» Experience of Implementation of «Oil and Gas Pre-Transport Treatment Computer Simulator Complex» in Educational Process

More than the half of automatic control loops on plant all around the world work ineffective. While half of abnormal and accident situations are related to mistakes of operational staff – automated control systems operators miss skills and competence in consequence of different causes. Any operator activities are based on a mental model. In different companies several approaches are used for model formation and each of those approaches has its pros and cons. Characteristics of mental models and approaches for their formation are discussed in this article. One of the most spreading approaches for mental model formation – usage of computer simulators for skill training in normal and abnormal modes of technological process. For the last years investigations focused on the creation of computer simulators that suit modern requirements and standards are continuously carried out in Gubkin University. In this article the experience of successful implementation of the computer simulator into the educational process of the University is provided. Priority task list for complex oil and gas treatment plants operators is presented. Procedure of educational process using the computer simulator is described. The computer simulator implementation in training process results analysis showed that solving of each task requires definite time premature reduction of which causes the multiplication of mistakes. Also it’s important to mention that sizeable growth of basic skills is observed during first approaches of task solving. It testifies the mental model operator’s actions formation. Further the formation of professional skills and the process of more detailed technological process study begin.

Keywords: computer simulator, automated control systems, mental model, educational process, process unit operator, complex gas treatment plant.

» Coordination of the Type, Diameter and Number of Blades of PDC Bits with Rock Strength in IADC Codes

The IADC drill bit classification code has greatly simplified the identification an drilling instruments, manufactured by different companies. Three numerals forms is the base of the code. The first numeral of the PDC bits code corresponds to maximum unconfined compression strength (UCS) of the formations, for which the bit is intended, and for the roller cone bits it is the two first numeral of the code. Choice of bits needed united generalized factor, characterizing rock formations strength and area of bits applications. In the article it is suggested to characterize the strength of the rock in the IADC codes corresponding to the drill bits, the dependences of rock strength in codes from strength under uniaxial compression are given and the corresponding nomogram of selection of PDC bit types. It is known that number of the blades of PDC bit depends not only from UCS of the rock formations, but and from bit diameter. Regression equations are obtained that interfacing the number of bit blades with the upper strength value of the rocks of the drilling interval, expressed in the codes, under consideration at a significance level of 2.5 % and with a bit diameter. The sequence of the bit choice is to: determine of the bit type according to nomogram in correspondence with average and upper quantity of rock formations strength, expressed in code IADC, then calculate the number of the blades for chosen bit in accordance with bit diameter and upper quantity of the rock formations strength, expressed in code IADC, on equations of the regressions.

Keywords: PDC bits, rock formations strength, IADC codes, diameter of the bit, number of the bit blades.

» Technical and Economic Aspects of Technical Re-equipment of the Gas Distribution Stations

Development of the gas transportation systems infrastructure and the internal gas market is a key objective for the gas industry. At the same time, a large number of gas distribution stations with a gas flow rate exceeding design capacity is currently operated in the Russian Federation. Because of these «closed» stations, according to the requirements of the industrial safety legislation, the gas transportation companies are forced to refuse in increasing of gas supplies for existing gas consumers and in connecting to the gas transportation system for new ones. It restricts the implementation of regional social and commercial projects and the development of the internal gas market. As a rule, lifting of restrictions on the gas supply becomes possible only after carrying out the reconstruction of the gas distribution station with its design capacity increasing that is associated with large capital investments and time expenditure. However, there is an alternative approach to the gas distribution station throughput increasing, which requires considerably less time and financial expenses. It consists in determination of the technically possible throughput of the gas distribution station basing of the computer simulation results, in identification of weak points (separate components of equipment and piping manifold) limiting the technically possible throughput of the gas distribution station, and their elimination by capital saving technical re-equipment. It allows to increase the production capacity of the gas distribution system quite quickly and with minimum investments and create conditions for the intensification of the social and economic development of regions of the Russian Federation by extension of the consumers’ access to the gas infrastructure. Principle points, technical and economic performance, and the advantages of the technical re-equipment realization are presented in the article by an example of the concrete operating gas distribution station.

Keywords: gas distribution station, technically possible throughput, technical re-equipment, mathematical simulation.

» Detection of Disjunctive Dislocations by a Complex of Geological and Geophysical Methods in Order to Search for Oil and Gas Traps

In the Samara region, most of the deposits are correlated with the third- and fourth-order structures genetically related to plicative and disjunctive tectonics. Large tectonic ramparts of the Samara region contain more than 75 % of the economic initial recoverable oil reserves. Association of the open oil deposits with disjunctive dislocations is an important prospecting criterion for planning geological exploration and discovering new deposits. Disjunctive dislocations also play a significant role in formation and preservation of hydrocarbon deposits. Location of the oil and gas accumulations is directly or indirectly determined by the structural conditions of disjunctive dislocations increasing fissuring and collecting properties of rocks. Moreover, disjunctive dislocations along with plicative dislocations create various structural traps for oil accumulations. At the same time, the newest breaks can destroy caprocks, create high-permeability zones, and lead to the depletion of deposits until their disappearance. Therefore, the detection, study, and prediction of development of the dislocations are important. The article presents various methods of detection of disjunctive dislocations for detailing the geological and tectonic structure of the areas with tectonic ramparts formed by the movements of the basement blocks along the surfaces of disjunctive dislocations. The most obvious and high-amplitude faults are well identified and traced with data obtained during deep drilling, geomorphological analysis of aerospace images, and also gravitational, magnetic and seismic exploration. However, the detection of low-amplitude faults (less than 15 m), as well as shift faults, remains a difficult task, which solution requires application of not only one method. The problem can be solved by combining the data of different studies and analyzing the results of structural and deep drilling. The authors made an attempt to systematize stored contemporary data and concepts on the tectonic structure of the Samara region on the example of the Zhigulevsko-Samarkinskaya dislocation system. The detection and tracing of the basement highs, tectonic ramparts, and swell-like zones directly associated with disjunctive dislocations are considered by the authors as a main task for identification of new zones of oil and gas accumulation.

Keywords: faults, Zhigulevsko-Samarkinskaya dislocation system, tectonic ramparts, integration.

» Identification of the Features and Main Regularities in the Distribution of Hydrogeological Parameters of Individual Aquifers in the Gydan Peninsula

The paper considers one of the promising, but difficult-to-access areas of our country – the Gydan Peninsula. The reserves of hydrocarbon raw materials determine not only its energy potential, but also the economic development of the region as a whole. To date, there has been no comprehensive general scientific research conducted in the study area that have helped to calculate oil, gas and gas condensate reserves, and also to reliably estimate the resource potential of oil and gas prospects in the region. This article is devoted to one of the directions of the compreshive study of the Gydan oil and gas bearing area – the study and identification of the hydrogeological features of the formations of the sedimentary cover. In the hydrogeological section of the Gydan Peninsula, two hydrogeological soles are distinguished, each of which has its own specific and distinctive features, and are also almost completely hydrodynamically isolated from each other because of the presence of a thickness of mostly turonian-lower oligocene clay deposits combined with continuous wide-spread occurence of permafrost. In their studies, the authors analyzed more than 500 samples of fossil water in 192 wells in the studied territory and adjacent areas, on the basis of which the main regularities in the distribution of hydrogeological parameters of individual aquifers were determined, genetic types of aqueous solutions were determined, the groundwater was typification by the degree of metamorphism, and The features of the hydrogeological zonality of the studied territory are revealed.

Keywords: Western Siberia, the Taman Peninsula, petroleum, hydrocarbons, hydrogeology, hydrogeological floor aquifer complex mineralization, ions, salt-forming components.

» Complex Technology For Preventing Scale Formation During Oil Production

In this work, the effect of change in reservoir temperature and pressure on prediction parameters of calcium sulphate and barium sulphate scaling formation was investigated in the ranges of 60–150 °C and 0.1–70 MPa during waterflooding. Four different industrial scale inhibitors and one new developed scale inhibitor package were used for preventing scale formation under static and dynamic conditions. The effect of an increase in the concentration of calcium and barium cations in solution on the efficiency of scaling inhibitors was studied at a reservoir temperature of 80 °C. Minimum inhibitory concentration of the developed scale inhibitor package was determined by conducting dynamic tube blocking tests. Experimental core flood study was carried out to study the reduction in permeability of carbonate core samples due to precipitation of salts with and without addition of scale inhibitors. In addition, adsorption/desorption characteristics of scale inhibitors were determined depending on the number of pore volume injected.

Keywords: scale inhibitor, water flooding, prediction parameters, adsorption/desorption characteristics, formation damage.

» Principal Proposals on Technical Implementation of SWAG injection on the Urengoy Field

Oil fringes of the Urengoy oil-gas condensate field are developed for depletion without maintaining reservoir pressure. As a result, the values of reservoir pressures decreased significantly, which led to serious problems in oil production. In addition, the consequence of the development in the mode of depletion is low oil recovery. Waterflooding is the most common method of maintaining reservoir pressure (MRP). At the same time, the use of other displacing agents, more effective than water, is becoming topical for increasing the component recovery of oil-gas condensate deposits. One of such promising methods is the SWAG injection. The article presents the principal options for using the SWAG injection on the Urengoy field. They can be realized by the joint injection of water and gas in the form of water-gas mixtures. With reference to the conditions of the Urengoy field at the initial stage of the introduction of the SWAG injection at low reservoir pressures and at the next stage with the increase of reservoir pressure, various technological schemes of pump-ejecting systems. To increase the effectiveness of the SWAG process before the injection of the water-gas mixture, it is recommended to carry out filtration studies of the displacement of oil from reservoir models with water-gas mixtures at various gas contents. In the experiments, the range of rational gas contents of the mixture in the reservoir conditions is determined, in which the largest values of the oil displacement coefficient are provided, and then the mixture is pumped into the formation while ensuring the gas content of the mixture in the reservoir conditions in the range of rational gas contents. The proposed fundamental solutions will increase the efficiency of SWAG injection on the Urengoy field with a significant reduction in implementation costs.

Keywords: Urengoy field, SWAG process, pump-ejecting system.

» Investigation of Hybrid Rotary Pump

Production of high viscous oil is crucial task for Russia and other countries. However global oil production is still quite low. One of the reason of low production is the deficient of relevant equipment. The progressive cavity pumps are the main type of equipment for production of high-viscous oil. But they have a number of drawbacks which limits the appliance. Another kinds of pumps equipment are not widespread occurrence. Thus study of the working process of the Hybrid Rotary Pump is upcoming trend because the Hybrid Rotary Pump possesses such advantages as manufacturability and simple construction. Issues of the research of the Hybrid Rotary Pump with an angle insert have been studied. The construction of the HRP with the angle insert have been presented. The math model for estimation of the hydraulic resistance in the operating chambers of the Hybrid Rotary Pump was designed. Also the same computations were carried out using three-dimensional simulation. Computations suggest that the running efficiency of the hydraulic machine can be improved. Relief channels of the rotor reduce pressure difference thus the running efficiency of the hydraulic machine is increased. Micromodels of the Hybrid Rotary Pump were manufactured using 3D prototyping technology and laser cutting technology. The laboratory tests of the micromodels were carried out. The vertical lift performance of the Hybrid Rotary Pump with the angle inserts was obtained for the first time. The pump with plastic working bodies has saved working capacity with pressure difference 0,6 MPa per one operating chamber during laboratory test on a viscous liquid. Optimal zone of the design factors of the Hybrid Rotary Pump was identified and optimum ratios of the geometric parameters of operating chamber was determined based on computations and the results of the bench tests.

Keywords: rotary pump, oil production, designing, mathematical model, three-dimensional model, numerical experiment, physical experiment, experimental sample.

» The Concept of the Complex Development for Underwater Pipelines Repair

This article is devoted to the issues of creating a complex for the underwater pipelines maintenance. The basic operations necessary for underwater maintenance with the help of the installation of sealing couplings are the following: a fixation of the submarine module on the pipeline regardless of the angle of its location to the horizon; a removal of insulation and pipeline surface preparation; an installation of protection to prevent the composite from hitting the internal cavity of the pipeline; an installation of an external power belt with the ability to inject a composite into the pipeline space; the possibility of injecting a composite from the surface. Original technological and technical solutions are offered: to repair the emergency pipeline during one cycle by one lowering and one lifting of submersible equipment; to use blocks modular componentry; to place the hydraulic power drive directly near the repair site, so under water; to land the submerged block on the emergency pipeline by means of hydraulic erosion of the bottom soil through the posts of the submerged block; to carry out operations on washing, cleaning the pipeline, installing a pipeline protection and a protective belt by the use of one combined device; to inject the composite from the surface, taking into account the experience of the wells cementing; to provide the possibility of optimizing the load on the maintaining pipeline section from the weight of the submersible unit block with the aid of auxiliary floats; to provide the possibility of certain blocks switching off or their functions further increasing in a combined device. The main blocks and modules included into the repair complex are considered. Technical characteristics of a prototype of a repair complex are given.

Keywords: oil, spills, repair of underwater pipelines, a complex for underwater pipeline repair.
