After indicating the volumes of water produced during oilfield operations, a strategy is provided for attacking excess water production problems. Problem types are categorized, typical methods of problem diagnosis are mentioned, and the range of solutions is introduced for each problem type. In the third section of the paper, the concept of disproportionate permeability reduction is introduced—where polymers and gels may reduce permeability to water more than to oil or gas. When and where this property is of value is discussed. The fourth section describes the properties of formed gels as they extrude through fractures and how those properties can be of value when treating conformance problems caused by fractures. Section 5 covers the efficiency with which gels block fractures after gel placement—especially, the impact of fluids injected subsequent to the gel treatment.展开更多

Substations which are at the center of the electric power transformation from the power plant are changing to IEC 61850 based digital substations. Therefore, within substation, there is a growing demand for the IEC 61850 based Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs). The operation of multiple manufacturers of IEDs in a single digital substation network increases the need for IEC 61850 communications specification conformance diagnosis to ensure interoperability for efficient data exchange between IEDs. The IEC 61850-10 presents test items for diagnosing communication specification conformance. There are many test tools available in the market today to test the compliance of the IEC 61850 communications specifications to the IED. In this paper, we propose a model-based diagnostic method for IED communication conformance testing. The proposed model-based software therefore uses the “drag and drop” technique to select the various IEC 61850 communication services (objects) required to design the test case in a user friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI). This makes the service conformance testing more flexible for test engineers and system integrators especially in situations that require test case modifications. Also, the proposed software tool makes it easy to understand the various IEC 61850 services using the friendly GUI.展开更多

文摘Carbon capture and storage(CCS)remains one of the most feasible techniques for the control of Greenhouse gas emission levels.However,there will always be risks attached to the subsurface injection of CO_(2).These could be in the form of leakages from the injection wellbore due to completion failure;escape of the injected CO_(2)to neighboring aquifers due to the heterogeneous or fractured nature of the storage site;or seepage at the surface due to inadequacy of the sealing cap rock.While all these may occur,the most cost-effective and timely way to reduce the risk of leakages is by plugging the pathways.This is done using either traditional Cementous materials or more augmented sealants like organic gels and resins.A lot of studies in the literature have described this collection of materials within the context of CO_(2)conformance control.So also,there are reviews on the classification and description of these chemicals.This review provides a more systemic evaluation of these classes of chemicals.This is by providing critical analyses of how external factors like CO_(2),pH,brine salinity and hardness,rock mineralogy,pressure,temperature,and injectivity could affect the performance of different sealants that can be utilized.Based on these assessments,best practices for the application of the sealants,both at the testing stage in the laboratory and the pilot stage and field deployment,are suggested.

文摘Conformance control or water shut-off is a technique used to improve oil recovery.During conformance control,polymers block high permeability water areas and redistribute water drive toward unswept oil zones.In this study,co-polymers(denoted ATP-PGV/AM-co-AMPS)were synthesized using acrylamide(AM)and 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid(AMPS)as the monomers,polyethylene glycol(PEG)-200 and methylenebisacrylamide(MBA)as the crosslinkers,attapulgite(ATP)and bentonite(PGV)as the clay types,and ammonium persulfate(APS)as the initiator,in addition to paraffin oil and surfactants.Samples were synthesized using inverse emulsion polymerization with different concentrations of monomers,crosslinkers,and clays,and they were characterized using Fourier-transform infrared(FTIR)spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy(SEM)with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX).FTIR spectra of the samples confirmed the existence of sulfonate and hydroxyl groups,which are important for polymer swelling.SEM-EDX images indicated that the morphology and elemental composition were different before and after swelling,confirming the occurrence of swelling.Moreover,samples were placed in sodium chloride solution(20,000 ppm)for 7 days to evaluate swelling at both room temperature and 90°C.Thermogravimetric analysis(TGA)and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC)were used to determine the thermal characteristics of the microparticles.Finally,rheological measurements were used to assess the deformation and rheological behavior of the hydrogels.The results showed that after 1 day,good swelling without loss of mechanical strength was achieved with the composite synthesized using 10%AM,15%AMPS,6%PGV,and 10%ATP.

文摘In deep oil reservoir development,enhanced oil recovery(EOR)techniques encounter significant challenges under high-temperature and high-salinity conditions.Traditional profile-control agents often fail to maintain stable blocking under extreme conditions and exhibit poor resistance to high temperature and high salinity.This study develops a functionalized nanographite system(the MEGO system)with superior high-temperature dispersibility and thermosalinity-responsive capability through polyether amine(PEA)grafting and noncovalent interactions with disodium naphthalene sulfonate(DNS)molecules.The grafted PEA and DNS provide steric hindrance and electrostatic repulsion,enhancing thermal and salinity resistance.After ten days of aggregation,the MEGO system forms stable particle aggregates(55.51-61.80 lm)that are suitable for deep reservoir migration and profile control.Both experiments and simulations reveal that particle size variations are synergistically controlled by temperature and salt ions(Na^(+),Ca^(2+),and Mg^(2+)).Compared with monovalent ions,divalent ions promote nanographite aggregation more strongly through double-layer compression and bridging effects.In core displacement experiments,the MEGO system demonstrated superior performance in reservoirs with permeabilities ranging from 21.6 to 103 mD.The aggregates formed within the pore throats significantly enhanced flow resistance,expanded the sweep volume,and increased the overall oil recovery to 56.01%.This research indicates that the MEGO system holds excellent potential for EOR in deep oil reservoirs.
