GEOLOGY, PROSPECTING AND EXPLORATION OF OIL AND GAS FIELDS
The object of research in this article is the productive deposits of the pre-Jurassic complex. The pre-Jurassic complex is of great interest, this is an unconventional reservoir with a complex structure and developed fractured zones. High flow rates cannot be determined by the rock matrix, since the matrix permeability coefficient is on average 2−3 md. In this regard, there is the problem of separation of fractured intervals according to a standard set of well testing.
Facies cube is a required part of a static model, especially concerning fields characterized by complicated geological structure. The important quantitative limitations for modeling are facies proportions in the formation volume. Nowadays these proportions are calculated using standard geostatistical methods without considering particular properties of facies data. These properties are specific geometrical characteristics of sedimentological units. The consequences are significant differences between calculated and actual data and unreliable hydrocarbon reserves estimation.
In order to enhance reliability of reserves estimation on the basis of 3D static models, this article is devoted to special methods of geostatistical analysis for facies data: object geometrization and object clustering. These methods allow taking into account specific geometrical parameters of formations deposited in different environments, therefore, allow reducing differences between calculated and actual facies data and enhancing reliability of reserves estimation.
Due to the high degree of production of oil reserves in Western Siberia, geological exploration has been carried out mainly on complex objects for the last 10 to 15 years. The complexity of the task increases because of the fact that the predictive properties of seismic data on such objects are not high. All this leads to low efficiency of geological exploration.
In order to increase the efficiency of geological exploration of complex objects, we have proposed a methodology, in which, based on the results of a comprehensive analysis of diverse geological and geophysical information, a model of the quality of hydrocarbon reserves has been built. The ranking of the zones of the quality map of reserves will justify the most effective strategy of geological exploration, that is, the strategy with the least risks. In proposed methodology, special attention is paid to assessing the economic impact of involving reserves in industrial development. Testing of the methodology on reservoir rocks of the J2/1 layer within the Surgut arch has showed its rather high forecast properties.
DRILLING OF WELLS AND FIELDS DEVELOPMENT
This article is the result of studies of rheological properties and reactivity of acid solutions of technical lignosulfonate, decationized lignosulfonic acid, and hydrochloric acid with the addition of lignosulfonate. Compositions that include lignosulfonate can be used as displacement agents in the development of watered layers with inhomogeneous reservoir properties. The use of thickening additives in acid solutions solves several problems. Slowing the reaction rate will allow the acid flow to leak in the reservoir deeper, with saving of acid capacity. The height viscosity of the compositions increases the sweep efficiency of the bottomhole zone by acid treatment. Due to the fact that thickening additives in the compositions have a high concentration, selective isolation of highly permeable areas of the reservoir can be realized, which, in turn, contributes to the formation of new pore channels.
We evaluated the reactivity of acid solutions with thickening additives in the interaction with carbonate samples. The presence of technical lignosulfonate in an acid solution reduces the dissolution rate of samples. Slowing down the reaction rate will allow the acid composition to form long channels of high permeability, which, in turn, increases the efficiency of acid treatment.
The article considers the problem connected with the study of well drilling rates in complex reservoirs. Its solution is presented in the form of a neural network model that takes into account the structural, geomechanical and technological features of the «rock mass — well» system.
The possibility of predicting the well drilling method with different strength and structural-lithological characteristics of the massif, based on neural network modeling, is presented.
The purpose of this study is to obtain mathematical models for analysis of the probabilistic and statistical patterns of well drilling processes in conditions of uncertainty.
The scientific novelty of the work performed is the qualitative and quantitative assessment of the mutual influence of geological and technological factors on the well drilling rate; search for optimal well drilling modes in complex reservoirs on the basis of mathematical modeling.
DESIGNING, CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF PIPELINE TRANSPORT SYSTEM
The article proposes the design, design scheme and model of a vertical ground electrode system with lobe lugs for permafrost soils. The model was implemented using the ANSYS software. In the design scheme, the soil — ground electrode system is taken into account, the elastic-plastic properties of the soil are taken into account by the Drucker — Prager model. When modeling the work of the foundation soils, the Mises strength condition was adopted, according to which the equivalent stress is calculated under the condition of the material hydrostatic compression. The following boundary conditions are accepted: a cylinder-shaped soil mass is rigidly fixed along the lower face and along the side surface of the cylinder. Calculations are made for 5 standard sizes of grounding conductors. Maps of the distribution of stresses in the metal structure of the ground electrode (the rod and petals-emphasis) are received, the movements of the ground electrode in the soil mass are determined. The dependences between the maximum equivalent stresses in the ground electrode lobes and the value of vertical displacement in the ground base are established, as well as the amount of movement of the earthing pad, at which the effective equivalent voltages reach critical values in the area where the paddles are adjacent to the rod.
CHEMISTRY AND CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGIES
The article deals with the issues of improving the quality of highly watered well production fluid processing using chemical demulsifier reactants at crude oil processing facilities; the analysis of the use of the reactants at the Samotlor field has been made. The article presents the results of the study of the effectiveness of the "Hercules 2202 grade A" and "SNPH-4460-2" demulsifiers in comparison with the indicators of oil and bottom water processing achieved in the presence of the reactants used at existing facilities; their optimal consumption has been determined. The study has shown that the selected demulsifiers provide the required quality of the oil and water under processing at the considered oil processing facilities and can be used along with the basic reactants for these facilities. On the basis of total indicators, the best results have been achieved using "Hercules 2202 grade A" with the improved indicators of water cut and residual oil content in water by 33.9 % and 2.8 % while reducing the reactant consumption by 9.7 % compared to the basic demulsifier.
ORGANIZATION OF PRODUCTION AND ENSURING THE SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLINESS OF PRODUCTION PROCESSES IN THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY
Today, there are several ways to obtain polystyrene foam. Unfortunately, not every constructive solution, being suitable for solving heat engineering and other problems, turns out to be optimal in terms of creating a heat-insulating, noise and sound-absorbing material that meets the following requirements: energy saving, energy efficiency, minimization of waste generation during its manufacture, increasing labor productivity and reducing costs. We have created a cassette technology for producing polystyrene foam without a press. The proposed technology makes it possible to obtain polystyrene plates of the required thickness with a compacted surface layer, simplifies the design for the formation of polystyrene plates, reduces the cost of foam plastic production, and creates ease of maintenance and obtaining up to ten foam plastic sheets in one cycle at a time. The advantage of the technology is that each foam sheet of the required thickness has a compacted surface layer, which reduces the water and moisture absorption of the foam and leads to an increase in the energy efficiency of the resulting plates and the disappearance of waste. In addition, this block form has a simplified design, it doesn't require pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders, pumps, etc., which reduces the cost of foam plates, facilitates labor and ensures the safety of operation of this equipment. Also, this unit is mobile, it can be used on a construction site, which is important for northern territories characterized by active development of oil and gas fields, placing it in shift camps of the oil and gas industry in the Arctic for the production of construction cabins and trailers for shift workers.
