This research focuses on optimization of desulphurization using oxidative method for higher yields, utilizing dual acetic/formic acid catalyst on residual oil with sulphur concentration > 0.50%wt and emphasizes the improvement of physicochemical properties primarily suitable for use in fuels where regulation is becoming more stringent. The process was conducted using H 2 O 2 oxidant concentration 12.5-25.0% (w/w), CH 3 COOH/HCOOH acid catalyst mixture 12.5-22.0% (w/w), and reaction temperature 40-60°C. Optimization of the desulphurization parameters was done using response surface methodology based on Box-Behnken design. The optimum yield of desulphurization (60.93%) was achieved at the oxidant 18.75% (w/w), acetic/formic mixture of 17.25% (w/w), and reaction temperature of 50°C. In general, the experimentally confirmatory figures in two solutions of 63.29 ± 0.47% and 61.04 ± 0.13% match the predicted values of 62.82% and 60.91%, respectively. The total sulphur content in residual oil was reduced from 0.67 to 0.26%wt. GC-MS of the untreated sample confirm the presence of 1,2-benzisothiazole,3-(hexahydro-1H-azepin-1-yl)- 1,1-dioxide, Nickel(II)bis(N,N-dihexyldithiocarbamate and Diethyl[3-[n-octadecylmercapto]-P-n-butyl-anilino methy lene] malonate with a total percentage peak area of 11.83%. In the treated sample shows no sulphur compounds. The physicochemical analysis for both treated and untreated residual oil according to ASTM were found to be within acceptable limit except sulphur content of untreated sample. After the desulphurization, treated residual oil shows a remarkable improvement in the physicochemical parameters. Hence can be applicable in industrial process and automobiles with very low sulphur emission.","PeriodicalId":16717,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81908690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Diagnostic ratios of terpanes indicated relatively low abundances of C 23 , C 28 and C 29 tricyclic terpanes, low abundances of homohopanes, a significantly high abundance of oleanane and that the Niger Delta crude oils were derived from terrestrial organic matter source rocks deposited in an oxic environment during the Tertiary period. Multivariate oil-oil correlation plot showed the Western and Central Niger Delta crude oils are not distinct, but moderately related (genetically). However, diagnostic ratios of C 24 tetracyclic terpane, which was high and moderate and gammacerane, which was low and high, revealed crude oils from Western Niger Delta were derived from predominantly terrestrial source and crude oils from Central Niger Delta were derived from terrestrial source with input from marine organic matter, respectively.

Then, the transverse combination of rocks was innovatively used to simulate a situation of soft-hard interbedded formation, forming three kinds of transversely combined heterogeneous rock samples with different degrees of heterogeneity. We conducted a series of laboratory rock-breaking experiments and the experimental results indicate that rock heterogeneity greatly impacted vibration acceleration, lateral bending moment, rate of penetration<span><span>, and drilling trend. With the increase in weight on bit and rotation speed, the rate of penetration gradually increases. However, the tangential, axial, and radial vibration acceleration amplitude of the bit all increase simultaneously, which implies that the vibration impact generated by rock-bit interaction increased. The difference in the cutting depth of the drill bit in the heterogeneous formation causes low efficiency. The stronger the heterogeneity, the lower the rate of penetration. Rock heterogeneity, especially the rock properties of the combined rock samples, significantly impact acceleration and lateral bending moment. As rock heterogeneity increased, the bit acceleration increased significantly, intensifying the bit vibration; the lateral bending moment increased slightly, but its fluctuation intensified. The strength difference of heterogeneous rock causes eccentricity, the harder rock exerts greater force on the bit, causing the bit to deviate from the original trajectory. The greater the difference, the greater the eccentricity, consequently, the more the bit shifts to the softer side.

It is therefore essential for the petroleum industry to find an innovative approach that exploits the existing core- and well log data to be successful in their endeavor of effectively characterizing and predicting reservoir quality. Continuous data sources (e.g. wireline logs) have a huge potential compared with expensive, time inefficient and sporadic data from cores in determining reservoir quality for use in a regional context. However, whereas core analysis offers in-depth knowledge about rock properties and diagenetic processes, continuous data sources can be difficult to interpret without a formation-specific framework. Here, we demonstrated how the pre-existing core data could be effectively used by integrating petrographic- and facies data with a pure predictive machine learning (ML) based porosity predictor. The inclusion of detailed core analysis is important for determining which reservoir parameter(s) that should be modeled and for the interpretation of model outputs. By applying this methodology, a framework for deducing lithological and diagenetic attributes can be established to aid reservoir quality delineation from wireline logs that can be used in frontier areas. With the ML porosity model, a Random Forest Regressor, the square of the correlation was 0.84 between predicted- and helium porosity test data over a large dataset consisting of 38 wells within the Stø Formation across the SW Barents Sea. By integrating the continuous ML porosity logs and core data, it was possible to differentiate three distinct bed types on wireline log responses within the Stø Formation. Particularly, the relationship between Gamma ray (GR) and porosity was effective in separating high porosity clean sand-, low porosity cemented clean sand and more clay and silt rich intervals. Additionally, in the P-wave velocity (VP) - density domain, separation of high porosity clean sand- and heavily cemented low porosity clean sand intervals were possible. The results also show that the ML derived porosity curves coincide with previously published and independent facies data from a selection of the wells included in the study. This demonstrates the applicability of the model in the region, because the Stø Formation has been described to exhibit similar lithological- and mineralogical properties over large parts of the Western Barents Sea area. Even though, continuous porosity data could be estimated from other sources like VP, neutron or density logs, this would generally require matrix and fluid information.
