementing job. This experimental study introduces a Rice Husk Ash (RHA), an alternative cement additive derived from organic waste. RHA rich in silicon oxide (SiO2) and has a pozzolanic reaction, which is correlated in enhancing cement strength. Serial cement samples with various concentration of RHA were prepared to investigate the effect of RHA concentration to CS and SBS. All samples were then Dried for 24 hours in room condition after completing mixing and molding process. A Biaxial Loading test was then performed to all samples to determine the CS and SBS values by using hydraulic press apparatus. Results from the loading test generally indicate an enhancement of CS and SBS for samples with 31%, 32%, 33%, and 34% RHA. An indication of higher CS and SBS is not found for sample with 35% RHA, comparing with 34% RHA. Thus, 34% RHA is the optimum concentration for theses study, which yield 1312. psi of CS and 158.16 psi of SBS. Through this study, there is an opportunity for transforming waste material into alternative additive with higher economic value.

Abstract

Field SS is a Heavy Oil field which means high viscosity oil making it difficult to flow. Therefore, artificial lift was used in this field to help lifting the high viscosity fluid, i.e. sucker rod pump (SRP). In the last several years, problem of the damage to the rod string was frequently occur. Rod string damage is usually indicated by the occurrence of broken or detached components. In order to overcome the damage of rod string components on the sucker rod pump, several parameters that causes rod string damage in 41 well samples in the field SS were analyzed and then recommendations were made as an alternative to minimize the occurrence of rod string damage. After analyzing the parameters that can cause rod string damage on 41 well samples in SS field, the cause of the breakdown of rod string is fluid pounding for 37 samples well, while the causes for 4 samples of other wells is not detected. After that, recommendation efforts is done, like size down pump speed and stroke length for 9 samples of wells, size down pump size and pump speed for 6 samples of wells and size down pump speed for 22 samples well. As for the undetected cause 4 samples of wells, is recommended to do proactive well service.
