GEOLOGY, PROSPECTING AND EXPLORATION OF OIL AND GAS FIELDS

6-11 337
Abstract

In 2007-2008 the construction of the trunk gas pipeline Bovanenkovo-Ukhta started. The initial phase of the operation was characterized by mass manifestation of soil subsidence and flooding, which accounted for 63% of all the manifestations. The underground or tunnel thermal erosion prevails over the surface one more than twice. The processes of soil sliding and movement produce a significant impact on the pipeline bar and thermodenudation is less developed.

Abstract

The paper presents a methodology for studying the structure and formation conditions of the reservoir BP16 n the oil field Vyngayakhinskoye through the use of structural and genetic analysis. It shows the sequence of the sedimentation model construction. The model clarification is made by distinguishing the depositional environments through using the electric facies analysis, which contributes to the objective interpretation of sedimentary environments in the areas not identified by drilling. The conclusions about the structure and conditions of the reservoir BP16 formation are presented.

DRILLING OF WELLS AND FIELDS DEVELOPMENT

17-24 309
Abstract

The numerical algorithm was developed for joint modeling of fluid influx from the productive layer into the well through a system of perforation channels. The fluid movement in the porous medium is described based on the linear flow Darcy’s law. The perforation channels in the porous medium and in the borehole are realized as one-dimensional linear drains. The flows in perforation channels and in the borehole are described within the approximation of the pipe hydraulics with the possibility to take into account both laminar and turbulent regimes. The influence of perforation channels and borehole flow regimes on the efficiency of system in the whole is analyzed using systematic calculations.

Abstract

Methods of the bottom-hole zone treatment in oil and gas wells in the multilayer fields are considered. It is noted, that for effective intensification of gas inflow from the producing formation the individual processing of each layer is necessary with isolating the layers from each other. Some technologies of the formation bottomhole zone treatment are proposed which include using coiltubing systems and inflatable packers to isolate the layers from each other or blocking the untreated layers with a sand bridge.

Abstract

Operation of the top drive systems has revealed a significant disadvantage, in particular, large-amplitude vibrations of the system "top-drive - drilling rig - drilling column", which inevitably leads to a failure of the drive mounts to the rig, accumulation of fatigue damages of the drill column and other harmful consequences that affect the reliability of the whole system. Based on the mechanical model of the spinner rig an analytical study of the dynamics of the top drive system was conducted and the solutions that characterize the nature of the system oscillations were obtained and analyzed. The relationships of forced vibrations amplitude of the top drive system were analyzed. As a result the operation parameters of the drive load at which the resonance phenomenon occurs were determined.

Abstract

The article reviews the mathematical modeling as a method of research. For obtaining the numerical solution the mathematical model is realized on a computer in the form of applied programs. Using the results of numerical simulation the relationships between the density of the heat flow and the pipeline diameter at its surface laying are received. The calculations were run for various diameters of pipes with a different thickness of insulation.

Abstract

The problem of the underground gas pipeline floating up at frozen ground thawing in the sites, where the body weight of the gas pipeline is less than the pushing out force of the aqueous medium surrounding the site is considered. The calculations are made to determine the conditions of the gas pipeline site movement resulted from the water pushing out force and longitudinal compressive stresses for the cases with partial (with preservation of a frozen ground) and complete ground thawing. The conditions at which the deflected mode of the gas pipeline resulted from its floating-up within the thawed ground layer cannot satisfy the requirements established in normative documents are determined.

Abstract

A variation in natural gas temperature in the centrifugal injectors of compressor stations is analyzed. It is commonly assumed that this process has a polytropic nature, the power index in the polytropic relation being different from the adiabatic exponent. Taking into account the transported gas real properties demonstrates that gas compression in the compressor station centrifugal injectors presents a thermodynamic process fairly close to the adiabatic one and the influence of the irreversibility and gas heat exchange with the surrounding equipment plays a significantly less role than it was thought earlier.

Abstract

It is demonstrated that using phosphorgypsum, the chemical industry waste, as a coagulant dramatically improves the filtration ability of cuttings due to reducing the sodium and potassium content in the absorbing complex and aqueous extract. It is proved that the increased cuttings filtering leads to removal of water soluble salts and pH decrease from 9.77 to 8.36.
