Benchmarking is an essential part of measuring success in any business. The current process analyzes top-level indicators characterizing company as a whole, but didn't let targeted identification of the most promising levers. New in-depth technical benchmarking approach is proposed. The developed method is based on the general principles of qualimetry and systems engineering: justification for the choice of metrics that reflect the purpose of the assessment and the features of the process under consideration; selection of initial data and determination of requirements for their accuracy; development of methods for determining the optimal values of quality indicators; unification of conditions for the use of metrics. The deep benchmarking based on the developed algorithms requires a huge amount of data. This is a very labor-intensive exercise for employees, so it was decided to create an IT tool that will automatically pull up the necessary data from corporate databases, process and compare with each other. For this purpose, Gazprom Neft has created the Gradient IT tool. Task of the tool for address searching and assessment the potential is to find a benchmark, assess the potential in each area (metric) and help production units with the search for activities that will allow this potential to be realized. The developed tool will consist of modules in accordance with the stages of deep technical benchmarking by processes and cost items by assets and industry, including: Assessment of potential, Modeling/ Goal-setting, Monitoring, Factor analysis. And the additional helpful modules: Asset analysis, Dynamics of a metrics. As a result of the Gradient project, it is expected: a) improving the quality of the formation of hypotheses about potential due to a targeted search for levers of its implementation; b) creating of a unified cost decomposition methodology and metrics database for the entire company with the ability to anonymously data view for all assets; c) the possibility of regular internal analyzing at all levels of management and potential searching; d) improved quality ànd speed of decision making through advanced analytics and modeling.

A.V. Polishchuk (Gazprom Neft Companó Group, RF, Saint Petersburg), A.A. Deshin (Gazprom Neft Companó Group, RF, Saint Petersburg), I.V. Kovalenko (Gazprom Neft Companó Group, RF, Saint Petersburg) The review of methodological approaches to thermal history prediction for petroleum system modelling DOI: 10.24887/0028-2448-2023-12-12-16 Thermal history reconstruction of a sedimentary basin is one of the key stages of petroleum system modeling. Heat transfer is dependent on sedimentary basin formation mechanism, heat physical properties (function of multiple factors that contribute to the rock section) and sedimentation rate. The analysis of the issue made it possible to systemize and generalize methodic approaches to predicting the density of heat flow and its components. The process of heat transfer in the Earth crust is a complicated physical phenomenon the description of which, let alone its modeling, implies certain assumptions. Heat flow is measured on the daylight surface or at shallow depth. At the same time, the power of the source (mantle heat flow and radiogenic heat) changes through time. Heat resistance of the crust also changes through time in a complicated way: temperature transformations of rocks occur. The rate of such transformations depends on mechanochemical activation, the Rehbinder’s effect, and other factors. The article shows the necessity of predicting the heat flow density in the context of a conceptual geologic model of the region evolution. Examples from the West Siberian and South American basins (Jurua Sub-basin, Solimoes Basin) show methodological techniques for predicting the heat flow density with account of the stages of tectonic processes and petroleum system evolvement. Iterative approach was used for predicting the heat flow density with account of catagenetic transformation maps of the basement, Middle Jurassic, top of Jurassic deposits in the Gydan Peninsula, the east of Yamal, the west of Yenisei-Khatanga Trough, and the adjacent offshore area. A distinctive feature of Jurua Sub-basin (Brazil) is the presence of intrusive bodies in the section of the sedimentary cover. The trend analysis method was applied when predicting the thermal history. Regional and local components were considered. The regional component is associated with changes in the Earth crust thickness, composition of the basement, and stages of tectonic history. The local component was predicted taking into account the magnetic field anomaly map.

Oreshkova (Gazprom Neft Companó Group, RF, Saint Petersburg) Application of neural networks to identify paleochannels and generate their conceptual models DOI: 10.24887/0028-2448-2023-12-17-19 Currently, there is an active interest in the introduction of neural networks (NN) in seismic data interpretation (for automatic correlation of horizons and faults, for forecasting reservoir properties, and for highlighting geological objects etc.). Highlighting geological objects is particularly interesting from the point of view of object-oriented interpretation. Standard interpretative approaches are largely subjective and require considerable time. Using of NN for outlining an object makes it possible to give interpretation process greater objectivity and prepare object for subsequent morphometric analysis. The article discusses use of NN to identify paleochannels in process of interpreting seismic data and generating images of their conceptual geological models. Paleocannels are the best object for testing new approaches, since it is possible to project our knowledge about the features of modern river sedimentogenesis, morphology of rivers, patterns of their development in time and space on events captured in geological history, referring to method of "actualism" by Charles Lyell. The article analyzes two methodological approaches. The first one is to apply computer vision algorithms and a Holistically Nested Edge Detection algorithm based on a deep learning model using a convolutional NN. These algorithms have been tested on the example of color images of results of spectral decomposition and images obtained using eXchroma technology, on which paleochannels were identified during interpretation. The second approach is to use NN to generate an image based on a text description. Such popular networks as Midjourney, Problembo, Kandinsky have been tested. This approach will allow to generate images when searching for analogues of developed sedimentation models. The development of NN methods for selecting channels and generating images of possible sedimentation analogues seems to be an extremely promising direction.

These deposits are composed by deep-water fans of lower Neokomian clinoform complex. Srednemessoyakhsky Swell had a huge impact to lateral paleo-transport directions of sediments. It was a kind of barrier helped to generate a sediment wedge that has affected on sediment flow direction. BU212 and BU213-1 deposits differ from analogue Achimov formation in neighbor oilfields by relatively high properties: average value of porosity coefficient varies from 16.5 to 19.5 %, while permeability may reach from 3.6·10-3 up to 46·10-3 μm2. Comparison of well lithology interpretation with simultaneous inversion results has showed that P-wave impedance cube matches well data best of other calculated elastic parameters. Therefore, this cube is used in geological model for net volume cube calculation. Due to seismic data resolution, calculated acoustic impedance shows only the tendency of reservoir distribution. There is a risk to estimate net volume incorrectly in the case of layer thinning and interference with underlying bed. For instance, section of one of the wells, drilled in proximal part of fan and channel, testifies that impedance matches well log interpretation data: you can clearly determine the borders of distributary channel and fan on seismic section. At the same time another well, drilled in distal part of the fan, has revealed the section with significantly higher compartmentalization and lower NTG, despite the fact that seismic data in this zone are characterized by the same values of acoustic impedance as in the proximal zone. In this case, optimal drilling strategy and well construction were chosen owing to sedimentary process understanding. Regarding formation are characterized by anomalous high pressure, therefore elastic parameters behavior in overpressured reservoir conditions should be taken into account. In this state acoustic impedance decreases within argillaceous rocks as well as in the reservoir. This feature makes geological interpretation of inversion results more complicated and ambiguous. According to analysis of Achimov formation at Vostochno-Messoyakhskoe field such a dramatic decrease of impedance down to reservoir values might be caused by decompaction in conjunction with gas presence in clay pores. To avoid misinterpretation of argillaceous formation as reservoir units, complex geological and geophysical analysis should be conducted including petro-elastic modelling and precise seismic and geological model with potential reservoir area determination.

The aim of the study was to estimate reservoir properties, reservoir pressure, productivity, as well as to analyze pattern efficiency on pilot project of Achimov deposits. The initial data of well test, daily production rates of liquid and oil, bottom-hole pressure were used. In addition, the authors used well log interpretation results and PVT-properties. The article presents an assessment of reservoir and near wellbore parameters, such as permeability, skin-factor, fracture half-length, radius of drainage and reservoir pressure. These parameters were interpreted according to three scenarios: minimum (min case), basic (base case), and maximum (max case). Radius of drainage helped to perform interference analysis. The article describes an approach to analytical estimation of water injection system efficiency based on well test models qualitatively and quantitative. Fluid dynamics parameters from well test help history match and generation of dynamic models. Interference analysis of production and injection wells allow to design/optimize oil-field exploitation system, prove wells spacing and the distances between them. At the same time, a quantitative assessment of water injection system increases accuracy of cost estimates.

Standard software used for the well testing simulation does not have the functionality to model filtration processes with hydraulic fractures of varying geometry and conductivity. The coupled hydrogeomechanical model accounting the waterflooding fractures is used in this work for the interpretation of field experiment data. The well test is simulated in two selected areas of oil fields with wells oriented along maximum region stress. In the first case, one vertical injection well surrounded by production wells is considered. In the second one, the sector of the field development system is treated. The sector includes two horizontal injection wells with multi-stage hydrofracturing and production wells located nearby. It is shown that in the both cases the model pressure curves are in an acceptable agreement with the field data. The comparison of the field data with the results of the standard well test modeling shows that the discrepancy occurs when the fracture length changes. In the case of the sector of field development system, the model is able to simulate the performance of two injection wells simultaneously. Numerical calculations expose the possibility of main fracture growth between two injection wells. During the pressure falloff test, the fractures close quickly due to the large leaks into the formation. When the injection is resumed, the waterflooding fractures grow rapidly and merge into the main fracture. The fracture propagation rate is used to improve the multiphase hydrodynamic model. The hydrodynamic simulations demonstrate the possible positive impact of the waterflooding fracturing on the economic performance of the development system by reducing the number of injection wells.

The cost of error in the PVT model is very high and at facilities with different types of oil, the planned NPV for the year may not reach the economic limit of 0.5-2.9%. Therefore, it is important to reproduce the properties of hydrocarbon mixtures reliably already at the early stages of field development. The use of high-quality PVT models early in field development will also reduce the cost of additional fluid testing and analysis, as the models can provide sufficiently accurate data for decision making. A characteristic feature of new assets is the lack of laboratory fluid results required for PVT modelling. In such cases, the value from such oil and gas projects carries a high degree of uncertainty, and the process of making important strategic decisions takes a long time. To solve this problem it is proposed to implement a completely new approach in the selection of PVT model analogues and operational creation of PVT model of Black Oil using machine learning algorithms, as well as the creation of a unified database of created PVT metamodels. This approach will allow the engineer to solve the problem with PVT section in the reservoir simulation model in an operative mode and at the same time retain a high degree of its predictive ability.

Their duration is not enough to measure a build-up curve long enough and its subsequent full interpretation. A regression analysis method was used in order to identify the most accurately predictive behavior of the pressure buildup curve during a real well test based on various models tested on real well operating data. A C# programming language script was written to optimize the calculation of regression coefficients. Testing and application of the methodology was carried out at the wells of the field named after A. Zhagrin of Gazpromneft-Khantos LLC. A new approach has been obtained for predicting pressure build-up and estimating reservoir pressure, which allows increasing the coverage of wells by testing without conducting additional long-term well testing and, accordingly, losses in production. The proposed approach does not exclude long-term stops of wells to pressure build-up, but allows to understand the energy state of the reservoir in operational activities, as a result, to improve the quality of the decisions made in the process of field development. The results of the algorithm allow us to conclude the effectiveness of the proposed solution and show the importance of these technological stops in understanding the dynamics of reservoir pressure. The advantages of the developed approach are the possibility of implementation in Digital Oil Field monitoring tools, ease of program realization and integration into existing software tools. The accuracy of prediction depends on the quality of input data describing the properties of the reservoir or regions with similar field conditions.

In this work, the effectiveness of three reagents for surfactant-polymer (SP) flooding were assessed. The assessment was carried out in two stages. The first one is laboratory research. At this stage the oil-displacing solution is selected in accordance with the geo-physical parameters of the field such as flow properties, reservoir fluids, reservoir temperature. Complex laboratory studies include special core analysis and filtration tests. During the laboratory stage design with the best performance was identified. The second stage is the flow simulation stage. During this stage the filtration tests were simulated in the model with following rescaling and evaluation of the effect on a full-scale 3D flow model. For flow modeling of chemical EOR, a number of necessary laboratory data and parameters are proposed, which are the following: dependence of interfacial tension in oil-water system on surfactant concentration, isotherm of dynamic adsorption for surfactants, residual oil saturation decrement, displacement coefficient increment, residual resistance factor. Linear dimensions of core samples, filtration-capacitance properties, and relative phase permeability endpoints were used as additional parameters during the model adaptation. 3D model estimated the increase in oil recovery factor as 19% when SP flooding implemented after waterflooding. The most performing SP composition is recommended for single well chemical tracer test and for pilot testing.

The high efficiency of the hydraulic fracturing fluid, as observed in actual field operations on these reserves, contributes to the development of fractures in the vertical plane. Proppant is distributed along this plane, and the anchored width tends to form a "monolayer" throughout the fracture volume. Considering that there are studies in the global experience on the proppant failure dependency on the layers number in the pack, as well as previously obtained theoretical dependencies by the authors, it can be assumed that fractures with proppant width close to a "monolayer" will not lead to achieving economically viable well productivity under the the research object geomechanical conditions. The proppant will break, the broken particles will be pressed into the rock formation, and the fractures will "collapse." To confirm the theoretical research and industry experience presented earlier, our own modified laboratory program studies has been conducted. This program allows addressing the deficiencies of the standard method for investigating proppant crush resistance to reproduce the actual width of the hydraulic fracture. The study involves a series of tests on the crushing of proppant with variable height in a cell for crush testing. The results confirm that the critical onset of crushability is at three layers of proppant. Proppant with smaller dimensions better resists crushing. The use of high-strength proppants in the shell is advisable for the application in Achimov tight-oil reserves. Qualitative photo control of crushed particles confirms that only a limited amount of proppant is subjected to external load regardless of changes. Login or register before ordering |

First of all, this applies to the construction of horizontal and multi-barrel wells, to downhole completion systems, including methods of multistage hydraulic fracturing. To control the development of deposits and monitor the operation of such reservoir, it also required the development and implementation of new well monitoring systems. Currently, many domestic oil and gas companies use variations of stationary information and measurement systems for long-term permanent study of the phase profiles of inflow and pick-up. Among these technological solutions, the most common in Russia are: a) distributed monitoring systems based on submersible fiber optic cable sensors (with registration of thermal DTS, and sometimes optionally also acoustic DAS characteristics of the inflow), and b) point-distributed marker monitoring systems (mainly using cameras-cassettes with a marker substance in the intervals of fluid inflow from isolated stages of horizontal wells or using a marker coating injected with proppant). Both of these methods are quite competitive at first glance: both in terms of mobility and the cost of their use. However, the cornerstone point in their application is how much information on the distributed profiles of component–by-component tributaries can be trusted. Usually, in order to answer this question, oil and gas companies are forced to supplement stationary monitoring with one-time measurements of the traditional complex of methods of production logging tools (PLT). To solve this problem Gazprom Neft PJSC conducted unique comparative "blind" tests on a ground-based multiphase hydraulic stand for commercial marker monitoring systems. The main results of the tests performed are presented in the article.

However, wells for permanent fiber optic monitoring were previously either naturally flowing oil and gas wells, or injection wells. It is obvious that distributed monitoring technology is of the greatest interest for wells with the electrical submersible pumps (ESP), but there have always been issues with the RIH operation of fiber-optic cable sensors to the toe of the horizontal well beyond the ESP. Having passed the path from the pilot jobs to a couple of dozens of DTS installations in horizontal wells in recent years, Gazprom Neft have mastered this innovative technology for the first time in Russia, in modifications with both DTS and DAS. Distributed fiber optic based permanent monitoring of multi-stage hydraulically fractured horizontal wells with the ESP has now been successfully implemented at the Yuzhno-Priobskoye oil field. In 2022 and 2023, the Company equipped two operational pumping wells with a fiber-optic monitoring system, and the duration of monitoring for one of them exceeded one year. Also, engineers radically improved the technology of interpretation and analysis of the received data, which made it possible to abandon the services of a third-party service and significantly reduce the cost of technological processes. Currently, the DTS of long-term permanent monitoring is prepared for a massive implementation at other Gazprom Neft business units, and the obtained information is recognized as in demand for optimizing the development system of low-permeable reservoirs. Below, the authors present some results illustrating the uniqueness and at the same time the universality of the information support of DTS monitoring in order to substantiate workovers on the production wells with multistage horizontal completion.

One of the methods for preventing the sand production is the treatment of borehole rocks with chemical reagents. However, the methods of calculating the volume of injection of the reagent into the bottom-hole zone of the formation used by technology suppliers are part of commercial information and do not allow comparing the effectiveness of different formulations. In this regard, a method was developed for calculating the volume of injection of chemical reagents. This methodology is based on a mathematical model of reservoir operation using the results of physico-chemical properties of the reagent, filtration and geomechanical studies of cores before and after exposure to the reagent. Calculations according to the proposed model require data obtained from lab experiments. During lab experiments it is required to measure physical and chemical characteristics of consolidation liquid, evaluate porosity and permeability of the core, as well as the strength characteristics, before and after treatment of the core with the consolidation liquid. Later, acquired data is used as an input in the developed mathematical model. The model can be used to evaluate the amount of sand produced depending on the volume of the consolidation liquid. By varying the volume of the consolidation liquid in the model, the optimal volume of the liquid can be estimated. The optimal volume should be chosen depending on the two factors: the increase of the volume of consolidation liquid causes decrease in fluid production, as well as in sand production. Is some cases it is possible to achieve a significant decrease in sand production, while a very small decrease in fluid production is observed.

It has been shown that the anion composition of lithium-containing reservoir water is determined by chloride ions, the cation composition by sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium ions. At the same time, the content of magnesium and calcium, which can lead to problems with the selectivity of lithium release and salt deposition, in contrast to salar brines, can reach quite high values. Promising provinces for extracting lithium from reservoir water of oil and gas fields in the Russian Federation are Central Siberian and South Ural. At the same time, lithium-bearing brines from deposits in the Central Siberian province have an extremely difficult composition for lithium extraction (high concentrations of magnesium and total mineralization), which results in the need to combine several methods for lithium extraction and, probably, refinement of existing technical solutions. Currently, sorption and extraction methods for extracting lithium from hydromineral raw materials have been developed in the Russian Federation. The selectivity of the process of lithium isolation by sorption methods is due to the steric effect; the interaction occurs through the intercalation mechanism. In this regard, one can expect the sensitivity of this method to the content of magnesium in the raw material, which has a similar ionic radius to lithium. In extraction methods, the selectivity of lithium separation is determined to a greater extent by the charge characteristics and chemical nature of the ion, rather than by its size. As a result, these methods are less sensitive to alkaline earth metal content.

Sakharov (Gazprom Neft Companó Group, RF, Saint Petersburg), A.E. Belousov (Industrial Digital Platform LLC, RF, Saint Petersburg), A.G. Horuzhenko (Prostoev.NET LLC, RF, Moscow) Determination and prediction of the technical condition and residual life of static equipment using hybrid modeling DOI: 10.24887/0028-2448-2023-12-74-78 The maintenance of static equipment is conditional on accuracy, sufficiency and up-to-dateness of information which is used to make qualitative conclusions about the technical condition and residual life of a production unit. The effectiveness of maintenance measures, on the one hand, depends on regulatory requirements, and on the other hand, on the human factor. Significant costs are normally expected. The installation of advanced telemetry systems for static equipment units of relatively low cost and criticality is often not economically reasonable. Moreover, some pieces of acquired information are not applied advantageously. The article presents a solution to effective data acquisition via hybrid modelling to collect additional information on technical condition and residual life. This method is illustrated on 50 units of field tanks storing oil and produced water. The proposed approach fully complies with the regulatory documentation of the Russian Federation and involves the joint use of three main models: 1) stress-strain state, 2) defect growth accounting, and 3) defect prediction model. The approach is universal; its application is possible for various types of static equipment. The article presents, firstly, particularities of raw data processing modelling; secondly, training of cross-functional neural network stress-strain state models; thirdly, formation of a defect prediction model based on general recommended practice; and lastly, development of a machine learning model for defect prediction. There are also results of verification process of a model which was applied on tanks that have been in operation since 1980s. Considering the complexity of this model, verification was carried out separately for each individual type of the hybrid model. Validation of the model and feedback from operating organizations confirmed the prospect of using the developed hybrid model as part of a recommendation system for more thorough control of the weakest units; more accurate assessment of the technical condition and residual life of a unit (taking into account probable defects); assessing the risks of negative developments and planning budgets for various types of diagnostics and maintenance.

Efimov (Tymen Branch of SurgutNIPIneft, Surgutneftegas PJSC, RF, Tyumen) Influence of material composition on nuclear-physical characteristics of volcanogenic rocks DOI: 10.24887/0028-2448-2023-12-84-88 The article considers the peculiarities of the material (chemical and mineral composition) and their influence on the nuclear-physical characteristics (effective atomic number, atomic mass, photoelectric absorption index and macroscopic capture section of thermal neutrons) of the solid phase of rocks on the example of the volcanogenic-sedimentary sequence of the northeastern framing of the Krasnoleninsky arch in East Siberian region. The nuclear physical characteristics of the rocks of the studied object vary over a wide range. As the effective atomic number and atomic mass increase, the photoelectric absorption index and macroscopic capture section of thermal neutrons increase. The authors revealed positive correlations of the photoelectric absorption index and the macroscopic section of thermal neutron capture of the solid phase of rocks with the content of iron, magnesium, potassium, titanium oxides, as well as with the content of minerals – potassium feldspars, chlorite, and siderite. Negative correlations were revealed with the content of silicon, sodium oxides, also with the content of minerals – quartz and albite. It has been shown that the effective atomic number increases from acidic volcanites to medium, basic, ultramafic differences. Transformed by secondary processes volcanites are characterized by increased values of nuclear-physical characteristics, due to higher concentration of clay, carbonate minerals and secondary potassium feldspar. The need to take into account the influence of the material composition of the solid phase of rocks when interpreting neutron logging by thermal logs is shown. The prospects of using pulsed neutron and litho-density logs in the sections of volcanogenic deposits are shown in order to find intervals promising for testing.

Nassonova (Tyumen Petroleum Research Center LLC, RF, Tyumen) Hydrocarbon separation zones in terrigenous reservoirs DOI: 10.24887/0028-2448-2023-12-90-93 The analysis was undertaken to unravel possible reasons of reservoirs separation in hydrocarbon accumulations. Separation zones are practically not recognized by direct evidence such as well correlation, or seismic data. Possible locations of such separation zones can be inferred only from the presence of a combination of indirect indicators including: multi-facies zones, contact of sedimentary bodies from different depositional source areas, zones of reduced net thickness or NTG, increased compartmentalization, continuity, lack of communication between injecting and producing wells, contradictory well test results, different hydrocarbon contacts. The paper considers main reasons of forming the zones of separated reservoirs, which can be associated with a junction of areas formed by different depositional centers, or with reduced NTG of sedimentary sequences separating major sand depositional features, with boundaries of facies where pore space structure may change, with capillary barriers. Separation of reservoirs in the same formation zone can also be confirmed by a different reservoir temperature (when excluding reservoir production effects), presence of faults including “rootless” faults such as, for instance, a clastic elongated dike filled with clastic material. Besides, influence can be exerted by geochemical processes, as well as by lithology change and porosity reduction at facies boundaries, or by interfacing with thin shale barriers. As a result of the analysis, the authors identified main reasons of reservoirs separation in hydrocarbon accumulations

The rocks are characterized by a significant degree of dolomitization, sulfation and silicification. The void space is expressed by pores, micropores, caverns, and cracks of subordinate significance. The complex structure and geological heterogeneity make it difficult to assess the value of porosity and saturation. In order to increase the reliability of quantitative interpretation of neutron logging in sediments of a complex reservoir, additional core studies were required. The main goal of the additional research program was to assess the neutron-absorbing properties of the mineral components of the rock. Mineral component model taking into account anomalous microelements will allow to set up neutron methods for studying wells and estimate the magnitude of the error in determining the current saturation coefficient. To obtain additional information on the properties of the Kashirskian-Podolskian deposits, studies of the elemental composition of rocks were carried out using the X-ray fluorescence, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, thermogravimetric method and pyrolysis. As a result of complex processing of the data array obtained by various methods of core research, mineral-component models were built to calculate the lifetime values and macroscopic absorption cross section of thermal neutrons. The resulting lithotype models and neutron constants will improve the accuracy of oil saturation assessment based on pulsed neutron methods. Square deviation of the random error of the result of an indirect measurement inaccuracy in the definition of “mineralogy” can lead to an error in saturation determination of up to 14%. The lower is the porosity coefficient, the higher is the error in calculating the saturation coefficient. For limestone the oil saturation will be overestimated, for dolomite rock it will be underestimated. When assessing the nature of saturation, one should not use a single boundary value of the neutron lifetime or capture cross section for all lithotypes, but a relationship between the neutron lifetime and the porosity and salinity of formation water adjusted on one’s own core.

A multivariate analysis of the geochemical characteristics of the DOM was carried out in the context of the hydrocarbon plays within the tectonic units of the platform and the Pre-Ural fore deep. Correlation interactions between the geochemical and bituminological characteristics of the DOM have been studied for each stratum. Using the scientific hypothesis of N.B. Vassoevich on the relationship between the bituminoid coefficient and the organic carbon content, the authors, using statistical analysis methods, for the first time, the division of the DOM into three main types – idiogenous, epigenetic and mixed has been justified at the quantitative level. The constructed linear regressive models and discriminant functions made it possible to justify the distribution of the DOM types in all sedimentary complexes of the Perm region. The patterns of distribution of the selected types of the DOM according to the to the difference in bituminological composition for all tectonic units of the Perm region are investigated. The lines have been established between the types of the DOM for all tectonic elements. The line between the idiogenous type of the DOM and the mixed type by bituminoid coefficient value is in the range of 15-18%, and between the mixed and epigenetic in the range of 28-32%. For the territories of the Bashkir arch and the Solikamsk sag, the values of TOC for mixed and epigenetic types of the DOM are less than 8%, and the main part of the idiogenous DOM is characterized by a concentration of TOC not exceeding 10%. The values of TOC concentrations for mixed and epigenetic DOM types in the context of the territory of the Yazva-Chusovaya structural zone do not exceed 2%. The main part of the idiogenous DOM is characterized by a concentration of TOC not exceeding 6%. The various processes of differentiation of the dispersed organic matter of the rocks of the main hydrocarbon plays for the territory of the platform and the fore deep are statistically substantiated. Based on the obtained percentage of types, a scheme of quantitative distribution of migrationally capable epigenetic bitumoids within the tectonic elements of the Perm region is drawn.

This makes it possible to take into account frozen soil features when designing and ensuring the safety of structures. This article discusses the mobile laboratory (ML) as a technological tool for the study of frozen soil in various climatic zones. Frozen soil is environmental complex with the constant presence of unfrozen water; its study is becoming more relevant due to climate change. The operation of the ML includes carrying out scientific work, solving engineering tasks and improving the quality of initial data for design. ML provides the opportunity to work in various geographical conditions and fast replacement over long distances by railway, road and water transport. ML can be easily transported to research sites: remote, rural or urban areas. It allows conducting research nearby of place of engineering survey. Based on the results of ML operation, authors concluded that the simultaneous presence of 3-5 employees in the laboratory complex makes it possible to distribute the labor resource potential in the most efficient way.

WELL DRILLING |
I.A. Pakhlyan (Kuban State Technological University, RF, Armavir) Effectiveness of the use of cavitation phenomena for dispersion and homogenization of components of drilling and grouting solutions DOI: 10.24887/0028-2448-2023-12-109-111 Mixing of liquid and powdery components of process fluids with the help of hydro-ejector devices and mechanical agitators does not always lead to a sufficiently rapid interaction of the components. It may take an unacceptably long time for the process fluid to reach stable parameters. In this regard, an important stage in the preparation of drilling fluids, grouting systems, silencing fluids and other process fluids used in drilling, repair and operation of wells is the dispersion and homogenization of their components, aimed at accelerating the interaction of phases. The high efficiency of existing dispersants and homogenizers in commercial practice is currently associated with high speeds. The higher the flow rates of liquids, the lower the operational reliability of the devices. For this reason, dispersants are rarely used in fishing practice. This leads to the fact that process fluids are either pumping into the well without being fully ready for operation, or useful working time is lost to bring the liquids parameters to the required values by prolonged mixing with mechanical agitators and by pumping recirculation. The purpose of such treatment is to obtain sedimentation-stable suspensions and emulsions with stable rheological parameters. A promising direction in this area is the use of cavitation technologies. At the heart of the design of all jet hydrodynamic cavitation shredders of suspended particles is a cavitation generator. The author's design was developed and the generated cavitation flows in the flow part were described. The greater the coefficient of local hydraulic resistance of the cavitation generator, the lower the speed required to obtain cavitation in the compressed section of the flow. At a given throughput and pressure, it is possible to find the area of the narrowed part of the local resistance that provides the beginning of cavitation. The developed design of the cavitation generator can be used with both low-pressure centrifugal pumps and high-pressure plunger pumps. When selecting parameters, it is necessary to ensure the flow velocity of 14 m/s in the flow section of the local hydraulic resistance. Acknowledgement.

Arzhilovskiy (Tyumen Petroleum Research Center LLC, RF, Tyumen) The concept of multilevel modeling as the basis of a decision-making support system for the development of mature oil fields DOI: 10.24887/0028-2448-2023-12-112-117 The article discusses a new concept of multilevel mathematical modeling as the basis of a decision support system for the development of oil deposits at a late stage. The motivation for creating a new concept is the enormous uncertainty of the modeling object – oil reservoir. The article considers various reasons for such uncertainty, in particular, the ambiguity of the rescaling procedure and numerical effects in solving the equations of multiphase filtration in the reservoir. The proposed concept of multilevel modeling consists of a stage of multiscale modeling (modeling of nested objects of different scales: core fragment – core – borehole neighborhood - formation) and a stage of hierarchical modeling (reservoir modeling using models of varying complexity). In this case, the principle of optimal complexity models is used. The scheme of multilevel modeling is substantiated, the implementation of which should allow to level the problem of colossal uncertainty and make operational decisions on the development of deposits. Such a scheme assumes the construction of a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model (as the vertices of the hierarchy of models) based on the finite element method, excluding its total dependence on the geological model, numerical effects and the problem of rescaling. The proposed concept is used in the developed architecture of the decision-making system, in relation to which five requirements are formulated: 1) taking into account the peculiarities of the approach to mathematical modeling; 2) the ability of the decision-maker to access his level of the spatial and temporal hierarchy of managerial decisions; 3) the possibility of using a variety of approaches to working with information (in particular, the case-based approach); 4) consideration of the surface development of the field; 5) consideration of the iterative business planning process based on the economic model. It is noted that it is advisable to use an ontological knowledge base to create an integrated model.

Horizontal wells with multi-stage fracturing are seemed to be the only way for economically viable oil production. Few issues complicate the field development. The first issue is geological. Water-saturated layer Ach32 is located close to the oil-bearing reservoir occurs in the immediate vicinity of the oil-bearing reservoir Ach33. Thickness of the shale between layers varies from 6 to 12 m. Taking into account the total thickness of the oil-bearing formation of about 50 m, this imposes serious requirements for controlling the height of hydraulic fractures. According to estimations, breakthrough of hydraulic fractures into the aquifer leads to high initial water cut (up to 60-80%) of new wells. The second issue is economical, which consists of high capital expenditures that should be done on initial stage of the field development (pipeline and facilities construction) and high uncertainty of the production forecast due to low permeable and complicated reservoir characteristics. Optimization of hydraulic fracturing technology is the key to solving problems in both cases. The Achimov reservoir is referred to as a tight formation and is currently at the evaluation stage. Despite that, all hydraulic fracturing operations were technologically successful. In addition, this project was supported by an extensive investigation program for studying of geomechanical properties of the reservoir. This study includes core testing, construction of the geomechanical models and multiple calculations to optimize fracture parameters. Activities in the Achimov formation were complemented by specialized well logging methods like imagers and dipole acoustic and microseismic survey. This allows to orient the azimuth of horizontal sections of the wells and to calibrate the geomechanical model to the actual height of hydraulic fractures. Login or register before ordering |

The current assumptions about the sources of water supply for wells of the Bazhenov formation are considered, including the influence of fracture fluids, fracture invasion in upstream and downstream development facilities intervals, filtration of self reservoir water. Cases of leakage of the column are excluded due to the exclusively technical nature. Data of the testing Bazhenov formation wells before and after the active introduction of hydraulic fracturing are presented. Conclusions are drawn regarding the distribution of the water content of well tests; the intervals of the most common water cut values are highlighted. Examples of water cut in wells with a long production period, where the volume of extracted water exceeded the volume of injected fracture fluid, are shown. The nature of the distribution of bound water in the rocks of the Bazhenov formation is described. The estimation of the water saturation by core studies and nuclear magnetic logging (NMR) represented. The probability of fracturing of nearby productive objects with fractures is considered from the point of view of geology, geomechanical models and typical injection plans. The process of analyzing the NMR data in the process of creating a scale model, which led to the allocation of low-porous intervals in the Under-Achimov clays above the Bazhenov formation, is presented. A hypothesis has been formulated that combines the analysis of existing ideas about the source of water cut and the results of the allocation of low-porous intervals in the Podachimov clays. To confirm the results, a program of field tests of wells has been formed, including testing of intervals of Under-Achimov clays and laboratory studies of surface samples of liquids from various objects. Already implemented tests have shown the water saturation of the intervals of the Under-Achimov clays, as well as high values of reservoir pressures that allow wells to operate in the gushing mode, which currently confirms the formulated hypothesis.

The article deals with the actual problem associated with the long terms of design, construction and commissioning of capital construction facilities. The problem of the Company and its subsidiaries is explained by the lack of design documentation for the equipment used in the project at the time of the beginning of the development of the working documentation. This may lead to adjustments to the working and project documentation, as well as significant time and financial costs. The article describes the main provisions of the methodology of "platform solutions" aimed at identifying suppliers of equipment and materials at the pre-project stage and timely provision of initial data (design documentation) to the designer for the development of design and working documentation. The methodology describes changes in the process of developing design estimates, aimed primarily at improving the efficiency of designing standard facilities for the development of oil and gas fields, as well as reducing the variability of the nomenclature of equipment and materials used. The approach is based on the principles of exemplary design, including the development of standard projects, platform solutions and the use of information modeling. The approach does not contradict the Company's regulations, does not restrict competition in the market of domestic equipment manufacturers and fully complies with the legislation of the Russian Federation. The main advantages of implementing the proposed methodology of "platform solutions" are listed. Information is provided on the use of design efficiency improvement tools (standard projects, platform solutions) at the early stages of design work in the Rosneft Oil Company.

G.A. Makeev (RN-BashNIPIneft LLC, RF, Ufa), A.F. Fattakhova (RN-BashNIPIneft LLC, RF, Ufa) Analysis of proppant friction pressure loss on typical hydraulic fracturing data DOI: 10.24887/0028-2448-2023-12-139-142 Correct assessment of the proppant-fluid slurry hydraulic friction in the tubing is important to prevent premature shutdown of the hydraulic fracturing operation. Injection modeling in a hydraulic fracturing simulator always includes calculation of the friction of the fluid mixture with proppant in the tubing to calculate wellhead pressure. The effect of proppant on friction is calculated either using the Keck model or using the tabulated dependence of the friction multiplier on the proppant concentration. This tabulated function is part of the design input data and should be validated against field data. This paper presents a technique that allows one to restore this dependence without additional experiments using actual hydraulic fracturing data. The proposed method for restoring the proppant friction modifier needs actual data on flow rate, bottomhole and wellhead pressures and proppant concentration. It is assumed that friction maps of pure liquids are already up to date. The article discusses three ways of representing the friction modifier: linear, quadratic and piecewise linear function of concentration. The paper presents the formulation of the inverse problem of restoring the parameters of the selected dependence. Examples of testing the methodology are given. Some of the frac jobs analyzed are shown where a linear dependence has been successfully restored. Others require a quadratic dependence, and some others require the most complex, piecewise linear dependence. Approbation at 10 and 8 frac stages in two horizontal wells is presented. Approbation of the method shows that the dependence of hydraulic friction on proppant varies from well to well, but the method allows one to obtain reproducible results for successive stages of multi-stage hydraulic fracturing and neighboring wells and to refine the correction for proppant used as input data for design calculations in RN-GRID fracturing simulation software. The new technique allows one to restore the dependence of hydraulic proppant friction modifier and gives engineers a tool to maintain the relevance of friction correlations for the proppants used in the RN-GRID hydraulic fracturing simulator without additional lab research.

Polenkov (Novomet-Perm JSC, RF, Perm) Calculation of pressure and power characteristics on water of a tapered pump DOI: 10.24887/0028-2448-2023-12-143-146 Optimal pumping equipment arrangement is one of the key tasks in the modern oil industry. The article considers the characteristics of a tapered pump. The conclusions are made that can be used in the selection of equipment. It is noted that the equipment is not always optimally matched to the well. Situations arise when any section of the pump starts operating outside the operating range, especially for non-standard equipment layouts such as a tapered pump. The performance of the tapered pump section in the negative pump head zone is studied insufficiently. This is the main reason for carrying out experiments and clarifying calculation algorithms. Experimental confirmation of the characteristics of a tapered pump as an algebraic sum of the characteristics of each section is provided. The authors describe a research of the characteristics of a tapered pump manufactured by Novomet-Perm, both in the positive and negative pump head zone at various frequencies. Also the operation of the upper section beyond the right boundary was analyzed. During the analysis it was found that in certain operating modes, processes occur that reduce the performance of equipment. In some situations, the deterioration of the installation increases. This type of operation is undesirable, because it leads to decrease in service life and should be avoided. The article provides recommendations on how these undesirable modes can be avoided for different frequencies and pumps.

The article describes the problem of clay swelling when freshwater-based fluids are used in hydraulic fracturing, which is one of the most used methods of stimulation of reservoir fluids production. There is a need to solve this problem by adding special reagents (clay stabilizers) to water-based hydraulic fracturing fluids, the purpose of which is to prevent the swelling of clay particles. The correct choice of the method for evaluating the inhibitory ability of clay stabilizers allows minimizing the negative impact of fluids used in hydraulic fracturing on the reservoir rock. The absence of a unified standard for testing the inhibitory ability of clay stabilizers and the presence of a great variety of research techniques does not make it possible to unambiguously assess the degree of fluid influence on clay swelling. The article proposes using centrifugation to improve the method of clay swelling evaluation by sedimentation stability of suspension. Assessment of clay swelling using an optimized method allows us to study the effect of fracturing fluids of rock to prevent adverse consequences in the form of reduced permeability of the productive zone. The method presented in this work makes it possible to shorten the time of the evaluation of the stabilizing effect of swelling inhibitors and improve the accuracy of the research results by separating free water from swollen clay. It also helps to reduce the experimental time and increase the accuracy of the results by separating free water and water retained by the clay mineral. The proposed technique increases the accuracy and efficiency of evaluating the stabilizing ability of the reagents used to prevent clay swelling, which contributes to optimizing the fluid formulation for the hydraulic fracturing process.

Akhmadeeva (Gubkin University, RF, Moscow) Researching, building and developing models of product allocation at oil and gas field tie-in at Vietsovpetro JV DOI: 10.24887/0028-2448-2023-12-156-160 Oil and gas field tie-in has been the main trend in Vietnam, in order to take advantage of the existing physical infrastructure of large fields to connect and develop small marginal oil fields. This method allows to increase the economic efficiency of fields with medium and large fields, opening up development prospects and bringing small and limited oil fields into exploitation soon. Oil and gas field tie-in has many different challenges in terms of technical and economic aspects, the ability to connect, collect, the degree of technological system improvement to receive and distribute products... For the case connecting fields to the technology system of other owners, the issue of product allocation is important related to the direct interests of investors. The authors analyze some of the distribution models that are used in Vietsovpetro JV, taking into account the specifics of each connection case. The back distribution link model allows to determine the proportion of oil distributed between oil sources, with results agreed by the stakeholders. The use of simulation models is also a highly reliable oil and gas distribution method. The use of empirical formulas allows for a quick technical assessment of the change in the amount of liquid in the system during various technological processes.
