Abstract

A downside of producing oil is that it can never be fully recovered. After the end of a well's life span, the residual oil remaining in the reservoir on average can be over 30%. This residual oil can be extracted using enhanced oil recovery techniques, one of which combusts the oil in the formation where the average reservoir temperature can increase to 400⁰C for light oil and over 600⁰C for heavy oils. This method can become a significant catalyst in solving Pakistan's energy need and increasing power production. This paper aims to estimate the thermal energy production by combusting this residual oil using in-situ combustion by air injection technique. The study deals with the well Kahi-01 located in the upper Indus basin having three formations. The main target is the Hangu formation and its three reservoir blocks. This formation is characterized by its high residual oil percentage of 76-85% at depths of about 1691-1741 meters. The results show that the highest thermal energy output among the three reservoirs was 34.6e6 Megajoules. The highest power output from the binary plant was 38.5e4 Kilowatt hour.

Abstract

Completion systems are important components of hydrocarbon field development. As the link between the reservoir and surface facilities, completions need to be designed to maximize hydrocarbon recovery and withstand consistently changing conditions for years, within the safety requirements. However, designing completion for a well comprising a multi-layer and multi-fluid reservoir is quite challenging. The completion design must use the right materials and be able to safely produce single, as well as commingle products, and add any artificial lifts, depending on the method with the most optimum value. This paper, therefore, discusses the model development of completion design for an offshore well AA-01, one of the offshore wells with multi-layer and multi-fluid reservoir systems in Indonesia. Well AA-01 penetrates two productive layers, the upper layer AA-U1, and the lower layer AA-L2. The upper layer is a gas reservoir with initial gas in place of 1440 MMSCF, while the lower layer is an oil reservoir with initial oil in place of 6.1 MMSTB. In addition, the model design used available field data, for instance, PVT and DST, from well X. The base well completion was also used to model the completion design in software. Meanwhile, commercial software was utilized to estimate the well hydrocarbon recovery. Subsequently, several designs were tested, and the design with maximum production as well as hydrocarbon recovery was selected. The completion design selected comprises 9⅝ inch 47 ppf L-80 production casing, as well as 7⅝ inch 29.7 ppf L-80 liner, and produced commingle with oil and gas recovery of about 50.16% and 92.3%, respectively, in 5 years production

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.

Abstract

The demand of energy in the world will increase due to the increasing population and industrial activity. Currently, the fossil energy is relatively cheaper compared to other energy sources, especially natural gas. The “CJ” field is a gas field located in the South Sumatra Basin, Indonesia with a reservoir located in the Basalt Telisa Limestone (BTL) formation. This gas field consists of 3 wells namely Well GTA-1, GTA-2, and GTA-3 which produced from 1951 to 1991. In 1991 the three wells were suspended and will be reopened in 2021 due to request from buyers for 10 years. The research method is collecting and consisting of data on reservoir, production, and physical properties of the gas. The next step is to calculate the value of the gas formation volume factor and Z-factor (gas compressibility factor/gas deviation factor) with various pressures. After it, determine the type of drive mechanism using the Cole Plot method. After knowing the type of drive mechanism, determine the current OGIP value using the material balance method. If the OGIP value is known, the next calculation is the Recovery Factor (percentage of the amount of gas that can be produced to the surface), Ultimate Recovery (UR) and finally the value of Remaining Reserve (RR). Based on the calculation, the OGIP value obtained by the material balance method with P/Z vs GP plots is 83.46 BSCF, Recovery Factor of 80.22%, Ultimate Recovery of 66.96 BSCF, and remaining gas reserve 15.45 BSCF. The maximum flow rate could be obtained by remaining reserve divided contract period. From these results, the maximum reserve value that can be produced to the surface for 10 years is 4.23 MMSCFD. Therefore “CJ" Field meet the needs of buyer to fulfil the requirement number which is only 4 MMSCFD.

Abstract

Polymer injection is one method of chemical enhanced oil recovery, which increase oil recovery by improving mobility when viscous fingering occurred in waterflooding operation. The result of polymer injection is better sweep efficiency, which is presented by more even distribution of the injected fluid. However, in common laboratory evaluation for polymer injection testing, it was no visual observation that presents directly for the fluiddistribution. This experimental study was carried out to visually observe the polymer injection mechanism to displace oil by micromodel as porous media. The micromodel used in this study is transparent acrylic material which was etched by laser engraving technology to create grains that resemble reservoir rocks. The micromodel was saturated by brine water and light oil respectively as initial reservoir fluids. Then, the water was injected as waterflooding operation to displace oil in a micromodel. Hydrolyzed Polyacrylamide (HPAM) polymer with various concentrations were injected into the micromodel as the last scenario. Through this experiment, the movement and distribution of fluids in chemical enhanced oil recovery especiallypolymer injection was able to be recorded for further analysis. Observation for each scenario was done by Digital Image Analysis (DIA). The micromodel flooding results showed that the higher concentration of polymer would give higher oil recovery. The front stability and good distribution of polymer will result in better sweep efficiency, then higher oil recovery will be achieved. This experiment gives result visually how polymer enhance oil recovery. This experiment is expected to be leading innovation for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) laboratory studies in Indonesia
