... screening by the chemical supplier, tests focused on pour point, viscosity and yield stress. This approach allowed to identify the most efficient type of additive chemistry for the specific crude oil and to meet target performance requirements. Crude oil viscosity and yield stress under pipeline operation...

... count, well design, facility capacities etc.) and to realise the potential upsides made available by new artificial lift technologies. Artificial lift screening involves evaluating multiple criteria including rate, well design, cost, reliability, environmental impact, flow assurance, solids handling...

... potential was estimated to be on average around 70MMscf/d. With respect to the reservoir completion, slotted liners were planned in the deeper reservoirs and wire wrapped screens in the shallower ones. GAP Model The first step was to setup the expected base case infrastructure in GAP. The surface...

... be described in detail. The application of state-of-the-art metallic and polymer material and design processes will also be discussed. Finally, the paper will conclude with the status of field installations. complex reservoir perfluoroelastomer compound screening well integrity bridge plug seal...

... and then collect in oilfield production equipment. As the deposit amounts increase, they reduce the capacity of in-line separators and clog filters and screens. Clean up is exacerbated by the tendency of calcium naphthenate deposits to harden to a rock-like consistency, resulting in costly production shut downs...

... Abstract This paper presents results of a screening procedure for chemical EOR methods based on fuzzy-logic and data clustering algorithms. EOR processes considered included combinations of polymer, alkali and surfactant. Reservoir parameters are represented as triangular distributions...

..., objective risk assessment of potential countries or regions targeted for petroleum investments has become an increasingly essential part of business development in an equally dynamic global market. Though a critical decision point for transnational ventures, Country Entry Risk Screening remains time...

... remaining reserves. A simple explanation for well underperformance could be that there are no more producible hydrocarbons in place. Iraj Ershagi 6 recommends using material balance rather than decline curve analysis for marginal wells. Step II: Data screening Measuring the Pwf can be accomplished...

... Abstract We present a rapid screening technique that uses a minimal amount of measured data. Only in cases where asphaltene precipitation is predicted by the screening test would further experimental evidence, such as the measurement of onset pressure, be required. Currently the criteria...

... screening Introduction In formation damage remediation, the key is to find the critical variables involved in the successful implementation of a treatment program. However, many variables are often encountered and determining the correct and most cost-effective method of remediation can be extremely...
