Abstract:

Water breakthrough and the flow of water towards the perforations of a producing well increase production operation costs and influence overall recovery efficiency. To control water production, a downhole water sink can be used in which a well is completed in both oil and water zones. Water is produced from an interval in water zone, which can result in the same pressure drop below water oil contact (WOC) as the pressure drop created by oil or gas production. This system can reduce water production through oil zone perforations. Water produced from water zone perforations can then be injected

Abstract:

Water inflow to petroleum wells hampers production of oil or gas leading to early shut downs of the wells without sufficient recovery of hydrocarbons in place. Downhole water sink (DWS) is a completion/production technique for producing water-free hydrocarbons with minimum amount of water from reservoirs with bottom water drive and strong tendency to water coning. DWS eliminates water invasion to hydrocarbon production by employing hydrodynamic mechanism of coning control in situ at the oil-water or gas-water contact. The mechanism is based upon a localized water drainage generated by another

Abstract:

In petroleum industry, oil production strategy to circumvent water coning in reservoirs with strong water drive is quit challenging. To ameliorate this oil production related problem, several water coning prediction models and control approaches have been developed by researchers. The prediction approaches include analytical, empirical and numerical approach. The analytical and empirical prediction approaches are qualitative water coning prediction approach with limited field scale application. However, these approaches model predictions can gain field application if upscale. Numerical approac

Abstract:

Gas and downhole water sink-assisted gravity drainage (GDWS-AGD) is a new process of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in oil reservoirs underlain by large bottom aquifers. The process is capital intensive as it requires the construction of dual-completed wells for oil production and water drainage and additional multiple vertical gas-injection wells. The costs could be substantially reduced by eliminating the gas-injection wells and using triple-completed multi-functional wells. These wells are dubbed triple-completion-GDWS-AGD (TC-GDWS-AGD). In this work, we design and optimize the TC-GDWS-AGD oil

Abstract:

The Gas and Downhole Water Sink–Assisted Gravity Drainage (GDWS-AGD) process addresses gas flooding limitations in reservoirs surrounded by infinite-acting aquifers, particularly water coning. The GDWS-AGD technique reduces water cut in oil production wells, improves gas injectivity, and optimizes oil recovery, especially in reservoirs with high water coning. The GDWS-AGD process installs two 7-inch production casings bilaterally. Then, two 2-3/8-inch horizontal tubings are completed. One tubing produces oil above the oil–water contact (OWC) area, while the other drains water below it. A hydra

Abstract:

Dual-completed wells with Downhole Water Sink (DWS) are used for water coning control in oil reservoirs with bottom water drive. In DWS wells, the second (bottom) completion—placed in the water column—is used for draining water. This prevents the water cone invasion and allows free oil inflow in the top completion. The decision on using DWS or a conventional (single-completed) well is based upon deliverability comparison of the two wells. This paper shows how to describe DWS well deliverability in terms of the top and bottom production rates, water cut, and pressure drawdown. Also, the effect

Abstract:

As obtained geofluids from enhanced geothermal systems usually have lower temperatures and contain chemicals and impurities, a novel power cycle (NPC) with a unit capacity of several hundred kilowatts has been configured and developed in this study, with particular reference to the geofluid temperature (heat source) ranging from 110 °C to 170 °C. Using a suitable CO2-based mixture working fluid, a transcritical power cycle was developed. The novelty of the developed power cycle lies in the fact that an increasing-pressure endothermic process was realized in a few-hundred-meters-long downhole h

The program DST performed on one zone at Falcon Field in the Baturaja Formation producing 429 BOPD and 0.14 MMCFD. Then in 1978, Falcon Field was developed by constructing three wells on the platform GGA and in 1988 made eight more wells on the platform GGB. Falcon Field is thepeak production in 1978 amounted to 5670 BOPD. Currently Falcon Field still in production of 1000 BOPD and 451 MCFPD of four wells.
