Optimal revenue of oil and gas fields is of interest due to high price and limited amount of these sources of energy. In this way, smart well technology provides a numerous range of benefits and for these great advantageous is widely used in oil/gas industry. This technology involves down-hole measurement and control of well bore and reservoir flow. One of the most important down-hole control subsystems in a smart well is pressure and temperature sensing system which can help the reservoir being modeled accurately. The purpose of this paper is to design and analysis a new sensory package for a desired oil well. A brief review of the advantages of fiber optic sensing technology in smart well control system is performed. Having studied several possibilities of installation systems for sensors, a new arrangement and casing for temperature/pressure sensor is developed here. Effect of pressure and temperature on stress distribution in the casing has been investigated and a suitable casing is obtained.

Abstract Drilling is traditionally considered as one of the most challenging and expensive areas in oil and gas industry, and its efficiency, against the background with the of unstable forecast in current situation with growing oil prices, both defines the efficiency of capital investments at well construction stage and the cost of production as a whole. Changing drilling conditions, such as well depths, their complicated architectures due to reservoir depletion and their complex localization conditions, pose the task of attracting advanced technologies aimed at modifying the labor process, reduction in costs and increase in production efficiency ("GazpromNeft", 2015). However, not all such procedures are mass-produced due to high price that you need to pay for them, as well as possible limitations of obtaining these technologies. There is a need to implement the tasks in short term with the available resources without involving any expensive equipment and additional personnel (Litvinenko et al., 2017). This opportunity is opened by effective data management in the progress of well construction as well as in information and analytical supporting tools that allow you to receive, process and control this data in a short time and to take the appropriate management decisions based on it (Ivanov, 2017). Of course, one of the foundations in the controlling over the industrial processes is the reference book of time standards to perform basic operations in drilling and casing the wells (Unified Time Regulations in Process, 1987), which is mainly aimed at preventing unjustified costs during the process of well construction (excess time), planning the duration of operations, conducting procedures to select the applicants for work.

The development of the global oil industry is closely related to the exploration of new oil and gas fields through the drilling new deep and ultra-deep wells, as well as the application of modern methods of hydrocarbon production. Usage of new methods of production, increasing the depth of the wells, bottomhole temperatures and pressures sets strict requirements and restrictions for the applied plugging materials. Oil well cements must have a long time of thickening to successfully complete the cementing process, grouting stone must have high strength characteristics, heat-resistant properties at high temperatures and provide reliable isolation of the annulus, also have corrosion resistance, ensure durability of the well lining.

The oil and gas industry in Indonesia has been started since 1871 by Royal Dutch Shell. Meanwhile, the oil and gas industry in Aceh began in 1971 which was marked by the discovery of the Arun oil and gas fields. At that time, the management of oil and gas is done centrally by not involving the Government of Aceh as a regional producer. This led to armed conflict between the Government of Indonesia and the Free Aceh Movement and prolonged conflict (for 32 years) ended with the approval of the joint oil and gas management pattern found in the territory of Aceh as stipulated in the MoU Helsinki on August 15 2005, Law No. 11 of 2006 concerning the Government of Aceh and Government Regulation No. 23 of 2015 concerning Joint Management of Oil and Gas in Aceh. In order to finalize joint oil and gas management in Aceh, universities, especially the Faculty of Law, need to immediately prepare human resources who are competent in the oil and gas and energy law so that they are skilled at negotiating and drafting a Production Sharing Contracts (PSC) for oil and gas or Kontrak Bagi Hasil (KBH). For this purpose, law faculties need to immediately incorporate oil and gas and energy law courses into their curriculum.

Abstract Cementing operations in deepwater exhibit many challenges worldwide due to shallow flows. Cement sheath integrity and durability play key roles in the oil and gas industry, particularly during drilling and completion stages. Cement sealability serves in maintaining the well integrity by preventing fluid migration to surface and adjacent formations. Failure of cement to seal the annulus can lead to serious dilemmas that may result in loss of well integrity. Gas migration through cemented annulus has been a major issue in the oil and gas industry for decades. Anti-gas migration additives are usually mixed with the cement slurry to combat and prevent gas migration. In fact, these additives enhance and improve the cement sealability, bonding, and serve in preventing microannuli evolution. Cement sealability can be assessed and evaluated by their ability to seal and prevent any leakage through and around the cemented annulus. Few laboratory studies have been conducted to evaluate the sealability of oil well cement. In this study, a setup was built to simulate the gas migration through and around the cement. A series of experiments were conducted on these setups to examine the cement sealability of neat Class H cement and also to evaluate the effect of anti-gas migration additives on the cement sealability. Different additives were used in this setup such as microsilica, fly ash, nanomaterials and latex. Experiments conducted in this work revealed that the cement (without anti-gas migration additive) lack the ability to seal the annulus. Cement slurries prepared with latex improved the cement sealability and mitigated gas migration for a longer time compared to the other slurries. The cement slurry formulated with a commercial additive completely prevented gas migration and proved to be a gas tight. Also, it was found that slurries with short gas transit times have a decent potential to mitigate gas migration, and this depends on the additives used to prepare the cement slurry.

This work brings together aspects of scanning thermal microscopy (SThM) and scanning spreading resistance microscopy (SRM) into a single tool for thermoelectric measurement. The measurement tool presented here allows simultaneous electrical and thermal measurement of samples using a probe tip of radius on the order of 50 nm. Thermal and mechanical design allow topographic resolution on the order of 4Å while minimizing detrimental heat flow from the probe to sample. This tool integrates sensors allowing for heat flux measurement and control, enabling a variety of thermal, electrical and thermoelectric measurements. Preliminary thermal and electrical measurements of bismuth telluride nanowire arrays demonstrate the capabilities of this scanning probe design.

Oil well tubing is used in oil extraction in offshore oil well. Under the force of tubular columns, erosion and pressure of drilling fluids, the oil well tubing usually fails in long-term service, which always leads to accidents and stagnation of production. So it’s especially necessary to detect faults in tubing. Intense-magnetic memory testing equipment for reusable offshore oil well tubing is developed for this consideration. The equipment is composed of feeding machines, baiting machines, transport machines and a detection machine. Measurement and control system decides the running sequence logic of these components and obtains fault signals of tubing. The avoidance of transport machines for oil well tubing coupling makes the transport of tubing stable. The synchronization control of transport and detection of tubing decides the accurate location of faults. The automatic switch of both detection units and measurement of fault signals makes it convenient to detect oil well tubing of multiple sizes.

One of the main problems the construction industry faces is the high cost and slow execution time due to inadequate planning, which results in poor use of human resources. A common solution for reducing time and costs is the adoption of prefabricated components (prefabs). This paper proposes a novel methodology for interdisciplinary man­agement of construction projects by integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Lean Thinking to improve the production planning and control of pipe-rack modules in an industrial facility. The article first presents a literature review to assess the key synergies between BIM and Lean Thinking. These led to the development of a new integrated work methodology named Digital Obeya Room. This model focuses on the required workflows, the analysis of collected data, and the visual management of construction planning and control. A real-world empirical study in the Oil and Gas industry evaluated how the newly devised practices could improve prefabrication and preassembly planning. The pro­posed methodology was capable of reducing the welding-time in 8.7% related on global prefabrication average in con­struction projects from Fails Management Institute (FMI) prefabrication report survey 2017.
