Abstract

In producing oil, one of the common problems faced by oil and gas companies is the production of a lot of water. Increased water production causes the storage tank to be unable to accommodate the produced water. To overcome the excess water production, some of the water is injected back into the well. In Field A, an innovation has been made for a water injection pump with the driving force coming from the Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) pump. The working principle of this ESP pump is to drain water from the disposal well to the injection well. Therefore, in order for the injection to run optimally, synchronization is carried out starting from the water entering the holding tank, the flow rate in the Disposal well and the pump capacity (ESP) for injecting from the holding well to the injection well. The amount of water flow rate injected through the ESP pump is 9,500 BWPD. For this reason, the capacity of the ESP pump as an injection pump is calculated. First, determine the water level in the tank to control the amount of flow that enters the reservoir well. Based on the results of the research that has been done, the water level in the holding tank to get a flow rate of 9,500 BWPD is 4.11 ft. And the results of the calculation of water will be injected using an ESP pump with a number of stages 22 with the TRW Reda Pump Devision pump type. The water will be channeled to the injection well with a type of galvanized iron pipe with a diameter of the main pipe (mainline) of 6 inches. From the disposal well, it flows with a 4 inch pipe as far as 45.93 ft and a 2 inch pipe as far as 2214.57 ft for well 07. As for wells 60, the flowline size is 4 inches as far as 708.66 ft and 2 inches as far as 987.53 ft.

Abstract

Repeated welding caused by welding defects in the weld joint will result in changes in the mechanical properties of the weld joint, especially in the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ). Significant changes will occur when welding on steel materials that have undergone special treatment during the manufacturing process, such as quenched and tempered S690Q steel. S690Q steel is a structural steel with high yield strength with quenched and tempered conditions. The research was conducted by doing repeated welding as a simulation of the repair process using the GMAW process. Macro observations as well as tensile, bending, hardness, toughness tests were carried out on cross sections of welded joints. From the results of all the tests carried out the results meet the requirements of the BS EN ISO 15614-1 standard, but the results of the hardness test can identify significant changes in mechanical properties in the HAZ, especially in the bottom or root pass and hot pass areas. The average hardness value decreased from 334.07 HV at the top (face) to 209.55 HV and 198.88 HV at the bottom (hot pass and root pass) on the left side of the HAZ. While on the right side of the HAZ, the hardness value is 337.40 HV to 254.34 HV and 208.64 HV. Keywords: HAZ, S690Q, Structural Steel, Quenched and Tempered Steel

Abstract

Natural plant extracts show excellent performance in inhibiting steel corrosion. Steel has a relatively weak resistance to corrosion when in a corrosive environment. The use of natural plant extracts as green corrosion inhibitors is able to provide good performance with high inhibition efficiency. Experimental methods such as gravimetric analysis, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy are commonly used to investigate corrosion inhibition based on corrosion activity. A comparative literature review of this work is important for the development and utilization of green inhibitors. Experimental studies still do not clearly reveal the mechanism of adsorption and inhibition of molecular inhibitors at the atomic level. For this reason, future developments are very important to study theoretically at the atomic level of the main components of natural plant extracts as corrosion inhibitors, so that it is hoped that there will be a clear and systematic understanding of the mechanism of corrosion inhibition in steel.

Abstract

With the decreasing of world oil reserves, energy savings programs have started across the entire world. Recently, Indonesia has now become one of the importing countries for crude oil. Biomass gasification sustainability, especially in Indonesia, is very guaranteed because of the abundant availability of biomass in Indonesia. The goals of this study are examine the 5 kW diesel generator performance against various load with diesel fuel and diesel fuel plus syngas (synthetic gas) from sawdust. This research was carried out at Renewable Energy Laboratorium of Engineering Faculty UNTIRTA. The author performed this research using 5,2 kW total load of halogen lamp. In this research the load used was only at 3.2 kW because of the "not optimal condition" of the diesel generator resulting in not optimal engine rotation. Diesel generator power value at low loading point was increased. Whereas, at high loading point was decreased.

Abstract

ABSTRAK Perkembangan teknologi komposit tidak hanya pada komposit sintetis, akan tetapi juga mengarah pada komposit alam (Natural Composite) dikarenakan keistimewaan sifatnya yang dapat di daur ulang atau istilah lain terbarukan. Penelitian ini bertujuan membuat bahan komposit serat alam dan resin epoxy terhadap sifat mekanis. Pada penelitian ini, komposisi tandan kosong kelapa sawit dan serat kulit akasia dengan nilai 15%+5%, 10%+10% dan 5%+15% dengan bahan perekat resin epoxy 80%. Hasil uji bending menunjukkan bahwa campuran komposit 80% resin epoxy, 15 % serat tandan kosong kelapa sawit dan 5 % serbuk kayu akasia mempunyai nilai kekuatan bending yang terendah yaitu 9,95N/mm2, sedangkan campuran komposit 80% resin epoxy, 5% serat tandan kosong kelapa sawit dan 15 % serbuk kayu akasia mempunyai nilai kekuatan bending tertinggi yaitu 20,84 N/mm2. Hal ini disebabkan karena campuran serbuk kayu akasia memiliki struktur dari serat akasa lebih kasar, kuat, padat dan lebih berat dari pada tandan kosong kelapa sawit yang memiliki stuktur serat yang lebih ringan, rapuh dan berongga (tidak padat). Hasil kekuatan impact yang paling tinggi dari campuran serat alam 80% resin epoxy, 15% serbuk kayu akasia dan 5% TKKS dengan nilai 134 J/mm2. Hal ini disebabkan dari jumlah campuran dari akasia lebih besar maka kekuatan spesimen lebih tinggi kekuatannya karena semakin banyak serat akasia maka semakin terus meningkat kekuatan spesimen tersebut.

Abstract

Field or Field Marley is one of the fields in the work area of ​​PT. Pertamina Hulu Rokan, which is located in Riau Province, has entered the brownfield phase and has a high water cut rate. This condition made the company start a new step by making a size-up on the pump in the Marley well. However, after the Size-Up program was carried out there were several wells that failed, therefore in this study, the researcher will do a re-calculation to find out how far the success of the Size-Up program has been. After the Size-Up program was carried out at the Asmud well in the Marley field, the results obtained as much as 68% success, which is below the minimum target which should be above 100%. It is known that the pump installed in the Asmud well is a Centrilift 400P10 pump with a pump range of 650-1400 bfpd specifications, motor power 42 HP, electric current 53 A, voltage 475 V, and efficiency of 88.4%. Well data can be in the form of a 93% water cut, with an sfl value of 184 ft and a wfl of 307 ft, a pwf of 383.33 psi, and an API value of 34. Based on these parameters, the Inflow Performance Relationship (IPR) curve can be analyzed. it is analyzed that the Asmud well is in a down thrust condition where the pump is in the minimum range. Therefore, the researcher suggests that a Size-Down pump be carried out using a Centrilift 400P8 60 Hz pump with a specification range of 550-1200 bfpd which is in accordance with the production capacity of the Asmud well.
