One of the screening techniques which can be applied to evaluate a candidate oil for the air injection process is the accelerating rate calorimeter (ARC). The unique feature of this instrument is that it can provide adiabatic conditions and handle experiments at high pressures. This paper reviews four tests performed in closed and flowing ARCs to fingerprint and observe the thermal behavior of a crude oil. The crude oil used for this study is characterized as a 19.3°API and viscosity of 710 mPa.s at 21°C. The oxidation experiments were performed under two scenarios of oil-only and oil in the presence of native carbonate core. Initial starting conditions of each test were at a temperature of 23°C and a reservoir pressure of 13.8 MPa. Flowing ARC experiments showed that Low-Temperature Oxidation occurs at a temperature of about 150°C, whereas ignition occurs at about 350°C when High-Temperature Oxidation region was dominant. However, when using the closed ARC, the thermal behavior of the studied oil appeared to have different temperature characteristics, and the onset of the maximum self-heat rate occurred at temperature of 288°C. The effect of the vapor phase combustion as well as the calculation of kinetic parameters are also discussed in this work.","PeriodicalId":10977,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Wed, October 23, 2019","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83456366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among today's priorities are assessment of various EOR/IOR and bottomhole treatment technologies and selection of the most effective ones that will meet the specific reservoir conditions.\u0000 For assessment of stimulation efficiency, different techniques can be used: decline curve analysis (DCA), production rates analysis before and after stimulation, analysis of reservoir properties in the near-wellbore zone and in the reservoir using pressure build-up (PUB) curves.\u0000 Each technique has advantages and disadvantages. Thus, comparison of production performance ignores bottomhole pressure changes before and after stimulation, pressure buildup curves are not infrequently of a rather low quality, DCA is based on empirical relationships liable to misinterpretation because of subjective estimate.\u0000 Devoid of these drawbacks is the rate transient analysis (RTA). The advantage of this method is that it makes allowance for change of production rates always occurring following stimulation. This is achieved through use of diffusion equations.\u0000 Practice has shown that RTA provides a comparative analysis of production rates and cumulative oil production through time, porosity and permeability before and after stimulation, being, thus, a comprehensive tool for efficiency evaluation. Variation in oil production is the most reliable parameter, because it accounts for changes in bottomhole pressure and water cut before and after stimulation. To determine this parameter, an algorithm based on the pressure drop change is offered. RTA allows production forecast by two scenarios, the scenario involving stimulation, and the scenario without any production enhancement operations with a view to assess cumulative incremental production.\u0000 In conclusion, it can be said that rate/pressure transient analysis allows assessment of efficiency of a large variety of EOR/IOR projects and a long-term production forecast. The offered approach may serve a good alternative to the decline curve analysis and comparison of production rates and PUB curves before and after stimulation.","PeriodicalId":10977,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Wed, October 23, 2019","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88551236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to production losses, production companies CAPEX and OPEX are also increasing proportionally to frac fleet activity. As a common practice, in western Siberia fracturing treatment is underflushed by about 0.5 cubic meters. This is supposed to prevent unintentional overflush and, as a result, hydraulic fracture closure at the wellbore. The loss of contact between the propped fracture and the perforated section of the well can neutralize the effect of hydraulic fracturing. This can happen in the first days of production after the operation or in a long-term perspective.\u0000 On the other hand, overflush during hydraulic fracturing is common practice for unconventional formations. It allows to use various well completion technologies with the cemented liners and significantly reduces time required to complete multistage fracturing treatment.\u0000 The objective of this paper is to show the approach and experience of the company \"Salym petroleum development\" (SPD).

The interest in these technologies is largely due to their ability to obtain data over a long period of time with a radical decrease in the required resources, thereby providing new opportunities for well management and increasing cumulative production. The aim of this article is to compare the results of applying different tracer-based systems in one well.\u0000 Tracer-based technologies produced by different manufacturers vary in physical principles of operation, as well as in the methods of their injection into the well or reservoir. Tracers designed for long-term work are injected into the reservoir with marked proppant or lowered into the wells in the lower completion cassettes. For the first time, alternative tracer-based systems were applied in one well, ensuring the selectivity of work with oil and water. This allowed us to compare the results and evaluate the technology's advantages and disadvantages. The well was completed by multi-stage hydraulic fracturing with the possibility of subsequent port control using coiled tubing. Each of five well intervals were equipped with two tracer cartridges fixed on an MFrac sleeve on both sides. In addition, proppant with markers was pumped in 3 months. The unique signature of the marker was used for each fracturing stage (5 unique signatures for each of 5 fracturing stages).\u0000 As a result of this world-first field application of alternative tracer-based systems, valuable analytical material was obtained related to the quantitative analysis of various tracers, the performance of different polymers, and the stability of the tracers’ allocation in the formation fluid. The data obtained confirmed the character of the marked proppant pack washing out with the formation fluid in comparison with the tracer casings attached to MFrac port on both sides.\u0000 The following results were achieved upon completion: additional tools were obtained for the correlation of data on the tracers amount and concentration, and comparative indicators of different tracer technologies in terms of efficiency and work accuracy were identified. It was also confirmed that the marked proppant is not washed out into the well under these reservoir conditions. The authors of this article were the first to compare the technologies with different approaches to the tracers’ placement in a well within one project. Based on the project results, the obtained data allowed us to answer many pressing questions from oil and gas producing companies related to the comparison of tracer systems.","PeriodicalId":10977,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Wed, October 23, 2019","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80557219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To give full play of these three chemicals on oil recovery, we alternatively inject polymer and alkali-surfactant slugs, and this modified ASP flooding is named A/S-P alternating flooding. A pilot test is then carried out in a water flooded reservoir since November 2008, which is employed in a block of 28 injection wells and 40 production wells.\u0000 In the pilot test, alkali-surfactant slugs and polymer slugs are alternatively injected for five turns after a leading polymer slug. Injecting pressure increases in each polymer slug and decreases in the following A/S slug. In the following polymer slug, the injecting pressure of test area is 1.5MPa lower than contrast area and the injection rate per well is 9m3/d higher, while the production is 18% more. Profile tests show that the proportion of injectable thickness to total effective thickness keeps 80% or higher during the whole flooding process of the test area, while the proportion of contrast area is only 70% in the late stage. The minimum water cut during A/S-P alternating flooding is 82.0%, which is 6.1% lower than ASP flooding. However, the water cut increases significantly when A/S slugs are injected, which is an important weakness of A/S-P flooding. When chemical flooding is over, 17.8% of the original oil in place (OOIP) has been exploited by A/S-P alternating flooding, which is more than 7% higher than the contrast area flooded by ASP, while the total chemical cost is 11.3% lower. Therefore, A/S-P alternating flooding can be a cost effective enhanced oil recovery technology.\u0000 A/S-P alternating flooding has more injection and production, displaces more zones, gets a higher oil recovery and uses fewer chemicals, which can be a cost effective technology.","PeriodicalId":10977,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Wed, October 23, 2019","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80944530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering these results stress calculation leads to a difference between an isotropic and anisotropic profile up to 20%, this has significant impact on the hydraulic fracture geometry.\u0000 The rock behavior under load is different and is determined by the properties of the rock grains and the contact between them. Thus, the section separation into mechanical facies plays an important role when estimating elastic parameters, including Biot coefficient (α), which is different for shales, sand and/or carbonate, for example. Correct estimation of α with respect to mechanical facies allows achieving good agreement between stress calculation and actual measurements obtained with a mini-frac job, thereby increasing fracture geometry prediction accuracy.\u0000 Another tool to compensate lack of stress contrast calculated based on standard 1D geomechanical workflow is the use of petrophysical parameters such as porosity, clay content, neutron density and its correlation with static elastic properties to estimate minimum horizontal stress.
