widget: source_sentence: How does the volume and flow rate of cement affect the cementing process in oil and gas wells?
sentences: Overview of International Offshore Decommissioning Regulations: Volume 1 – Facilities  
The Petroleum Code does not make any specific requirements in relation to whether
offshore facilities need to be removed following cessation of production. However, as a
signatory to UNCLOS III/IMO and the Abidjan Convention, the Republic of Guinea is bound
by these international and regional agreements.  
The Environment Code is enforced by the Ministry of Natural Resources, Energy and
Environment. Its key aims are to protect the environment while promoting the use of
natural resources. Title 2/Chapter III of the Environment Code deals with maritime waters
and their resources and Title 5 deals with EIA requirements for major projects., Well Cementing design is a critical component of Well engineering, as efficient cement design ensures the protection of the casing assemblies from fluid corrosion, and ensures the mechanical support of the well. It also ensures that hydraulic communication between different zones is prevented.
Well abandonment is also critical as the design of the slurry required needs to be designed to efficiently keep hydrocarbons in the wellbore and prevent any immediate, short term or long term migration of hydrocarbons to surface.
There are numerous studies and publications discussing the causes of gas migration after primary cement jobs and well abandonment, some of the causes of gas migration have been linked to poor fluid loss control, poor drilling fluid displacement (reduces seal efficiency at the interfaces), and long cement setting times which allows time for gas to percolate through the partially set cement slurry.
This paper highlights the engineering methods, and how they can be used to properly evaluate the cement slurry design to ensure that gas flow through the cement lattice is completely prevented. It assumes that all other issues which involving poor execution (mud displacement, poor slurry mixing, use of low quality materials and chemicals, human errors), are annulled.
The correlations/equations discussed and used for the evaluation of the abandoned case study well (Well XRT) are the Gas Flow Potential, Slurry Performance Number, Hydrostatic Number and Pressure Decay Limit Parameter. Results from critical evaluation with these equations confirmed that the Well XRT was efficiently abandoned.
The paper further recommends that these equations should be used by Well Engineers be used to evaluate slurry designs for casing cementing and abandonment operations, as they will help ensure that the mechanical and hydraulic isolation is efficiently designed for and achieved., This article discusses the big volume top job of oil and gas wells, specifically wells A and B which were drilled in Kuwait. The process involves pumping a larger volume of mixture of cement, water, and other additives into the annulus to seal the wellbore, prevent fluid migration and provide structural support.
The article highlights the need for precision and control to ensure proper placement. The conventional methods like two stage method and lightweight systems used for the wells A and B were not sufficient to get the good zonal isolation throughout the well bore due to the lower fracture gradient observed in this well. The successful zonal isolation was achieved due to pumping large volumes from the annulus.
The wells were under losses before and during the primary cementing process, which was difficult to achieve the desired top of cement (up to surface). To overcome these challenges, the well was cemented in unique unconventional method which is pumping the bigger volumes from the annulus to cover up to loss zone and eliminate any other fluid column in between. Cement Bond Log (CBL) and Variable Density Log (VDL) were taken after a 24 Hrs wait on cement and the results were good, indicating that the wellbore is properly sealed, and the well is structurally stable.
Pumping large volumes of cement through the annulus can be challenging, as it requires a high level of precision and control to ensure that the cement is properly placed. This process is different to that of conventional top jobs carried out by installing cement baskets. The intention of conventional top job methods is to just seal the annulus at surface without paying any attention to mud caps left in the open hole. This has resulted in remedial jobs which has increased the cost or reduced the life span of wells.
One of the key considerations when pumping cement through the annulus is the volumes considered and thickening time. The rate of flow must be carefully controlled to ensure that the cement is properly mixed along with the additives and that it does not become too thick or too thin. In addition, the rate of flow must be adjusted to account for the variations in pressure and temperature that occur as the cement moves through the well.
Cementing also plays an important role in preventing fluid migration. If the well is not properly sealed, there might be inter communication of the fluids which affects the life of the well. The extremely lower frac gradient wells undergo losses Inspite of using the conventional methods (light weight systems and two stage method) and is the reason to follow the unconventional method of cementing from the annulus so that entire well bore from shoe to the surface is properly sealed with cement. This will result in reducing the unnecessary remedial jobs during the life of the well., source_sentence: How do the various water cut measurement techniques compare for suitability in permanent downhole deployment?
sentences: Optimization of hole cleaning remains a vital challenge when planning and drilling deviated, high angle and extended reach wells. Hole cleaning depends on a number of factors and as to date most existing models have been deployed in solving hole cleaning problems. However, the flow rate predicted by these models may not be feasible to apply practically in field operations because it gives a pressure exceeding allowable limits of the pop-up valves on the mud pump. This is the major cause of downtime during drilling operations. This research is aimed at adding value to the existing models in achieving better hole cleaning and reduced down time. This was made possible through the use of cutting monitoring model which is a real time and quantitative tool. A case study on a well being drilled in the Niger Delta was conducted whose from which it was observed that within 5800ft to 11500ft, the hole was not properly clean as less cuttings were recovered. This information was used to initiate hole cleaning procedure. From the validation, the results shows Non-Productive Time associated with hole cleaning has a significant drop of 2-5 days when the cutting monitoring model is used in conjunction with the existing models., Exhumation describes vertical displacements of rocks from maximum depth of burial that results from the removal of overburden material. In this study we invert seismic velocity profiles from 2D and 3D seismic reflection datasets to constrain the distribution and the magnitude of exhumation within the Slyne Basin, offshore NW Ireland. The method has already been successfully applied to 2D datasets offshore Britain and Africa; this study is the first attempt to extract exhumation estimates from 3D seismic data. Inversion of 3D seismic velocity data yields a continuous map of exhumation across the entire 3D footprint. Exhumation estimates from 2D seismic sections agree with estimates from co-located 3D data. However, there is greater scatter in the 2D-derived exhumation estimates, most easily seen at line ties. This scatter in the 2D measurements arises because 2D seismic stacking velocities are less well constrained than 3D velocities. Together, the 2D and 3D seismic stacking velocity profiles can be used to estimate exhumation patterns on spatial scales >10 km to an accuracy of ±200 m. Many estimated changes in exhumation are associated with geological structures, suggesting confidence in the results. The margins of Slyne Basin have undergone about 1 km more erosion than the basin centre to form the Jurassic-Miocene composite unconformity. Inversion anticlines in the centre of the basin have undergone a few hundred metres more erosion at their crests than at their flanks. There is good agreement between 3D seismic-derived exhumation estimates and existing exhumation estimates using traditional techniques applied to borehole data. Overall, our results show that regional exhumation can be mapped in hitherto unprecedented detail using good quality seismic stacking velocity data., This paper addresses the need and challenges associated with the permanent downhole water cut measurement in multiphase flow at an individual lateral level for efficient and reliable water cut management in a multilateral horizontal well environment. Furthermore, it reviews the available water cut measurement techniques and evaluates their suitability for permanent downhole deployment in multilateral horizontal wells. A comprehensive analysis of the state-of-the-art water cut measurement techniques is presented for the first time in this paper to evaluate their suitability for permanent downhole deployment. Downhole water cut measurement challenges are described in detail and a table is presented comparing various techniques against a set of requirements suitable for permanent downhole water cut measurement., source_sentence: What role does AI play in the integrated logistics process in the offshore sector?
sentences: Sustainability has become a pivotal point in the maritime industry, encompassing environmental, economic, and social dimensions. This study investigates the impact of Industry 4.0 technologies on improving maritime logistics sustainability. An extensive literature review will identify key technologies and sustainability goals across these dimensions. Using advanced decision-making frameworks like AI and ML-enabled decision intelligence or Neutrosophic-TOPSIS methods, the impact of these technologies will be quantified and ranked. The results will yield a prioritization of technologies and a strategic roadmap for their implementation, aimed at optimizing resource allocation and enhancing sustainability. This research provides an integrated approach to sustainability and technological adoption, offering a novel, industry-specific roadmap., Detection of production and well events is crucial for planning of production and operational strategies. Event detection is especially challenging in mature fields in which various off-normal events might occur simultaneously. Manual detection of these events by an engineer is a tedious task and prone to errors. On the other hand, abundance of data in mature fields provides an opportunity to employ data-driven methods for an accurate and robust production event detection. In this study a data-driven workflow to automatically detect production events based on signatures of events provided by experts is demonstrated. In the developed workflow, state-of-the-art data-driven methods were integrated with the domain knowledge for an accurate and robust detection. The methodology was applied on several case studies of mature fields suffering from production issues, such as scaling and liquid loading. It was found that the workflow is accurate, robust and computationally efficient which could detect new events (verified by the expert). The demonstrated method could be implemented both in the real-time or offline fashion. Such a workflow is sufficiently generic which can be applied for detection of different events and anomalies than tested and verified in this paper, such as leakage, production losses, …, This case study aims to showcase how integrated logistics in the offshore sector streamline the supply chain process, reduce costs, and improves efficiency. The scope of integrated logistics includes planning, transportation, warehousing, inventory management, and information management, focusing on collaboration and transparency between all stakeholders in the offshore supply chain.
The process of integrated logistics in the offshore sector begins with the cargo booking. A detailed logistics plan and schedule are then developed, outlining the supply chain network, transportation modes, and inventory management strategies. The process is managed by an AI-based platform that automatically creates short and long-term schedules using various cargo and telemetric data. During the execution phase, real-time tracking and monitoring of the supply chain process are crucial to managing disruptions. Continuous improvement is key to optimising the integrated logistics process with a machine learning element to the logistics tool, resulting in increased efficiency, reduced costs, and improved safety and reliability.
Implementing integrated logistics in the offshore sector has yielded several positive results. Firstly, it has improved efficiency in the supply chain process, reducing the time and cost required to move goods and equipment from the point of origin to the point of consumption. Delivery time has been reduced by 23%, achieved by using an AI planning system, real-time tracking, and optimised transportation modes.
Secondly, integrated logistics has helped to maintain high levels of safety by reducing the number of entries into the 500M zone by consolidating cargo and increasing back deck utilisation. Standardised procedures for logistics operations have been established, minimising the risk of errors and improving overall safety.
Thirdly, the implementation of integrated logistics has led to increased collaboration and communication between stakeholders involved in offshore operations, resulting in improved decision-making and reduced delays, as well as better transparency between all elements of the supply chain.
Real-time tracking and monitoring of the supply chain process have been crucial for effectively managing disruptions and addressing issues, which is made possible by automating the process using AI, which is more efficient than manual processes.
The use of integrated logistics in the offshore sector has resulted in an overall cost reduction of 23% on the shipment of goods and a reduction of CO2 emissions by 32%, enabling effective management of the movement of goods and equipment while promoting sustainability.
This approach to integrated offshore logistics will enable effective management of the movement of goods and equipment from the point of origin to the point of consumption and reduce costs for the oil and gas sector while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements., source_sentence: How does the incorporation of polyamine and encapsulation polymer in the HPWBM contribute to clay stabilization?
sentences: Clay bearing shale formations tend to swell upon contact with water-based drilling fluid. The migration of hydrogen ions into the nano-spacing of shale platelets is mainly responsible for its disintegration and swelling. To mitigate the clay swelling problem, various shale stabilization materials are added in the water-based muds (WBMs). Before adding these additives, it is crucial to understand their physical and chemical interactions with clay minerals as well as within fluid. In this study, Taro Root Mucilage (TRM) is used as a green chemical in WBM to decrease the shale swelling characteristics. Taro root was boiled in distilled water at 40°C for 24 h and mucilage was prepared, which was characterized by FTIR and XRD pattern. It was then made part of a mud system, which then interacted with the shale sample collected from the western zone of Pakistan. Moreover, this mucilage was compared with sodium alginate mud system, a biopolymer commonly used in industry. The results of the experimental studies showed that TRM appreciably reduces clay swelling characteristics compared with the distilled water and sodium alginate. Moreover, all the rheological parameters fall under the recommended API range for TRM samples. Furthermore, it was found that the TRM produces a thin filter cake and minimizes fluid loss volume. In addition, during the shale cutting recovery test, 50%, 80% and 100% recoveries were obtained from base mud, whereas 10% and 20% were obtained from TRM based WBM respectively. TRM encapsulates the drilled cutting and preserves it from breaking into smaller fragments. In addition, TRM concentration in drilling mud increases the hydrophobicity of the shale sample. The adsorption of TRM over the surface of shale allows less penetration of water in the nano-spacing of shale structure and improves the shale stability. Hence, the finding in this article implies that TRM can be used as a green and sustainable substitute for traditional clay stabilizers in drilling operations to reduce formation damage. It has all the desired properties that help it to become an alternate solution in the form of a clay swelling inhibitor., Exploration drilling obviously requires a robust drilling fluid system to be a key factor in overcoming both the known and unexpected challenges of a structure that consists of reactive clay and lost circulation zones. Extra consideration has to be given to regulatory environmental requirements and complications resulting from regional politics. A High-Performance Water Based Mud (HPWBM) system was selected to address the aforementioned issues.
The HPWBM was customized to respond to the subsurface conditions with the main requirement to provide maximum shale inhibition through a non-dispersed environment. Polyamine was utilized to stabilize all types of clay; an encapsulation polymer and a non-ionic polymer were included to prevent dispersion and to seal micro-fractures. A complete shale study was performed to determine the optimum concentration of the base fluid and each shale inhibitor. Then hydraulic behaviour of the mud was simulated with contractor proprietary software to understand the parameters for optimal hole cleaning as well as Equivalent Circulating Density (ECD) simulation.
The HPWBM system successfully facilitated the execution of the exploration well and provided highly effective clay stabilization. No Non-Productive Time (NPT) was recorded as a result of reactive clay issues. The mud system also facilitated a good rate of penetration (ROP), formation stability, and lubricity. Waste cuttings transportation was not required. In addition, there is also no requirement for costly base oil including its associated transportation costs. The successful implementation of the HPWBM yielded an estimating saving of 25% compared to invert emulsion fluids, prior to considering costs associated with an expensive Liquid Mud Plant (LMP), environmental, and freight costs. Significant cost savings were achieved by eliminating the need for LMP rental, mobilization and demobilization. Another notable saving was realized from the reduced system maintenance of the HPWBM as less dilution was required compared to a regular Water Based Mud.
Thinking outside of the box and embracing the departure from the default consideration of an invert system with a thorough risk assessment augmented value to wellbore construction. A smartly designed HPWBM system provided performance comparable to an invert emulsion system but with superior benefits with respect to environmental protection, simplified logistics and lower costs., Business Process Outsourcing can be aptly described as the process of forging a contractual relationship with external supplier for the provision of capacity that has been previously undertaken within an organization. In the global oil and gas industry, Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) has emerged in contemporary times as a potent tool in their operational mix. This is particularly hinged on the imperatives to find a delicate balance between rising global demand, diminishing reserves in some of the world's major oil fields, while managing distribution and operating costs. The collapse of crude oil prices from US$100.00 in May 2014 to about US$30.00 and even below in early 2016 has reinforced outsourcing. Empirical studies reveal that outsourcing of non-core activities may result in 25% cost saving associated with on-/near-site operations and as much as 50-75% for offshore operations compared to the cost of engaging in same activities in-house. Apart from cost-cutting, other benefits associated with BPO include a stronger focus on core competencies; improved regulatory conformity and compliance; as well as access to a larger talent pool and novel technologies. The oil and gas industry has emerged as the cornerstone of Nigeria's economy, accounting for about 70% of annual government revenue and more than 90% of the nation's foreign exchange reserves. Since the 1990s, outsourcing has assumed an increasing dimension in the nation's oil and gas industry. Empirical studies reveal, for example, that up until the early 1990s, employees in the oil industry comprised about 70% and 30% of permanent and temporary employees, respectively. The temporary employees were initially focused on non-core activities. However, in recent times core activities are increasingly contracted to service providers, reversing the structure of employment in the industry by 2010, with 40% of permanent employees, while 60% were permanent employees. The increasing replacement of permanent employees with temporary ones has fueled concern in the industry, led by labour unions, which have expressed concern about the sub-standard welfare of contract workers. This development has led the Federal government of Nigeria to issue guidelines on staff contracting and outsourcing in the Nigerian oil and gas industry., source_sentence: How does the predictive reservoir effectiveness model aid in the exploration of the Winduck Interval?
sentences: In recent years, the challenge of reducing accident costs, the results of inquiries into large-scale disasters has highlighted the important role of a proactive approach to safety management.
This has led to many organizations assigning high priority to improve an organization's safety culture. Safety Culture of any organization has an impact on organization image, productivity and profitability.
This paper describes the importance of applying safety culture into the company business and provide a practical knowledge required to put safety culture characteristics in place. Many organizations have realized that this provides the perfect opportunity for them to streamline their operational process and optimize the associated management and control system.
It is also true to say that people do not really know what a "safety culture" is.
Busy Managers asked ‘what does an identifiable safety culture look like?’
Definition saying that it is the product of people's values and beliefs, their behavior, and their commitment to Health and Safety programs.
Different levels of efforts are concerned with developing strategic plans, converting these into action plans and implementing these so that the organization can fully integrate safety into all of its systems. Then the most important indicator of a positive safety culture is the extent to which employees are actively in safety on daily basis.
So many organizational endeavors, one of the most salient features that affects people's motivation is the total commitment of senior management and line management. This feature in particular has been shown to account for much of the variation in safety performance at many different levels in an organization. Since the development of a proactive safety culture is an empowering process that aims to win people's hearts and minds, it is absolutely vital that senior management actively demonstrate their commitment by providing the necessary leadership., In this multi-Tcf subsea gas development off the North West coast of Australia, reservoir simulation supports the key business decisions and processes. An important factor when providing production forecasts is ensuring that a range of possible outcomes (low-mid-high) are captured accurately by the models. The output from these models may then be used by decision makers for evaluating different developments and scenarios. The design of experiments (DoE) is commonly employed to aid the evaluation of subsurface uncertainties and characterise the impact and influence to key model outcomes supporting development decisions.
Field production performance is often driven by uncertainty in reservoir outcome. This paper is helpful to practitioners involved in any computer modelling of petroleum reservoirs who are interested in capturing the uncertainty inherent in a field and building an appropriate workflow for the development and sensitivity of a range of models. Both model building and using DoE to evaluate developments and Value of Information (VoI) studies for reservoir management will be shared. Integrated DoE focusing on static, dynamic and well-based uncertainties will be illustrated.
Results will cover:
–
Lessons learned and best practices using ED (Experimental Design) to generate low-mid-high reservoir simulation models
–
Understanding reservoir and well based uncertainties separately
–
Evaluating incremental field developments using ED
–
Utilizing ED to anticipate range of surveillance responses
Few papers exist on the integrated application of ED to giant gas fields using reservoir simulation. Firstly, this case study will highlight some pitfalls to avoid during the workflow. Secondly, the authors will discuss the important issue of how to integrate or separate static, dynamic, well and facility based uncertainties. Thirdly, the work will show the unique application of ED in VoI and field development scoping., The latest Silurian to Early Devonian Winduck Interval of the extensive but poorly exposed Neckarboo Sub-basin, consists of several thousands of metres of a quartzose siliciclastic sandstone succession that has been divided into three sequence divisions called (in ascending parasequence order) parasequence A (coarse-grained quartz sandstone), parasequence B (fining-upward succession of sandstone with siltstone and sandstone beds thicken upward) and parasequence C (coarse-grained quartz sandstone with siltstone and interbedded calcareous sandstones). These three geophysically defined parasequences are separated by slightly discordant erosion surfaces. The erosion surfaces are characterised by abrupt breaks at the top of parasequences A and B and the surface at the top of parasequence B represents relatively local erosion. The top of parasequence C is marked by a major unconformity with the Snake Cave Interval. Gamma ray and self-potential signatures within the parasequences can be correlated throughout the Neckarboo Sub-basin. The three sequence divisions are further subdivided into depositional parasequences, which are readily recognised from core sedimentology and electrofacies analysis. The parasequences provide the framework for a detailed sedimentological analysis, which focuses on the identification of lithofacies successions and parasequences. Petrophysical data are recorded and their relationships to the depositional parasequences are discussed. This paper presents a predictive reservoir effectiveness model that has been developed to aid exploration of the Winduck Interval. The aim is to find the distribution of parasequences (based on variations in porosity, net effective thickness and lithofacies with burial depth) and to provide a dataset for lithostratigraphic units within the Winduck Interval and parameter input for exploration prospect evaluation. Parasequence stratigraphic analyses were obtained where there is good lithofacies control. The porosity and permeability results have been analyzed in a number of parasequences and poor reservoir quality may be due to the effects of structure and fluid flow. This approach provides for better and more precise stratigraphic trap analysis.
