Abstract

The Natuna Gas Field has a potential gas reserve of 222 TCF, but this gas field has a very high CO, content of up to 71%. The high composition of CO, content and its location, which is too far from the market, causes the best option to use the Natuna's gas by converting it to liquid. Dimethyl Ether (DME) is a choice of liquid products that have a good potential as alternative energy for household LPG. A more in-depth study of the options for using the Natuna's gas into DME product via direct process was carried out in this study. The methodology used is initiated by determining the type of facilities needed and then conducting a process simulation to determine the mass balance, energy balance, and design of the equipment used. Process simulation and economic simulation show that the Natuna Gas Field is technically feasible to be developed into a DME product with a capacity of 1,800 MMSCFD, resulting in 21,245 MT/day DME. Upstream and downstream integration economic scheme produces a better economic result (ROI: 6.34%) compared to an upstream economic scheme (ROI: 0.63%). Apart from that, tax incentives on the downstream scheme can increase the project economy, and the scenario of tax holiday is the most beneficial for developers and the government.

Abstract

MES (Methyl Ester Suffocates) can be formulated to become surfactant-MES that has surfactant potential properties for EOR (enhanced oil recovery). A such formulated surfactant MES by adding some solvents and chemicals to adjust its properties in order to generate a compatibity with reservoir fluid and rock has been developed. This formulated surfactant MES, therefore, has been tested its properties for enhanced oil recovery in a selected oil field. The oil field produces an oil withc39.45oAPI, and brine content of about 18,900 mg/L equivalent NaCl concentration. While reservoir rock is not available and substituted by Bentheimer standard core. Basically the production enhancements of surfactant solution for EOR processes are wettability alteration and interfacial tension reduction. In these experiments, some evaluations have been done to observe the capability the formulated surfactant MES for oil production enhancements includingwettability alteration and imbibition capability. Formulated low interfacial tension surfactant-MES that will be evaluated for spontaneous imbibition ability have been diluted in the brine of 0.5 and 1.0% concentrations. Tests on wettability alteration indicated that the surfactant solutions could not change the wettability of the rocks. The initial wettability is mixed wet and still mixed wet after ageing in the surfactant solution. On other hand the spontaneous imbibition tests resulted in significant oil production coming out from the cores, i.e. 67.07% oil recovery with 0.5% surfactant and 92.25% for 1.0% surfactant solutions. But optimum oil recovery factor by brine imbibition is only 41.69%

Abstract

Wax precipitation in crude oils can produce problems in oil production and transportation operations. Prediction is the key of avoidance or remediation of the wax problem of flow assurance. Among the wax prediction thermodynamic model, Coutinho model can be run using limited laboratory data, but the result is comparably accurate. The model requires n-paraffin distribution, which commonly determined by high-temperature gas chromatography (HTGC) analysis. However, only few laboratories could perform the HTGC. Lemigas has abundant database of crude oil with conventional gas chromatography data. An extended n-paraffin distribution was calculated based on the conventional GC data by performing extrapolation and normalization to total wax content. The n-paraffin distribution was applied in Coutinho model to predict wax precipitation of a crude oil sample. The WAT obtained from the model deviated only 2°C from DSC data. The result was also valid to DSC data in term of precipitated wax amount along temperature range.

Abstract

A commercial low-rank coal SNG (substitute natural gas) plant is being planned to build in Pendopo, South Sumatra. However, the CO2 produced is not allowed to be vented and should be managed properly. One approach to manage this anthropogenic CO2 emission is through the utilization for CO2 EOR (enhanced oil recovery) or CO2 sequestration. This workaims to investigate the possibility of application and the readiness carbon capture utilization and sequestration (CCUS) for CO2 management of South Sumatera SNG Plant. It presents technical ranking of suitable reservoirs, injection profiles determination, cluster principle of oil fields that can accommodate the amount of CO2 supplied for a number of years, and planning and realization of trunk pipelines and the possibility to reuse the major part of the present infrastructure. The results show the A1 oil field has the highest rank in the sink scoring indicating that this field has highest suitability for CO2 EOR application and CO2 sequestration. Three clusters are formed, north, southeast and west cluster as the basis to establish pipelines network development. The largest CO2 storage potential is in southeast cluster, 27 MtCO2 and the injection strategy developed is successful to manage CO2 supply from SNG Plant.

Abstract

Many of the oil and gas installations in the Indonesian Sea are reaching the end of their economic production life. Typically, oil and gas fields have an economic life of 20 to 40 years and a decommissioning program will be required and predicted to peak during the period 2010-2020. Some of them are located in shallow water such as those around Pulau Seribu, Java Sea, and South China Sea; some others are in deeper water such those at Makasar Straits and Moluccas Sea. Many different opinions exist on the benefits and problems of a partial platform removal or a complete removal. For some reasons platforms would be a good fishing spot. On the other hands, an unseen hazard could be left behind by the platforms. Even a complete removal of the platforms is conducted but without proper clearing of the ocean floor, the unused platforms still can cause hazards. For the management of the seas outside the territorial waters, worldwide nations have historically entered into international agreements and conventions. These agreements and conventions that have been entered into under the umbrella of the United Nations are Geneva Convention, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Guidelines. Nationally, there is little information concerning with the decommissioning project. This paper is intended to highlight options for decommissioning of offshore platforms, its environmental impacts, and regulations that could be referred to following the decommissioning proposal. The technological aspects of the structural decommissioning of platforms are beyond the scope of this paper.

Abstract

 Biodiesel is attracting increasing attention worldwide as a substituted petroleum diesel fuel or a blending component in transport sector. Biodiesel also become more attractive because of its environmental benefits and the fact that it is made from renewable resources. Biodiesel feedstock can be divided into four main categories: (i). Edible vegetable oi; (ii). Non-edible vegetable oil, (iii); Waste or used cooking oil; and (iv). Animal fats. There are two major factors to take into consideration when dealing with feedstock for biodiesel production i.e the source and composition. Biodiesel feedstocks have three main types of fatty acids as the main compounds that are present in a triglyceride: saturated (Cn:0), monounsaturated (Cn:1) and polyunsaturated (Cn:2,3). The overall biodiesel physicochemical properties are strongly influenced by the properties of individual fatty acid esters in biodiesel. Fatty acid composition varies for all biodiesel feedstocks that affected the product quality. Important fuel properties of biodiesel that are influenced by the fatty acid composition are viscosity, cetane number, heating/ calorific value, cloud point,and oxidation stability. Oxidation stability is one of the major issues influencing the use of biodiesel or FAME (fatty acid methyl ester), due to the nature of biodiesel, makes it more susceptible to oxidation or auto-oxidation during long-term storage than petroleum diesel fuel. The oxidation stability values of the biodiesel range from 0.4 hr (for the most unsaturated biodiesel, linseed) to 35.5 hr (for the most saturated one, coconut).

Abstract

Increasing growth of population will lead to increasing energy needs; therefore it is necessary to find alternative energy other than fossil fuel. Currently, energy sources in Indonesia are mainly derived from oil and natural gas such as LPG. Starting from 2008, LPG demand increased significantly for households and small industries as a result of government policy on conversion of kerosene to LPG. To meet this demand, the government imports LPG up to 2 million tons per year. In order to overcome LPG crisis, an alternative energy is required to be developed without changing either the distribution system, technical or commercial used. An option among others is dimethyl ether (DME) derived from low calori’s coal gasification. In this research analysis characteristics of DME is compared to LPG (as fuel reference) used. The test methods carried out refers to the specification of LPG issued by Directorate General of Oil and Gas. Based on the results, it shows that the characteristics of the fuel LPG mixed with DME 20% and 50% have some good results particularly on physical and chemical properties, stability and homogeneous of gas. Hence, LPG mixed DME 20% and 50% can be used as a substitute fuel for household stove.

Abstract

The palynological study of Pematang Group of Aman Trough, Central Sumatra Basin is carried out To construct biostratigraphy of Pematang Group. The palynological analysis provide a zonal subdivision And bioevent identification as well as environment of depositional interpretation. The study uses cutting And core samples which were collected from wells namely Well A-1 and Well B-1. The age of the sediment Ranges from “not older than Middle Eocene” to “not younger than Oligocene”. Top Oligocene age is Identified by the last occurrence of Meyeripollis naharkotensis whilst the base Oligocene is uncertain. The Eocene age is defined by the occurrence of Florschuetzia trilobata and supported by the last occurrence of Cicatricosisporites eocenicus. The environment is deposited in alluvial fan to proximal lacustrine during Eocene to Late Eocene, then, changed into deltaic marine in Late Oligocene. Interestingly, the studied Sediment lacks of lacustrine elements suggesting the disappearance of lake deposit. The studied wells can be Separated into 5 events which are applicable within the studied area, from older to younger age as follow: The LO of Cicatricosisporites eocenicus, the fresh water apparent, and the freshwater prominent, the first Significant backmangrove, and the LO of Meyeripollis naharkotensis.

Abstract

Produced water will be used as injection water for water flooding need, but, based on the results of water quality tests show poor injection water quality caused by a lot of solids particles with high total suspended solids (TSS) concentration and high relative plugging index (RPI) obtained in the injection water. When, the condition of injection water without treatment is injected into formation will cause serious plugging. In this study, two methods used to minimize the high TSS and RPI problems are treatment with chemical and filtration (activated carbon). The use of optimal concentration of scale inhibitor in the injection water can reduce TSS and RPI in the injection water, but it does not work effectively, so that its water quality is still poor water quality and can cause plugging in the formation. Another method is filtration with activated carbon filter media which has characteristics of adsorption and large specific area to filter insoluble materials in the injection water. After filtration, the filtrate of the injection water results in clear water condition. Based on the results of laboratory tests indicate that the filtrate of the injection water contains the least solids particles with small particle size, low total suspended solids concentration and low relative plugging index value. When, it is injected into formation, the possibility of plugging occurrence can be minimized, although, there is increase of pH value, but, in general, the filtrate of the injection water can be categorized good water quality
