Common problems such as wellbore collapse, tight hole, mechanical sticking, cause major delays in drilling time due to extended reaming and sidetracking in worst-case scenario. Geomechanical property of rock such as Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) affects wellbore stability, drilling performance and formation in-situ stresses estimation. Conventional methods used to estimate UCS requires either laboratory experiments or derived from sonic logs and the main drawbacks of these methods are the data and samples availability, high costs and time This paper presents an alternative technique of utilizing real-time drilling parameters and machine learning (ML) algorithm in the prediction of UCS thereby enabling timely drilling decisions. ML algorithm enables a system to learn complex pattern from the dataset during the training (learning) phase without any specified mathematical model and afterwards the trained model can predict through a model input. In this work, five ML models were used to predict UCS using offset well data from an already drilled wells. The models include; artificial neural network (ANN), CatBoost (CB), Extra Tree (ET), Random Forest (RF) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The ML models were first trained with 1150 data points using a 70:30 percentage ratio for training and testing the model respectively. After that, 560 datapoints from a different well were used to validate the developed model. The real-time drilling parameters required included weight on bit, penetration rate, rotary speed, and torque. The analysis result revealed good match between the actual and predicted (UCS) with correlation coefficients for training and testing dataset; 0.970 and 0.70 and 0.85 and 0.77 for CatBoost and ANN respectively. The main added value of this approach is that these drilling parameters are readily available in real-time and timely drilling decisions can be modified to improve the drilling performance.","PeriodicalId":407977,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Wed, August 02, 2023","volume":"683 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130154885","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 African energy industry is plagued by a plethora of problems such as a lack of access to reliable energy, the absence of transparency and trust, and limited access to financing amongst others. Blockchain technology can be employed to address these challenges by providing secure and transparent platforms for energy transactions, enabling peer-to-peer energy trading, and facilitating access to financing for both renewable and fossil energy projects. On the other hand, the implementation of blockchain technology in the energy industry faces several limitations which include a lack of regulatory clarity or a defined framework, inadequate infrastructure, and a lack of technical know-how. To address these limiting factors, this paper proffers several solutions such as the development of a clearly defined regulatory framework to enable the implementation of blockchain technology, the creation of industry standards to ensure interoperability and uniformity, and the promotion of education and training programs to build technical expertise. This paper also highlights existing case studies of blockchain-based energy projects in Africa to demonstrate the potential of blockchain technology in the energy industry. The paper concludes that while blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize the African energy industry, early adoption is key and the importance of addressing existing limitations cannot be overemphasized.","PeriodicalId":407977,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Wed, August 02, 2023","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130187920","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}

These diligent planning efforts become more crucial when faced with challenging thrust fault environments which can adversely affect the outcome of a frac or extension packs. Thrust faults traversing a target reservoir needs to be carefully evaluated for activation or uncontrollable fluid loss during the frac pack process to ensure adequate mitigation can be implemented for a successful job.\u0000 This paper illustrates the systematic approach used to optimize sand control and productivity for a deepwater well including the following challenges that were encountered: TCP overbalance concerns, brine density, and the need to manage potential high fluid losses in a depleted zone (hydrostatic pressure less than 80 psi below estimated fracture pressure). Fracpack was designed without any frac length constraint. Gel concentration, pad volume and pump rate were maximized to manage low fluid efficiency. The job was pumped as per design with hard screenout at nominal rate, 70% of proppant placed behind casing and good annular pack.\u0000 The well in question was an oil producer which was drilled with the wellbore crossing the main thrust fault at the reservoir level. It was drilled with no wellbore stability issues reported. The sand-face completion presented major challenges as summarized below. Lower Zone: short perforation interval that was 25 ft above the OWC and less than 80 ft away from the main thrust fault. Middle Zone: depleted sands with the main thrust fault crossing the wellbore few feet above the top perforation (top of the reservoir sand).

The 2022 budget reflects that 31% of Federal government earnings will be result from oil and gas. Despite the push to diversify her economy, the stark reality remains that oil and gas sales is an influential factor to enabling economic development in Nigeria. More so, countries such as Saudi Arabia and Norway have utilized oil and gas wealth as the basis to invest in other sectors and promote diversification. However, Nigeria's goal of Energy security and economic development is likely not to be achieved as she battles with crude theft plaguing her ability to evacuate crude to her customers. Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) reported a loss of 470,000 bpd of crude amounting to an estimated 0.4 trillion naira monthly due to oil theft. The annualized estimate of 5.2 trillion-naira loss represents a staggering 30% of Nigeria's 2022 budget expenditure of 16 trillion naira. With other associated impacts to Nigeria, there is an imperative to deal and ultimately put an end to this looming menace. This study focused on addressing the crude oil theft through sustainable Host community engagement and development.\u0000 A review of the factors promoting crude oil theft in Nigeria was performed. The study analyzed the production loss data over a decade and positively correlated it with economic development indicators such as poverty index, inflation, per capita income. The impact on the host community was studied.\u0000 The results showed that the disenchantment of host communities (despite being key stakeholders in the oil and gas value chain) necessitated their little to no responsibility for protecting oil & gas assets and preventing the perpetration of crude oil theft.\u0000 The study developed and proposed a \"Host community development plan\" which if administered with provisions already existing in the Petroleum Industry Act could revolutionize the Oil & gas industry by promoting increased ownership & fostering collaboration towards achieving Energy security & Economic development in Nigeria.","PeriodicalId":407977,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Wed, August 02, 2023","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125390867","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 candidate well-stimulation selection method and software are suggested in this work. The process is based on technical, workover complexity, production decline curve analysis (for future forecasting), and economics since candidate selection must be rigorous. Production data from four onshore Niger Delta stimulation candidate wells were used to validate the software developed. R-factor, productivity index, and flow efficiency were the technical parameters used, and eleven (11) indicators were used for workover complexity evaluation. The future forecast was done using the production decline curve analysis and different economic indicators such as the Internal Rate of Return (IRR), the Net present value (NPV), and the Payback time. Profitability Index (PI) was used for analysis and make decisions. All wells analyzed in this study met the technical parameter criteria, making each well a potential candidate; hence, further studies can be conducted. From further reviews based on the author selection criteria carried out with regard to production trend (decline curve analysis) and economics, it was seen that WELL XX-01 was ranked first due to its shortest payback time of 2.0899 months and highest NPV of $23,636,983, WELL XX-03 was ranked next, having a payback of 2.2472 months and an NPV of $9,627,221, WELL XX-02 was ranked following having NPV of $7,260,917 and a payback of 2.2560 months and lastly, WELL XX-04 having a payback time of 2.3615 months and NPV of $6,777,548.","PeriodicalId":407977,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Wed, August 02, 2023","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117005941","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}

These hydrocarbon targets typically lie beneath hydrostatic geological intervals and are overlain by depleted and/or producing reservoirs hence choosing the right casing depth is a key parameter in executing HPHT wells In the wells in Astra East Field, it was decided to set a casing shoe in a homogeneous shale of ~200ft vertical thickness, located between overlying heavily depleted sand and underlying over pressured sand. This poses an interesting question of the direct practical importance: at what depth should the casing shoe be set to minimize the risk of kicks and/or wellbore instability (because of too low mud weight) and losses (because of too high mud weight). To help answer this question, wireline log data and drilling observations in other wells in the same field, where such shales were found, were analyzed, and evaluated. The electrical resistivity in the shales consistently showed the following signature from top to bottom across the shale:\u0000 Zone 1: Relatively high electric resistivity just below the depleted sand, near constant with depth. Zone 2: The signature gradually decreasing with increasing depth, and finally, at the lower section of the shale. Zone 3: Relatively low electric resistivity just above the over pressured sand, the signal again near-constant with depth.\u0000 The drilling observations revealed that wells with the casing set in Zone 1 experienced severe mud losses and differential sticking, while wells where the casing set in zones 2 or Zone 3 did not. This observation could be explained as follows - The electric resistivity signature as a function of depth (in the three zones described above) may reflect the pore pressure in the bounding sands: at the top, the shale \"feels\" the sand depletion, transmitted over the years via pore fluid pressure diffusion, which compacts the shale, presses the grains contacts closer together, thus increasing electrical resistivity. In contrast, at the base, the shale \"feels\" the overpressure in the sand below, maintained over the millions of years of geologic diagenesis. This keeps the deeper part of the shale at relatively low effective stress (compared to the upper part), with relatively low grain contact pressure, thus reducing electrical resistivity.\u0000 We postulate that there may be a mechanism-based explanation for the heavy losses and sticking when the casing is set in Zone 1. We also inferred from the drilling data that the tendency to set the casing shoe quite shallow (in Zone 1) in previous wells and in the well in case study was driven by concern of wellbore instability and severe losses experienced while drilling through the intra-reservoir shale. Closer inspection reveals that this concern is probably not justified, as the apparently high risk of wellbore instability at the top of the shale was caused by using a too-high pore fluid pressure (","PeriodicalId":407977,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Wed, August 02, 2023","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124877897","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}

Researchers have made significant contributions towards enhancing the performance and extending the lifespan of Gas Turbines (GT) through advancements like regeneration, pre-heaters, intercoolers, and more. The utilization of compressor washing techniques has also been explored, influenced by environmental factors. This has yielded varied results. In today's highly competitive market, coupled with the continuous rise in fuel costs, it has become crucial to develop effective measurement and control techniques for detecting, preventing, and controlling GT fouling. The continuous deterioration of GTs due to fouling has a direct impact on its performance and associated costs. This work focuses on investigating the significance of compressor washing on GT performance, specifically considering the fouling of compressor blades caused by Domestic Object Damage (DOD) and Foreign Object Damage (FOD), along with techniques to mitigate these issues. The evaluation encompasses online, offline, and combined (online and offline) compressor washing methods to determine the most effective approach in addressing fouling challenges faced by operators. The study was implemented using GT performance modelling tools - Pythia/Turbomatch - which involves simulation of the thermodynamic models of the engine. Results from the study indicate that at a compressor fouling level of 2% and a temperature of 200°C, a degradation of approximately 9% in power output, a 5% reduction in air mass flow and pressure ratio, and a decline of around 1.4% in gas generator turbine efficiency were observed. Further simulations involving an 8% fouling in compressor efficiency revealed that online compressor washing led to a recovery of 2.8%, offline washing achieved a recovery of 3.3%, while the combined method experienced a 6% performance recovery.","PeriodicalId":407977,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Wed, August 02, 2023","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133027471","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}

Important chemicals such as polyethylene and polypropylene are derived from raw materials in the form of light olefins, including ethylene and propylene, processible via naphtha cracking. However, since this leads to its production among other valuable by-products separation/refinement is required and this is commonly achieved through technical and energy-intensive cryogenic distillation due to the similarity in thermophysical properties of the process effluents. Thus, cost-effective and energy-efficient processes are required among which membrane-based separation techniques stand out. In that line, zeolitic imidazolium frameworks (ZIFs) have shown a superior potential to provide high selectivity and high permeability to particular species in a mixture they are used to refine. This superior effectiveness is attributed to ZIF's uniform pore sizes that enable sharp molecular sieving, as well as its highly porous structure that enables fast species transport through it, with minimal mass transfer hindrance for the targeted/preferably selected specie. Among ZIFs, there exists one called ZIF-8 which is especially suited to propylene/propane separation and has been widely reported for its sharp molecular sieving performance for this mixture. ZIF-8 is also distinctly stable, and relatively easy to synthesize from cheap and readily available starting materials. Recent advances in the fabrication methods reported for ZIF-8 synthesis are presented in this work, along with a comparison of the separation performance for propylene and propane resulting from different types of ZIF-8 produced by these methods. The potential effect of utilizing this ZIF material in the refining units applied for olefin/paraffin separation is also critically evaluated towards its industrial utilization.","PeriodicalId":407977,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Wed, August 02, 2023","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131517182","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 offers cheap exploitation of small reservoirs that would have remained stranded for uneconomic offtake rates and recovery. Although this method reduces development costs and environmental footprints, production allocation is a concern, especially in the absence of intelligent completion. Here, an intelligent commingling employs active inflow control valves (ICV) across individual zones. Nevertheless, this ideal scenario of full intelligence is not always available in practice. Considering the opportunities and challenges of stranded hydrocarbon resources amid tightening global energy supply and drive for cleaner fuel, this paper considers semi-intelligent commingled production (SICP) as an enabler for production acceleration. An SICP has a permanent downhole gauge for real-time pressure and temperature measurements but, unlike its intelligent counterpart, SICP lacks ICVs for zonal surveillance and control. We develop a fit-for-purpose method and workflow for back-allocation in a two-zone SICP. It is a semi-empirical approach premised on pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) characterization. Different mixing proportions of fluid samples from target contributing zones are baselined in terms of compositions and aggregate properties. These same properties of commingled stream are monitored over time to back-allocate produced gas, oil and water phases. Unlike production logging and conventional fingerprinting that require frequent well re-entry and large spectrum of fluid components respectively, our method is cheap and minimizes well re-entry and its associated risks. Specifically, we exploit C1, C7+, and salinity (Cl−) as markers to uniquely characterize the gas, oil and water phases of individual zones, respectively. Given the challenges posed by highly biodegraded oil reservoirs and reservoirs with similar PVT properties, we propose augmenting our back-allocation method with the use of biomarkers from saturate and aromatic fractions of the oil in such cases.","PeriodicalId":407977,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Wed, August 02, 2023","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115380690","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}
