Computing is one tool to find this automation.GIS is a computing tool developed for integrate information and bases its work in the administration of the information related to points placed over the Earth surface.The present job shows the GIS Project developed for the Vizcacheras Field Surface Facilities, Province of Mendoza, Argentine Republic.IntroductionIn all commercial activity, and in order to improve the profitability of the business, Administrations work in the sense of adding value for their shareholders.The infrastructure for the taking of decisions is conformed by the group of the characteristic indicators of each activity and the economic results. These data will allow the Direction to have the necessary feedback information to adjust the deviations regarding the traced goal, that is to say, to adjust their interests with those of the shareholders.All increment in speed and in precision in this information regarding will be in an increment of the benefit because the deviations from the budget and the corresponding corrective actions will be the minimum.In a process means of value application and the corresponding ones likewise for obtaining the feedback information can be manual, automated or mixes of both methods. In the first case man works in a principal place because he is in the execution line without any support. In the second case man function is as a supervisor of the automatic systems that are those which are in the execution line, he uses these for his comfort; they not only execute but also inform him. In the real work world processes are mixture of both methods. The market tendency is to increment the automatism, like computing, robotics, communication, etc.. These methods are speedier than the man because they reduce the taking of decisions time and, therefore, optimize the profitability of the business.Figure N° 1 schematized a process with value application and the automation insert form.A common indicator in the petroleum industry, that contemplates the costs originated in the different stages of the production process, is the Operative Cost. Administrations will develop their activity in order to optimize it. Because the Surface Facilities are part of the production system the cost of the different items of this system will contribute to the Operative Cost. An efficient Administration that optimizes the Operative Cost will optimize, in consequence, the participation of all the costs that contribute to it and therefore the corresponding to the Surface Facilities.A form to contribute the optimization of the Surface Facilities cost is by the automation of its information systems, so as to reduce the answer times. Computing is one of the tools that allow this automation.GIS is a computing and an integrative tool of the information that belongs to the first level of the scale of the business or base information (in the petroleum industry this information will be, for example, Projects documents, Geology documents, Reservoirs documents, etc.).

Surface Facilities Development for Mature Fields

R. Morales, Jorge Navarro‐Ortiz · 2007

Abstract This work shows the main considerations adopted and proved successful for oilfield reactivation and production increase through the handling of very high gross production flow rate with high water/oil ratio. The execution strategy is focused on maximizing the production anticipation in the short-term by taking maximum advantage of the existing facilities and, in the mid- term, by developing facilities with new systems sized with flexibility and supplying them timely. All of these allowing to take advantage of the most suitable technologies existing in the market for handling, separation, treatment and disposition of high produced water flow rates, during the lifetime contract for each oilfield. Examples of this approach are the study cases presented related to water injection for secondary recovery and disposal purposes. The knowledge obtained during the development and operation of a given mature field, has been adapted for its application in another field, and so on, considering particular features and different contractual terms, allowing PESA to success in very mature oilfields with apparently very restricted development opportunities.

Integrated Reservoir-Surface Facilities Network Analysis

Wahyu Djatmiko · 2018

Abstract Accuracy in reservoir performance prediction is a key in successful oil field management. There are methods available for this purpose including a reservoir simulation technique! This technique is normally used for its comprehensiveness and it's ability to design the desired scenarios to exploit the hydrocarbon resources. Modeling of a massive reservoir (average gross thickness exceeds 100 ft) using current reservoir simulation technology is quite attractive. However, modeling multi-layer reservoirs with more than 100 reservoir layers, such as reservoirs in deltaic environments, is prohibitive. This is due to the required cells to model these reservoirs, perhaps beyond the computer memory capacity. In this case, reservoir modeling is limited to a number of reservoirs. Other reservoir performance predictions are obtained by using an analogy method. Another technique to handle a multi-layer reservoir system is to use the Decline Curve Analysis. This paper proposes a method to predict reservoir performance in a multi-layer system where the reservoir simulation technique is impractical. This method integrates reservoir performance and surface facilities network analysis to obtain the field's production rate. The production rate is calculated using an appropriate IPR curve. The curve is validated using existing production data. Using this technique, any surface facilities performance changes affect the reservoir performance. As a result, the predicted flow rate in the determined point (e.g. gathering station) may be calculated immediately. The network analysis calculates pressure or flow rate of any nodes in the network. The algorithm used in this calculation is very simple and may be applied to several pressure traverse correlations such as Hagedorn-Brown, Beggs and Brill, Azis-Govier and Mukherjee and Brill methods. These correlations may be validated using flowing pressure measurements. A complex network is solved by separating independent hybrid pipelines from the whole network and solving them individually without violating the network pressure loss constraints. Using this technique, the nodes pressure or flow rate is calculated effectively. Since this technique requires no matrix computation, it is independent of any initial guesses normally used in current methodologies. This technique may be regarded as a reservoir-network simulator.

Surface Facilities Management for Thermal Recovery Processes

Adel A. Heiba, Santanu Barua, Kunal Dutta-Roy · International Thermal Operations and Heavy Oil Symposium · 1997

Abstract Following the delineation and development of a field, the recovery of oil by cyclic steam stimulation and other thermal methods is controlled by actions taken at the surface. A number of operational variables effect the optimal management of steam stimulation programs. Generally these variables relate to the generation and allocation of steam for injection at production wells. Because the number of variables can be large, the management of steam stimulation programs is seen to require that solutions be found to constrained multivariate optimization problems. In this paper, a novel and integrated approach is presented to the optimal management of cyclic stimulation programs. The approach combines the use of technologies to simulate the flow of steam in networks and wellbores with an industrially tested variant of the Successive Quadratic Programming algorithm (SQP) for process optimization. Examples are presented that illustrate the ability of the integrated approach to optimize the allocation of steam in distribution systems for which (1) the objective is to minimize the loss of thermal energy in surface piping and wellbore tubing, and (2) the objective is to increase the value of oil production that follows stimulation. Extensions of the approach to more realistic allocation problems are found (i) to require the inclusion of steam generation costs in the formulation of optimization problems, and (ii) to require the incorporation of mechanistic reservoir models for the stimulation of oil production by steam injection.

Coagulation monitoring in surface water treatment facilities

Water Science & Technology · 1998

Coagulant dosing is traditionally determined according to results from jar-tests or operator's experience, which often lead to overdosing or insufficient dosing. In this study, the feasibility of applying an optical monitoring technique to determine chemical dosage and to monitor the coagulation performance in water treatment plants were assessed. To examine the applicability of the monitor under various operation conditions, series of batch trials in the field were conducted to explore the effects of turbidity, pH and rapid mixing intensity on the effectiveness of coagulation. The performance was directly reflected in the output ratio of the monitor, which proved to be an effective index for the floc size and its settling velocity. Therefore, we consider that the optical monitor is an useful instrument in monitoring coagulation in water treatment.
