Water cut meter's sensor includes measuring and current electrodes, between which there is a well's multiphase flow. Imaginary and real components of the impedance quantitatively describe the component composition of the studied oil and gas-water mixtures. In this process, machine learning methods and developed algorithms for features extraction are used. Depending on the type of emulsion, two independent sensors are used in the oil pipeline, one of which measures in a direct emulsion, the other in an inverse emulsion.\u0000 Tests of the described water cut meter on flow loops in the Russian Federation and in the Netherlands, as well as studies of well flows in oil production facilities in the Russian Federation and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, have shown high measurement accuracy in the full range of water cut, with high gas content, as well as at high salinity and in a wide range of flow rates. To do so, modern methods of data classification based on neural networks and regression modeling implemented using machine learning are employed. It was found that the flow rates of liquid and gas do not affect the results of measuring the water cut due to the high frequency of the impedance measurements - up to 100 thousand measurements per second. Use of in-line multiphase water cut meter makes it possible to apply intelligent methods of processing field information and accumulate statistical data for each well, as a big data element for predicting and modeling in-situ processes. It will also allow to introduce promising production processes aimed at increasing oil production and monitoring the baseline indicators of the well.\u0000 Novelty of the presented technology:\u0000 Solution of the problem of high-speed determination of water cut in a multiphase flow without preliminary separation using impedance metering. Creation of mathematical models of multiphase flow and methods for determining the type of flow and the type of emulsion.

Decreasing wells productivity requires geological and technical measures, where one of the methods is \"blind\" refracturing. Often, only one \"blind\" hydraulic fracturing is carried out for all ports of multistage hydraulic fracturing, the possibility of carrying out two or more stages of \"blind\" hydraulic fracturing is considered in this article.\u0000 The purpose of the article is to increase the productivity of horizontal wells with multi-stage hydraulic fracturing by the \"blind\" refracturing method. A one-stage and two-stage approach was implemented when planning and performing \"blind\" hydraulic fracturing with analysis of treatment pressures, indicating a possibility for reorientation of the fracture during the second stage in a horizontal wellbore.\u0000 Based on the experience of the \"blind\" hydraulic fracturing performed at the Kondinskoye field, \"NK \"Kondaneft\" JSC carried out pilot work on \"blind\" refracturing at four horizontal wells of the Zapadno -Erginskoye field. A geomechanical model was used, built based on well logging and core studies carried out at \"RN-BashNIPIneft\" LLC. The total mass of the planned proppant per well was 280-290 tons, while this tonnage was pumped in one or more stages. A one-stage \"blind\" refracturing approach was successfully performed in one well, two-stage hydraulic fracturing was implemented in three wells, where in one of the wells, after two stages to open ports, initial hydraulic fracturing was also carried out to the last, previously non-activated port. In the case of two-stage hydraulic fracturing, the first stage purpose was to saturate the reservoir-fracture system with the injection of a \"sand plug\" with a high concentration of proppant at the end of the job to isolate the initial injectivity interval, determined based on the interpretation of well logging data and analysis of the wellhead treatment pressure. The second stage purpose was the initiation and possible reorientation of the fracture in a new interval, confirmed by an increase in surface pressure during hydraulic fracturing and instantaneous shut-in pressure.\u0000 This article summarizes the results and lessons learned from the pilot works carried out using the geomechanical model and well productivity assessment before and after \"blind\" fracturing. The analysis of surface pressure based on production data indicating fracture reorientation is presented. The recommendations and accumulated experience presented in this work should increase the effectiveness of repeated \"blind\" refracturing in horizontal wells with multi-stage hydraulic fracturing.","PeriodicalId":11052,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Thu, October 14, 2021","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85614070","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}

There is much research in the world dedicated to the hydrogenation of CO2 to various hydrocarbons, such as methane, lower olefins, long-chain hydrocarbons, formic acid, methanol and higher alcohols, which are produced by catalytic reactions with various mechanisms.

Despite the active development and policy of a decarbonised economy, the demand for liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons remains high, while of inevitably growing the number of mature fields. The Volga-Ural oil and gas province today is an old oil and gas producing region, most of the fields have already entered the final stage of development. However, through the introduction and development of new technologies for oil extraction, monitoring of production and localization of reserves, the life of the fields can be extended. One of these technologies is geochemical monitoring of well production. Its goal is to optimize the development of mature fields on the basis of promptly obtained information about the state of the wells using geochemical studies of the formation fluid, allowing timely implementation of the necessary measures. Geochemical studies allow identifying the source of fluid entering the well, determining a violation in the wellbore structure, checking the tightness of downhole equipment for separate operation, and performing an area analysis of the area development efficiency. This type of research is relevant both in giant fields with a large stock of production wells, often characterized from a geological point of view by multilayer structure, with technological complexity, packing, wear of equipment and strings, in some cases the impossibility of running gauge for research, and in fields with low depletion. The possibilities of geochemistry for solving local operational problems in wells are shown. Several hydrogeological complexes have been studied, the change in the properties of the produced water during the development process is described. The concepts of the geochemical conditions in the hydrocarbon deposits that existed earlier are changing due to the development of these objects as a dynamic system, continuous injection of different types of water into the reservoir, the use of enhanced oil recovery methods and other technogenic impact associated with the development of reserves.
