Abstract

Casing design is the most crucial phase of drill a geothermal well. As most of problems could be prevented beforehand by having an excellent well casing design. Prior and present well problems may be assessed to enhance casing design mitigate leading causes and its relationship to well casing. This research is about geothermal well casing design by analyzing in advance the problems that the casing may encounter during drilling and production through NPT & casing damage analysis. The purpose is to construct design depth and grade of geothermal well casing from the effects of axial, hoop, and thermal stress, as well as corrosion. The method used is to analyze the NPT from the available DDR data of the wells and then analyze the damage that occurs to the production wells which then the results of these analysis’ become recommendations for of the next well casing design. The results show Well FDL-33 will use tie-back system with surface casing 20” K55 133 ppf at 350 mMD with semi-premium connection, production casing 13-3/8” L80 68 ppf at 1475.8 mMD with premium connection, production tieback casing 13-3 /8” L80 68 ppf at 300 mMD with premium connection, and production liner 9-5/8” L80 40 ppf at 2695.3 mMD with semi-premium connection.

Abstract

In Nigeria, drilling companies import a bulk of drilling fluid materials that they use to carry out their respective operations. This has been a major concern to oil and gas industries since these drilling fluid materials cannot be recycled, are highly expensive in terms of foreign exchange, are not environmentally friendly, not very effective, and non-biodegradable. This work presents an experimental investigation into the reliability of the use of local materials as a substitute to conventional viscosifiers. Local materials used in the analysis are mucuna solannie (Ukpo), brachystegia eurycoma (Achi), and detarium microcarpium (Ofo). The results obtained from the experimental analysis show that they compared closely to the standard viscosifer formulated with Pac-R. The results showed that the density, specific gravity, pH, yield stress, gel strength, plastic viscosity, and yield point of mud formulated from local materials compared favorably with that of the imported viscosifier. An increase in concentration of the local sample also favoured its potential to replace the Pac-R. In terms of cost, cutting carrying ability, and positive environmental impacts, the local materials could serve the Nigerian drilling company better.

Abstract

Smart waterflooding is a widely discussed topic for oil recovery improvement, with the main mechanism believed to be wettability alteration. However, the exact phenomena behind this effect are still being debated. This systematic literature review (SLR) utilized the Scopus database to analyze and assess studies on the interfacial tension (IFT) and zeta potential (ZP) concepts and their impact on smart waterflooding between 2017 and 2021. The review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology. The review found inconsistencies in the literature, with some studies suggesting that the reduction of IFT from smart waterflooding was not the reason for oil recovery improvement. Further evidence on the alteration of surface charge through ZP analysis is needed, and gaps are present in the area of simulation approach. The study suggests that improvements in model development and experimental setup design are necessary for future studies to obtain comprehensive conclusions. In summary, this SLR provides a critical overview of the recent understanding of the impact of IFT and ZP on smart waterflooding and highlights areas for further research, including a potential model that incorporates each mechanism with the ultimate oil recovery.

Abstract

In Libya some climatic parameters without solar radiation data are measured at meteorological stations. In south of Libya where the most solar energy available, there is no recorder data any more. Because of equipment installation, repair costs, poor maintenance culture and recent events in Libya. This study aims to estimate the global solar radiation in the city of Sabha in southern Libya. Data used in this purpose is the average monthly daily values of sunshine hours for previous years (2000 - 2010). The data were obtained from the archive of the meteorological station at Sabha airport. A model based on the hours of sunshine is used to calculate the horizontal solar radiation in the city. Calculated values are compared with other measurement data from NASA website. The comparisons are made using standard statistical tests, namely root mean square error (RMSE), mean bias error (MBE) and the correlation coefficient R. Statistical analysis: the RMSE average value in all years is positive and small (0.42), which make it desirable. The MBE average value in all years has negative value (-0.10), which is under estimation. Finally, the correlation coefficient   R, the correlation between the estimated values and the measured values from NASA is a positive correlation in all years, reaching (0.9) and the correlation strength is strong. It may almost reach complete correlation.

Abstract

Porang tubers contain glucomannan which is used in various industries. Porang is a biopolymer that has the potential to be applied in polymer flooding in oil reservoirs. In this research, a combination of porang and Xanthan gum was used for displacing oil in the laboratory. The samples analyzed varied with polymer concentrations of 2000, 4000, and 6000 ppm respectively for porang solution, Xanthan gum, and a mixture of porang and Xanthan gum. The salinity of the formation water used in this research was 6000, 12000 and 18000 ppm. The experiment aimed to observe the characteristics and performance of porang and Xanthan gum including testing for compatibility, viscosity, adsorption and sandpack flooding. Based on the test results, all samples were compatible. The application of a mixture of porang and Xanthan gum provided lower adsorption compared to the application of only Xanthan gum. The highest reduction in adsorption value given was 3.545 mg/gr. The highest viscosity and additional recovery factor were given by a mixture of porang and Xanthan gum with a concentration of 6,000 ppm and a salinity of 18,000 ppm, namely 284.72 cP and 16.1%, respectively.
