  • SPE 159645 Successful Application of Venturi Orifice Gas Lift Valve in Kaji-Semoga Field , South Sumatra : A Case Study
    Spe, 2012
    Co-Authors: Nova Arthur Rilian, Adam Fatchur Rohman, Kamal Hamzah, Yoseph Itok Arseto, Candra Kurniawan
    Abstract:

    ContinuousGas Lift system is currently widely used as artificial Lift in Kaji-Semoga Field, infact at about 46% of total producing wells. The average depth of Gas Lift wells in Kaji-Semoga is 3, 200ft, utilizing 2 to 5 conventional Gas Lift Valves in a single production string. Common problems experienced when optimizing Gas Lift wells in Kaji Semoga field are instability of flow due to fluctuation of Gas Lift injection rate and pressure, limited Gas injection volumetric rate, and limited compressor discharge pressure that leads to limited casing head pressure at well head, especially for remote wells with high tubing pressure at injection point. A new injection Valve type, venturiorifice Gas Lift Valve with breaking-out Gas device, has been studied and proposed as a solution to the aforementioned problems. This type of Valve has been installed as Gas Lift injection Valve at some pilot wells by using slick-line unit. The aim of venturi orifice is to reduce pressure difference between casing (upstream) and tubing (downstream) at injection point and to deliver a greater amount of Gas Lift injection at the same casing head pressure (compared to traditional orifice Valve). Meanwhile, the aim of the breaking-out Gas device is to break the injected Gas into very small bubbles and homogenize with the liquid so that flow stability can be achieved. Selected candidates for pilot wells are the ones with high productivity index (PI), highflowing pressure gradient (above 0.18 psi/ft) and limited Gas Lift manifold pressure. Well modeling and simulation have been conducted for these selected wells using production optimization software to predict Gas Lift well performance after installation of new injection Valve, where upon the simulation result is matched with actual data. Applying venturi orifice Gas Lift Valve has produced successful results: the liquid rate of the pilot wells has increased by about 40%, with 30% Gas injection rate increment under the same conditions. Computer simulation also provided similar results to the actual well performance and met expectations. The pay-out time (POT) of this project was less than 2 days.

Introduction Kaji-Semoga field is located in Rimau Block (South Sumatra) and was discovered in 1996. The wells produce mostly from Baturaja Formation (carbonate reservoir). Overall, there are 384 wells in Kaji Semoga field, which consist of 200 oil producer wells, 92 shut-in wells and 92 water injection wells. Approximately 46% of these wells were produced using continuous Gas Lift system. The production operation began in 1997, and oil production peaked at 89,784 BOPD in January 1999. Since then, production has declined due to an increase in water cut. Current oil production is about 14,000 BOPD and the current average water cut is 92%. At the moment the main objective and concern in Kaji Semoga field is to maintain oil production, i.e. to combat oil production decline. Optimization of continuous Gas Lift to increase liquid rate is one of the solutions, and is the focus of this paper.
