Intelligent Wells: Reservoir Next-gen Innovation
Abstract: Intelligent wells are a game-changing tool to the oil industry, which helps us reach our goal of getting maximum oil production with minimum cost in the safest and fastest way possible. This gives us the ability to monitor and remotely be aware of the downhole condition and respond quickly to any pressing issues either expected or unexpected in the reservoir performance. It was basically introduced to deal with the water …

Wax Deposition Profile Estimation in Production Pipeline Review
Abstract: Wax deposition has been a major challenge in flow assurance of paraffinic crude oils. A major problem occurs because of a decrease in the bulk oil flowing and pipe wall temperatures. Wax deposits form when the temperature of the produced fluid falls below the wax appearance temperature or the cloud point temperature. Problems like pipeline plugging, increased pumping pressure and reduction in production rates are very common. Sophisticated mechanical and …

Characteristic study of Block and Bleed Valve in Petrochemicals Industries for the Steam Supply
Abstract: This paper gives the idea of the use of the on/off valves in Petrochemical Industries for the steam supply. The on/off valves are used to block the inlet and the outlet side in the process when the pressure at the outlet is less than the inlet. The pressure switch is used to set identify the pressure drop and when the pressure is less than the set pressure the switch gets …

Performance of Water Injection in Oil Rim Reservoir Recovery Factor
Abstract: This study examines the potential improvements in recovery factors in optimizing oil production from oil rim reservoirs through water injection and without water injection (i.e. primary production) scenarios in the development strategies of the oil rim reservoirs. A generic simulation model developed from ECLIPSE dynamic simulator was used as core representative of oil rim reservoirs to experiment production optimization with and without water injection. Reservoir data of permeability, oil rim …

Mathematical Modeling of Managed Pressure Drilling
Abstract: Managed pressure drilling (MPD) is an adaptive pressure drilling technique, which is preferably used in matured oil fields. This brings in the various issues of matured fields which can be easily managed by the MPD. Paper presents the mind map which can be used for further development of this technique. Further, it also presents the parametric mathematical modeling of MPD which can be used for adaptive control and demonstration. Four …
