The effective development of such deposits is possible only on the basis of adequate and sufficiently accurate models. The construction of detailed and high-precision models of complex deposits is impossible without a comprehensive analysis of all types of geological and geophysical information, and in some cases, the physical and chemical properties of reservoir fluids. The aim of the study is to clarify the geological structure of the PK19 2 formation of the Beregovoye field through a comprehensive analysis. The use of an expanded well logging, predictive maps of effective thicknesses and sandiness according to seismic data and the justification of an increased set of regional and local benchmarks made it possible to clarify the area of hydrocarbon distribution and show that the deposit is not a single one, but consists of three hydrodynamically separated deposits. The lithological differentiation of the deposits is indirectly confirmed by a significant difference in fluid contacts. The discrepancy between the contacts of the northern and southern deposits is 6 m. An analysis of the physico-chemical properties of reservoir fluids has shown that the northern and southern deposits are saturated with condensates of different types and significantly different densities. The results of the work have enabled the following conclusions to be drawn: firstly, the structure of the PK19 2 formation deposits of the Beregovoye field has been clarified and detailed; secondly, the reserves have been clarified; and thirdly, it has been demonstrated that the condensate density of the northern deposit is such that setting condensate reserves on the state balance and their extraction from this deposit are economically impractical.","PeriodicalId":240239,"journal":{"name":"Oil and Gas Studies","volume":"41 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141660343","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 main focus of the study is to identify all the influencing factors that catalyze the wear of the production string metal, as well as to develop methods for protecting wells, taking into account the identified source of the causes. The tasks set in this article are solved by applying statistical analysis, geological analysis, and field analysis of well data.

The geological and field analysis of well data was conducted using the RN-KIN software package. The corrosion rate was simulated in Microsoft Excel using the VBA programming language. The study represents a comprehensive analysis of the production well stock, which has enabled the root causes of the emergence and development of corrosion processes to be identified.

The Turonian reservoir is characterized by low permeability, abnormally high initial reservoir pressure and abnormally low temperature. The obtained data can be used to clarify the geological structure of the field during further development of the deposit. When conducting gas-hydrodynamic studies in the production well, a depth gauge was lowered into the observation well together with hydrostatic listening. The response obtained in the well that was reacting well to stop the well that was perturbing indicates the hydrodynamic connection between the wells. The formula for determining the survey radius was used to calculate the average effective permeability between the wells. When the permeabilities determined according to gas-hydrodynamic studies and observation well testing were compared, it was noted that the data converged.

The water content in wells' production at the Kamennoye subsoil area is 52-55 %. Furthermore, further extraction will result in an increase in the water cut. One of the key challenges facing subsoil users is to minimise the negative impact of water disposal into the absorbing horizon.In the course of the study, the following tasks were solved: assessment of the natural geological and hydrogeological conditions of the Aptian-Albian-Cenomanian hydrogeological complex, analysis of the stability of the hydrogeochemical indicators of the groundwater in the complex based on the results of monitoring studies (since the 1960s), assessment of the compatibility of the produced water and the formation water by calculating the carbonate equilibrium of the system. The obtained solution of each of the above tasks indicates the rationality of using the Aptian-Albian-Cenomanian hydrogeological complex for the disposal of produced water.

The evaporation of fuel during the filling and storage of fuel in tanks is the primary cause of product loss, which results in economic damage and environmental pollution. The lack of scientifically substantiated technical solutions to prevent fuel losses means that it is not possible to completely eliminate fuel losses. The objective of this article is to develop a control system for a fleet of horizontal tanks that minimizes fuel losses. The development is based on a study of the factors affecting the volume of evaporation, which are divided into three categories: those that can be controlled, those that cannot be controlled, and those that can be controlled and influenced. The result is a schematic solution of the automated control system that performs condensation of fuel vapours evaporating in the process of tank farm operation, and also determines the priority of tank use depending on the value of vapour pressure in them. This makes it possible to reduce fuel losses by a factor of five.","PeriodicalId":240239,"journal":{"name":"Oil and Gas Studies","volume":"36 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141122265","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 process of ionic modification involves creating a near-surface layer of material with a high dislocation density due to implantation effects. This inhibits destructive processes caused by corrosive oxidation or mechanical influences. In this work, using the ion modification method to improve the resistance to high temperature corrosion, the authors modified nitride coatings of the order of 500 nm thick. The main purpose of using the ion modification method was to increase the strength characteristics of nitride coatings against high-temperature corrosion, as well as to reduce the effects of coating degradation to mechanical softening and wear after corrosion tests. In the course of the studies, it was found that the use of low-energy irradiation with O2+ ions (40 keV) leads to an increase in the stability of strength characteristics during high-temperature corrosion (with prolonged heating in an oxygen-containing environment at a temperature 700 °C), as well as a decrease in wear in comparison with unmodified nitride coatings applied to the surface of 316L steel. The promise of these studies lies in the development of new methods for modifying steel structures, which will improve the efficiency of resistance to corrosion and mechanical damage, as well as increase the wear resistance of the surface under external mechanical influences. The possibility of increasing stability due to deformation inclusions caused by implantation makes it possible to increase corrosion resistance by increasing the resistance of materials to high-temperature oxidation.","PeriodicalId":240239,"journal":{"name":"Oil and Gas Studies","volume":"15 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141119976","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}

In this regard, the article presents a preventive method to struggle against the formation of gas hydrate deposits on the pipes inner walls associated with the supply of a hydrate formation inhibitor to the gas stream. The research was conducted on the basis of a mathematical model of the wet hydrocarbon gas flow in a horizontal pipeline. The research object is to determine the minimum required consumption of methanol, in which there is no formation of gas hydrate deposits on the channel inner walls. The practical significance of this study is that it is aimed at reducing the risks associated with the formation of gas hydrates in pipelines. The numerical implementation of a mathematical model of natural gas flow in a horizontal channel is based on a sequential solution of a system of four differential equations by the Runge-Kutta method of 4 orders of accuracy, followed by a search for sequential approximations of the minimum inhibitor flow rate, in which the \"gas + water ↔ gas hydrate phase\" transition process does not occur on the inner surface of the channel. The article presents a calculation of the proportion of a hydrate formation inhibitor in the liquid phase by solving a cubic equation using the Cardano method. Based on the computational experiments results, graphs were constructed and interpreted of the dependencies of the minimum inhibitor consumption on the soil temperature, inlet gas pressure, total water concentration in the gas flow, initial gas temperature and total gas flow rate.","PeriodicalId":240239,"journal":{"name":"Oil and Gas Studies","volume":"46 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141121936","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}
