Drilling through shale formations can be expensive and time-consuming due to the instability of wellbore. Further, there is a need develop inhibitors that are environmentally friendly. Our study discovered cost-effective solution this problem using Gum Arabic (ArG). We evaluated inhibition potential an ArG clay swelling inhibitor fluid loss controller in water-based mud (WBM) by conducting linear test, capillary suction timer zeta potential, loss, rheology tests. results displayed...
Drilling issues such as shale hydration, high-temperature tolerance, torque and drag are often resolved by applying an appropriate drilling fluid formulation. Oil-based (OBDF) formulations usually composed of emulsifiers, lime, brine, viscosifier, loss controller weighting agent. These additives sometimes outperform in extended exposure to high pressure temperature (HPHT) conditions encountered deep wells, resulting material segregation, loss, poor rheology emulsion stability. In this study,...
Summary Sand production is one of the major problems that can occur in an oil or gas well. Enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) methods have recently emerged as possible environment-friendly solutions for enhancing loose sand consolidation and preventing it from being produced with fluids to surface. This work explores increasing consolidated strength its treatment procedure using a modified EICP. The study also examines characterization generated by microorganisms computed...
Abstract In the production aspect of petroleum engineering, Productivity Index (PI) is considered as a key parameter to develop inflow performance relationships (IPR). It estimates and forecasts well productivity efficiency. The current practice obtain PI conduct rate or test in producing after which can be calculated. Many correlations have been developed predict for horizontal oil wells using reservoir properties before drilling planning purposes effectively build estimate system well....
Summary Reserves estimation is an essential part of developing any reservoir. Predicting the long-term production performance and estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) in unconventional wells has always been a challenge. Developing reliable accurate forecast oil gas industry mandatory because it plays crucial decision-making. Several methods are used to estimate EUR industry, each its advantages limitations. Decline curve analysis (DCA) traditional reserves technique that widely conventional...
A full petrographic and petrophysical characterization of tight sandstones has been conducted as part ongoing study Carbon Dioxide Enhanced Oil Gas Recovery (CO 2 -EOR/EGR) CO sequestration.The main purpose this is to give novel perception into the interplay rock characteristics fluid flow in formations, which are candidates for EOR/EGR processes (macroscopic sweep vs. microscopic displacement efficiency).To achieve this, several experimental techniques, including routine core analysis,...
Summary Wettability is a crucial parameter that governs several petrophysical attributes of oil- and gas-bearing rocks. However, the traditional methods to measure wettability index are restricted laboratory techniques, which makes measurement expensive time-consuming. Due its sensitivity fluid-solid interaction large contrast between dielectric constant oil water, earlier studies investigated use measurements for evaluation. Nevertheless, these mainly focused on qualitative assessment using...
Calcium sulfate (CaSO4) scale has been identified as one of the most common scales contributing to several serious operating problems in oil and gas wells water injectors. Removing this is considered an economically feasible process cases it enhances productivity prevents potential severe equipment damage. In study, a single-step method utilizing potassium carbonate tetrapotassium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (K4-EDTA) at high temperature (200 °F) used remove CaSO4 scale. The was converted...
During hydrocarbon drilling operations, the presence of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas could cause serious health and safety issues. Scavenging this eliminating its impact are essential requirements for a safe operation. This study investigated three H2S scavenger additives (copper nitrate, iron gluconate, potassium permanganate) on water-based fluids (WBDFs). The were tested two actual field mud samples that differ mainly in their weight. scavengers' muds was by measuring scavenging capacity...
The sand production during oil and gas extraction poses a severe challenge to the companies as it causes erosion of pipelines valves, damages pumps, ultimately decreases production. There are several solutions implemented contain including chemical mechanical means. In recent times, extensive work has been done in geotechnical engineering on application enzyme-induced calcite precipitation (EICP) techniques for consolidating increasing shear strength sandy soil. this technique, is...
Abstract Sand production is a major issue in the oil and gas industry. Unconsolidated sand can be produced with or cause many issues to facilities. Enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) promising method for consolidation characterized by its environment friendliness. Numerous studies have shown effectiveness ambient conditions. However, downhole well operations are high pressure high-temperature The objective of this study investigate effect temperature on EICP reaction efficiency...
Sand production in oil and gas wells is a significant concern, leading to equipment erosion, reduced well productivity, safety hazards. Researchers have developed an eco-friendly solution consolidate sand via Enzyme-induced Carbonate Precipitation (EICP) process. It fortifies loose wells, preventing it from resurfacing. This study addresses this challenge by developing novel EICP effective at high temperatures (120 °C). advancement goes beyond previous formulations, which often exhibited low...
