The Energy Transition, which is rapidly developing all over the world, has been actively discussed in Russia only in recent years, in connection with the adoption of the Paris Climate Agreement and the approach of the introduction of cross-border carbon regulation by the countries of the European Union. SPE is scheduled to hold a seminar on the topic of Energy Transition.

The energy transformation - the gradual transition of the energy complex from the use of fossil fuels to carbon-neutral, including renewable sources - has affected the whole world to one degree or another.

This SPE seminar provides an opportunity to discuss energy transformation with experts not only from Russia, but also from abroad, we will talk about already planned projects and what has been implemented - in Russia, Europe, America and the East. We will devote a separate session to an important part of energy transformation - decarbonization. We have focused on those areas that are already being implemented in Russia and the Caspian region, or may be implemented in the near future: energy efficiency improvement, CO2 capture, transport and disposal/disposal, and the use of CO2 as a EOR.

Participation is free.

ESP Surveillance and Optimization System in “Smart Fields” of Salym Petroleum Development

 

Anastasia Musorina

Salym Petroleum Development - Production programmer (WRFM)

 

She has more than 7 years of working experience in oil production companies in the area of monitoring the operation of ESPs (electrical submersible pumps), proactive monitoring of oil production and water injection indicators in the area of waterflooding, determining deviations from expected values ​​/ operating limits in order to introduce corrective actions. She is a member of the SPE and a member of the Organizational and Technical Committees of the International ESP Symposium - SPE Electric Submersible Pumps Symposium, Houston, USA - the largest ESP event in the world. Also she is the author of articles in Russian and foreign industry books and magazines.

In current conditions of oil and gas production the highest significance is the use of intellectual control technologies improving operational activities of the company. The main task of intellectual system is optimization of production, technical solutions, processes of planning and operational expenditures.

SPD pays significant attention to issues of optimization of oil production and production energy efficiency, and in this relation in the beginning of 2016 the company developed and implemented a program of daily analysis of production well stock operation and making decisions on optimization of their operating modes called “Optimization Register”. 

This system is integration of well and equipment operating parameters  in real time mode and technical information from different databases into one base with automatic check of data correctness. This allows to promptly draw attention of Analytical Engineer to arising problems with the well, create a request for actions to re-establish operating mode and send the request to responsible persons for implementation of required actions to stabilize its operating mode. All requests are created in the program and automatically sent to performers. Time of request submission and its closure is strictly recorded by the program, which allows to assess prompt work of different services in the company.

Automatic detection of destabilization of well and/or equipment operating mode, creation and implementation of requests within limits of work optimization now presents a closed cross-functional cycle of information delivery allowing each participant to have all updated information on specific well and leave comments related to his/her responsibility area.

 

Sand production due rock failure can have a severe impact on the economics of an oil or gas field. Erosion of the downhole or surface components by sand can lead to loss of integrity and hydrocarbon leakage. Production rates may need to be reduced to limit sand from flowing to the surface or filling the wells. Sand handling, either at surface or flushing from downhole, adds expense to lifting costs.
Poor completion decisions at the beginning of production can risk the viability of the field sand management over the life of a field, to maintain economic productivity, needs accurate prediction of sand failure and completion design to increase both productivity and ultimate recovery.

This talk will explain the root cause of sand production to solution. The geomechanics aspect of the rock itself honoring the physics of solid and fluid mechanics relevant to sanding from weak or very weak sandstones, and then uses this understanding to suggest ways of designing screenless completions to take advantage of these aspects to avoid and/or control sand production.
This presentation aims to explain questions on why, how, when and where, how much related sand production. Discuss the methodology to forecast the sand production mechanicsm. Finally the mitigation plans using perforation strategy and completion options. The benefits for life of the field either to avoid or control the sand produce to surface

Abstract
The discovery of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) phenomenon spawned innovative diagnostic
technologies that facilitated advancements in a wide range of disciplines including medicine, chemistry
and earth sciences. Geologists observed that in a manner similar to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
that revolutionized medical imaging, NMR measurements illuminate pore-filling fluids inside a porous
rock and provide unique insight to porosity, pore size and/or fluid viscosity without any damage to the
sample.
For the oil and gas industry, this sensor technology has become everyday reality with the development
of NMR well-logging tools. Since the first modern NMR logs in the early 1990s, NMR logging enhanced
formation evaluation in complex reservoir rocks such as heterogeneous carbonates and silty sands and
enabled reservoir fluid characterization in the presence of fresh water, heavy oil or variable gas-oil ratio.
More recently, with the development of logging-while-drilling (LWD) tools, NMR petrophysics is
available for real-time reservoir navigation.
With these advancements, upstream operators can realize significant value in their exploration,
evaluation and field development activities. First, the cost and time savings by optimizing formation
testing, sampling and well testing operations thanks to the more accurate reservoir quality and fluid
mobility evaluation significantly outweigh measurement costs in most cases. Second, NMR logs uncover
hidden reservoirs with low resistivity contrast in the presence of laminar shales or carbonate
microporosity. Finally, NMR-driven placement of injector and producer wells reduces field development
costs and potentially increases hydrocarbon recovery.
This lecture shares the lessons of two decades of learning by an experienced operator with field
examples that show how to increase operational efficiency and improve reservoir understanding with
wireline and LWD NMR logging technology. Participants are encouraged to bring their own logs for
customized review and discussion.

SPE Beyond the Borders

From September 19 to 21 2019 a European scientific and technical event of the asset of young engineers of the SPE Beyond the Borders sections from nine European countries: Romania, Italy, Israel, Germany, Poland, Ukraine, Portugal, Austria and Russia was held in Bucharest in order to promote professional and the personal development of young industry engineers, the expansion of communications, the exchange of experience and increased horizons. From the Moscow section, Veronika Korepanova, chairman of the young engineers of the Moscow section of SPE, and Ekaterina Timokhina, a member of the Moscow section of SPE, took part in this international scientific and technical event. Within three days, experts took part in the panel discussion “Business Transformation for a Sustainable Future”, as listeners of five reports from a group of experts from various energy sectors, visited the Petrom Dealu Batran Steam Injection fields, participated in the Lean Six Sigma Training workshop, visited a unique place - this is Mount Sinaia and took part in event "Debate-Future of Oil and Gas". In the framework of which colleagues, having divided into four teams, actively publicly exchanged thoughts on relevant topics: “Renewable energy vs Fossil fuels” and “Biggest risk to human is artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence better than humans”.

After a three-hour debate on two topics, the commission identified two winning teams. The winner in the “Renewable energy vs Fossil fuels” theme was a team consisting of colleagues from Poland, Austria and Romania, and the winner in the “Biggest risk to human is artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence better than humans” has become a team composed of experts from Romania, Italy and Russia. The whole event ended with a pleasant joint photo. All participants of the event expressed great gratitude to the Colleagues of the SPE Romanian section for the excellent organization and the Management of the Companies for supporting young professionals and at world class events.

 

С 6 по 8 июня 2019 года в Париже состоялось европейское научно-техническое мероприятие актива молодых специалистов секций SPE Beyond the Borders из 6 европейских стран: Франции, Италии, Румынии, Португалии, Германии и России. Из московской секции SPE были приглашены два участника: из ООО ЛУКОЙЛ-Инжиниринг» Вероника Корепанова, которая является председателем молодых специалистов московской секции SPE и из РГУ нефти и газа им. И.М. Губкина Влада Стрелецкая, возглавляющая студенческое направление SPE.

В рамках первого дня специалисты приняли участие в качестве слушателей двух докладов: «Управление инновациями» от компании Subsea 7 и «Топливо для морского сектора» от компании Platform gnl marine and fluvial.

Второй день в рамках однодневной поездки был связан с посещением Нормандии. Одним из центральных событий стал визит на завод мирового уровня Flexi France, где TechnipFMC производит гибкие трубы, которые, также применяются при обустройстве месторождений как на суше, так и на море. Молодые специалисты получили уникальную возможность увидеть последовательность полного цикла подготовки гибких труб по технологии, которая была впервые разработана во Франции в 1970-х годах.

Не менее интересным визитом стало посещение завода SEDIBEX по переработке отходов, в том числе нефтяных, с близлежащих нефтеперерабатывающих заводов.

На третий день научно-технического мероприятия для молодых специалистов Beyond the Borders был приглашен эксперт по вопросам энергетики Philippe Charlez из Institute Sapiens, вызвавший своим докладом огромный интерес участников. Вторая половина дня продолжилась обменом информацией по проводимым научно-техническим мероприятиям в каждой Стране, в виде докладов от председателей секций SPE. Это была прекрасная возможность обсудить и поделиться успехами и проблемами активного членства в секциях SPE молодого поколения.

В знак благодарности за открытость к совместному сотрудничеству от московской секции SPE председателям из французской и итальянской секции молодых специалистов SPE был вручён русский сувенир «Матрёшка - символ России и русской души».

После трех активных дней мероприятия для группы участников была подготовлена удивительная экскурсия по достопримечательностям Парижа. Участники выражают огромную благодарность за организацию мероприятия секциям SPE и Руководству Компаниям за поддержку молодых специалистов в стремлении к развитию и совершенствованию своих знаний.

 

This lecture presents approaches for increasing production from horizontal wells with multistage fracture (HWMSF) completions in conventional reservoirs. HWMSF completions are now regularly being drilled and completed in low-to-mid-permeability oil-bearing conventional reservoirs (k<10 md) where the oilfield is under waterflooding. Although the industry has closed the HWMSF technology gap of drilling and completing these wells, the productivity has been below the expected levelThe production is characterized by either an early-time relatively high production rate followed by a steep production decline and water breakthrough or low initial production and even lower late-time production. What went wrong and what can be done? The lessons learned in unconventional reservoirs are not pertinent to conventional formations. Hence, the problem was examined from the reservoir standpoint, focusing on achieving adequate pressure support to maximize drainage, revising the waterflood process through drilling patterns, and evaluating the specific completion techniques. Equally, the question warrants answers on current HWMSF restimulation, addressing methodology applied to specific completion design, the horizontal wellbore azimuthal orientation within the stress field, and, finallythe operating condition of the injector and producer wells. The lecture discusses novel designs for refracturing and for future reservoir development, and, at the same time, is a plea to the drilling, completion, and reservoir engineering teams to integrate their competencies to optimize these complex production systems.
