The Status

Sand production is a serious problem during the exploitation of oil wells, and people put forward the concept of limited sand to alleviate this problem. Oil production with limited sanding is an efficient mod of production. In order to complete limited sand exploitation, improve the productivity of oil wells, a real-time sand monitoring system is needed to monitor the status of wells production. Besides acoustic sand monitoring and erosion-based sand monitoring, a vibration-based sand monitoring system with two installing styles is proposed recently. The paper points out the relationships between sand monitoring signals collected under intrusive and non-intrusive installing styles and sanding parameters, which lays a good foundation for further study and actual sand monitoring in oil field.

Summary In this paper, we study the simulation and fault diagnosis of a conventional pumping unit under balanced conditions. As the energy input of sucker-rod pumping (SRP), the motor power contains abundant information about the whole pumping cycle under SRP. It is an important step in oilfield information construction to establish a computer-aided system that is based on motor power diagnosis. Hence, we propose an SRP simulation model for generating motor power. By analyzing the working conditions of six oil wells that contain normal or insufficient liquid supply, gas lock, traveling valve leakage, standing valve leakage, and parting rod, we simulate the motor power of the six wells. In addition, we verify the simulation model using a test well with favorable performance and establish the motor power template set (MPTS) using this simulation model. To allow for computer-aided diagnosis, we propose the use of the area proportion method to extract motor power features. We establish a diagnosis model of oilwell conditions that is based on oblique decision tree and train the diagnosis model using the MPTS. Through the verification of six oil wells in the actual production of the oil field, the diagnosis model shows a favorable response. The test results show that the methods of establishing MPTS and oilwell working-condition diagnosis are feasible.

Electrical Submersible Pumps

Numerous oil wells within Rumaila field contain Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESPs). ESPs are utilised to maximise the oil production from existing wells by providing artificial lift where pressure is low, which helps maintain oil production levels. The number of ESPs installed throughout the Rumaila. Field is growing consistently to sustain oil field production. Due to the remote locations for each of the ESPs the current strategy is to supply power to ESPs using individual diesel engine generators located at each remote ESP well site. This is an inefficient design, as individual diesel engines are resource intensive due to maintenance and frequent diesel filling. The generators are also a source of significant unreliability causing ESP shutdowns/trips resulting in extended downtime. Given the above a Pre-FEED has been carried out considering supplying ESPs using OHTL’s supplying electrical power from EPP to ESPs in Area C. by uses parallel operation of diesel Generators , we could to constrict 124 from 184 and use 60 only ,by this we get high economic gain and technique, in additional that environmental protection by decreasing pollution.

Water Cut

There are numerous oil fields that are approaching the end of their lifetime and that have great geothermal potential considering temperature and water cut. On the other hand, the oil industry is facing challenges due to increasingly stringent environmental regulations. An example of this is the case of France where oil extraction will be forbidden starting from the year 2035. Therefore, some oil companies are considering switching from the oil business to investing in geothermal projects conducted on existing oil wells. The proposed methodology and developed conversions present the evaluation of existing geothermal potentials for each oil field in terms of water temperature and flow rate. An additional important aspect is also the spatial distribution of existing oil wells related to the specific oil field. This paper proposes a two-stage clustering approach for grouping similar wells in terms of their temperature properties. Once grouped on a temperature basis, these clusters should be clustered once more with respect to their spatial arrangement in order to optimize the location of production facilities. The outputs regarding production quantities and economic and environmental aspects will provide insight into the optimal scenario for oil-to-water conversion. The scenarios differ in terms of produced energy and technology used. A case study has been developed where the comparison of overall fields and clustered fields is shown, together with the formed scenarios that can further determine the possible conversion of petroleum assets to a geothermal assets.

Entry Points

Production logging tools (PLTs) in oil and gas industries are used for obtaining fluid types and measuring fluid rates in the borehole for both production and injection wells and to better understand the well productivity or the well injectivity of the interest zones. Additionally, it can be used to detect well problems, such as early water or gas breakthrough, channeling behind casing or tubing, and water or gas coning. The Khurmala field is a big oil field in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. PLTs have been acquired in many of the Khurmala oil wells, and the log records took into consideration the production technique decisions. In this study, results of the PLT log will be discussed in one of the Khurmala oil wells. Owing to the long history of production of oil or gas wells, many problems have been seen, such as coning either water or gas, formation damage, casing corrosion, and well obstruct. This research will evaluate the production profile across the slotted liner interval of (W1) well in the Khurmala oil field in the Iraq-Kurdistan region and detect possible water entry points, verify the distribution and nature of fluids, and estimate fluid segregation after the shut-in period. This was done by applying PLTs and interpreting the data by using Emeraude software. The performance of each choke size was studied and assessed. It was found that a choke size of 48/64̎gives the best favorable production gas, oil ratio, and profile. Results from the PL survey showed that no water entry was detected across the logged interval. All the water was coming from below a depth of 990 m; most of the hydrocarbons were coming from the slotted interval across 981.8-982.9 m, and the flowing pressure across the logged interval using maximum choke was less than the saturation pressure.

Abstract Laboratory and field tests are reported for titanium parts for gas lift valves and down-hole oil well pumps. While titanium performed well in the laboratory tests using aerated fluids, and did well in field tests of gas lift wells, similar trials in wells pumping sour crude oil well showed titanium to be inferior to normally used materials. Authors conclude titanium is suitable for use in gas lift valves and could be competitive to presently used materials at a lower price. They conclude titanium is not suitable for use in oil well pumps, but might perform better if hardened. It also is at a competitive disadvantage to commonly used materials costwise. While titanium is cathodic to materials commonly used in oil wells, no marked corrosion was attributed to this property after exposure of coupon sets in a producing well. Titanium was found resistant to abrasion by sand-laden aerated oil well fluids in laboratory tests. 6.3.15, 8.4.3

Special Services

Onshore oil wells depend on special services like cleaning, reinstatement and stimulation. These services, which are performed by a short number of workover rigs, are important to keep oil production as optimum as possible. Consequently, scheduling must be determined, where several factors interfere, such as production, service to be performed on each well, and time windows for each service. When a well needs service, its production is interrupted. In this regard, the workover rig scheduling problem consists of finding the best sequence of wells, which minimizes the production loss associated with the wells waiting for maintenance. In this paper, the authors present a Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP) with Path-Relinking (PR) to solve this problem. Computational results are obtained from real problems of a Brazilian oil field.
