Book Synopsis Well Integrity for Abandoned Well Re-entries by : Les Skinner
Download or read book Well Integrity for Abandoned Well Re-entries written by Les Skinner and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2024-09-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Well Integrity for Abandoned Well Re-entries addresses well integrity and operational risks that accompany the benefits of using an old, abandoned wellbore by providing it a second chance to perform. Re-entering an abandoned well provides new life to an old wellbore by reducing the need for drilling new wells. This, in turn, reduces emissions footprint, drilling waste, and costs for some wells. Re-entries are not without risk: adequate well integrity is integral to successful re-entry and to ensure a leak-free wellbore far into the future. The book covers well integrity basics, abandoned wells, analysis required for re-entry, potential uses for re-entered wells (including applications for EOR, CO2 EOR with sequestration, natural gas storage, geothermal heat recovery, in combination with supercritical CO2, and hydrogen storage), progresses through preliminary surface and re-entry procedures, as well as ESG (environmental, social and government) considerations and economics. Packed with case studies and tips for practical application, Well Integrity for Abandoned Well Re-entries provides readers with an understanding of re-entry techniques, pitfalls, and diagnostics to determine well integrity. This novel text digs deep into the process and benefits of re-entering abandoned wells in support of sustainability.

Book Synopsis Reservoir Modeling by : James Dietrich
Download or read book Reservoir Modeling written by James Dietrich and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-29 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many excellent textbooks about the art of petroleum reservoir modeling or reservoir simulation. This is more of a technical narrative than a textbook. It's about pitfalls commonly encountered by subsurface modeling teams and how to avoid them. The book was written with graduate students in mind who are pursuing a degree in petroleum engineering or earth science. Much of the material is new and can not be found elsewhere. The author is well aware that practicing an art is a creative endeavor that is filled with interpretation, not fact. Opinion is infused throughout the narrative. But at least the author's opinions on what went wrong in a myriad of projects are based on long personal experience. In every one of the example projects, the author was present on-site as a team member throughout the modeling effort. The example projects are major, 8 in number and located in North America, the Norwegian North Sea, Russia, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom. My career was 50 years in oil as a reservoir engineer, from 1966 to 2016. It covered the gamut from roughneck, to operations, to research and finally to international consulting. The first 10 years were with Shell Oil and Shell Development Companies, most of the next 10 years were with Todd, Dietrich & Chase, Inc. and the last 30 years were worked as The Dietrich Corporation. I knew reservoir modeling was for me after building the first major reservoir model for Shell Oil Company in 1970. The attraction was not surprising. My academic credentials in geology and engineering science were a perfect fit with the emerging technology of reservoir simulation. The overall chronology just described was recently told in a memoir titled Too Much by Half -- The Coming Cut in Proved Oil Reserves (Dietrich 2019), published by Amazon. That book tells my view of how reserves have become systematically inflated, aside from any influence of rising oil prices. It's actually part way between memoir and non-fiction -- too much of one to be properly the other. Dubbed narrative non-fiction, that tome was written for non-technical readers who are generally interested in the "peak oil" debate, an international consulting career, or simply expat living. This book is a sequel. Its content is highly technical in nature. Its genre is somewhere between a textbook and narrative non-fiction -- again, too much of one to be properly the other. It shares modeling experience of the author gained while working as The Dietrich Corporation, embedded in modeling teams of clients in 16 countries over a period of two decades. At the heart of both narratives is the struggle between reservoir engineers and geologists for control of the reservoir modeling process. That power play has now reached an end. Rules of the modeling game have quietly been changed by its new masters -- earth scientists. During the prior reign of engineering, oil trapped in poor quality rock was excluded from reserves. That oil was known to be present, but it was cut-out of the models because it could not be made to flow. It was not considered to be a portion of proven reserves. That was the status for decades. Under the new dominion of earth science, oil stored in poor quality rock is entered into the reservoir models and made available by combining it with the better quality rock. I call this process Moonbeam Modeling. It's like making high risk junk bonds valuable to investors by combining them with bonds rated AAA to A and marketing the lot as bonds rated BBB to B -- still good enough to attract capital. The difficult to move junk bonds and inaccessible oil can both be made to "flow" by fictitiously upgrading them.
Book Synopsis Advanced Well Completion Engineering by : Wan Renpu
Download or read book Advanced Well Completion Engineering written by Wan Renpu and published by Gulf Professional Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08-23 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once a natural gas or oil well is drilled, and it has been verified that commercially viable, it must be "completed" to allow for the flow of petroleum or natural gas out of the formation and up to the surface. This process includes: casing, pressure and temperature evaluation, and the proper instillation of equipment to ensure an efficient flow out of the well. In recent years, these processes have been greatly enhanced by new technologies. Advanced Well Completion Engineering summarizes and explains these advances while providing expert advice for deploying these new breakthrough engineering systems. The book has two themes: one, the idea of preventing damage, and preventing formation from drilling into an oil formation to putting the well introduction stage; and two, the utilization of nodal system analysis method, which optimizes the pressure distribution from reservoir to well head, and plays the sensitivity analysis to design the tubing diameters first and then the production casing size, so as to achieve whole system optimization. With this book, drilling and production engineers should be able to improve operational efficiency by applying the latest state of the art technology in all facets of well completion during development drilling-completion and work over operations. One of the only books devoted to the key technologies for all major aspects of advanced well completion activities. Unique coverage of all aspects of well completion activities based on 25 years in the exploration, production and completion industry. Matchless in-depth technical advice for achieving operational excellence with advance solutions.

Book Synopsis Sand Control in Well Construction and Operation by : Davorin Matanovic
Download or read book Sand Control in Well Construction and Operation written by Davorin Matanovic and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-21 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Produced sand causes a lot of problems. From that reasons sand production must be monitored and kept within acceptable limits. Sand control problems in wells result from improper completion techniques or changes in reservoir properties. The idea is to provide support to the formation to prevent movement under stresses resulting from fluid flow from reservoir to well bore. That means that sand control often result with reduced well production. Control of sand production is achieved by: reducing drag forces (the cheapest and most effective method), mechanical sand bridging (screens, gravel packs) and increasing of formation strength (chemical consolidation). For open hole completions or with un-cemented slotted liners/screens sand failure will occur and must be predicted. Main problem is plugging. To combat well failures due to plugging and sand breakthrough Water-Packing or Shunt-Packing are used.
