Dunne, Lei Zhao","doi":"10.2118/207902-ms","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2118/207902-ms","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 Commercial lithium oxyhalide batteries have a very flat voltage curve. It is challenging to determine a battery's remaining capacity during and after powering downhole drilling tools. It is wasteful and environmentally hazardous to dispose of lightly used battery packs. Through innovations in battery cell design and electrolyte formulation, laboratory cells showed multiple voltage plateaus allowing easy estimation of remaining capacity at room temperature. Prototyped DD-size batteries validated the unique feature at high temperatures. If the batteries are used in downhole drilling and measurement tools, non-productive time may be shortened, and costs reduced over time.\u0000 Small coin cells were assembled in an inert argon gas filled glovebox. The assembled coin cell, lithium metal foil disk, carbon electrode, and other cell components were weighted to determine electrolyte weight accurately. Carbon black electrodes were prepared by coating carbon black paste on nickel foam substrate. After overnight air drying, coated nickel foam was hot pressed to 1 mm thickness at 230 °C. DD-size cells were prototyped at a battery vendor with selected cell configurations. Performance of coin cells and prototyped DD-size cells were measured during constant current discharge tests.\u0000 Discharge voltage curves of baseline coin cells mimicking commercial battery products were flat at 3.4 until sudden voltage crash at the end of discharge. Coin cells OP-33 and OP-36, with the improved design and electrolyte formula, showed two main voltage plateaus. The higher voltage plateau was around 3.85-3.60 V, and the lower voltage plateau was around 3.50-3.40 V. The sharp voltage transition from 3.60 V to 3.50 V was easy for a user or a battery management system to detect. Capacity percentage in the higher voltage plateau and the lower voltage plateau depends on the energy active chemical compositions of electrolyte. A cell design and electrolyte formulation were selected to prototype scaled-up DD-size cells. Three repeating DD-size cells were discharged at 150 °C. The overall sloping voltage curves and the obvious voltage transition between two discharge stages around 3.5 V can greatly facilitate battery capacity estimation.\u0000 As of today, there is no commercial high temperature lithium oxyhalide primary battery with such a unique feature of staged and sloping battery voltage shape for capacity estimation. Compared to capacity estimation by charge counting method utilized in some battery monitoring chips, capacity estimation based on voltage change is much simpler, more accurate, and consumes less battery energy without needs of frequent current measurement and charge calculation. Any previously lightly discharged battery pack can be easily determined whether further usage is possible for the next downhole tools power application, which saves cost and reduces battery waste.","PeriodicalId":11069,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Tue, November 16, 2021","volume":"156 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73993565","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 line with ADNOC Digital transformation and waterflood excellence initiatives CRM and Optimization technology has been progressed to maximize opportunities in oil recovery increase. The optimization means that producing well delivers a maximum amount of oil with minimal water production along with maintaining proper Voidage Replacement Ratio (VRR) to support reservoir pressure. To reach such goal, the optimization procedure needs to run multiple rate scenarios to calculate the objective function value. The conventional way is to perform multiple runs on simulation model, which can be very time-consuming. The data driven approach described in this paper suggests faster and convenient methodology to solve this problem.\u0000 The process applied to this approach consists of data preparation/ data cleansing stage, CRM (Capacitance Resistance Model) and optimization procedure based on the objective function with a penalty to imbalanced VRR at the pattern level. The CRM algorithm can calculate fraction of injection distributed from each injecting well to connected producing wells at any timestep. These calculated injection allocation factors are considered in the rate optimization procedure in order to define optimal injection and production rates along with balancing of VRR at the pattern level. The method also considers 3-phase flow across wells and reservoir intervals. The objective function calculates overall profit from oil production, costs for water and gas handling, and the penalty for the production injection difference at the producing well level. At the end, the output of this optimization process is to recommend production and injection rates targets for each well and short term forecast of the production based on fractional flow model.\u0000 The data driven approach shows quite good efficiency in terms of time and efforts, the injection allocation factors based on CRM model are comparatively same as it is calculated in streamline simulation model but with better granularity at the pattern level. The optimization procedure works quite fast, and the results have shown decrease of water production rate and increase of recovery factor due to maintaining VRR close to the target level.\u0000 The data driven approach described in the paper implements a new way to apply CRM in fields with waterflooding and gas injection with the enhancement of managing 3-phase flow. The in-house developed optimization function and its implementation is a novel approach in terms of practical application to the fields in Abu Dhabi area.","PeriodicalId":11069,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Tue, November 16, 2021","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74074139","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}

These single production and injection laterals are completed in excess of 20,000 ft on top of tens of thousands feet of drilled well path to reach the drain landing point. These laterals have a dual purpose, as in addition to reservoir appraisal, is to maximize the productivity and injectivity in an on-going development of a tight carbonate reservoir.\u0000 The well planning process starts from a careful selection of reservoir target coordinates to maximize the oil in place being developed from the artificial island and to enable reservoir testing and appraisal. From this data, initial 3D well designs are generated based on island location and rig capability to ensure ability to drill and run completion to total depth. The generated well tracks are used in a reservoir model to forecast production uplifts and inflow/outflow profiling along laterals. A strategic drilling step-out program has been implemented to extend drilling reach and completion deployment incrementally along with a reservoir surveillance program. The program was designed with built-in risk mitigations for any potential drilling and completion issues. The implemented program has enabled drilling into new areas and testing the reservoir properties at a small incremental cost of extending horizontal laterals. This has led to huge cost savings versus a very expensive appraisal program from a wellhead platform that included drilling a new well in addition to topside facility changes and pipelines conversions along with associated maintenance costs. The data gathered from these wells have enabled reduction of geologic uncertainty and de-risking of future developments. As a result, the field development footprint of developed oil resources was extended by additional 20% without the requirement of building additional drilling structures. Additionally, there is a well count reduction via lateral extension thus leading to capital costs saving. There were initial challenges encountered during lower completion deployment but they were resolved successfully in subsequent wells. An outcome of this strategy was the successful drilling of maximum reservoir contact wells with tens of thousands feet of drilled well path to reach the drain landing point and then with single horizontal drains exceeding 20,000 ft. The drilled wells resulted in unprecedented records in UAE and globally in terms of well total length, horizontal drain length and completion deployment.","PeriodicalId":11069,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Tue, November 16, 2021","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77277685","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}

Parallel with the development of equipment and system lists, the process of building maintenance job plans starts. Tools, such as criticality assessment, are used to identify the type of engineering deliverable from which the maintenance job plan is built. For a large majority of equipment and systems, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) recommended or fleet inspection, maintenance and testing (IMT) plans are adequate. For a smaller subset, more detailed plans leveraging risk-based inspection (RBI) and reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) concepts are developed building a regime of preventative maintenance focused on data collection in the commissioning and early operation of the facility. For an extremely limited subset of equipment, mostly machinery, but could include pipelines, electrical and product analyzers, the most detailed plans are developed which are highly specific to a particular equipment tag.\u0000 Criticality assessment is commonly cited as a core process for prioritization of RBI/RCM plan development initially with spare parts inventories and work management later in the life cycle. International standards such as ISO 14224, Petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries — Collection and exchange of reliability and maintenance data for equipment, provide a framework for asset hierarchy and taxonomy which will prove to be important during the operating phase of the life cycle where surveillance and corrective maintenance data will be leverage to optimize maintenance job plans. ISO 14224 refers to IEC 60812, Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA and FMECA), for treatment of Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Assessment (FMECA). To a large extent, ISO 60812 leaves determination of the variables to drive criticality assessment up to the operator saying only that two or more variables should be used. Variables used commonly include consequence of failure, but also maintainability and complexity. Benchmarks for criticality assessment suggest about 10% of equipment merits identification as critical (reference needed). Criticality is important as a foundation to integrity management as work linked to primary function carries an inherited technical characteristic of the equipment and systems. Over time, additional equipment and systems will be added (or removed) from critical equipment lists through continuous improvement processes such as root cause failure analysis (RCFA).\u0000 With the prioritization of developing maintenance plans through fleet and RBI/RCM processes and their resultant deliverables defined, the detailed plans are identified through collaboration of technical, maintenance and operations staff specialists.

We image multiphase flow at the pore scale through three displacement experiments conducted on water-wet outcrop rock with variable spreading tendencies. The experiment has been formulated to observe the relationship between fluid spreading, phase saturations, and pore-scale displacement mechanisms.\u0000 We provide exhaustive evidence of the three-phase fluid configurations that serve as a proxy mechanism assisting the fluid displacement process in a three-phase system, which includes the oil sandwiches in-between water and gas, the flow of oil via clay fabrics, and the double-displacement process that generates oil and water film in 3D pore spaces. Further, we show evidence that the stable thin-oil film has enhanced the gas trapping mechanism in the water-wet rocks. We observed that the oil layer had covered the isolated and trapped gas blobs, enhancing their stability. As a result, the trapped gas in the positive and zero spreading systems is slightly higher than in the negative spreading system due to a stable oil film.\u0000 We analyze the Euler characteristic of the individual fluid phases and the interface pair of the fluids during waterflooding, gas injection, and chase water flooding. The comparison of the Euler characteristic for the connected and disconnected fluid phases between three different spreading systems (i.e., positive, zero, and negative) shows that the oil layer's connectivity is highest in the positive spreading system and lowest in the negative spreading system.

Recently, few studies investigated combining foams and gels into what is commonly coined as foamed-gels. Foamed-gels have been tested and shown to be potential for some field conditions. Yet, very limited studies were performed for high temperature and high salinity carbonates. Therefore, in this work, we study the potential of foamed-gels for high temperature and high salinity carbonates. The objective is to evaluate the potential of such synergy and to compare its value to the individual processes.\u0000 For that purpose, in this work, we rely on bulk and core-scale tests. Bulk tests were used for initial screening. Wide range of foam-gel solutions were prepared with different polymer types and polymer concentrations. Test tubes were hand shacked thoroughly to generate foams. Foam heights were then measured from the test tubes. Heights were used to screen foaming agents and to study gelant effects on foamers in terms of foam strength (heights). The effect of foamers on gelation was evaluated through bottle tests. Based on the results, an optimal concentration ratio of gelant to foamer was determined and used in core-scale displacements, to further study the potential of this hybrid foam-gel process.\u0000 Bulk results suggested that addition of the gelant up to a 4:1 foam to gel concentration ratio resulted in sufficient foam generation in some of the polymer samples. Yet, only two of the foam-gel samples generated a strong gel. Increasing the foamer concentration delayed the gelation time and in some samples, the solution did not gel. Through the coreflooding experiment, resistance factor (RF) and residual resistance factor (RRF) were obtained for different conformance control processes including foam, foam-gel, and gel. Foam-gel injection exhibited higher RF and RRF values than conventional foams. However, conventional gels showed even higher RF and RRF values than foam-gels.\u0000 Combining two of the most widely used conformance control methods (foams and gels) can strike a balance. Foam-gel may offer a treatment that is deeper and more sustainable than foams and on the other a treatment that is more practical, and lower-cost than gels. Our laboratory results also demonstrate that such synergetic conformance control can be achieved in high salinity and high temperature carbonates with pronounced impact.","PeriodicalId":11069,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Tue, November 16, 2021","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78590525","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 Arab formation in UAE exhibits different degrees of invasion primarily observed in the nuclear and resistivity measurements. This study utilizes tool physics, rock properties, logging time information, and drilling fluid properties, to model invasion corrected log responses and estimate accurate petrophysical properties.\u0000 Drilling mud filtrate invasion is observed significantly in all wells drilled in the Arab formation in UAE, affecting both wireline and LWD logging tools. Most of the pilot vertical wells appear to be at residual saturations near the wellbore, where drilling mud filtrate invaded deep into the formation and the radial zones near the wellbore are expected to be completely flushed by the filtrate. Drilling mud invasion in the laterals appears to happen early during the drilling phase affecting LWD tool as well, and the measurement becomes function of the time after drilled, affecting mostly nuclear measurements (density and neutron). Clear understanding of the mud filtrate invasion is required to obtain valid petrophysical interpretations.\u0000 To characterize these effects, two invasion indexes are estimated and used as inputs for the petrophysical model.
