Those are commonly caused in our laboratory location: Tokyo, Japan. The disaster resistant designs can keep data quality and avoid repairing costs. E&P experiments are costly carried out using valuable samples such as reservoir fluids and cores. Furthermore, an experiment consists of many stages and its total workload including a preparatory work is huge. Therefore, experimental data should be surely obtained with keeping sufficient high quality and avoiding accidental damage of expensive apparatus due to local disasters. A lesson learned from our long-term successful case are useful for laboratory apparatus design and operation.\u0000 In an earthquake-resistant design, large or heavy apparatus were placed with many types of fixing components such as rigid frame connected with fixed wall, outrigger and wheel stopper. To date, no experimental apparatus damage and data deterioration during measurements were reported more than 20 years in our laboratory.\u0000 Accidental voltage surge often causes near our laboratory area when sudden downpours and/or lightning hit. In our laboratory-locating area, it is most frequently prone to occur such disasters in Japan; for example, +1000 lightening and +200 sudden downpours annually. The former is concentrated to August and the latter disaster occurs in summer (July to September). Based on past performance and mid-term forecasts of those disaster, experimental schedule is often adjusted so that a crucial experimental stage will be carried out except such frequent disaster duration. Particularly, an operational counter measure is important for apparatus that have risks to fail when accidental voltage surge occurs. To avoid it, more careful attention should be paid to experimental schedule by taking long-term weather information into account. Consequently, our prevenient measures successfully achieved no crucial damage of experimental apparatus and schedule delaying due to lightning surges except one minor accident during recent decade.\u0000 Furthermore, a highly-sensitive measurement such as electron probe micro analyzer (EPMA) requires careful damping control for traffic vibration to maintain accuracy. In a damping design, the EPMA is placed in independent location from the construction floor on the building's foundation. This provides sufficient data quality since the installation.","PeriodicalId":303215,"journal":{"name":"Day 1 Tue, April 23, 2019","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121072529","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}

Therefore, the feasibility and performance of sludge injection into steam stimulated wells, and sludge sequestration and associated heavy oil recovery improvement are investigated based on results of lab research and field operation. At first, the composition and rheology of the sludge samples from Liaohe Oilfield are measured and analyzed in detail. Secondly, the injection, sequestration and block performance are investigated by sand pack experiments, particularly the aggregation and blocked sand are analysed by scanning electron microscope, and improvement of heavy oil recovery by sludge injection. Thirdly, the principles of sludge sequestration and associated heavy oil recovery improvement are discussed. At last, field application of sludge in Liaohe Oilfield is presented. As we know, the sludge are produced from the reservoir, it is comprised of mud, fine sand, some oil phase components and water. Aggregation of the sludge components except water is potential to block porous media such as produced formation, at the same time, the sludge are buried in its origin, the reservoir. The sludge is injected to produced reservoir through enlarged pore at high injection pressure, and aggregated mud, fine sand and oil from sludge could consolidate formation sand and block pores effectively after injection process (permeability decease of sludge blocked sand tube is more than 90%). As a result, the sludge is stored in steamed formation, and separated water could be filtered and produced. At the same time, steam conformance could be improved by stored sludge, accordingly heavy oil production is increased. Average oil production increase of 45 wells in Liaohe Oilfield is more than 20%. Substantial sludge are treated by such subsurface sludge sequestration in steamed heavy oil reservoir, and sludge sequestration in other reservoirs are evaluating as well.","PeriodicalId":303215,"journal":{"name":"Day 1 Tue, April 23, 2019","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123505872","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}

Despite not necessarily receiving the most coverage, oil leakage do happen in steam huff-puff production wells and may actually occur more frequently than we perceive. Presently, the oil leakage through annular space around a cemented casing into upper water layer during huff stage has become a problem to be urgently solved in thermal recovery production. The solutions to this difficulty are usage of thermal-stability cement slurry system with high-adsorbability additives and thickened low-permeability surface cement sheath. The well section from 100 metres below the upper aquifer is cemented by thickened cement sheath, and the rest well section from the bottom of oil layer to the wellhead is cemented by a novel high-adsorbability cement slurry system. The objective of usage of high-adsorbability cement slurry system is to absorb spilled oil, and the objective of the thickened low-permeability surface cement sheath is to achieve a stable physical plugging. SEM photographs indicate that the microstructure of thermal-stability cement paste after high-temperature steam is more compact. The performance of hardened cement paste before and after steam vapor curing shows that the compression strength, tensile strength and shear stress had little change. It avoids annular cement paste as a channel for the leakage of crude oil. The scaled 3D oil adsorption physical simulation was employed to examine the effectiveness of cement paste with high-adsorbability additives. It can reduce the migration of oil, and the pollution is limited in the annular space. The results show that permeability of cement paste is about 0.03×10-3 μm3. The thickened low-permeability surface cement paste ensures that spilled oil cannot enter the upper aquifer. These results had been validated on site test. The CBL/VDL test report revealed that acoustic amplitude value of the well is less than 10%. The retest results of CBL/VDL after thermal recovery production for a long time reveal that acoustic amplitude value almost remain unchanged and almost no oil exists in annular space. No spilled oil has been observed in observation wells located in the upper aquifer.\u0000 Through usage of physical adsorption and plugging, the volume of oil leakage into annular space is obviously reduced, almost all the spilled oil is absorbed by cement paste, and no spilled oil has been observed in the upper aquifer. This method completely solved the problem of crude oil polluting the upper water layer and extended the production life.","PeriodicalId":303215,"journal":{"name":"Day 1 Tue, April 23, 2019","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115256427","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}
