Ultimately, the goal is to minimize the overall number of required SRUs for a greenfield gas plant and, consequently, capture a significant cost-avoidance opportunity.\u0000 The technology review revealed that a high-level O2 enrichment can double the processing capacity of air-based SRU, depending on the H2S content in acid gas. As H2S mole fraction in feed increases, the debottlenecking capability increases. For the project under assessment, the processing capacity of air-based SRUs showed a maximum increase of 80%. On the contrary, operating with high O2 levels, will elevate SRU reaction furnace temperature, and mandates installing high-intensity burners, along with special control and ESD functions, to manage potential risk and ensure safe operation. Additionally, the liquid handling section of SRUs (condensers, collection vessels, degassing vessels, sulfur storage tanks) should be enlarged to accommodate more sulfur production. Typically, the enriched oxygen can be supplied from air separation units (ASUs), which entails significant capital cost.\u0000 Apart from these special design considerations, there are several advantages for adopting this technology. Oxygen enrichment removes significant nitrogen volumes, which reduces loads on Claus, tail gas treatment, and thermal oxidizer units. Hence, lower capital cost for new plants is acquired due to equipment size reduction. In addition, higher HP steam production and less fuel gas consumption are achieved. Conventionally, O2 enrichment technology is employed in the initial design stage or used to retrofit operating SRUs facilities. However, it is unique to consider O2 enrichment-design requirements as part of new air-based SRUs design for phased program development. The objective is to enable smooth transition to fully O2 enrichment operated SRUs at a later phase of the project without the need for any design modification. This exceptional pre-investment strategy has resulted into reducing the required number of SRUs at phase II from eight to five units; and accordingly, a significant cost avoidance was captured.","PeriodicalId":11024,"journal":{"name":"Day 4 Wed, December 01, 2021","volume":"136 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76440542","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}

Oil production under miscible gas injection will result in variations of interfacial tension (IFT) due to changes in oil and gas compositions and other reservoir properties, such as pressure and temperature. Laboratory experiments show that changes in IFT will affect the two-phase relative permeability curve (Kr), especially for oil-gas system. Using a single relative permeability curve during the process from immiscible to miscible conditions will result in inaccurate gas mobility against water, which may lead to poor estimation of sweep efficiency and oil recovery. A synthetic sector compositional model was built to evaluate the effects of this phenomenon. Several simulation cases were investigated over different gas injection compositions (lean, rich and CO2), fluid properties and reservoir characterizations to demonstrate the impact of these parameters. Simulation model results show that the application of Kr_IFT on gas injection simulation modelling has captured different displacement behavior to provide better estimation of oil recovery and identify any upside potential.","PeriodicalId":11024,"journal":{"name":"Day 4 Wed, December 01, 2021","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74488867","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}

Low recovery from these wells has motivated refracturing although outcomes have been interpreted to range from successful to minimal impact based on operator specific evaluations. To tailor available technologies and improve quantification of upsides, there is need for mapping the spatial distribution of remaining resources and developing simpler but reliable analytical techniques. In this study, hydraulic fractures were assumed to be planar in a matrix with low porosity and ultra-low permeability. Consideration of natural fractures and their interaction with stimulation fluids led to addition of distributed fracture networks adjacent to the planar hydraulic fractures to define the composite fracture corridors. A sector model with the aforementioned architecture was used in reservoir simulation to investigate induced temporal and spatial drainage. These findings were used to explain the efficacy of widely used refracturing techniques and how post-refracturing reservoir response can be analyzed. Results from reservoir simulation showed remaining reserves were in the matrix between earlier placed hydraulic fractures aligned along initial perforation clusters, and beyond tips of hydraulic fractures. Upside from refracs could come from creation of new fractures in the matrix between earlier placed fractures and extension of tips of early fractures into virgin matrix. Assessment of these scenarios found the former to be optimal although depletion and existing perforations would limit the stimulation efficiency of new perforations. The second scenario would require large volumes of fracturing fluid to re-initiate fracture propagation. Yet this could trigger interference with offsets or affect drilling and stimulation of planned wells in adjacent acreage. For treatment efficiency, re-casing horizontal wells with competent liners and use of coiled tubing with straddle packers appears a better solution for bypassing old perforations. For the near wellbore and far field, re-stimulating new perforations at low injection rates could allow extension of fractures in virgin matrix surrounded by depleted strata. Real-time surveillance would be essential for mapping flow paths of refracturing fluid. For assessment of refracturing, actual and simulated flow exhibited persistent linear flow (PLF) that could be matched by Arps hyperbolic equation with a b value of 2. Incorporation of a novel fracture geometry factor (FGF) yielded an Arps-based equation that was tested on North American shale refracturing cases that often use post-treatment peak rate and wellhead pressure as measures of success. This study identified factors hindering the success of refracturing and proposed a modified Arps hyperbolic equation to analyze refracturing production data.","PeriodicalId":11024,"journal":{"name":"Day 4 Wed, December 01, 2021","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86831916","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}

The studied formations from bottom to top consist of fluvial to marginal marine X Formation, shallow marine Y Formation, and fluvial distributary channels to estuarine Z Formation. Spectral gamma-ray logs give additional consistent information on lithological composition that can support identification of boundary between formations within the stratigraphic framework.\u0000 Wells with a full section of Y Formation, core, palynology, and spectral gamma-ray were selected as key wells. The top and base of the Y Formation were picked using conventional logs refined by a thorium/potassium (Th/K) ratio log and cross plot with core and palynology data as validations. The internal Y Formation markers were also picked with the aid of the Th/K cross plots. The top picking criteria from the key wells was implemented to the rest of the wells across the field with consistency.\u0000 The uniform low Th/K ratio log (<3.5) across the Y Formation indicates illite as the dominant clay type, confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) data with an average of more than 80%. The character is consistent with the interpreted depositional environment. This character makes the Y Formation stand out from the overlying Z and the underlying X formations. The change from X to Y Formation is defined by the decrease of the Th/K ratio log, from high kaolinite content to illite dominated environment. Inversely, the top of the Y Formation (base of Z) is indicated by the increase of the Th/K ratio log moving from shallow marine Y Formation to the fluvial-influenced Z Formation. The Th/K cross plot indicates different clusters amongst the studied formations and the internal Y zonation. The X Formation is located in the high Th and low K area where kaolinite is predominant, related to fluvial environment. The case is similar for the Z Formation but with more influence of mixed-clay type. The Y Formation shows clear clustering along the mixed-clay and illite window. Internal Y zonation displays, from bottom to top, an increasing K value within the clusters. This method provides a semi-quantitative interpretation to define the studied formations boundaries and the Y Formation internal zonation.\u0000 This study has increased the consistency of the studied formations’ stratigraphic and structural framework.

Studying the water/oil displacement on a smaller scale using core plug imbibition and monitoring with NMR is very insightful in evaluating wettability and distinguishing pore modes and rock types based on their fluid affinity. Extending learnings from plug-scale imbibition process to reservoir production behavior requires understanding of the underlying compositional and/or textural parameters controlling the wettability.\u0000 This paper presents a systematic study of spontaneous imbibition of oil and water in core plugs procured from several tight and organic-rich reservoirs with varying mineral composition and organic content. The experiment comprised three identical core plugs from the same depth undergoing multiple fluid imbibition cycles with one plug starting in produced brine, the second one in produced crude and the last one in decane. Sample weights were continuously monitored and when stable, a sample which was in brine was moved to crude and the one in crude was moved to brine. This process was repeated for four cycles so that samples that started in brine finally ended up in crude and those that started in crude ended up in brine. The saturation changes and rock-fluid interaction in different fluid types were monitored using a 12 MHz NMR spectrometer. The 12 MHz NMR allowed very accurate partitioning of the oil-filled and water-filled porosity in these tight rocks, which was essential for the wettability analysis.\u0000 The rate and extent of saturation changes varied significantly from sample to sample. The comparison between the companion plugs imbibing either higher amounts of oil or water revealed the fluid affinity of each sample. We computed the ratio of the net incremental fluid fraction to the total porosity to represent the dominant pore wetting system for rock samples at a given depth. We measured organic content and mineralogy of the samples and analyzed the matrix effect on wettability. We analyzed the post-imbibition NMR relaxation times (T1,T2) of individual fluid types and integrated with matrix properties to evaluate oil and water mobilities. We found predicted fluid mobilities to be consistent with the observed production from wells drilled in the different reservoirs and rock types.\u0000 We observed most samples attain 100% fluid saturation within two to four cycles and almost all the samples at a given depth took up very similar water volumes irrespective of whether the companion plugs started in brine or crude. The process highlighted that water-wet pores governed the final water saturation, which was strongly correlated with total clay. The amount of organic content and carbonate minerals influenced the oil uptake and its relative mobility.

Managed Pressure Cementing (MPC) is a new technology developed from Manage Pressure Drilling (MPD), which can precisely control the annular fluid pressure profile. Accurate calculation of wellbore temperature and pressure is the key to MPC. This paper focus on coupled models of temperature and pressure for MPC in deep-water region.\u0000 The well cementing process can be divided into two stages: fluid displacement stage and cement setting stage, which displays different characteristics. During the cementing displacement stage, the cement is in a flowable slurry state and is circulated into the annulus. During this process, the rheology of fluids if effected by temperature in wellbore. On basis of the fluid rheology model, a coupled model of temperature and pressure in wellbore is established considering the transient flow characteristics during cementing displacement stage. During cement setting stage, the cement slurry stops flowing and the significant cement hydration reaction starts. A large amount of hydration heat and obvious pressure reduction can be observed. On basis of the cement hydration kinetics model, a coupled model of temperature and pressure in wellbore during cementing setting stage is established.\u0000 Based on the models established in this paper, a series of numerical simulations are conducted using a deep-water well. Simulation results show that neglecting the complicated interactions between temperature and pressure can cause a big error. During the cementing displacement stage, higher temperature in the deep part of wellbore reduces the fluid viscosity, which leads to a smaller friction. On the contrary, larger friction is observed near seabed as a result of the low temperature in deep-water environment. The pressure in wellbore changes frequently due to the coexistence of multiple fluids in wellbore. Therefore, a frequent control of annular fluid pressure is required using the MPC technology. During the cement setting stage, an obvious temperature increase is observed as a result of cement hydration heat. The pressure decreases with the depending of cement hydration. An addition back pressure at wellhead has to be added using the MPC technology. The transient temperature and pressure have impact on the rate of cement hydration in turn. Cement in the deep part of wellbore have a faster rate of cement hydration. The low temperature at mudline slows the cement hydration process.\u0000 Considering the complicated interactions between temperature, pressure, cement hydration and fluid rheology, coupled models between temperature and pressure based on hydration kinetics during well cementing in deep-water region is established in the manuscript. The new model established in this paper plays an important role in the MPC technology.","PeriodicalId":11024,"journal":{"name":"Day 4 Wed, December 01, 2021","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88320294","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}
