Wettability alteration and dissolution reaction are mechanisms that support the understanding of this technique. However, the dissolution behavior of Brazilian pre-salt carbonates rocks when treated by LSWI is not yet known. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to evaluate the dissolution effects provided by low salinity water injection in carbonate rocks from a Brazilian pre-salt reservoir using two different injection flow rates in core flooding tests at reservoir conditions. Porosity variation along the length was determined by Computerized Tomography scan analysis. Permeability was determined through pressure drop data. Ions identification and concentration were determined by ions chromatography. The experiments consisted in carrying out two core flooding tests assembled in series at 8100 psi of injection pressure and 65°C. It was performed two different injection flow rates (1 mL/min and 0.1 mL/min) of 16 times diluted synthetic seawater. It was possible to observe three different porosity behaviors along the sample length in both flow rates tested and for both core holder samples. However, the porosity behavior intensity is different from each case. There are regions of predictable behavior, regions of random behavior and inert regions. According to the porosity plots, the sample from the second core holder of the series presented more interaction with the injection fluid. Probably, the mineralogical heterogeneity has influenced in the dissolution phenomenon. The permeability profile remained almost constant for both samples. The ion chromatography analysis revealed a huge variation of magnesium and calcium ions concentration in the first injected porous volume and, subsequently, a constant trend towards the base-line values.","PeriodicalId":415055,"journal":{"name":"Day 1 Tue, October 29, 2019","volume":"319 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124289572","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}

Due to that, oil companies choose only trustable technology and field-proven solutions for artificial lift design. This is the case of Atlanta Field's artificial lift project, with electrical submersible pumps (ESP) installed at more than 1,550 m water depth, to produce heavy oil.\u0000 For Atlanta Field, the ESP must handle high viscous oil and emulsions at high flow rates to be economically feasible. To achieve this goal, it was deployed one of the most powerful ESP in the world with 1,550 HP induction motor and more than one hundred pump stages into the well. This is the largest ESP in-well successfully installed in Brazil.\u0000 The artificial lift strategy adopted for Atlanta Field was an in-well ESP as primary method and an artificial lift skid (ALS) installed on the seabed for back-up. When the primary method fails, there is no in-well ESP replacement, because of high costs involved with workover and the back-up system becomes the main one. When the back-up system fails, the replacement of the pumping module is done by an AHTS equipped with active compensate crane for subsea installation. In this way, replacement costs are much lower than those needed to replace pumps inside the wells.\u0000 So far, this artificial lift strategy has proven to be reliable and project results will be discussed in this paper. Strategies to optimize production will be addressed and observations regarding free gas ESP pumping will be made.\u0000 After a period producing, the in-well ESP have failed, and the ALS became the main system to produce both wells, as planned. The project faced some challenges with ALS operation, since there was an expressive flow restriction in the in-well ESP. Experimental tests were permeformed to better determine the pressure drop caused by the flow through the pump stages and to propose a solution to the production restriction. By-pass valves were adopted in the project to avoid the mentioned issue.\u0000 The well ATL-4 was drilled in March 2019. As this operation requires a drill ship, it was decided to perform workovers in wells ATL-2 and ATL-3 to replace the in-well ESPs and install the by-pass valves in the well's production string.","PeriodicalId":415055,"journal":{"name":"Day 1 Tue, October 29, 2019","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124649094","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 scope, microwave drying is proposed as a treatment method for drill cuttings contaminated with petroleum. In other words, this work aims to show how microwave drying technology can be a promising alternative in the treatment of drill cuttings originated from oil and gas reservoirs. First, a set of published results that reinforce the use of this technology in the drying of cuttings is presented. Then, a set of experiments that evaluated the efficiency of microwave drying of drill cuttings contaminated with petroleum of different API gravity was carried out. As expected, the microwave treatment of cuttings contaminated with light gravity oil presented lower residual contents than the heavy oil ones once light oil samples contain lighter hydrocarbons, which present lower boiling temperatures. Additionally, the remediation of oil-contaminated cuttings was promising, showing that it was possible to reach residual oil contents under 1% in mass after applying specific energies around 1.15 kWh/kg.","PeriodicalId":415055,"journal":{"name":"Day 1 Tue, October 29, 2019","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121466128","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}

Floating LNG (FLNG) offer freedom from the subsea pipeline, but the biggest have been designed for specific large fields.\u0000 Another approach is to build flexibility into the design of the FLNG facility, potentially increasing the initial CAPEX of the unit, instead of targeting a specific field. This approach allows the CAPEX to be amortized across multiple offshore fields, avoiding a stranded investment.\u0000 This paper addresses topsides where flexibility in topsides processing units is advantageous for pursuit of multiple marginal fields over the life of the FLNG asset, focusing on the 4.5 to 9 MSm3/day (160 to 330 MMSCFD) of natural gas liquefied to 1 to 2 million tonnes per annum of LNG.\u0000 Standardizing modular designs for FLNG processing units, provides opportunities to build or retrofit the FLNG facility in smaller yards and can reduce project schedule and costs associated with the design and construction of the FLNG facility. Considering future relocation of the floating unit to other fields, requires some flexibility in the initial design to reduce future changes, without negatively impacting first field performance.\u0000 Using this approach, producing gas from marginal offshore fields could be a viable option by utilizing small or mid-scale FLNG to liquefy gas, using one facility to liquefy serially multiple marginal fields.","PeriodicalId":415055,"journal":{"name":"Day 1 Tue, October 29, 2019","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132784840","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 addition to the local structural damages induced by slamming, a significant global hull vibration might also be excited. This vibratory response, referred to as whipping phenomenon, is usually not considered in the offshore industry, in particular in the design of ship shaped FPSOs. However, in case of resonance with slender structures such as the flare tower, these effects can have a strong influence on the fatigue performance at the interface between the FPSO’s hull and those structures. The objective of the work presented in this paper is to assess the influence of these effects on the total fatigue damage.\u0000 Numerical modelling of whipping is extremely complex from several aspects and only approximate models exist today. For this study, a state of the art whipping model is used, which couples the hydrodynamic loads (linear diffraction and radiation, nonlinear incident and slamming) with dynamic structural response of the floating body. The hydrodynamic part of the model includes a weakly nonlinear diffraction-radiation tool which is supplemented by a modified Logvinovich model for slamming. These hydrodynamic models are fully coupled with the structural vessel dynamics which are represented by a simplified finite element model. Direct assessment of hot spot stresses are performed on refined fatigue models.\u0000 Typical FPSO’s design includes the flare tower installed in the fore part, where the accelerations induced by the hull girder global vibrations are the highest. If the natural frequency of the flare tower is close to the natural frequency of the hull girder, significant flare vibrations might occur. In addition, spread moored FPSOs receive wave loads from 360 degrees and since typical FPSOs’ hull shape is similar to oil tankers’ hull shape, its stern flare is relatively larger flare than its bow flare. If waves come from the stern and FPSO’s draft is shallow, hull vibration induced by stern slamming might be large. The present work evaluates the influence of these vibrations on the flare tower structural response. The deterministic results are used within a dedicated methodology allowing for the evaluation of fatigue life of the structural details.\u0000 This work proposes an innovative methodology for including the influence of highly nonlinear loads, such as slamming induced whipping, in the structural fatigue assessment of offshore structures.","PeriodicalId":415055,"journal":{"name":"Day 1 Tue, October 29, 2019","volume":"179 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116446440","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 environmental risk of drill cuttings disposal options is influenced strongly by the location of the well, the level of residual drilling fluid, and the type of drilling fluid. The International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP) has divided drilling base fluids into water-based drilling fluids (WBDFs) and non-aqueous drilling fluids (NADFs), which are categorized as Group I: High Aromatic Content, Group II: Medium Aromatic Content, and Group III: Low/Negligible Aromatic Content. Group III fluids encompass many types of fluids with low or undetectable levels of aromatic, including olefins, synthetic paraffins, and enhanced mineral oils. Laboratory testing and post-drilling environmental surveys clearly show the difference between WBDFs, Group I and Group III NADFs. However, despite laboratory studies differentiating the various Group III fluids, this differentiation is not clearly observable in single-well environmental monitoring studies. The objectives of this research are (1) to model the environmental risk from offshore drill cuttings discharge with several different Group III drilling base fluids, (2) to determine the impact of formation oil on the calculated environmental risk, and (3) to assess the use of modeling to differentiate drilling base fluids.\u0000 In this project, DREAM (Dose-related Risk and Effect Assessment Model) was used to simulate the environmental risk from drill cuttings discharge with different drilling base fluids under identical discharge conditions of bore hole diameter, retention on cuttings (ROC), particle size distribution, current, etc. The drilling fluids modeled are: diesel (Group I), four Group III fluids (internal olefin, two enhanced mineral oils, and a synthetic paraffin), and water-based fluid (WBDF), as well as formation oil on cuttings. Benthic environmental risk is quantified using four factors that potentially impact sediment organisms: chemical stress (toxicity), burial, change in sediment grain size, and oxygen depletion due to biodegradation of chemicals present in the drilling base fluid.\u0000 The modeling results presented in this paper support the differentiation between different drilling fluids and provides insight into the primary drivers of risk. For all fluids, grain size and burial posed small risk in this modeling scenario. As expected, the largest risk was predicted for diesel based on chemical toxicity while the smallest was for WBDF. Most WBDF toxicity impacts are in the water column and not the sediment. Group III NADFs, except for one enhanced mineral oil, had similar risk, but the main risk contributors were different. For the enhanced mineral oils and synthetic paraffin, chemical toxicity influenced overall risk; internal olefins did not exert risk from chemical toxicity.

Thus, we developed a methodological framework and a web tool to support the selection of technological and locational alternatives in subsea system installation and decommissioning activities. This framework relies on the assessment of environmental pressures and biological sensitivities. Our model's main assumption is that an activity can cause a number of environmental pressures, which can have different effects on each environmental component (habitats or biological groups). In the end, a potential environmental impact of a technology can be the result of its pressures on the components at a location. The work relied on experts' judgement and it was based on some previously established criteria for the classification of these environmental pressures and components' sensitivities. Scores were set and ranked in these assessments and a formula calculated the potential environmental impact of each activity/technology. A web tool called SCENARIO was developed to incorporate these results in a user-friendly interface, where one can compare scenarios made up with different technological options and different habitats or biological groups. This tool points out the potential environmental impact of each available choice. It also details how each component relates to that impact. Finally, one can acknowledge the environmental performance of its own scenario choices within the range of the best and worst possible alternatives. The tool was tested and proved to be technically sound and capable of contributing effectively to support the decision making process in the environmental aspects of offshore E&P subsea projects.

In a typical Drill Stem Test, using only downhole pressure gauges, any fluid contacts between the pressure gauges would be missed and the produced fluid density calculated would be erroneous.\u0000 Accurate calculation of the produced fluid densities is of great importance to the reservoir engineer since it forms a critical component of the equations of state used in the modelling of the reservoir. The main purpose of this paper is to show that knowledge of the produced fluid densities from each of the perforated intervals provides a more robust calculation of the zonal flowrate contributions using conservation of mass principles.\u0000 In this case study, the well was produced across three intervals with the deepest perforated interval producing a fluid with a higher density than the shallower perforated intervals. The higher density of the produced fluid from this deeper interval caused the wellbore fluids to slug during the flow periods with a measureable response in the pressure and temperature data. If this difference in the fluid properties is not taken into account then the zonal allocation flowrate will be in error since it relies on the density and specific heat capacity. Qualitative assessment of the temperature array data identified the producing zones and clearly highlighted the different fluid interfaces in detail that would remain hidden if relying solely on the pressure gauges.\u0000 This method is enabled by the deployment of a Downhole Temperature Sensor Array consisting of an array of discrete electronic temperature sensors alongside the TCP guns, generating continuous thermal profiles across the three intervals. This is augmented by a wireless data system of pressure points. All the data is collected real time throughout the entire Drill Stem Test.","PeriodicalId":415055,"journal":{"name":"Day 1 Tue, October 29, 2019","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129192322","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}
