{"title":"A Method to Obtain a Permeability - Constrained and Consistent Saturation Height Model","authors":"I. Hulea","doi":"10.2118/193164-MS","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2118/193164-MS","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 The process of differentiating between rock volumes based on petrophysical properties and geological indicators is commonly referred to as rock typing. A rock type can be identified by a given porosity – permeability (k-Phi) transform and Saturation Height Model (SHM) in petrophysical space. Rock typing is a useful method by which geological interpretations are combined with petrophysical measurements and translated into physical space for use in subsurface modelling. Efforts here involve utilizing k-Phi transforms as an input to SHM, thereby streamlining the rock typing process and allowing for compatibility with existing rock typing workflows.\u0000 A fundamental part of building realistic subsurface models includes populating a geologic framework with petrophysical properties. From a petrophysical point of view, critical properties with significant impact on the modelling outcome (hydrocarbon volumes recoverable and producibility) are hydrocarbon saturation, permeability and relative permeability. Hydrocarbon saturation is an expression of the rock capillarity translated into a mathematical expression from capillary pressure measurements or well log saturations. Permeability is commonly predicted from porosity, via transform equations used to differentiate reservoir rocks of different quality.\u0000 Previous work has shown that permeability and SHM used for subsurface modelling are generally consistent. This implies that the number of input parameters to the SHM can be reduced, which can be done by integrating permeability and saturation data (from logs and core measurements). The number of parameters used in the predictive SHM is reduced from six to four. Here, we propose to constrain the entry pressure (responsible for hydrocarbon entry height) by using routine core analysis data. This approach aiming to look at the plug and log scale has significant benefits when a SHM is derived from well log saturation data or when a limited range in properties is sampled by capillary pressure measurements. The workflow allows the use of other permeability sources (like Drill Stem Test if representative of matrix) as starting point in the process of building a SHM via a simplified Brooks-Corey function. The function can be looked at as a hybrid between the Leverett's J and Brooks-Corey function with entry pressure dependency on the permeability to porosity ratio higher than for Leverett's J (0.7 vs 0.5). The result of linking k-Phi transforms to saturation height modelling allows for compatibility with multiple rock typing approaches that utilize different sorts of parameters to define k-Phi, including Lucia's classic rock fabric numbers, a useful benchmark.","PeriodicalId":11208,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Tue, November 13, 2018","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90291544","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}

Raj","doi":"10.2118/192771-MS","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2118/192771-MS","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 To meet the regulations on the emission of toxic gases such as carbon monoxide (CO) and Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) from the Sulphur Recovery Units (SRUs), a high amount of fuel gas is burnt in the incinerator to oxidize them that increases the sulfur production cost and CO2 emissions. This study investigates the major reactions that cause CO emissions and recommends possible solution to mitigate its formation in the SRU. The SRU simulations were conducted using a well validated and detailed reaction mechanism that captures the chemistry of CO and Sulfur species in the Claus furnace. The Claus reaction mechanism, containing 290 species and 1900 reversible reactions for the oxidation of H2S and the formation and destruction of COS, CO, CO2, hydrocarbons, and CS2 was used for reactor simulations, which was validated successfully using industrial plant data and the experimental data from lab-scale setups. The process parameters were varied to find the set of conditions that minimize CO production in the SRUs. The CO production in Claus furnace occurred through the high temperature decomposition of CO2 and CH4 present in the acid gas stream. The production of COS occurred from the reactions of CO with sulfur. The inlet temperatures of the feed gas streams (air and acid gas) were varied systematically to observe their effect on sulfur recovery and emissions of CO, SO2, COS, and aromatics. Upon decreasing the furnace temperature (by decreasing inlet air temperature) from 1105°C to 1050°C, CO emission from the SRU decreased by up to 60%, while sulfur recovery efficiency increased by 0.2%. However, the emission of aromatics (mainly benzene) increased by 3.5 ppm, while the more detrimental toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene were completely oxidized. Thus, maintaining an optimal feed temperature was found to minimize CO emissions from the SRUs, while maintaining high sulfur recovery. The simulation results predict the cost-effective solutions of minimizing CO and SO2 emissions from SRUs through the variation in process parameters that will help in reducing the consumption of fuel gas in the SRU incinerator.","PeriodicalId":11208,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Tue, November 13, 2018","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89864791","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}

Today advanced monitoring is normally done using real-time measurements, compare pre-simulation results with measurements, perform manual diagnostics and run new simulations when abnormalities are seen. All done manually by people.\u0000 Drilling can move beyond advanced monitoring using Digital Twin's by implementing automatic ‘forward-looking’ and multiple ‘what-if’ simulation to give operations the optimal plan with focus on safety, risk reduction and improved performance.\u0000 The Digital Twin examples in the current paper can do more advanced and complex automatic forecasting simulations, diagnostics, ‘forward-looking’ and ‘what-if’ simulation as well as predictive analytics in the wellbore in the 2D and 3D simulation view.\u0000 By using the advanced models (Digital Twin), all relevant challenges and risks were identified during the drilling operations of one well under high pressure high temperature (HPHT) conditions. The stand pipe pressure (SPP), equivalent circulating density (ECD) and temperature behavior were studied during the drilling and circulation of this well. The Digital Twin was also used to evaluate possible losses during 9 7/8″ casing running and cementing with special focus on when casing was passing through the formations.

The flow rate was adjusted and helped to prevent sidetrack and pack-off due to losses.\u0000 Morover during drilling 17 ½″ section in another case, large losses were prevented by comparing the modeled active pit calculation and measured tank volume.

High differential pressures may lead to several problems like tight holes, wellbore instability, differential sticking and mud loss while drilling across these permeable or fractured formations. It was always preferred to drill these wells with Oil base muds which showed some success. While operators always prefer the standard solution, which is casing isolation for problematic sections, challenges have increased due to continuously drilling in depleted reservoirs which leads to considerable nonproductive time.\u0000 The other solution to overcome such problematic sections was to re-design a fluid system that would target drilling through serious of highly permeable sand and shale formations. The fluid system would primarily address shale inhibition along with effective bridging, minimizing pore pressure transmission and wellbore strengthen with increased hoop stress in the wellbore. Software modelling and permeability plugging tests were performed to evaluate the fluid behavior under downhole conditions and to predict the characteristics of induced micro fractures based on rock mechanics. Porosity, permeability and induced micro fractures were considered to optimize the bridging mechanism. It was identified that normal bridging solutions involving calcium carbonates and graphite material were not enough to address the pore pressure transmission problem. It was essential to include a micronized sealing deformable polymer along with normal bridging material was effective in plugging pore throats and minimizing fluid invasion. The deformable polymer component is able to re-shape itself to fit a broad range of pore throat sizes which was previously unattainable with conventional bridging technology which was confirmed by particle plugging tests.\u0000 A one well was identified to be drilled in highly depleted reservoir at an inclination of almost 45 degrees. The section involving the highly depleted and permeable sand involved drilling highly stressed shale formations which requires high mud weight for their stability. This was the first attempt on a high-angle well with development drilling operations in Kuwait and was performed to facilitate the successful drilling of the reservoir. Drilling and logging were successfully performed along with logging and LWD runs with no recordable differential sticking or losses incidents.\u0000 This paper also presents 2 successful applications in the same field with the application of proper bridging and utilization of deformable sealing polymer to address drilling problems through highly depleted and permeable formations while managing over balance of 3500 psi across them.","PeriodicalId":11208,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Tue, November 13, 2018","volume":"76 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86179716","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 fluid needed to pose minimal formation damage risk while drilling and avoid completion damage through plugging of the standalone sand screen. This required a balance between bridging material content and particle size distribution (PSD), and a low fluid rheology to minimize the equivalent circulating density (ECD). The wide temperature profile and predicted restrictive narrow pressure margin in the well favored the use of a low ECD Non-Aqueous-Fluid (NAF). An organoclay-free NAF solution was selected. To reduce solids loading and ECD further, the fluid was designed with a brine phase that was high-density calcium bromide. Sized ground marble was selected to bridge the largest pore throats (42-μm) in the reservoir sand and still be screened quickly to avoid plugging of the 150-μm 6 5/8-in. standalone sand control production screens. Fluid optimization was achieved through rheology, stability, and formation-damage testing. The return permeability on cores/matched sandstone of >97%, indicated minimal formation damage risk when drilling and after production flowback/solids removal. In the field, the reservoir was drilled without major issue (i.e. no differential sticking, no down-hole losses) and the fluid quickly reached production screen test (PST) specifications prior to running screens. The sand screens were installed without issues. Although the sand section was significantly shorter than planned, the production from ~160 ft of net pay when the well was initially flowed produced as expected. After subsequent tie-in to the host floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit and upon choke opening, a gradual drop in production was observed.

For Phase1 the monitor seismic survey has repeated the geometry of the base survey (parallel shooting) to get started in the best possible 4D conditions. For Phase2 the monitor seismic survey design is a modern source spread acquisition for wide azimuth objective. It is clearly different from the base survey design, and so starts with a worse 4D repeatibility.\u0000 In this paper, we describe the challenges attached to both phases of this pilot and explain how in the end it has been successfully interpreted.\u0000 A focused study is made on a particular 4D anomaly corresponding to an increase of impedance in the reservoir. This is interpreted as the water front movement (due to water injection) during the interval between base and monitor surveys. Petrophysically this is consistent, if water replaces oil in the reservoir then impedance increases. However, 4D interpretation can be ambiguous and other production phenomena can explain impedance increase, so the interpretation must be assessed carefully. This is done through calibration of the interpretation to well data (time evolution of the water cut).\u0000 The final interpretation is robust. Other elements not described in the paper could have been added to consolidate the interpretation like the fact that interpreted 4D anomalies (and so water rise-up) stop vertically on a well known impermeable barrier (anhydrite level).\u0000 Once the 4D signal is calibrated, unexpected phenomena (i.e. heterogeneities not predicted by the reservoir model) are highlighted as potentially providing added value to reservoir understanding. As a deliverable, 4D anomalies are interpreted as 3D geobodies and a water rise-up top surface is picked. This information will be key to position new wells and to update the reservoir model.\u0000 Though 4D seismic techniques are very mature and widely illustrated in clastic reservoir environments, it is still rarely used operationally to monitor carbonate fields.

Recently, possible fatigue failures in casing connections during multistage fracturing operations have also been reported in the literature. These occurrences raised the question of whether casing fatigue is a real problem, even for shale plays. This paper describes fatigue modeling and analysis of the casing connections during fracturing operations to provide additional information about this issue.\u0000 The varying casing temperature and temperature-dependent casing loads were obtained using numerical simulations of cyclic hydraulic fracturing operations, such as end of cementing → shut-in → plug and perforation → stimulation (stage 1) → shut-in → plug and perforation → stimulation (stage 2) etc. These simulations were accomplished using commercial software, including a thermal flow simulator and stress analyzer. The previously simulated casing loads were then used to calculate localized stress amplitude, strain amplitude, and maximum stress. Finally, the localized strain and stress values were used as input parameters of fatigue models to estimate the lifetime (cycles) of selected casing sections.\u0000 The fatigue model was implemented in a computer program and integrated with the thermal flow and stress analysis commercial software, and a field case (shale oil/gas well) was studied with the integrated fatigue simulation. The predicted casing connection fatigue behavior closely correlates with failure field data, and the casing failure location was analyzed and explained in terms of environmental and cyclic stress/strain conditions. The corrosion fatigue appears important for the acidic environment during hydraulic fracturing. The field case study indicates that the fatigue analysis, coupled with numerical thermal-flow analysis and multistring stress analysis, can provide more insight into the failure of casing connections during fracturing operations. Consequently, it is valuable to include fatigue analysis during the wellbore tubular design when multistage fracturing and/or refracturing operations are involved.","PeriodicalId":11208,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Tue, November 13, 2018","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88395353","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}
