Although predicting displacement efficiency inside a full-length pipe is desired by cementing engineers, the attempt of developing a model with both efficiency and accuracy faces challenges. Access to computer simulators for this purpose is limited. Compared with annular flow, the displacement flow inside pipe, although within a simpler geometry and without eccentricity effect, is not simpler in physics, modelling strategy and predictability, because a variety of flow patterns and flow instabilities can develop to create complicated fluid interfaces. In this paper, we present an integrated numerical model developed to simulate displacement flows inside a full-length pipe, which connects an existing annulus model to enable complete displacement simulations of cementing jobs. The model uses three-dimensional grid to solve fluid concentrations with degrees of mixing, and incorporates flow instability detection and flow regime determination. Applied in cementing, the model accounts for effects of pumping rate, well inclination, pipe rotation, fluid densities, rheological parameters and more. This computationally efficient model does not rely on high-resolution mesh as often required by conventional Computational Fluid Dynamics models, thus it is suitable to be implemented in a cementing software for daily use by well cementing engineers. The methodology of the model is discussed in detail in this paper. To validate the model, we examine simulation results against experimental results obtained in our laboratory tests and CFD simulations; acceptable agreement is found under different testing conditions. We also presented two case studies of real cementing jobs with cement evaluation logs compared to simulation results, showing that the model can predict consistent displacement efficiency results.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":19756,"journal":{"name":"Petroleum Research","volume":"9 1","pages":"Pages 1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2096249523000571/pdfft?md5=ca2976643be916a185dd30f3d5887769&pid=1-s2.0-S2096249523000571-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41729239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most challenging part of the OFPW treatment process is the removal of Suspended Solid (SS), Oil & Grease (O&G) and dissolved organics. SS and O&G pose an acute problem to the membrane filtration system by fouling the membrane surface which increases operation & maintenance costs and decreases the life of the membrane. Fouling of the membrane surface is mainly attributed to the presence of low molecular weight aromatic compounds and naphthenic acids in the suspended and dissolved organic compounds. Thus, the removal of these suspended and dissolved organic compounds before membrane filtration proffers a challenge to the researchers. In this research, bioremediation process has been applied to remove the organic compounds and the performance and fouling behaviour of hollow fibre Microfiltration (MF), Ultrafiltration (UF) and Nanofiltration (NF) membranes after the bioremediation process has been analyzed in detail. The level of toxicity was determined by comparing the pollutants with the safe discharge limit for disposal into the environment set by Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), India. The research presents its novelty by using a hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria, <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em> for the Reduction of Organic Loads (ROL) from OFPW of Moran oil field of Upper Assam as a pre-treatment to membrane filtration.

The natural restoration of oil-contaminated soils is a lengthy process; therefore, remediation is often required. The aim of this study is to assess the change in the ecological state of haplic chernozem soil contaminated with oil, fuel oil, and gasoline after remediation. The indicators of soil biological activity, such as phytotoxicity (germination, length of shoots and roots), the activity of oxidoreductase enzymes (catalase and dehydrogenases), and the total number of bacteria were studied. The effects of nitroammophoska fertilizer, sodium humate, biochar, and the biofertilizer “Baikal EM-1” on the ecological state of soils contaminated with oil, fuel oil, and gasoline were studied. Pollution with oil, fuel oil, and gasoline decreased the values of all biological indicators. The most sensitive indicator was the length of radish roots in soils polluted with oil, gasoline, and fuel oil after remediation with nitroammophoska and Baikal EM-1 addition. The length of roots was the most sensitive indicator when remediation was performed with biochar and sodium humate added to soil contaminated with oil and gasoline, and with contamination of haplic chernozem soil with fuel oil, the total number of bacteria was the most sensitive indicator. The most effective ameliorant to phytotoxicity indicators for oil pollution was a 1 D dose of biochar, for fuel oil it was 1 D biochar and 2 D sodium humate, and for gasoline it was a 2 D dose of biochar and Baikal EM-1. All ameliorants at most of the studied doses increased dehydrogenase activity, but increased catalase activity only in some cases. An increase in the total number of bacteria in oil-contaminated soils was promoted by biochar and nitroammophoska at a dose of 2 D. Nitroammophoska was the most effective in ameliorant in soils contaminated with fuel oil; in soils polluted with gasoline, all doses of ameliorant increased the number of bacteria equally. The stimulating effect of ameliorants on biological activity of oil-contaminated haplic chernozem were in the following sequence: nitroammophoska > biochar > sodium humate > Baikal EM-1.
