Multiple CCS projects have been announced recently in SEA, targeting storage in depleted reservoirs. In this paper, we share technical lessons learned while working on CCS projects in SEA. The paper first provides an overview of engineering factors that should be considered for the transport and storage of CO2 in depleted reservoirs. We will then focus our discussion on four of the challenges faced while assessing these factors. Firstly, we highlight the impact that regional geothermal gradients have on storage capacity; particularly, we show that higher geothermal gradients due to the proximity to the ring of fire reduces storage capacity in reservoirs in SEA. Secondly, challenges surrounding the dynamic modelling of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) injection into depleted reservoirs will be discussed; the large difference between the composition of the injected gas and native reservoir gas necessitates the use of compositional dynamic models. In this regard, many depleted reservoirs either do not have dynamic models at all, or only have black oil models; both circumstances will require significant time and resource investments to construct compositional dynamic models. Next, we will discuss the reusability of regional gas pipelines for CCS projects; we discuss factors that may prevent a pipeline from being convertible for CO2 transport. Finally, we will discuss the challenge of managing CO2 phase transitions at injection sites. The phase transitions are a result of CO2 being transported at high pressures and then injected into depleted reservoirs with low pressures and high temperatures. We argue in the paper that the phase transition should be engineered to occur in the reservoir to minimize facilities costs.","PeriodicalId":442360,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Indonesian Petroleum Association, 46th Annual Convention & Exhibition, 2022","volume":"33 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":"128022643","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 the case of source rock plays, the complex petrophysics are solved with the addition of advanced logging tools such as NMR for porosity and permeability determination, dielectric for fluid saturation, elemental spectroscopy for identification and quantification of minerals, and core data, ideally pressure core for petrophysical calibration. Formation evaluation for source rocks must be integrated with geochemical analysis to evaluate TOC and/or kerogen, geomechanics analysis to evaluate rock fracability and quantification of faults and natural fractures if present. TOC analysis can be done with standard logging tools with the DeltalogR or Schmoker methods, and the geomechanical analysis can be done with dipole or multipole sonic tools through anisotropy evaluation and elastic properties computations to help quantify areas where fracture conductivity is easier to achieve. Geochemistry and geomechanics log results require high quality core data to calibrate TOC and organic material maturity using pyrolysis or LECO combustion technique and to calibrate elastic properties using triaxial pressure test., Leak Off Test (LOT/XLOT), or microfrac/DFIT. This paper presents a proven workflow and lessons learnt from recent source rock reservoir evaluations using advanced logging tools.

The discharge coefficient of the orifice meter calculate for the irreversible losses in the system, which requires extensive experimental validation in accordance with the API standard. This paper presents the numerical simulation study as an alternative of experimental works for estimating the orifice plate’s discharge coefficient. In this study, numerical simulations performed under several orifice diameters with single-phase gas flow with multiple gas flow rates. Two different Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes turbulent models, i.e., SST k-ω and Realizable k-ℇ model, are employed to solve the upstream and downstream orifice differential pressure, based on which the corresponding discharge coefficient is generated. Experimental data points are employed to validate the numerical study, and its comparison studied statistically. Simulations of two orifices display in this study, i.e., 1-inch orifice with SST k-ω and 1.5-inch orifice with Realizable k-e turbulence model. It observed that the pressure increases slightly as the fluid approaches the orifice, and the pressure drops suddenly and continues to drop until it reaches the vena contracta. Moreover, due to the increased velocity of the gas passing through the reduced area of the orifice, the pressure gradually increases afterward. Compared with the experimental data, the numerical simulation under-predicts the discharge coefficient. However, the data discrepancy is less than 4% and 6% respectively. The pressure at 12-inch downstream of the orifice is obtained to investigate the pressure loss ratio. The pressure loss ratio is slightly over-predicted by the numerical simulation of 2% and 6% relative error respectively.

Tiffin et al. (2003) reported that the recommended pressure drawdown is ranging from 500 psi to 1000 psi depends on the experience and analogue data for wells with installed sand control. However in their research, they shown that pressure drawdown is not an appropriate approach to avoid sand production. They introduce the concept of flux limit to replace pressure drawdown limit since velocity of produce fluid through sand screen is the main variable affecting sand control failure. Similar flux limit application also studied by Procyk et al. in 2015. As an object of this study, B-5 is the third development well in B field. The field consists of shallow multi-stacked sandstone reservoirs. As an implication of its shallow depth and good reservoir quality, Sand production is expected on the B field as observed in surrounding analogue fields. To mitigate sand production, sand control of fracpack and gravel pack was installed under five inflow control valves (ICVs) in B-5 well. In total 11 reservoir were commingle in those five ICVs where Each ICVs is equipped with pressure and temperature gauge in both inside tubing and annulus. On this research, dynamic simulation model in B-5 is coupled with well and surface facility model. Well management strategy through integrated production modeling approach is carried out to take into account backpressure from each production interval. Flux limit on sand screen can be updated continuously by considering the gas flow rate and depletion on reservoir pressure. This integrated study is important to create strategy of ICV open and shut-in condition to safely optimize well production by avoiding sand production while cover widest production range as possible as required by gas demands.","PeriodicalId":442360,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Indonesian Petroleum Association, 46th Annual Convention & Exhibition, 2022","volume":"99 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":"131739219","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}

Pulsed-Neutron Spectroscopy Logging (PNL) was planned since this field enter next development stage, the formation oil/gas saturation & fluid contacts movement is crucial for development planning and behind casing opportunities. PNL can accomplish the objective since its building on the three types of nuclear reactions between neutrons and formation, four kinds of pulsed neutron logging modes are commonly utilized: sigma mode which based on the thermal neutron capture & primarily measure the time decay of the capturing process; C/O which based on the fast neutron inelastic scattering reactions; Ratio-Based Gas Saturation and 3-Phase Saturations. Sigma processing result can be specifically calculated from Sigma equation, but the C/O and Ratio-Based Gas Saturation and 3-Phase Saturation data processing need to apply the Monte Carlo models to eliminate the impact of the downhole environment to the log data. This paper introduces a novel pulsed-neutron log design that was successfully practiced in Bukit Tua, where it took the advantages from Sigma log modes to efficiently overcome the challenges of defining or to monitor hydrocarbon sweep and Gas-water contact movement. PNL was run in the Kujung-1 interval with activated sigma mode. This interval is known as a thick build-up platform carbonate with 95 feet TVT of gas column. Previous understanding was that the Kujung-1 reservoir was connected and there was no fault or facies compartmentation. There are 16 wells that penetrate this interval, consisting of 6 exploration wells, 6 non-producing wells and 4 producing wells. X1 well has produced since 2017, followed by X6 well in 2018. X11 well was drilled in 2020 and showed the GWC higher by 15 feet from the initial GWC. But surprisingly, two other wells (X8 & W2) drilled in 2020 and 2021 and penetrating the Kujung-1 interval showed original gas water contact but with pressure data below original pressure. To answer this anomaly, the surveillance PCINO team proposed to run PNL in two wells that are located in the X11, X6 & X1 area. X4 and X1 well were selected to represent a producing and non-producing well. PNL was run successfully in X4 and X1 wells, with three pass data that showed good repeatability. X4 is an oil well, and SGS data acquisition was run to confirm fluid annulus that will affect PNL data interpretation. X4 results show that the current GWC has risen by 17 feet, close to data from X11 which showed GWC higher by 15 feet. Meanwhile, X1 as producing well shows that the current GWC has risen by 23 feet, which is higher than the other data and possibly affected by water coning. Based on this PNL reservoir data, the previous understanding that Kujung-1 intervals are defined as connecting reservoir should be revised and thus will have implications for OGIP and reserve calculation.","PeriodicalId":442360,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Indonesian Petroleum Association, 46th Annual Convention & Exhibition, 2022","volume":"170 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":"121080991","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 price of crude oil tends to have volatile properties, so most investors are not confident in investing in oil and gas projects. A mistake in forecasting crude oil prices significantly impacted accuracy in evaluating a project proposed. One of the most used methods is point-prediction ARMA(p,q) model. However, this method could not capture the volatility of the crude oil price data, and point prediction is riskier to use because it is not robust, i.e., it tends to change due to the existence of extreme values. To solve these problems, instead of using the point prediction ARMA(p,q) model, we proposed an interval prediction called V@R-Assymetric-GARCH(p,q) model to predict the lowest and the most significant change in oil price probable to α-significant. The Asymmetric-GARCH is the modification of the conventional GARCH(p,q) model with the asymmetry distribution, and V@R (Value-at-risk) is the interval-prediction measure that is more robust than the point prediction. At the end of this study, the prediction values are used to calculate the economic quantities under the production sharing contract (PSC) scheme using Gross-Split Methods. The results presented in this paper can help investors or company management make better decisions in evaluating the potential of oil or gas projects.","PeriodicalId":442360,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Indonesian Petroleum Association, 46th Annual Convention & Exhibition, 2022","volume":"1 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":"131153320","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}
