Abstract

The greater demand for crude oil, the increased difficulty of discovering new reservoirs, and the desire to reduce dependence on imports have emphasized the need for enhanced recovery methods capable of economically producing the crude remaining in known reservoirs. Oil recovery from oil reservoirs may be improved by designing the composition and salinity of water injection. The process is sometimes referred to as sea or smart water injection. In this paper, a Gaberoun Water Leak Injection (GWLI) have been discovered and investigated as a new Libyan chemical EOR in laboratories on relative permeability, wettability, oil recovery, breakthrough, and fractional flow for carbonate and sandstone reservoirs. GWLI has several advantages which are relatively cheap, reliable, and available. GWLI potentially would have a wide range of applications in water injection such as wettability alteration. The equipment and the operating procedures were designed to simulate the reservoir condition. The experimental results indicate that, that the GWLI has caused the increasing of oil recovery in sandstone and carbonate core. The impact of GWLI on oil recovery in sandstone core samples was higher than carbonate core samples. The effect of acidity (pH) of GWLI on oil recovery in sandstone and carbonate core samples was higher when the pH is 5 than when the acidity is 10. Hopefully, the research findings can possibly be useful for references and for operating companies as an important source for understanding and visualizing the effects of pH, permeability, porosity, and wettability on oil recovery in reservoir rock using GWLI.

Abstract

Motor operating temperature at wells equipped with Electric Submersible Pump (ESP) need to be monitored to maintain ESP performance run life. Not all producer wells equipped with temperature sensor, so it considered necessary to build mathematic model to estimate motor operating temperature. Model of heat transfer to predict motor operating temperature is developed based on empirical equation method. Parameter and variable data obtained from producer wells include water cut, viscosity, specific gravity, operating temperature, ampere and voltage. Procedure to calculate viscosity is ASTM D-88 and procedure to calculate specific gravity is ASTM D-5002. From 18 wells data obtained from the field, calculated reynolds numbers indicate turbulent flow regime with reynold numbers more than 4,000. Nusselt number were calculated using multiple linear regression with result of Nu = 0.06 * Re0.65 * Pr0.36 with error of 1.3% from downhole sensor measurement. The comparison with similar research also provided that use different Nusselt number empirical equation. The conclusion from the research showing that empirical approach by using specific constants to predict Nusselt number can be used to predict more accurate heat transfer coefficient with error 1.3%. Higher water cut fluid flow need lower fluid velocity to achieve motor operating temperature below motor limit temperature with fluid velocity above 0.3 m/s.

Abstract

According to Talla et al,2017 the Linde Hampson Method can be used to process solid changes into liquid. In this study aims to calculate the Linde Hampson method in the temperature range of the Fischer Tropsch method (LTFT /Low temperature fischer tropsch). The temperatures used for comparison include low temperatures of 200 to 250 oC. Parameters compared from the four type of coal namely lignite, antrachitre, bituminous and subbituminous are tested with projects on a moderate scale of 100 – 1000 tons. Analysis of Price risk is carried out to see the trend of change (increase/decrease) in the price of selling syngas. Price can change because of supply and demand. The main factor that can change price is quantity and quality of heat (HHV) and composition. Development of subbituminous can have higher risk than the antrachite type. Based on the calculation of the standard deviation of the risk values obtained from the four types is 25,3$.

Abstract

Gas Lift is currently held as one of the most prominent method in artificial lift, proudly operated flawlessly in hundreds of oil wells in Indonesia. However, gas lift optimization is still governed by the exhaustive Gas Lift Performance Curves (GLPC). This practice, albeit as established as it should be, does require repetitive calculations to be able to perform in life of well operations. Therefore, a new approach is introduced based on the mechanistic modeling. This research highlights the application of fundamental mechanistic modeling and its derivative, the Flow Pattern Map (FPM) for quick estimation of optimum injection gas rate, accompanied by a novel correction factor to account changing tubing sizes. It is hoped that this approach can be beneficial in developing a multitude of gas lift wells with changing tubing sizes.

Abstract

This paper presents a review of electrical heating for the recovery of heavy oil which the work adopts methods used in the past and the prospects for crude oil recovery in the future. Heavy oil is one of the crude oils with API more than 22 which has the potential to overcome the current light oil crisis. However, high viscosity and density are challenges in heavy oil recovery. The method is often used to overcome these challenges by using thermal injection methods, but this method results in economic and environmental issues. The electrical heating method could be a solution to replace conventional thermal methods in which the methodology of electrical heating is to transfer heat into the reservoir due to increasing oil mobility. Because the temperature rises, it could help to reduce oil viscosity, then heavy oil will flow easily. The applications of electrical heating have been adopted in this paper where the prospects of electrical heating are carried out to be useful as guidelines of electrical heating. The challenge of electrical heating is the excessive heat will damage the formation that must be addressed in the prospect of electrical heating which must meet energy efficiency. The use of Artificial intelligence becomes a new technology to overcome problems that are often found in conventional thermal methods where this method could avoid steam breakthrough and excessive heat. Therefore, it becomes more efficient and could reduce costs.
