Abstract

Steam injection can be success in increasing oil recovery by determining the steam chamber growth. It will impact on the steam distribution and steam performance in covering hot areas in the reservoir. An injection plan and a proper cyclic steam stimulation (CSS) schedule are critical in predicting how steam chamber can grow and cover the heat area. A reservoir simulation model will be used to understand how CSS really impact in steam chamber generation and affect the oil recovery. This paper generates numerous scenarios to see how steam working in heavy oil system particularly in unconsolidated sand reservoir. Combine the CSS method and steam injection continue investigate in this research. We will validate the scenarios based on the how fast steam chest can grow and get maximum oil recovery. Reservoir simulation resulted how steam chest behavior in unconsolidated sand to improve oil recovery; It concluded that by combining CSS and Steam Injection, we may get a faster steam chest growth and higher oil recovery by 61.5% of heavy oil system.

Abstract

Hydraulic fracturing is one of the stimulation treatment in oil and gas well by creating a fractured through a proppant injection to the formation. A most critical problem in the actual oil and gas industry is that the fracturing engineers could not forecast approximately post-production performance after fracturing the job, which is a severe problem. This problem phenomenon has occurred in some cases and significantly impacts production such as oversizing or lower sizing of pumping rate setting. Integrated analysis for post job hydraulic fracturing production based on the geometry model iteration and Productivity Index (PI) comparison in the conventional oil sand reservoir is simply a method to analyze and forecast approximately incremental production performance. The fractured software generates a fractured geometry model that considers half-length of fractured parameters, width in front of perforation, average width, fractured height, and pressure net. Then we compare the Productivity Index's prediction value through the method of Cinco-Ley, Samaniego and Dominguez. A case study in the well of TM#2 (conventional oil sand reservoir) was conducted as the comprehensive study to provide the data and proceed analysis for production forecast. We found that the geometry model and iteration of PKN 2D method generated a small fractured geometry model compare to fracCADE software. The cooperation between PKN 2D method and Cinco-Ley, Samaniego, and Dominguez concept successfully predict post-production forecast. This concept could be proposed as a quick look measurement for production scenarios to overcome pump sizing.

Abstract

Geothermal energy is a renewable alternative energy source. One of the analyses used to determine the characteristics of a geothermal field is water geochemical analysis. The target of this research is the Blawan-Ijen geothermal prospect area, Bondowoso. The geochemical analysis was carried out using AAS, Spectrophotometer and acid-base titration. This survey shows the characteristics of the geothermal system and geothermal fluid in the Blawan area, Ijen. From the chemical analysis of hot water, we found that the types of geothermal water fluids in the Blawan Ijen area vary. In samples BL1, BL2 and BL5 included in the type of Sulphate Water with the dominant elemental Sulphate (SO4) content is also known as Sulfuric Acid Water (Acid-Sulphate Water). Then for the BL4 sample included in the type of chloride water. This type of water is a type of geothermal fluid found in most areas with high-temperature systems. Areas with large-scale hot springs flowing with high Cl concentrations originate from deep reservoirs and indicate permeable zones in those areas. However, this area may not be located above the main upflow zone. There are several other possibilities, such as topographic influences, which can significantly impact hydrological control. The presence of chlorine gas can also identify high zones' permeable areas (e.g., faults, breccia eruptions or conduit). In contrast, BL3 samples are included in the Bicarbonate Water-type. The element HCO3 (bicarbonate) is the most dominant element (main anion) and contains CO2 gas from the chemical analysis results. HCO3 water is generally formed in marginal and near-surface areas in systems dominated by volcanic rocks, where CO2 gas and condensed water vapour into groundwater. The vapour condensation can either heat the groundwater or be heated by steam (steam heated) to form an HCO3 solution

Abstract

This paper discusses a transient model of the intermittent gas lift technique in an oil well. The model is developed in the gas line, in the tubing-casing annulus, and the tubing. The line-pack and line-drafting phenomena in the gas line are considered in the model. A numerical approach will be used to solve the mathematical model that represents fluid flow during intermittent gas lift injection. The dynamics of important variables in the intermittent gas lift are investigated and analyzed to determine the best production strategy for intermittent gas lift. The variables are film thickness and velocity, slug height and velocity, and gas height and velocity. The relationships between surface injection control parameters (gas injection pressure and gas injection rate) and the velocity and height of film, gas, and liquid are shown in one cycle of the gas lift intermittent process. The higher the gas injection pressure, the faster the gas injection velocity, and the thinner the film thickness in the tubing. In order to obtain clean tubing from film thickness, the gas injection pressure needs to be optimized, which will lead to maintaining compressor discharge pressure availability. Detailed observation of the dynamic performance inside the tubing production well will give the optimum oil production rate for oil wells under a gas lift intermittent production strategy for field application.

Abstract

The source rock maturity and the hydrocarbon generation history are evaluated in the deepwater Phu Khanh Basin. The average values of heat flow, paleo water depth, and surface-water interface temperatures range from 50.80–61.69 mW/m2, 150-3,500 m, and 2.30-250C, respectively. The Oligocene and Lower–Middle Miocene source rocks are presented. The Oligocene source rock is derived from the lacustrine environment; it is mature to overmature in the Southwest part of the Phu Yen Depression. The main oil phase started in the Early Miocene, and the amount of wet gas occurred only at the bottom part. The Lower-Middle Miocene source rock has been immature in both the Southwest and Northeast part of the Phu Yen Depression. Based on the geochemical analysis, these source rocks were predominantly a mixture of type II and type III kerogens. The total organic carbon and the hydrogen index values range from 1.8-2.5 % and 250-320 mg/g, respectively. The results can help define reservoir locations for future field development planning in the Phu Khanh Basin.

Abstract

This study discusses the determination of the stabilized flow coefficient, C, in the Rawlins and Schellhardt equation. It is applicable in the reservoir with low porosity and permeability model, usually found in unconventional reservoirs. In determining the flow coefficient, a deliverability test method proposed by Hashem and Kazemi was used during the transient flow period of a gas well. Besides, in determining the deliverability exponent, n, used in the least squared analysis equation derived by Johnston and Lee in the determination of C stabilized so that from each value of n, there will be supporting data for determining stabilized flow coefficient. Finally, the application and previous method will determine the flow coefficient value based on reservoir model time stabilization. Later it compares with the John Lee equation and IPR constructs from the model and John Lee.

Abstract

The present fuel cell technology is under considerations as a potential power source for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. Fuel cells are an electrochemical power plant that takes hydrogen and oxygen as inputs and produces electricity, water and heat as outputs. Most of the global hydrogen production is from non-renewable fossil fuels. Therefore, this paper investigates how to save hydrogen fuel consumption and operate at high efficiency in the fuel cell/battery hybrid system to power a small Aircraft. We achieved that by working on the power management of the fuel cell/battery hybrid propulsion system for small UAV by using the fuzzy logic controller and charging up the batteries. The hybrid propulsion system consists of a 1.2kW PEM fuel cell, three 12V batteries, DC/DC converters, and an electric engine. The fuzzy logic controls the batteries' output powers through the bidirectional DC/DC converter. It will help maintain the fuel cell operates at an optimal point with high efficiency as the main power supply for different flight phases to achieve the desired power.

Abstract

Unconventional reservoirs are described as any reservoir that requires special recovery operations asides the conventional operating practices. However, low permeability affects the time it requires to attain stability. Presently, most of deliverability test is only carried out in a maximum 24-hour time. Limited test time makes it almost impossible to attain the reservoir stabilization time while carrying out the deliverability test. Meanwhile, to construct Inflow Performance Relationship (IPR) curve, the properties from stabilized time are required. This study aims to discuss how to predict the IPR curve by determining the stabilized flow coefficient value (C) on unconventional reservoir. Furthermore, the stabilized C was used to determine the Inflow Performance Relationship (IPR) for low porosity and permeability reservoir model, also known as Tight Oil Reservoir. The stabilized time and deliverability exponent value need to be determined before the stabilized C value. The stabilized time also know as pseudo-steady state time was evaluated from John Lee and Chaudry equation with validation from the reservoir model. The method proposed by Hashem and Kazemi, which employed the use of transient data in determining the flow coefficient value was also used. In addition, deliverability exponent (n) was determined using an equation proposed by Johnston and Lee. Furthermore, the backpressure equation from Rawlins and Schellhardt was used to construct the IPR curve.

Abstract

Indonesia oil and gas field mostly are brownfields which were drilled in the late '40s up to '90s. Development and further development of a new structure throughout the years is done, including drilling exploration wells with new play and development wells. Now, most well locations become a populated village and might raise the potential risk to the people and environment. To fulfil safety commitment, well production operations have to be done safely to the people and environment. Currently, there are no specific data that has registered all the wells in Indonesia. This issue is critical for Government and the operating companies to prepare for abandonment waves to prevent methane emissions from abandoned wells. Well Integrity Management, including well registering/database, reporting, risk assessment of trouble wells, and way forward for all the wells, should be initiated by the Government to ensure integrity assurance. It aims to prevent unwanted event in the future, including when the well is permanently abandoned. This paper will present literature studies about international well integrity standards and how well integrity manages the well life cycle. This paper is also providing recommendation to implement Well Integrity Management in Indonesia to ensure end to end well register.
