Accurate estimation of this parameter is important for energy-efficient design of oil and gas pipelines. A survey of the literature revealed that existing prediction models of this parameter were developed based on observation from low viscosity liquids (of 1 Pa.s or less). However, its behaviour in pipes transporting higher viscosity oils is significantly different. In this research work, new data for slug translational velocity in high-viscosity oil-gas flows are reported. Scaled experiments were carried out using a mixture of air and Mineral oil of viscosity ranging from 0.7 to 6.0 Pa.s in a 17-m long horizontal pipe of 0.0762 m ID. Temperature dependence of the oil's viscosity is given as μ=−0.0043T3+0.0389T2−1.4174T+18.141. The slug translational velocity was measured by means two pairs of two fast-sampling Gamma Densitometers with a sampling frequency of 250 Hz. For the range of experimental flow conditions investigated, increase in liquid oil viscosity was observed to strongly influence slug translational velocity. A new predictive correlation incorporating the effect of viscosity on slug translational velocity was derived using the current dataset and incorporating those obtained in literature with oil viscosity ranging from 0.189–6.0 Pa.s for horizontal flow. A comparison by statistical analysis and validation and of the new closure relationship showed a remarkably improved performance over existing correlations.","PeriodicalId":11110,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Tue, August 06, 2019","volume":"161 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75381908","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}

Complex flow behaviour is characterised by tubing diameter and asymptotic flow pattern at the tubing surface where no-slip boundary condition was imposed.

It's very important to define the range of uncertainty in such fields. This is because as the field matures other dynamic data will become available to validate these probable volumes.\u0000 The ideal development scenario provides the practitioner with a full suite of data defining the reservoir geometries, reservoir properties, fluid properties etc. to make subsurface decisions. However, in most cases, operational realities will deny the reservoir practitioner this full suite of data.\u0000 One practical convention that is used to resolve this data paucity challenge is to evaluate and report the lowest possible volume, if this low case is economic the project will be economic with potential for more upside outcomes. However, a challenge that can arise with this is that after several iterations the low case can become the only case. A better practice is to characterize uncertainty of reservoir parameters during the early stages of field development and carry out the full range outcomes through the field's life. These ranges will then be validated as the field matures.\u0000 This paper demonstrates a case in the Niger Delta field A05 reservoir were dynamic simulation model was used to narrow the uncertainty range on the GOC. Proper identification and characterization of the GOC uncertainties helped for the estimate of a range of STOOIP used for dynamic simulation model. Though no static dataset was available to reduce this uncertainty on the GOC, during dynamic simulation, the high-case oil in-place volume was found to be the best match to historical production data with the integration of another reservoir, Delta A12, in one dynamic simulation model. Both reservoirs communicate through the aquifer, separated by a saddle. This then proved up additional volumes in the reservoir, identified previously overlooked reserves and allowed the asset team to propose an extra infill well opportunity than what was previously planned.

Most brown Oil Fields in Nigeria have the problem of limited BHP data. Most fields from 1960 to 1970 are having the problem because they were not properly managed from inception as per their data storage and recording systems. In Nigeria, many farm-out assets to the Marginal Operators from the International Oil Companies are having such challenges and managing such assets is daunting and time-consuming because of limited BHP data. Reservoir management is central to the effective exploitation of any hydrocarbon asset and is heightened for the development of brown fields. The problem of limited BHP data also makes reservoir pressure history matching difficult. This study proposes a workflow implemented on an Excel VBA program for a brown field in Niger Delta region of Nigeria with limited pressure (BHP) data. The program, which was validated, was used to history match the observed field production data, the limited reservoir BHP data, predict reservoir performance and production profile within the specified timeframe. The tool is built on Material Balance Equation which is a zero-dimensional-tank model created for the reservoir. Pressure Volume Temperature (PVT) properties with correlations, fractional flow models and Corey correlation for relative permeability estimates were incorporated in the algorithm. The matched model calculates the likely parameters of the reservoir and aquifer, then the production history calibrates the pressure model. The following approach is used in resolving the problem for the field case study. Production data aggregation; Calibration of PVT laboratory data; Calibration of reservoir pressure model; Development of fractional flow model for the system; Calibration of the reservoir's last production date.\u0000 This approach gives an accurate reservoir pressure history prediction, and also good production forecast in field with limited BHP data.","PeriodicalId":11110,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Tue, August 06, 2019","volume":"89 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74960943","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}

Several studies have been performed on the use of surfactants and polymers injection for enhanced oil recovery. But this study is focused on isolation and characterization of hydrocarbon utilizing bacteria for biosurfactants and biopolymers production. The concept of microbial enhanced oil recovery consists the injection of nutrients to activate indigenous microbes in the reservoir or injection of external hydrocarbon degrading microbes plus nutrients during field applications to ensure the organisms produce the required metabolites. These microbes have the ability to produce gases to increase reservoir pressure and displacement of immobile oil, bio-surfactants to reduce interfacial tension, biopolymer for mobility control, Injectivity profile and viscosity modification, solvent, acid and biomass. In this study, soil samples were obtained from hydrocarbon-contaminated site in Gio, Tai Local Government Area, in Ogoniland, Rivers State, Nigeria. The samples were transferred into a polythene bag, placed in an ice pack, and transported immediately to the laboratory for physicochemical and microbiological analyses such as emulsification index, haemolytic activity and oil spreading technique. 37 isolates were tested for biosurfactant production and 3 of the isolates were selected for biosurfactant production with strong ability to degrade hydrocarbon. The selected microbes (Bacillus sp, Pseudomonas sp and Enterobacter sp) were identified by biochemical characterization and subjected to ranges of temperature, pH, nutrient sources, salinity, and inoculum concentration to determine their optimum reservoir performance conditions. The result shows the optimum parameter ranges for the three microbes: pH 7-8, temperature within 25 – 35°C, salinity within 0.5% - 5%, the result shows that as the inoculum size increases, the more the emulsification index, the best nitrogen source is peptone and the best carbon source for bacillus sp is glucose and glycerol for Pseudomonas sp and Enterobacter sp.","PeriodicalId":11110,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Tue, August 06, 2019","volume":"79 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84835978","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}

However, the industry is beginning to investigate how tools of Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, etc. can be used to improve current industry processes.\u0000 This work aims to study the ability of intelligent models to detect small leaks in a natural gas pipeline using operational parameters such as pressure, temperature and flowrate through existing industry performance metrics (sensitivity, reliability, robustness and accuracy). Observer design technique was applied to detect leaks in a gas pipeline using a regresso-classification hierarchical model where an intelligent model acts as a regressor and a leak detection algorithm acts as a classifier. Five intelligent models (Gradient Boosting, Decision Trees, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine and Artificial Neural Network) were used in this present work.\u0000 Results showed that the Random Forest and Decision Tree models are the most sensitive as they can detect a leak of 0.1% of nominal flow in about 2 hours. All the intelligent models had high reliability with zero false alarm rate in testing phase. However, due to this level of reliability, the models had low accuracy with the Artificial Neural Network and Support Vector Machine performing best and better regressors than the others. All the intelligent models are robust. The average time to leak detection for different leak sizes for all the intelligent models were compared to a real time transient model in literature. The intelligent models had a time savings of 25% to 48%.\u0000 Results in this present work further suggest that intelligent models could be used alongside a real time transient model to improve leak detection.

Sand production refers to the continuous flow of formation grains alongside reservoir fluids during production. It is a problem that is more associated with unconsolidated reservoirs such as those present in the Niger Delta. Some of the problems associated with sand production include stabilization of emulsion, vessel blockage, erosion of vessels and reduction in separation effectiveness (Bibobra et al, 2015) all of which have economic consequences, thus, can render companies bankrupt.\u0000 In a bid to avoid the aforementioned problems, many sand control measures have been developed, however, with increase in effectiveness in handling sand comes a corresponding increase in cost, hence, necessitating a feasibility study to ascertain their viability. Many authors have developed mathematical models useful in predicting sand production in reservoirs. These models have proved to be useful tools in sand control viability studies. Geomechanical parameters like principal stresses have been useful in these models. However, many of these models developed have turned out complex, requiring difficult-to-obtain parameters or having low level of accuracy when compared to observed field data. In this paper, a mathematical model was developed by modifying the work of Oluyemi and Oyeneyin (2010) who developed a simple mechanistic model requiring few and easy-to-obtain input parameters. A simple simulator, named Cassandra, was then designed using Python Programming Language so as to aid the estimation process.\u0000 After validation with field data from different reservoirs, it was found that Cassandra gave results very close to observed field data, in fact, it only possesses about 8% absolute error. The model also performed excellently when compared to existing models. This software, thus, proves to be a valuable tool in any sand production analysis.","PeriodicalId":11110,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Tue, August 06, 2019","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72868049","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 aim of this study was, therefore, to formulate a slow release fertilizer using nutrient-rich, ecofriendly and readily available agricultural and industrial wastes. The formulated fertilizer was coated with a renewable, nontoxic and biodegradable material which was then tested against commercial NPK fertilizer for its effect on hydrocarbon degradation rate. Crude oil polluted soil from an artisanal refining site was used to evaluate the efficiency of the fertilizers. Next-generation sequencing technique was used to determine the microbiome of the oil-polluted soil. Metabolic fingerprints were also determined as remediation progressed. Other parameters monitored were pH, extractable total petroleum hydrocarbons (ETPH), NO3- -N, total phosphate and total potassium. Initial ETPH of the polluted soil was 16,388 mg/kg which reduced to 2,250.21 mg/kg after 56 days of remediation. The formulated fertilizer gradually led to an increase in soil pH from being slightly acidic (5.6) to near neutral (6.9), while the commercial NPK fertilizer led to a further decrease in soil pH. Both fertilizers enhanced degradation without significant differences, however, the formulated fertilizer greatly improved microbial diversity. Proteobacteria, Chloroflexi and Acidobacteria dominated the soil microbiome with Acidocella being the leading bacterial genus. Signature metabolites identified included benzenamine, cyclobutanone, octadecane and hexadecane which were all related to hydrocarbon biodegradation. The study revealed that the formulated fertilizer effectively enhanced the restoration of oil-polluted soils as well as microbial diversity and soil fertility.

The challenge of maximizing hydrocarbon recovery in deepwater completions with minimum investment, while maintaining the highest level of health, safety, and environment (HSE) and service quality is a continual catalyst for new products and service delivery techniques.\u0000 In the operator’s Bonga subsea field, the conventional completions techniques for all open hole standalone screen (SAS) completion installations are performed in multiple trips. The first trip involves running the lower completion including a gravel pack packer with screen assembly which allows a gravel pack packer service tool and an internal string with a pump-thru wash-down capability to enable toe-heel circulation, packer setting, and testing. The internal string, which is comprised of the packer setting tool, internal wash pipe, and accessories, is recovered after completion of the first trip into the open hole reservoir section. The second trip involves running the production tubing, production packer, downhole gauge mandrel, safety valve, and other completions accessories and landing the production string into the lower completion and on the tubing hanger.\u0000 The major objectives and drivers for the innovative open hole single trip stand-alone screen completion (STC-SAS) in a deep offshore environment is basically to save rig costs, use proven and emerging technologies, employ completions best practices, reduce exposure of personnel to safety hazards, and reduce non-productive times (NPT). New completions techniques with different services and product providers could pose a challenge in terms of vendor interface management, equipment compatibility, and procedural integration of multiple downhole tools with different operating boundaries and limits.\u0000 The STC-SAS completions concept in deep water was generated with the operator’s Wells Front End Completion and Well Intervention team in December 2015. This was driven by an opportunity to further reduce well delivery rig time which is at a premium in deepwater subsea completions. The average completions time in the field stood at 10 days per 10,000 ft well. The group was challenged to further improve the well delivery time.
