The method enhances the production rate of water-free oil while eliminating hydrocarbon contamination of produced water. The new method was used in a Wilcox sand in North Louisiana to resolve the problem of excessive water cuts experienced in conventional wells. Typically, for a conventional well in this area, a water problem would develop in 60-90 days after the beginning of oil production. The excessive water cut would cause a reduction of the oil rate from 35 BOPD initially to 12 BOPD with 97% water cut. In this application a new well was drilled through the oil and water columns and dual-completed in both zones. The water-drainage completion (gravel packed) was isolated from the oil completion with a packer and 3-1/2 inches tubing. A downhole progressive cavity pump lifts the water in the tubing, while the formation pressure drives the water-free oil up the annulus between the tubing and 711 casing. To date, after 12 months of production, the oil production rate is averaging 45 BOPD, water-free. Mathematical modeling was used to help in the design of the completion. Shownmore » in this paper is a computer-generated analysis of the drainage-production system`s performance. The analysis helped to determine the oil and water rates and geometry of the well`s completion. Chemical analysis of water produced in the new method shows minimal contamination with polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), 11 parts per billion. This is an over 50-fold reduction compared to PAR contamination of water produced conventionally. Also, no contamination with oil and Grease was measured with a detection limit of 2 mg/1.« less","PeriodicalId":249085,"journal":{"name":"SPE Advanced Technology Series","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114331719","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}

It is estimated that between 300,000 and 1,000,000 tons of NORM scale are produced each year. In addition, scale deposition in producing facilities negatively impacts rates of production and is expensive to treat and remediate. The most common NORM containing scale is BaSO{sub 4}, or barite. This paper presents the results of a Gas Research Institute study that investigates the causes of NORM scale formation and mitigation techniques employed in the field. Chemical threshold scale inhibitors are generally employed to inhibit scale formation in production systems. However, there is little agreement on which scale inhibitor is most effective with respect to differing water chemistries, temperatures and conditions encountered. Results using a GRI patented inhibitor evaluation apparatus can be used to determine the most effective inhibitor for a specific field application. Work in the Michigan Basin presented in the last conference indicated that a phosphinopolycarboxylate was most effective against NORM barium sulfate scale formation at low temperatures in relatively fresh water. Further work in this study identifies phosphonates as being more effective in the higher ionic strength (TDS) waters and higher temperature regimes thatmore » can be expected in the Gulf Coast. A matrix of ionic strength and temperatures with inhibition response is presented. Although more NORM fields were studied, two are presented in detail.« less","PeriodicalId":249085,"journal":{"name":"SPE Advanced Technology Series","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127780223","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}

Test Method for "Actual" True Vapor Pressure of Crude Oils 原油“实际”真蒸汽压的试验方法

Henderson","doi":"10.2118/29740-PA","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2118/29740-PA","url":null,"abstract":"Currently, the vapor pressure of crude oil is primarily controlled through Reid Vapor Pressure testing (ASTM D-323-90) from both a commercial product and environmental air emissions standpoint. Environmental regulations do require a further estimation of the True crude oil vapor pressure from the Reid test results via a nomograph relationship contained in API 2517. The true vapor pressure of a given oil or fluid is of interest because it defines the point of vapor initiation (i.e., the boiling point or bubble point). The quantity of such oil vapors is of course directly related to product losses and environmental air emissions. However, the MITRE Corporation in support of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve Crude Oil Quality program has found the Reid test even in combination with the API 2517 adjustment for 'True vapor pressure to give 50% to even 300+% errors in the determination of a crude oil's actual true vapor pressure. MITRE therefore developed a test method and calculation algorithm that substantially improves the determination of a crude oil's actual true vapor pressure. The method involves use of a device to 1) analyze the composition of gas separating from a liquid oil stream at a known pressure and temperature, 2) measure the rate of gas and oil flow exiting the same gas/oil separator, and 3) use the described test data in an iterative calculation algorithm with industry-established gas/liquid equilibrium values to estimate the crude oil's vapor pressure within +/- 2% (or 0.3 psia). This test method provides a characterization of the oil's composition which allows prediction of vapor pressure and even air emissions quantification over the full temperature range of interest. In addition air toxics existing in the oil (H 2 S, benzene, etc.) have been quantified to the 10 ppm level in the oil as well as in the evolved gases.","PeriodicalId":249085,"journal":{"name":"SPE Advanced Technology Series","volume":"147 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122285949","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 focus was on potential effects on the fisheries of Bass Strait. Produced formation water discharged to the ocean from the Halibut platform, one of the largest Australian oil fields and now the most prolific produced formation water field, was modelled for dilution versus distance from the platform. Characterisation of produced formation water from 10 Bass Strait platforms for chemical constituents and toxicity to local marine organisms was performed. It was found that produced formation water discharged into Bass Strait presents a very low risk to marine organisms due to very low toxicity and very high dilution rates. For the Halibut platform, acceptable acute toxicity concentration can be obtained with dilution of less than 2:1. Actual dilution rates are approximately 30:1 within 10m of the discharge point, and concentrations reach an indicative 'no chronic' toxicity effect within 25m of the discharge point. The plume is also spatially limited and mobile and any organism would be exposed to potentially lethal concentrations of produced formation water for less than about 30 seconds for median current condition.","PeriodicalId":249085,"journal":{"name":"SPE Advanced Technology Series","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128872830","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}

There are no standard sampling and analytical methods established by regulatory agencies for determining emissions from glycol dehydrators, and the methods initially used by the industry showed significant variability in results. To address this lack of methods, the Gas Research Institute (GRI) began an effort to develop measurement methods and emission estimation techniques for glycol dehydrators. Ten methods were evaluated based on the criteria of ease of use, cost, and precision and bias in a series of field experiments at ten sites. The results of the project showed that GRI-GLYCalc should be used to initially screen a large number of units and that atmospheric rich/lean glycol measurements should be made to refine these initial estimates. GRI has also initiated efforts to assist the industry in complying with enhanced monitoring requirements for glycol dehydrators. These enhanced monitoring protocols may be based on using condenser temperatures in conjunction with computer programs such as GRI-GLYCalc.
