Abstract

The increasing trend of carbon reduction program in Indonesia has been intensified to achieve Net-Zero Emission in 2060. One of the option to achieve this commitment is by implement Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) program in Indonesia as this technology offers reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) by taking the CO2 directly from the emitter and safely inject it to the depleted reservoir. This study aims to map the potential of CCS Storage from oil and gas depleted reservoir as the candidates of sink and its connectivity with the available CO2 Source from Cement, Petrochemical, and Fertilizer industry. The depleted oil and gas reservoir storage capacity is calculated from the available data of oil and gas in place with its ultimate recovery. The pipeline right of ways is also mapped to evaluate the connectivity of the CO2 emitter and CO2 storage. There are four major region which could potentially developed for further CCS impelementation program. The South Sumatera Region holds 3 MtCO2 annual emission from the industry and connected to surrounding storage via pipeline with total capacity of 584 MtCO2. Both West Java and East Java hold advantages for CCS as the West Java available storage 612 MtCO2 while East Java 345 MtCO2 while the annual emission from industry in West Java and East Java are 13 MtCO2 and 9 MtCO2 respectively. In Kalimantan, there are potency of 15 MtCO2 annual emission with 1,945 MtCO2 storage capacity.

Abstract

The Indonesian government has set a target to reduce the consumption-production gap by increasing national oil production to 1 million barrels of oil per day (BOPD) and 12 billion standard cubic feet per day (BSCFD) of gas by 2030. Amongst several approaches, the optimization of mature fields offers a significant opportunity for quick production gains. However, analyzing these fields presents challenges due to the complexity, incompleteness, and poor quality of historical data. Heterogeneity Index (HI) is one of the methods that quickly measure well performance. This method is as simple as measuring a certain well as compared to the average performance at certain time. The parameter being used might vary, but production data is the most frequent one given its availability. Despite simple and practical, skepticism on the reliability of this method is still questionable. This work revisited "XYZ" field consisting of XX wells producing more than 32 years with hundreds of workovers. We brought evidences and insights on how HI leads to the workover success from. Apriori algorithm, an Association Rule Mining (ARM) technique, is employed to uncover rules from the noisy data. The results show that workover on wells with low HI mostly leads to success. Another insight is that of scale treatment is the most influential one in determining the success. Given these findings, the flow efficiency is the issue that should be well treated and HI is representative enough to measure this one.

Abstract

Chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is a tertiary phase method used to extract significant amounts of residual crude oil that primary and secondary recovery phases cannot recover. Surfactants are crucial in chemical EOR for their impact on rock surfaces and water-oil interfaces. Optimizing these formulations under reservoir conditions is essential before their use in oil recovery. However, screening is challenging due to the variety of surfactants and their sensitivity to reservoir conditions and rock types. This study introduces methyl ester sulfonate (MES), an anionic bio-surfactant, to improve the oil recovery factor (RF). Spontaneous imbibition (SI) experiments measured MES's ability to enhance oil RF in sandstone reservoir rocks under high salinity and temperature. The results showed MES's excellent performance even under high salinity conditions. On day 14, MES samples under 30 kppm salinity and 80°C with concentrations of 0.5 mM, 2 mM, and 3 mM had RF values of 12%, 18%, and 26%, respectively. Under 40 kppm salinity and 80°C, the RF values were 17%, 19%, and 27%, respectively. MES enhances oil recovery efficiency and preserves environmental health due to its biodegradability, making it a safer alternative to traditional surfactants. Its use can significantly improve chemical EOR processes under challenging conditions. As a novelty, this study also explains the mechanism of MES in changing the wettability of sandstone to the intermolecular scale.

Abstract

The conventional development of deasphalting processes relies on costly and time-consuming lab experiments. This study introduces a more efficient approach using simulation to tackle these challenges. The method identifies the composition of synthetic crude oil (SCO) feedstock, dividing it into four key molecular groups: Saturates, Aromatics, Resins, and Asphaltenes (SARA). These groups are pseudo-components in the simulation, characterized by parameters like boiling points and molecular weights. The simulated boiling points are then compared with actual crude oil to ensure accuracy. The framework is applied to model hydrocarbon residue in Lube Oil production, testing adaptability across various feedstocks. The strategy to improve the simulation's accuracy was adjusting molecular interactions for asphaltene separation and refining pseudo-components. This resulted in a boiling point curve with an RMSD of 2.689, closely matching the actual residue curve. This approach improves the precision of deasphalting while reducing dependence on resource-heavy lab work.

Abstract

The need for salt in the petroleum industry is very high, especially in drilling. This significant demand is not matched by salt production. Effective, low-cost, and environmentally friendly technology to produce salt of the appropriate quality is still a challenge in the petroleum industry. On the other hand, the amount of rock salt produced by salt farmers in Indonesia reaches 2.5 million tons per year. This research utilizes rock salt from salt farmers. It converts it into quality salt according to the needs of the petroleum industry by using a modified mixing washer method to increase NaCl purity and reduce impurity levels such as Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions. The results showed that rock salt was successfully converted into industrial-grade salt using the modified abstersion method with a mixer washer tool. The characteristics of the salt produced after the mixing washer are that it has a whiter and cleaner color than premium and rock salt. Mixer washer salt has a concentration of 98.80% NaCl, 0.064% Ca2+, and 0.062% Mg2+, meeting the standard for petroleum industry-grade salt and suitable for use in the drilling process.

Abstract

Diesel engines have advantages in their use in various sectors, one of which is that they have high torque and power to cover heavy loads optimally. The fuel used in a diesel engine has a big impact on the performance produced by the diesel engine. Many fuel refinements have been carried out using various methods. The aim of this research is to test and analyze one method of improving Ultra Fine Bubble combustion in various diesel fuels. Ultra fine bubble is a method of adding nano-sized oxygen to fuel which is expected to improve engine performance. The method used is a performance test on a hand tractor axle dynamometer with B0 (diesel), B35 (biodiesel–diesel blends 35%) and biodiesel fuel. When adding UFB, differences in characteristic values ​​are produced in cetane number, fog point, lubricity, density, viscosity and flash point. The power produced on B0 fuel when given UFB increased by 3.46%, on B35 UFB increased by 7.45% and on biodiesel UFB increased by 1.6%. The increase in power that occurs in B35 and biodiesel is also followed by a decrease in the specific fuel consumption (sfc) value, while in B0 there is an increase in sfc when the fuel is given UFB.

Abstract

Ultrafine bubbles are nano-sized, much smaller than regular bubbles, and efficient in gas exchange processes, making them reactive in physical and chemical processes. The application of ultrafine bubbles includes medicine, agriculture, cleaning, and diesel engine fuels. The objective of this research is to analyze the impact of ultrafine bubble additives injected into B-0 CN 51 diesel fuel to enhance fuel performance. The research method involves injecting oxygen additives at flow rates of 1, 3, and 5 liter/minute into 1.5 liters of fuel for treatment durations ranging from 10 to 60 minutes. Observation parameters include distillation, cetane number, density, flash point, and cloud point. The results of oxygen injection at 1 liter/minute for 10 minutes found the highest values for viscosity at 2.65 mm²/s, density at 813,7 kg/m³, distillation at 341,2°C, cloud point at 7°C, and flash point at 67.4°C. Conversely, oxygen injection at 5 liters/minute for 60 minutes resulted in the lowest values for viscosity at 2.53 mm²/s, density at 801.3 kg/m³, distillation at 320.7°C, cloud point at 5.4°C, and flash point at 56.2°C. Meanwhile, the cetane number increased, with the highest value of 63 observed at an oxygen injection rate of 5 liter per minute for 60 minutes, and the lowest value of 56.5 observed at an injection rate of 1 liter/minute for 10-minute This research shows that the impact of ultrafine bubbles adds value to B-0 CN 51 fuel, creating a new product considering the promising cetana number.

Abstract

The structural transition between Sumatra and Java presents significant geological challenges due to the change in the orientation of the convergent plate boundary, shifting from NW-SE in western Sumatra to W-E in southern Java. This study focuses on the regions of Lampung (representing Sumatra's tectonics), West Java (representing Java's tectonics), and the Sunda Strait as the boundary between them. The research aims to map tectonic stress conditions using formal stress inversion methods based on earthquake focal mechanism data, constrained to depth intervals of 0-15 km and 15-33 km. Focal mechanism data are categorized by geographic and regional structural geology with kinematic homogeneity, leading to the identification of ten inversion zones. Findings show that Lampung's average stress regime ( ) is strike-slip fault regime at both depth intervals. The Sunda Strait displays a transtensive fault regime across these depths, while West Java has a thrust fault regime at 0-15 km, transitioning to strike-slip fault regime at 15-33 km.

Abstract

The promising glycolipids produced by non-pathogenic yeast as biosurfactants are called sophorolipids. Their advantages over chemical surfactants are smaller environmental impact, lower toxicity, and biodegradable. They can reduce interfacial tension (IFT), form microemulsions, and alter wettability in enhanced oil recovery applications. The potential as biosurfactants is due to the resistance to high salinity and high temperature in reservoir conditions.Laboratory experiments for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) applications require to test fluid-to-fluid and fluid-to-rock interactions in the complex crude oil–rock–brine (CORB) system. This review discusses the sophorolipids mechanisms of fluid-to-fluid and fluid-to-rock interactions.Sophorolipids’ potential in EOR processes can be determined from core flooding experiments, in which some researches reported the incremental oil recovery up to obtained up to 20%. The review and discussion in this article are intended to have a broad impact on science and the petroleum industry, particularly in EOR applications.

Abstract

Heavy oil recovery faces significant challenges due to the unstable displacement of oil by water, known as viscous fingering (VF). This occurs when low-viscosity fluids displace high-viscosity fluids, leading to inefficient oil recovery and increased water production. These issues reduce efficiency and increase environmental and economic costs, highlighting the need for improved simulation techniques to better understand and manage VF dynamics. This study examines the use of non-Newtonian Carreau fluids in modeling VF phenomena, offering more realistic simulations than Newtonian fluids. The shear-thinning behavior of Carreau fluids allows injected fluids to penetrate smaller pores effectively, influencing finger formation and growth. Current work, which incorporates non-Newtonian fluid characteristics, provides a more accurate representation of viscous fingering, including key features such as finger formation, merging, coalescence, blocking, tip-splitting, and expansion. Three porosity values (0.29, 0.5, and 0.7) are simulated to represent diverse reservoir conditions. A 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is utilized, employing the volume of fluid (VOF) approach to capture immiscible displacement processes. The model is validated using experimental data from coreflood studies. The results demonstrate that porosity significantly influences VF behavior, with lower porosities resulting in more pronounced finger formation, splitting, and coalescence. Non-Newtonian fluids decrease instability by moderating VF growth dynamics, enhancing displacement efficiency. These findings emphasize the importance of incorporating non-Newtonian fluid properties and porosity variations into VF simulations to optimize oil recovery processes. This study provides insights into VF dynamics, advancing the development of sustainable and efficient heavy oil recovery technologies.
