Abstract

The oil and gas industry is renowned for producing water that posed significant threat to the environment, making its management a significant concern. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to evaluate the efficiency of different bio-sorbents in purifying treated wastewater. The bio-sorbents used were derived from cashew shells (KMR), jenitri fruit (JNT), and walnuts (WN). This led to the introduction of a new method, which combined different chemical activations with various bio-sorbents, alongside characterization and filtration performance evaluations. This resulted in high-performance bio-sorbents for produced water treatment. Additionally, the methods adopted include adsorbent preparation, characterization (bulk density, FTIR, SEM), and filtration testing for turbidity and TDS parameters. The results showed that chemical activation significantly enhanced adsorbent performance, with candlenut shell + zinc chloride (KMR+ZC) and jenitri + potassium hydroxide (JNT+K) exhibiting the best adsorption capacity. Bulk density analysis showed a decrease in value after chemical activation, showing increased porosity. Meanwhile, FTIR characterization confirmed changes in functional groups after activation, with SEM showing structure modifications that improved adsorption surface area. Filtration tests showed that the modified adsorbents had better capacity in reducing turbidity and TDS in treated water.

Abstract

Calcium carbonate scale is being considered one of the challenges being faced by the oil and gas industry, as it is disrupting production activities. Acidification using hydrochloric acid is being widely applied as a scale remover; however, this reagent is being recognized as highly corrosive. Hence, this study is aiming to investigate the effect of combining sulfamic acid, citric acid, and acetic acid in ratios of 9:3:3, 6:6:3, and 3:9:3 at temperatures of 35°, 45°, and 50 °C on an environmentally friendly scale dissolution.The percentage of scale dissolution from the three acids is being compared with 5, 10, and 15% hydrochloric acid at temperatures of 35°, 45°, and 50°C using the gravimetric method. The results of the study on a laboratory scale are showing that the largest percentage scale solubility is being obtained with a ratio of sulfamic acid: citric acid: acetic acid of 9:3:3 of 65.79% at a temperature of 50°C. When compared with 5% HCl at 50°C as a control, scale dissolution is reaching 63.49%.This result is being supported by scanning electron microscope data, which are showing that the surface of the scale on the pipe after treatment with three acid combinations is having a smoother surface morphology compared to using commercial scale removal (HCl). The use of three acid combinations in this study is serving as an alternative to commercial-scale removal.

Abstract

This study focuses on the development and performance evaluation of a Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) system utilizing molecular sieve Zeolite 13X for CO2 capture. A fixed-bed reactor was designed and simulated with Aspen Adsorption to optimise adsorption conditions. The system, tested with a 24.75 L/min gas feed (10% CO2, 90% N2) at 30 °C and 6 bar, operated cyclically every 7 minutes. Simulation results recommended a reactor volume of 4.9 L (ID 102 mm × T/T 600 mm). Sensitivity analysis showed that adsorption capacity declined as CO2 concentration increased, with CO2 uptake decreasing from 24.75 L/min at 10%-mol to 8.44 L/min at 70%-mol. Key design parameters such as feed flow rate, intraparticle voids, bulk density, and particle size were also evaluated. A prototype was built based on simulation results and tested, achieving a 120 s breakthrough time and an optimal 60 s swing interval over 17 cycles. This work supports the future integration of PSA-based CO2 capture with electrochemical CO2 reduction (ECO2R).

Abstract

The Menggala, Bekasap, and Bangko formations are the main reservoirs in many productive oil fields in the Central Sumatra Basin. However, these three formations have been extensively explored and exploited, leading to high water saturation. Meanwhile, the Telisa Formation presents an opportunity for further exploration, as studies characterizing its gas reservoir in the Central Sumatra Basin remain relatively limited. This study aims to determine the characteristics of the Telisa Formation in the Akasia Area, Central Sumatra Basin, as part of a preliminary oil and gas exploration effort. The Telisa Formation in this area is a target zone for gas reservoir characterization studies. P-impedance parameters from acoustic impedance (AI) inversion analysis are used to identify rock lithology and fluid content. The AI inversion results indicate two lithology types—shale and sandy shale—confirmed through well data. High P-impedance values, ranging from 23,000 to 27,000 (ft/s)(g/cc), are identified as shale, while sandy shale exhibits lower P-impedance values, ranging from 12,500 to 22,000 (ft/s)(g/cc). Based on well-log analysis and seismic inversion, indications of hydrocarbons in the Telisa Formation of the Akasia Area are minimal or absent. The P-impedance transformation results show that the porosity distribution in the Telisa Formation is predominantly low, with slight variations in moderate porosity, ranging from 0.02 to 0.40 v/v, classifying it as poor to good porosity.

Abstract

Oil and gas pressure vessels operating at a pressure of 100 psi or higher generally use base materials with a minimum tensile strength of 400 N/mm². The fabrication of these vessels using welding methods must ensure that the weld joint achieves a minimum tensile strength equal to or greater than 400 N/mm² while maintaining good ductility. Experimental study is conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) process in meeting these requirements. The investigation aims to determine whether the selected welding parameters could produce weld joints with the necessary tensile strength and ductility. The base metal material specification used is SA 36 with a thickness of 8 mm. The weld joint uses a single V groove type, and the filler metal specification for the SMAW process is A5.1 with an AWS E7018 classification and a wire diameter of 3.2 mm. The welding machine is set with a current range of 90 A - 170 A and a voltage range of 16 volts - 25 volts. A total of six welding specimens were prepared for mechanical testing. Acceptance criteria for the test results are based on ASME Section IX standards. The tensile test results for two weld specimens showed ultimate tensile strengths of 495.98 N/mm² and 497.41 N/mm2. The root and face bend test results showed no open defects exceeding the criteria set by the ASME IX standard. The hardness test results show relatively uniform values. The microscopy examination showed a grain profile predominantly composed of ferrite structures. Based on these results, the SMAW process, when applied with the selected parameters, proves to be a suitable method for welding oil and gas pressure vessels.

Abstract

The advancement of unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs, especially shale gas, has revolutionized energy production, offering a cleaner alternative to traditional fossil fuels. Despite its potential, shale gas extraction faces significant challenges due to the ultra-low permeability of formations, complex pore structures, and issues like water blocking caused by hydraulic fracturing fluids. This study explores the innovative application of microwave heating (MWH) as a Formation Heat Treatment (FHT) technique to mitigate these challenges and enhance shale gas recovery. Microwave heating operates by converting electromagnetic energy into heat, leveraging the dielectric properties of reservoir materials to generate rapid, uniform, and volumetric heating. Numerical simulations were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of MWH under varying frequencies (915 MHz, 2450 MHz, and 5800 MHz), focusing on temperature distribution, water volume reduction, and gas production. Results demonstrate that higher microwave frequencies, particularly 5800 MHz, lead to significant temperature increases, effective water vaporization, and permeability improvements. This process facilitates gas desorption from the shale matrix, enhances diffusion, and improves cumulative gas recovery. The study highlights the environmental advantages of MWH, including reduced water usage and avoidance of groundwater contamination, positioning it as a sustainable alternative to traditional hydraulic fracturing. Furthermore, insights into shale reservoirs' thermal and electromagnetic properties are provided, offering guidance for optimizing MWH application in field conditions. This research underscores the potential of MWH to address critical operational challenges in unconventional reservoirs, paving the way for its integration into advanced shale gas recovery strategies.

Abstract

Despite the continuing development of sustainable sources of energy, crude oil and natural gas resources remain crucial elements of the international economy. With global petroleum and liquid fuel demand continually increasing, improving the efficiency of extraction from existing natural reserves of petroleum is of utmost importance as the world gradually transitions away from fossil fuels toward more sustainable sources. Toward that end, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques have been developed and are used to minimize the amount of crude oil and petroleum that is left behind in underground reservoirs from conventional drilling extraction methods. In this study, surfactants were synthesized using a fatty acid derived from palm oil as a hydrophobic group and sulfonat as a hydrophilic group. The use of vegetable oil as the raw material is likely due to its abundance and environmentally friendly. Sulfonation of anionic surfactant was performed by utilizing the Strecker modification technique in which an alkali metal bisulfite (versus sulfite) is used to sulfonate the epoxide group. The preferred sulfonating reagent is a mixture of sodium bisulphite and sodium sulfite (1:1; 1:2; 1:2.5) as well as various time reactions. Product surfactant was characterized by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) to determine the optimum condition and reaction conversion. The molecular structure of surfactant was confirmed by 1H NMR. Nonionic surfactant was then analyzed by measuring the interfacial tension (IFT) of oil and water, wettability, and imbibition test. The results showed that the optimum conditions to obtain the hight convertion were achieved by reacting oleil glisidil ether and Sodium Sulfite-Bisulfit at an equivalent mole ratio of 1: 2 and 21 hours’ reaction time. Oleil Glisidil Eter Sulfonat surfactant was able to decrease the IFT of oil and water as 10-2 dyne/cm in brine salinity condition of 18000 ppm and oil 34,39 OAPI. This study also formulated surfactants OGES and OGEP so that the IFT was up to 10-3 and the recovery factor from the imbibition test was up to 75% Rf. The results were then used to design the synthesis of vegetable surfactant oil with various carbon chain lengths and functional groups as an EOR surfactant hydrophobic group.

Abstract

Indonesia is committed to the global initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with the target of achieving Net Zero Emissions (NZE) by 2060. This reduction can be achieved through the application of CCS and CCUS technologies. CCUS technology utilizes CO₂ to enhance oil and gas production through Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) or Enhanced Gas Recovery (EGR) methods, while CCS functions to capture, transport, and securely store CO₂ in geological formations. On the other hand, Indonesia requires a consistent and affordable energy supply to support the achievement of NZE while maintaining economic growth. The government has set ambitious oil and gas production targets to safeguard economic stability. Therefore, CCS/CCUS technologies represent one of the most viable technical solutions to balance environmental needs with economic conditions. However, the implementation and commercialization of CCS/CCUS in Indonesia still face significant challenges. This study identifies several structural factors that influence CCS/CCUS policy implementation. Through structural modeling, we have identified CCS/CCUS variables with significant driving power and dependency power. The final modeling results indicate that the acceleration of CCS/CCUS implementation largely depends on the availability of storage capacity information and technological readiness. Based on these findings, we recommend that the Indonesian government adopt appropriate policies using a risk-managed approach in the development of CCS/CCUS.

Abstract

 Indonesia is resolutely addressing climate change with a commitment to reduce carbon emissions by 29% in 2030, and we are on track to achieve net-zero emissions in 2050. This country acknowledges the important role of Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) in mitigating carbon emissions, especially from the energy sector, and at the same time increasing oil and gas production. This kind of approach is also well known as CO2-EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery) and CO2-EGR (Enhanced Gas Recovery). Sukowati field is situated in the East Java Province and will serve as a pioneering CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) project aimed at revitalizing the field. This initiative focuses on increasing oil production while capturing and storing carbon dioxide (CO2), contributing to environmental sustainability. To ensure its success, a robust monitoring system must be implemented for real-time data collection and analysis, optimizing recovery processes and minimizing environmental impact. Monitoring activities deliver information regarding the CO2 injected into the reservoir and the risk of leakage into the surrounding injection region. Several methods are discussed for monitoring CO2 plumes, but in the subsurface, seismic methods stand out as the most promising option. However, despite their effectiveness, seismic methods are also among the most expensive to execute, necessitating significant investment in technology and expertise to ensure accurate and reliable data. 4D seismic, also known as time-lapse seismic, entails performing repeated seismic surveys over a designated area to monitor changes in the subsurface effectively. This imaging technique enables us to visualize the movement of CO2 plumes within the target formation and can identify alterations in the reservoir that may suggest a potential CO2 leak. A seismic survey before the injection is needed to create a baseline image of the subsurface target reservoir. Changes in velocity and amplitude are identified when the seismic waves encounter the CO2 plumes injected into the reservoir target. The challenges of performing a 4D seismic imaging survey in a densely populated area are social impact, the possibility of damaging infrastructure, high noise levels, and high operating costs, particularly if it uses a subterranean explosive (dynamite) as a source of seismic signals. To address these challenges, the study introduces a novel approach to designing irregular 4D seismic surveys. This method features a flexible acquisition layout that departs from traditional geometric symmetry. The survey utilizes a non-impulsive (vibrator) of semi-permanent seismic source and a highly sensitive, wireless seismic recording system. The irregular design is adaptively tailored based on the field's spatial characteristics, potential surface disruptions, and cost considerations. Despite not adhering to a conventional grid or orthogonal configuration, this approach ensures adequate offset and azimuth coverage necessary for detecting subsurface changes.

Abstract

Well production characteristics and reserves are critical parameters in field development planning and production optimization. In general, well production characteristics are obtained through well testing, followed by plotting and extrapolating flow rate against time, commonly referred to as the cumulative production curve. Conventional decline curve analysis models production decline under constant bottom-hole pressure during boundary-dominated flow periods. However, this approach is inadequate for analyzing data obtained during transient flow periods and requires substantial time and cost when applied to large fields with numerous wells. The modern Palacio-Blasingame type-curve method enables the integration of daily production data with reservoir information by accounting for variations in bottom-hole pressure and changes in gas pressure–volume–temperature characteristics as reservoir pressure declines. This approach enhances the accuracy of well performance evaluation and reserve estimation, provides a more comprehensive understanding of reservoir dynamics, improves efficiency by reducing analysis time and associated costs compared with the conventional decline curve methods.
