Chemical sand consolidation (SCON) is one sand control method needed to strengthen the formation by injecting a mix of chemical components as a binding agent, pore retaining agent, and curing agent into the target formation. But, to achieve an efficient injection, an injectivity test must be done to determine a safe injection rate that will not exceed the fracture pressure and will not affect sand failure because of non-uniformity of the treatment distribution. This study evaluates the previous SCON wells in the Mahakam block with poor injectivity results and forecasted to be not workable for chemical injection because of bottomhole pressure exceeding fracture pressure from the high fluid viscosity. This study examined case studies from the last 4 years in mitigating injectivity problems and from the data made a comparison in determining the best remedial action. The novelty of this study is in redefining the operation envelope of sand consolidation treatment in terms of injectivity results. Issues in injectivity should not jeopardize production in unconsolidated formation since it can be mitigated properly and still result in a positive economic contribution.","PeriodicalId":442360,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Indonesian Petroleum Association, 46th Annual Convention & Exhibition, 2022","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127171376","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}

Following its depletion challenge, more than 90% of Handil’s oil production relies mainly on gas lift, which is circulated from Compressor in the process area. The HEOR (Handil Enhanced Oil Recovery) Compressor is one of the compressors used to supply gas lift in Handil field. HEOR is equipped with two air coolers, namely the interstage cooler (E-5550) and discharge cooler (E-5530). Based on inspection findings, the discharge cooler E-5530 is leaking and out of service. Consequently, HEOR compressor cannot be operated, thereby reducing the rate of gas lift to field and resulting to lower oil production from Handil field. Further study was then carried out to review the feasibility of running the HEOR compressor without its discharge cooler (discharge cooler operation by-passed). Several efforts were performed to ensure the process safety condition as follows: Jumper line size to ensure the deliverability of gas lift rate. The existing 6” jumper line with a rating 1500# is capable to deliver 48 MMscfd with potential debottlenecking to 8” line with a capacity of 86 MMscfd; Stress analysis on piping & pipeline is performed to review the impact of increasing temperature; Water condensation study along the pipeline discharge cooler to check the Top of Line Corrosion (ToLC) issue; Corrosion mitigations with sampling liquid (e.g. pH analysis) and corrosion monitoring requirement (e.g. routine UT measurement at critical sections and chemical injection on critical points as per sampling result); Field trial of the by-pass discharge cooler by utilizing existing configuration were carried out to examine the temperature profile along the pipeline and its impact on the performance of HEOR compressor. The new philosophy of running HEOR compressor without discharge cooler was successfully implemented in the Handil field. The modification is succeeded to boost oil production up to 2,000 bopd thanks to great collaboration among engineering, production method, and site Operation team. All efforts from engineering studies up to implementation in the field are a good lesson learns that can be implemented to other oil and gas field.","PeriodicalId":442360,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Indonesian Petroleum Association, 46th Annual Convention & Exhibition, 2022","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125695059","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}

Integrating horst and graben characters with available data has enabled generate of a new horst and graben map. The study outcome suggests there are six horsts and six grabens. Some horsts are known, but many are new. Likewise, some grabens are known, but others are unique. New exploration opportunities have been generated by these horsts and grabens in the context of depositional setting from Middle Eocene to Middle Miocene. In addition, three play concepts have been created. They are Eocene Clastic, Eocene to Early Miocene Carbonates, and Early to Middle Miocene Clastic. The plays differ, since the horst and graben positions are unique compared to traditional knowledge.

One requirement is for the temperature of wastewater to be below 113°F (45 deg Celsius). Production fluid from Seruni field is being processed at Seruni GS. The produced water from the field will be treated until the quality meets the requirement before being discharged to the nearby canal. If the outlet temperature of the produced water at the compliance point is about to exceed the limit, the operator will try to reduce the temperature by shutting down several wells, to reduce the overall flow rate of the produced water being treated in Seruni GS. This action will result in production loss and lower the overall oil production to be delivered from Seruni GS. Considering the importance of outlet temperature of produced water concerning the potential production loss and compliance to the permit, it is critical to building a model to understand the relationship between outlet temperature and the operational condition (such as produced water flow rate, ambient temperature, and others). A proposed solution is to combine the implementation of machine learning prediction and genetic optimization to predict minimum adjustment to the operational condition and the oil loss while still meeting the required temperature limit. Using the method, the developed model has achieved a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of about 0.38degF and a Coefficient of Determination (R2) of 0.97. In addition, the optimization result shows better decisions compared to current best practices in suggesting the well shut-in candidates. The system is run daily to estimate future outlet temperature and recommend the amount of water reduction, including the list of wells to be shut-in. Another utilization of this system is for assisting the evaluation of the potential impact of increased produced water flow rate from sizing up the subsurface pump and reactivating existing idle producer wells.

Amid a gradually increasing oil price trend, combined with a company production sharing contract, the economic benefits for oil sales are significantly higher than gas, demanding operations focus on lifting oil instead of gas. Many uncertain variables make it difficult to achieve the full potential of the reservoir's oil production, with sand production contributing a large part of this. It is a condition in which the sand matrix is produced together with reservoir fluids, leading to production system damage and an operational threat to safety. The sand issues are caused by poor cementation of the reservoir (widely known as an unconsolidated reservoir), combined with a rate of production fluid that exceeds a value (may vary for different reservoirs) known as the critical rate. The simplest solution to avoid sand issues is drawdown pressure management from the reservoir into the wellbore to maintain the production fluid rate below the critical rate. However, this solution is often ineffective due to the dynamic behavior of the reservoir and production system environment. From a production point of view, this solution also negatively impacts the oil production delivery commitment and reserves if the well cannot flow continuously below the critical rate. This results in mandatory sand production prevention measures being implemented. In the Mutiara and Pamaguan fields, sand issues are prevented using a mechanical solution by installing a sand screen in the wellbore. Although this method is the most economical one, due to the limitations of sand screen size and selection, sand can still pass by the screen or cause plugging around the screen. Since this method only filters the sand downhole, sand deposition below the sand screen is still very likely, leading to the eventual covering up of open perforation intervals. Recently, another method has been implemented to prevent sand production using resin injection into the reservoir, with the objective being to enhance sand consolidation. This method has proved an economical way to treat sand problems without harming either the production or clearance in the well. This paper will give a better understanding of the sand problem and the benefits of this type of resin injection for treating sand problems based on a campaign of four oil wells in a mature field with its associated complexity. This sand consolidation treatment successfully recovered lost oil reserves totaling 215 Mbbl of oil.","PeriodicalId":442360,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Indonesian Petroleum Association, 46th Annual Convention & Exhibition, 2022","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131904420","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}
