However, inconsistency in estimates of volumes of hydrocarbon contained in these deposits has inhibited commercial interest in the deposits. The inconsistency is attributable to the little or no consideration for spatial variability in those studies. This work is therefore motivated by the need for spatially-coherent geomodels leading to reliable volumetric estimates. An existing database of porosity, depth-to-top and thickness attributes of a section of the deposits located at Agbabu is the subject of this work.\u0000 This work conducted exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) as well as empirical variogram estimation, interpretation and modeling of the attributes. Here, the estimation and interpretation of empirical variogram faced a number of challenges with potentials to render the estimates uninterpretable, unstable and inconsistent with geologic information. These include presence of spatial outlier data, clusteredness of variogram clouds, data paucity, and irregular distribution of point-pairs on variogram clouds. Spatial outliers were either removed or correlated with existing geologic information. The clusteredness issues were resolved using a machine-learning – aided variogram estimation technique recently proposed. Variogram cloud binning approach was deployed to handle irregular distribution of point-pairs. In attempting to deploy an automatic fitting algorithm, cases of insufficient empirical points leading to lack of convergence were encountered. Such cases were resolved by adopting a combination of manual and automatic fitting approaches.\u0000 Ultimately, this work presents a three-dimensional anisotropic (zonal) porosity variogram model and two-dimensional anisotropic (geometric) models for the depth-to-top and thickness variograms. These models are suitable inputs to spatial interpolation algorithms in generating maps of these volumetric attributes.","PeriodicalId":11110,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Tue, August 06, 2019","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81121237","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}

One commonly used method to achieve this is the scale inhibitor squeeze treatment. The challenge addressed here using modelling is to prolong the squeeze treatment lifetime in heterogeneous reservoirs, thus, reduce the cost per barrel of oil produced, especially in deep offshore and remote locations.\u0000 Key to squeeze life extension is ensuring optimum scale inhibitor retention on rock matrix. Therefore, the inhibitor must contact the reservoir rocks and be distributed amongst the layers in proportion to the expected water production rates per layer, which will be determined by reservoir heterogeneity, system geometry and gravitational effects. These effects are studied for an offshore water flooded reservoir by means of a reservoir simulation model.\u0000 The study reveals that reservoir heterogeneity generally improves inhibitor squeeze treatment performance as measured at surface for the entire well, with more inhibitor being placed in the zones with high permeability-thickness product (kh). However, downhole pressure differentials can result in higher pressure layers being unprotected for longer periods before the inhibitor concentrations for the entire well goes below the Minimum Inhibitor Concentration (MIC).\u0000 The use of diversion techniques is shown by simulation work to improve placement and thus help achieve a successful inhibitor squeeze treatment in all the reservoir layers. However, inhibitor concentrations may remain relatively high in layers that do not produce much water, resulting in some wastage of inhibitor as a penalty for delaying the time before re-squeezing is required.\u0000 The modelling helps understand where scale could occur and the best management strategy for scale prevention or control; identifying the impact of scale; giving insight into the best inhibitor squeeze treatment options and expected performance; and providing input needed for the economic model required for good reservoir scale management.","PeriodicalId":11110,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Tue, August 06, 2019","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84667999","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}

Their key functions include transporting drill cuttings to the surface, cooling and lubrication of drill string, cleaning build-up deposits on drill bits and tools, as well as stabilisation of the borehole and pressure control. Because they are often a complex mixture of different solids and fluids, the rheology of drilling fluids is usually complicated. As a result, they typically exhibit non-Newtonian flow behaviours. While the traditional practice is to use critical velocity to describe the flow regimes of drilling fluids by discriminating between laminar and turbulent conditions, this paper explores the applicability of Reynolds numlber (NRe), which is a more robust and universal dimensionless quantity to characterise flow regimes.\u0000 Models to estimate NRe of drilling fluids are explored for Bingham and power-law types of drilling fluids, including development of models for other non-Newtonian behaviours such as shear-thinning and shear-thickening. More important, the models provide a veritable basis to compare the hydraulic characteristics of a drilling-fluid mixture against its Newtonian counterparts under similar conditions. In addition, these models would facilitate the exploitation of the concept of dynamic similarity to improve the design and benchmarking of the flow characteristics of different drilling fluids in different systems and under diverse conditions. Examples are provided that show the robustness of using NRe as against critical velocity, to identify flow regimes of drilling fluids.\u0000 The applicability of the proposed models and ideas are not limited to drilling fluid hydraulics. The findings are relevant in other areas of transporting non-Newtonian fluids such as polymer for enhanced-oil recovery and multiphase mixtures such as emulsions, waxy crudes and general pipeline transport. Additionally, the principles and insights should be of interest to other industries such as food processing and chemical manufacturing.","PeriodicalId":11110,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Tue, August 06, 2019","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73328311","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}

Expanding the benefit of the downhole sensors is currently driving the need for embracing dynamic data-driven application systems (artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning) and big data tools by Oil and Gas industry to gain competitive advantage. One of the shortcomings for conventional data driven approach is that artificial intelligence (machine and/or deep learning) algorithms are totally decoupled from physics based modeling due to the lack of domain knowledge. As OEM for ESP, we have an industry proven ESP system simulator that can be used to generate training dataset for scalable data driven monitoring of ESP systems. Correct interpretation of temperature and pressure data can lead to improved accuracy of continuous downhole flow performance characteristics and reservoir properties such as static reservoir pressure and productivity index, which are key information to control and optimize ESP-based well production. In this work, a physics-based data driven model and inversion-based methods for model calibration and updating are developed for ESP well monitoring. The model is used as a forward engine and an inversion procedure is then added to interpret the measured data to estimate reservoir pressure, productivity index, downhole multiphase flow rates, and perform production allocation to improve hydrocarbon recovery and mitigate water/gas breakthrough risk. The new modeling framework introduces a fast and accurate forward model that incorporates specific measurements response functions for the physics-based data driven simulation model of permanent downhole gauge data in the ESP wells. Multiple inversion methods are used to interpret the downhole-measured data. Under the assumption of a subsurface multiphase flow model, the inversion approaches estimate well rates, back flow allocation, productivity index and reservoir pressure response specific to a given measurement domain by numerically reproducing the available measurements. The model and estimation techniques are evaluated with field data obtained from multiple wells located in a producing field. Many estimation simulations are performed using various sampling rates of the ESP AutographPC software. The satisfactory predictive accuracy of the physics-based data driven model makes the determination of multiphase flow and reservoir parameters computationally inexpensive, adaptive to operational changes, and suitable for online real-time system implementation.","PeriodicalId":11110,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Tue, August 06, 2019","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87507600","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}

Another approach, an improved approach, is the Fetkovich Type Curve Approach which involves the combination of rate equation and material balance equation for finite systems to obtain rate-time equations for solution-gas drive reservoir using backpressure exponent(n) in place of Arp's decline exponent(b). This improved approach, however, has a number of limitations. First, it is difficult to judge which type curve production data match. It has a lower resolution. Also, the developed cumulative-rate model for the material balance equation form: PR2is linear with Np, tends to give inaccurate result.\u0000 This paper, first, presents a cumulative-rate model using a mathematical approach. Then, the Fetkovich rate-time relationships for both the material balance equation forms: PR2is linear with Np, PR is linear with Np, are transferred into linear relationships(in a log-log plot) by finding the derivative of the natural logarithm of the dimensionless rate(qDd) with respect to the dimensionless time(tDd). Consequently, the type lines are generated and upon about fifty (50) trials, conditions required for optimum workability are presented.\u0000 The developed cumulative-rate model was validated with field data from a reservoir in the Niger Delta. The correlation between forecasted cumulative production and actual production data is 0.99988. Thus, indicating high positive correlation.

The Akpo field, located in the deep offshore Niger Delta, exemplifies a maturing field where these structural connectivity issues are dominant and play significant roles in field development. Structural discrepancies in the crest and flanks of the anticline result in varying water contacts and overpressure differences, affecting connected volumes and sweep efficiency.\u0000 Qualitative fault throw analysis, aided by 4-D monitoring results, show that same faults may be sealing and communicating at difference areas, across reservoir fairways in the deep offshore turbiditic channel complexes, delineated as architectural elements. Shale Gouge Ratio (SGR) helps in further constraining the sealing/leaking impact of fault gouge at a log-scale, such that adjacent well data can be used quantitatively to assess preferential flow paths across and within faults zones.

Many of these wells have been producing for decades and now find themselves in hands of new operating companies of limited resources. There are strong commercial drivers to keep these wells in production through rapidly planned workover operations. The historical records for these wells are poor and in many instances nonexistent, often being no more than a very simplistic A4 completion diagram lacking in details and summary. The basis for design and the history of numerous interventions has long been lost and the focus of new operators is often on only the production casing and the tubing strings. However, it is imperative to consider the full well architecture and construction history because some were design optimized with minimal casing setting 13 3/8\" shallow and completing in 9 5/8\". Worst case consequence of this design approach is well blowout and cratering if the production casing fails with a gas column to surface. A generic case is presented to emphasize the reality of this risk. The risks of extending well life, compounded by change of use in late life are discussed in the context of design validation. The causes and challenge of poor well engineering data are reviewed, to establish the historical norms in not only the Niger Delta but globally. The importance of tracking down data in the well Intervention planning process is emphasized. It is further proposed that controlled, as-built drawings of all wells, which do not omit casing details, lithology, and critical component features such as wellheads casing hanger seals and Xmas tree should be electronically created, cloud stored and used as a basis for well bore integrity analysis prior to undertaking interventions/workovers. An example from a North Sea Development Project is presented. Such a system should also be used to establish which critical barriers exist during the intervention, how they will be validated, and how is evidence captured in order to address the typical human factors which are fundamental in many blowouts. Critically the system should produce accurate well integrity reports during operations to track compliance with the plan.
