Loss Circulation And Formation Damage Control On Overbalanced Drilling With Different Formulations Of Water Based Drill-in Fluids On Sandstone Reservoir
2015Co-Authors: Lopes L.f., Silveira B.o., Moreno R.b.z.l.Abstract:The oil well drilling should not damage formation, mainly the interest region: the reservoir. Drilling without damaging the reservoir is a hard challenge, and therefore the development of technologies and optimization process, including, for example, the design of fluids in order to minimize damage, is been stimulated. Drilling fluids may interact with reservoir rocks resulting on permeability impairment, which reduces well productivity. It has been reported that a detailed fluid management plan can help to minimize formation damage and improve well productivity. This work is focused on formation damage analysis due to drilling fluids invasion in high permeability sandstone oil reservoir. Water-based fluids were prepared with the following components: distilled water, salt (NaI), polymer (Partially Hydrolyzed Polyacrylamide - HPAM, and Xanthan Gum - XG) and clay (Bentonite). Samples were submitted to an invasion process, simulating an overbalanced drilling, and to an oil reverse flow, simulating oil production beginning. Results showed that all fluids containing clay presented less deep invasion than the fluids prepared with polymer only. Moreover, clay concentration influenced on permeability impairment and productivity ratio return results. HPAM fluids, when injected, invaded more deeply the samples than XG fluids, but productivity ratio return was also higher.

Surfactant Flooding Evaluation For Enhanced Oil Recovery In Sandstones Reservoirs
European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers EAGE, 2015Co-Authors: Bonilla F.c., Moreno R.b.z.l.Abstract:This research work considered surfactants for chemical oil recovery applications Surfactant flooding is an EOR technique applied for decreasing capillary effects by molecular performance alterations on water-oil interface between injected water and displaced oil In most situations, this method is implemented as a tertiary flood near of the end of waterflooding but it could be conducted after the initial stage of field production when oil saturations are high m the porous media By an injector well, required volumes are introduced to the reservoir with the defined surfactant formulations for developing a new stabilized oil bank via ultralow mterfacial tension between oil and water phases The experimental methodology included Phase Behavior and Corefloodmg tests for making comparative analyses between oil production responses of different configurations of surfactant flooding method The phase behavior tests were conducted to select the best surfactant formulations through interfacial tensions and solubilization ratios determinations of different concentrations of five commercial surfactants three anionic surfactants (Stepanol, sodium dodecyl sulfate and ammonium dodecyl sulfate) and two no-iomc surfactants (SPAN-20 and TWEN-20) Previously, it was performed surface tensions measurements to identify the critical micellar concentration (CMC), characteristic of each surfactant The selected primary surfactant and co-surfactant formulations were tested for enhanced oil recovery using coreflood tests on high permeability sandstones from Bocatutu Formation In these tests, the primary formulation solutions were followed by polymeric drive solutions injection The tested formulations were also tested for porous media adsorption, evaluating surfactant losses during a surfactant flooding The results are useful for running numerical simulation cases and single well field projects.Salym Petroleum,Shell,TNK.BP,WintershallFlaaten, A.K., Ngyen, Q.P., Pope, G.A., Zhang, J., A systematic laboratory approach to low-costs, high-performance chemical flooding (2009) SPE Reservoir Evaluation & Engineering Journal, 12 (5), pp. 713-723Green, D.W., Willhite, G.P., (1998) Enhanced Oil Recovery, , SPE Publications, RichardsonHealy, R.N., Reed, R.L., Physicochemical aspects of microemulsion flooding (1974) Society of Petroleum Engineers Journal, 14, pp. 491-501Healy, R.N., Reed, R.L., Carpenter, C.W., A laboratory study of microemulsion flooding (1975) Society of Petroleum Engineers Journal, 259, pp. 87-100Holmberg, K., Jonsson, B., Kronberg, B., Lindman, B., (2002) Surfactants and Polymers in Aqueous Solution, , John Wiley and Sons, Ltd., West SussexHuh, C., Interfacial tensions and solubilizing ability of a microemulsion phase that coexists with oil and brine (1979) Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 71, pp. 408-426Iglauer, S., Wu, Y., Shuler, P., Tang, Y., Goddard III, W.A., New surfactant classes for enhanced oil recovery and their tertiary oil recovery potential (2010) Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 71, pp. 23-29Kanan, K., Yousef, H., Kayali, I., Nanostructured microemulsion phase behavior using AOT or extended surfactant combined with a cationic hydrotrope (2012) Journal of Surface Engineered Materials and Advanced Technology, 2, pp. 53-60Kumar, T., Bera, A., Mandai, A., Physicochemical properties of microemulsions and their uses in enhanced oil recovery (2012) World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, 64, pp. 1114-1119Lake, L.W., (1989) Enhanced Oil Recovery, , Prentice Hall, Englewood CliffsOliveira, R.M., The marlim field: Incorporating 4D seismic in reservoir-management decisions (2008) Journal of Petroleum Technology, 60 (4), pp. 5253+107110Samanta, A., Ojha, K., Sarkar, A., Mandai, A., Surfactant and surfactant-polymer flooding for enhanced oil recovery (2011) Advances in Petroleum Exploration and Development Journal, 2 (1), pp. 13-18Santanna, V.C., Curbelo, D.S.F., Castro Dantas, T.N., Dantas Neto, A.A., Albuquerque, H.S., Garnica, A.I.C., Microemulsion flooding for enhanced oil recovery (2009) Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 66, pp. 117-120Schramm, L.L., (2000) Surfactants: Fundamentals and Applications in the Petroleum Industry, , Cambridge University Press, CambridgeSheng, J.J., (2011) Modern Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery.

Understanding Unconventional Gas Reservoir Damages
2015Co-Authors: Lucas G.m.s., Moura E.m., De Andrade A.r., Moreno R.b.z.l.Abstract:It is estimated that there are large reserves of unconventional gas located throughout the world, including coalbed methane, shale gas and tight gas sands. Due to their specific characteristics - particularly low permeability in the microdarcy range, microfractures and high capillary pressures - unconventional gas reservoirs are vulnerable to irreversible damage during exploitation. This paper focuses on studies of damage evaluation in unconventional gas reservoirs around the world. We aim to provide a set of guidelines to avoid, minimize and/or remediate this damage. In Brazil, the Petrobras Strategic Plan for 2020 predicts 200% growth in gas production until 2020, as compared to 2010 gas production. Expected growth in international gas production will be 30% until 2020, as compared to 2010 world gas production. The main natural gas production projects of Petrobras between 2010 and 2014 are Mexilhão, Uruguá and Tambaú Cidade de Santos, totaling 35,000 BOE per day. Demand for natural gas is expected to increase from 46 million m3/day (2009) to 130 million m3/day until 2014, envisaging use in electrical power, industrial, fertilizer and other applications. The fundamental processes causing formation damage include but are not limited to physicochemical, chemical, hydrodynamic, mechanical, thermal and biological. Formation damage is not necessarily reversible, and therefore it should be avoided. Laboratory tests are designed to determine, understand and quantify the governing processes, their dependency on the in-situ and operational conditions, and their effect on formation damage. It should be emphasized that on one hand, high capillary pressure favors the spontaneous imbibition phenomenon and, consequently, mainly water-blocking damage. On the other hand this same effect has been investigated by several researchers to change the reservoir wettability by optimizing rock-fluid interactions using specific surfactant-brine systems during exploitation. It has been concluded that, beyond formation evaluation, phenomenological observations and the optimization of rock-fluid interactions are likely to promote gas production from minimally damaged unconventional reservoirs.

publication lag in biomedical journals varies due to the periodical s Publishing model
Scientometrics, 2006Co-Authors: Peng Dong, Adrian MondryAbstract:Research manuscripts face various time lags from initial submission to final publication in a scientific periodical. Three Publishing models compete for the market. Professional Publishing houses publish in print and/or online in a “reader-pays” model, or follow the open access model of “author-pays”, while a number of periodicals are bound to learned societies. The present study aims to compare the three business models of Publishing, with regards to publication speed. 28 topically similar biomedical journals were compared. Open access journals have a publication lag comparable to journals published by traditional publishers. Manuscript submitted to and accepted in either of these two types of periodicals are available to the reader much faster than manuscripts published in journals with strong ties to specialized learned societies.

the problem is not Professional Publishing but the publish or perish culture
Science and Engineering Ethics, 2019Co-Authors: Gonzalo Genova, Jose Luis De La VaraAbstract:The publication of scientific papers has become increasingly problematic in the last decades. Even if we agree that a renewed model is needed for peer-reviewed scientific publication, we think the problem does not essentially lie in Professional Publishing—with economic incentives—but in the publish-or-perish culture that dominates the lives of researchers and academics.

Samples were submitted to an invasion process, simulating an overbalanced drilling, and to an oil reverse flow, simulating oil production beginning. Results showed that all fluids containing clay presented less deep invasion than the fluids prepared with polymer only. Moreover, clay concentration influenced on permeability impairment and productivity ratio return results. HPAM fluids, when injected, invaded more deeply the samples than XG fluids, but productivity ratio return was also higher.
