The simulation of the exploitation of this type of deposits is very complex and requires an individual approach for each case, which is extremely inspiring and interesting, therefore this article attempts to deal with the problem of modeling the extraction of natural gas from tight unconventional deposits. Extraction of tight gas requires the use of measures that stimulate this process and requires an unusual approach both at the stage of deposit recognition, its drilling and exploitation. Using computer programs, more and more accurate models are developed taking into account almost all known processes occurring in the deposits during exploitation, which significantly influences the better selection of parameters of wells and operations that intensify the production, and thus improves the results of exploitation.","PeriodicalId":261652,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geotechnology and Energy","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122939705","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}

Possible aftereffects of accidents happening on wells producing gas or crude oil could be fatal in consequences. Natural dangers such as high pressures, flammable and explosive fluids, H2S content are making every project demanding and special care should be taken when planning works in harsh conditions. There are many services that could be done to ensure long service life of the production wells and they could be done using slickline services. Slickline is usually good first choice to conduct operations on live wells and risks during this work should be analyzed. Safety measures during work are crucial for people and environment safety.

Therefore the main challenge in this region is to stabilize & increase oil extraction by means of exploring more promising oil fields of small size. However, some issues cause difficulties. Firstly, 2D and 3D seismic data often do not provide the reliable mapping of small fields. Secondly, geological prospecting and exploration, along with exploratory drilling, make these works costly. Also, the reserves’ estimation for such deposits often contains errors. Passive seismic is proposed to solve these problems, reducing exploratory and exploitation drilling in cost, with the time required for geological exploration being diminished.","PeriodicalId":261652,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geotechnology and Energy","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123910459","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}

A mathematical modeling of biosorption kinetics is a crucial step to optimize the remediation process. In the present study, kinetic studies were carried out to describe the sorption process of crude oil and water on waste sunflower pith. To increase sorption capacity the pith surface was modified with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and hydrophobic SiO2 nanoparticles. The maximum sorption capacity of raw and modified material was 17.76 and 19.62 g/g for crude oil, respectively. The system reached the equilibrium stage after 24 hours. The uptake profiles have been described by the pseudo-first order rate equation and the pseudo-second order rate equation. The calculated results were compared with experimental data and their fit was poor. To predict biosorption kinetics a new mathematically efficient procedure based on modified logistic equation was developed. The results indicate that the sunflower pith has a great potential for the removal of crude oil from water phase as an eco-friendly process.","PeriodicalId":261652,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geotechnology and Energy","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116960682","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}

This paper uses Bryan ProMax to set up the processing units for the recovery of natural gas liquids and removal of water. The parameters for the simulation were a gas composition which assumes a sweet gas content. The outcome of the simulation includes reduction of water content below 7 lbm/MMscf, recovery of methane and recovery of propane and isobutane only. The glycol dehydration unit minimized water impurity, while cooling with Joule–Thomson valve and heat exchangers help in methane recovery and separation from natural gas liquids. The results show that natural gas liquid recovery which depends on gas composition can be recovered by controlling the conditions of several units, namely heat exchangers, flash vessels, cold separators, fractionators, stabilizers with their reboilers and condensers.
