hale Oil ..... a new password for the energy industry in the world, which revolved lots of discussions and debate in the corridors of the Energy Sector on the phenomenon of global ( Shale Oil ) and the impact of this oil boom - as they are called - on the future of Energy in the world and the position of the OPEC and Gulf Countries, including some of the reports mentioned the possibility of that United States of America reach Self-sufficiency of Oil through the development of its Shale Oil fields within a short time.

But despite the increase in cost production and environment caveats surrounding producing Shale Oil, but the low reserves of conventional Oil and higher prices and increased demand prompted many Oil Companies to intensify their investments in the production of Shale Oil in conjunction with the investment fields of heavy oil and bitumen in the presence of not bad reserves of this type of fuel, despite all this discussions and controversy and related figures the precautions and barriers which revolves around Shale Oil it became a reality and will play a major role in changing the future of Energy.

A variation is clear in the positions of countries in the world about Shale Oil production, United States of America gives clear indications that it will become the largest producer of Shale Oil in the world with the achievement of self-sufficiency and the tendency to export, while we see that European Countries unresolved hurry after there is a battle between supporters and opponents of the Shale Oil and Gas production is going to be a long and complex, especially since supporters of the Environment Organizations has become electorally influential figure in European Countries.

After a year of reduce the value of Shale Oil, Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to face the reality and the investigation itself in its potential with skepticism in the information available which established a special committee to study the effects of Shale Oil on Energy Markets, Saudi Arabia plans to start soon conduct «Shale Oil» exploration and ARAMCO will soon lay tenders for exploration of « Shale Oil «for the first time in the Kingdom that the excavation will take place in three regions of the Kingdom, including the» Empty Quarter «that prevails in believing that it has a large stockpile of Oil wealth.

As for other Developing Countries, including non-Oil Arab Countries, despite the availability of Shale Oil and Gas in its territory most of them do not have the necessary funds to invest in this area, despite the rising demand for energy, which means that production of Shale Oil and Gas will be limited at the present time at least in the rich Countries which has the capacity of financing, including some emerging Countries such as China, India, Brazil and South Korea, which does not constitute supporters environment where the compression strength impressive as is the case in Europe and the United States which will facilitate the expansion of the production process.

So the World is standing on the threshold of an exciting development in the production of Energy, thanks to Technological Development, if Developed Countries are able to resolve their positions with Environment defenders Organizations, the effects in Energy Industry will be significant and in case these Organizations managed to obstruct the process of expansions productivity, these effects would be inferior.

New Products Conical-Diamond- Element Technology

Fig. (1) Smith Bits’ Stinger conical-diamond element is centrally positioned in aPDC-drill-bit cutting structure.

Smith Bits, a Schlumberger company, has introduced its Stinger conical-diamond technology. The polycrystalline-diamond element enables high point loading, to fracture rock more efficiently during drilling to increase the rate of penetration (ROP) and durability.

Developed with proprietary synthetic - diamond-manufacturing technology, the conical-diamond element has anultra-thick polycrystalline -diamond layer that is significantly thicker than that of conventional polycrystallinediamond - compact (PDC) cutters.

The element’s shape is optimized for strength in axial compression. When centrally positioned in a PDC-drill-bit cutting structure (Fig. 1), the new element improves performance by crushing the formation core at the borehole center, increasing drilling speed. Using the company’s IDEAS integrated-drillbit-design platform, extensive simulationswere conducted showing ROP increasesin several rock types, including shale,limestone, and sandstone. The virtualdrilling environment demonstrated thatcentral placement of this element wouldyield an ROP increase of at least 18%.In the Williston basin, an 8¾-in. PDCbit typically is used to drill the verticalhole before the curve and the lateralsection in the Bakken oil-bearing sands.

In field tests, centrally placed conicaldiamond- element technology was added to the baseline vertical-section-drill-bit design.

Average ROP was increased by more than 46% compared with the nextbest performance in offset wells, with a record ROP increase of 77%.

HP/HT Liner-Top Packer

With standard service ratings up to 15,000 psi and 400°F, Weatherford’s SwageSet liner-top packer (Fig.4) meets International Organization for Standardization 14310 standards and is V0 qualified, demonstrating its capability to withstand combined loading conditions while maintaining seal integrity. In high-pressure/ high-temperature (HP/HT) environments, this packer increases reliability with a patentpending seal assembly that is swaged to the host casing.

Fig. (4)Weatherford’s SwageSet liner-top packer.

Run as part of a liner-hanger assembly, the packer element forms a permanent, antiextrusion seal between the liner outside wall and host-casing inside wall. The seal is formed by transferring set-down weight through the polished- bore receptacle and into the integral swage, firmly sealing the packer element against the host-casing inside wall. Setting force is permanently locked into the element with integral bodylock rings. The packer’s seal system consists of ridge-shaped elastomers bonded to an expandable-metal ring and is less susceptible to swabbing off than conventional, all-elastomer elements when running in the hole or circulating at high flow rates during well-cleanup or cementing operations. The packer serves as a positivehigh-performance barrier at the linertop, preventing gas migration and isolatingannular pressures.

Peak Well Systems added the SIM FloWell(Fig. 5) to its SIM System well-remediation and flow-control tools.

The new tool is a slick line-set remedial technology that is capable of Fig.(5)Peak Well Systems’ removing formation damage within selected downhole zones to improve SIM FloWell tool. productivity.

This system improves well productivity by removing certain types of formation damage (e.g., crushed zones in perforation tunnels and tenacious filter cake and scale) in oil and gas wells that were wire line perforated. The condition of the nearwellbore region is critical in producing hydrocarbons, and the perforating process is a major contributor to skin damage.

The severe compressive force of perforating can reduce the permeability of the surrounding rock, which in turn reduces productivity. Used in conjunction with the company’s SIM Plug System to provide selective isolation of the zone to be treated, the treating tool induces a sudden pressure drawdown in the wellbore, causing a surge of fluid inflow from the reservoir to reduce the skin damage. Because the tool is run, set, and retrieved on slick line it offers a low-risk intervention to clean up wellbore damage while conducting routine slickline operations.

What Is Oil Shale?

The term oil shale generally refers to any sedimentary rock that contains solid bituminous materials (called kerogen) that are released as petroleum-like liquids when the rock is heated in the chemical process of pyrolysis. Oil shale was formed millions of years ago by deposition of silt and organic debris on lake beds and sea bottoms. Over long periods of time, heat and pressure transformed the materials into oil shale in a process similar to the process that forms oil; however, the heat and pressure were not as great. Oil shale generally contains enough oil that it will burn without any additional processing, and it is known as ÂŤthe rock that burnsÂť.

Oil shale can be mined and processed to generate oil similar to oil pumped from conventional oil wells; however, extracting oil from oil shale is more complex than conventional oil recovery and currently is more expensive. The oil substances in oil shale are solid and cannot be pumped directly out of the ground. The oil shale must first be mined and then heated to a high temperature (a process called retorting); the resultant liquid must then be separated and collected. An alternative but currently experimental process referred to as in situ retorting involves heating the oil shale while it is still underground, and then pumping the resulting liquid to the surface.

Oil Shale Resources Location of the Green River Formation Oil Shale and Its Main Basins While oil shale is found in many places worldwide, by far the largest deposits in the world are found in the United States in the Green River Formation, which covers portions of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming.

Estimates of the oil resource in place within the Green River Formation range from 1.2 to 1.8 trillion barrels.

Not all resources in place are recoverable; however, even a moderate estimate of 800 billion barrels of recoverable oil from oil shale in the Green River Formation is three times greater than the proven oil reserves of Saudi Arabia. Present U.S. demand for petroleum products is about 20 million barrels per day. If oil shale could be used to meet a quarter of that demand, the estimated 800 billion barrels of recoverable oil from the Green River Formation would last for more than 400 years1.

More than 70% of the total oil shale acreage in the Green River Formation, including the richest and thickest oil shale deposits, is under federally owned and managed lands. Thus, the federal government directly controls access to the most commercially attractive portions of the oil shale resource base.

The Oil Shale Industry While oil shale has been used as fuel and as a source of oil in small quantities for many years, few countries currently produce oil from oil shale on a significant commercial level. Many countries do not have significant oil shale resources, but in those countries that do have significant oil shale resources, the oil shale industry has not developed because historically, the cost of oil derived from oil shale has been significantly higher than conventional pumped oil. The lack of commercial viability of oil shale-derived oil has in turn inhibited the development of better technologies that might reduce its cost.

Relatively high prices for conventional oil in the 1970s and 1980s stimulated interest and some development of better oil shale technology, but oil prices eventually fell, and major research and development activities largely ceased.

More recently, prices for crude oil have again risen to levels that may make oil shale-based oil production commercially viable, and both governments and industry are interested in pursuing the development of oil shale as an alternative to conventional oil.

Oil Shale Mining and Processing Oil shale can be mined using one of two methods: underground mining using the Major Process Steps in Mining and Surface Retorting room-and-pillar method or surface mining.

After mining, the oil shale is transported to a Mining and Oil Oil to Retorting facility for retorting, a heating process that crushing upgrading refinery separates the oil fractions of oil shale from the mineral fraction.. The vessel in which retorting takes place is known as a retort.

Spent shale After retorting, the oil must be upgraded disposal Reclamation by further processing before it can be sent on - site to a refinery, and the spent shale must be disposed of. Spent shale may be disposed of in surface impoundments, or as fill in graded areas; it may also be disposed of in previously mined areas. Eventually, the mined land is reclaimed. Both mining and processing of oil shale involve a variety of environmental impacts, such as global warming and greenhouse gas emissions, disturbance of mined land, disposal of spent shale, use of water resources, and impacts on air and water quality. The development of a commercial oil shale industry in the United States would also have significant social and economic impacts on local communities. Other impediments to development of the oil shale industry in the United States include the relatively high cost of producing oil from oil shale (currently greater than $60 per barrel), and the lack of regulations to lease oil shale.

Surface Retorting While current technologies are adequate for oil shale mining, the technology for surface retorting has not been successfully applied at a commercially viable level in the United States, although technical viability has been demonstrated. Further development and testing of surface retorting technology is needed before the method is likely to succeed on a commercial scale.

Surface Retort

In Situ Retorting Shell Oil is currently developing an in situ conversion process (ICP). The process involves heating underground oil shale, using electric heaters placed in deep vertical holes drilled through a section of oil shale.

The volume of oil shale is heated over a period of two to three years, until it reaches 650–700 °F, at which point oil is released from the shale. The released product is gathered in collection wells positioned within the heated zone.

Major Process Steps in Thermally Conductive In-Situ Conversion

Drilling and site preparation

Heating and production

Oil to refinery

Postproduction clean-up

Shells current plan involves use of ground-freezing technology to establish an underground barrier called a «freeze wall» around the perimeter of the extraction zone. The freeze wall is created by pumping refrigerated fluid through a series of wells drilled around the extraction zone. The freeze wall prevents groundwater from entering the extraction zone, and keeps hydrocarbons and other products generated by the in-situ retorting from leaving the project perimeter.

Shell’s process is currently unproven at a commercial scale, but is regarded by the U.S. Department of Energy as a very promising technology. Confirmation of the technical feasibility of the concept, however, hinges on the resolution of two major technical issues: controlling groundwater during production and preventing subsurface environmental problems, including groundwater impacts.1 Both mining and processing of oil shale involve a variety of environmental impacts, such as global warming and greenhouse gas emissions, disturbance of mined land; impacts on wildlife and air and water quality. The development of a commercial oil shale industry in the U.S. would also have significant social and economic impacts on local communities. Of special concern in the relatively arid western United States is the large amount of water required for oil shale processing; currently, The Shell In-Situ Coversion Process oil shale extraction and processing require several barrels of water for each barrel of oil produced, though some of the water can be recycled.

has become the buzz word of the decade!

The precise manipulation and control of matter at dimensions of (1-100) nanometers have revolutionized many industries including the Oil and Gas industry. Its broad impact on more than one discipline is making it of increasing interest to concerned parties.

The Nanotechnology applications have pierced through different Petroleum disciplines from Exploration, to Reservoir, Drilling, Completion, Production and Processing & Refinery. For instance, Nano-sensors have been developed rapidly to enhance the resolution of the subsurface imaging leading to advanced field characterization techniques. Nanotechnology also strikes the stage of production enormously to enhance the oil recovery via molecular modification and manipulate the interfacial characteristics.

Moreover, in a very similar fashion,

it provides novel approaches to improved post production processes.

Only very few publications were able to report the latest accomplishments in different Petroleum Engineering domains. This paper provides an overview of the latest Nano-technological solutions in the O&G industry and covers the recent research developments that have been carried out around the world and paves the way for many researchers and organizations who are interested in the integration of these technological advancements, to discover the challenges and the revolution that Nanotechnology is about to bring to O&G Industry in Egypt.

Egypt’s domestic demand for oil is increasing rapidly. Oil consumption has grown by more than 30% in the past ten years. Also, the hydrocarbon reserves in Egypt have witnessed an average increase of 5%/year over the past seven years, while the average recovery factor is still stuck at the 35%.

Nanotechnology holds the key solution to this local production challenge as

it helps increase the recovered oil and decreases the cost of production by eliminating problems that occur throughout the field development operations.

Introduction Nanotechnology is the use of very small pieces of material, at dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers, by themselves or their manipulation to create new large scale materials, where unique phenomena enable novel applications.

In simple terms, Nanotechnology is science, engineering, and technology conducted at the Nanoscale. Nanotechnology draws its name from the prefix “nano�. A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter- a distance equal to two to twenty atoms (depending on what type of atom) laid down next to each other.

Nanotechnology refers to manipulating the structure of matter on a length scale of some small number of nanometers, interpreted by different people at different times as meaning anything from 0.1 nm (controlling the

shale permeability through physically plugging the nanometer-sized pores and shut off water loss. Hence, Nanoparticles can provide potential solution for environmentally sensitive areas where Oil-based muds used as a solution to shale instability problems (Price et al., 2012).

Bit Balling: According to (Amanullah and Al-Tahini, 2009), Nanomaterialbased drilling mud with hydrophobic film forming capability on the bit and stabilizer surfaces is expected to eliminate the bit and stabilizer balling totally. Due to high surface area to volume ratio and very low concentration requirement compared to macro and micromaterial-based fluids, nano-based fluid could be the fluid of choice for drilling in shale which is very reactive, highly pliable, and tenacious and thus can stick easily to the bit, stabilizers, tool joints, etc. as it prevents the reduction in ROP and in total operating cost.

Torque and Drag: Due to fine and very thin film forming capability of nanomaterials, nano-based fluids can provide a significant reduction of the frictional resistance between the pipe and the borehole wall due to the formation of a continuous and thin lubricating film in the wall-pipe interface.

Moreover, the tiny spherical nanoparticles may create an ultrathin bed of ball bearing type surface between the pipe and the borehole wall and thus can allow easy sliding of the drill string along the nano-based ballbearing surface. This highlights the extraordinary role of nano-based smart fluid in reducing the torque and drags problems of horizontal, extended reach, multilateral and coiled tubing drilling (Amanullah and Al-Tahini, 2009).

Removal of Toxic Gases: Hydrogen sulfide is a very dangerous, toxic and corrosive gas. It can diffuse into drilling fluid from formations during drilling of gas and oil wells. Hydrogen sul-

30 Petroleum Today

fide should be removed from the mud to reduce the environmental pollution, protect the health of drilling workers and prevent corrosion of pipelines and equipment.

Sayyadnejad et al., 2008, used 1425 nm zinc oxide particles size and 44-56 m2/g specific surface area to remove hydrogen sulfide from waterbased drilling fluid according to the following chemical reaction (ZnO + H2S â&#x2020;&#x2019; ZnS + H2O) The efficiency of these nanoparticles in the removal of hydrogen sulfide from drilling mud was evaluated and compared with that of bulk zinc oxide. Their results demonstrated that synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles are completely able to remove hydrogen sulfide from water based drilling mud in about 15 min., whereas bulk zinc oxide is able to remove 2.5% of hydrogen sulfide in as long as 90 min. under the same operating conditions.

High Temperature and High Pressure (HTHP) Challenges: In high temperature and high pressure drilling (HTHP) operations, usual drilling fluid systems have relatively poor heat transfer coefficient. The cooling efficiency of the traditional drilling fluids decreases due to slow dissipation of heat from the surfaces of down hole tools and equipment. Hence, there is a higher scope of equipment failure due to thermal degradation effect of high temperature.

The extremely high surface area to volume ratio of nanoparticles enhances the thermal conductivity of Nanobased drilling fluids which provides efficient cooling of drill bit leading to a significant increase in operating life cycle of a drill bit.

Due to the presence of an astronomical high number of extremely tiny particles with huge surface area, high heat tolerance, high thermal conductivity, high mobility,

effective interaction with external and internal rock surfaces, nano-based drilling mud systems are expected to play a pivotal role in current and future HTHP drilling operations, complex drilling conditions, deep water drilling operations, etc. (Amanullah et. al., 2011) Increase down hole tools life: The down hole tools and equipment are always exposed to abrasive forces due to high kinetic energy associated with the particles present naturally in the subsurface formations and the drill solids added to the drilling fluid system for specific functions. These forces cause the wear and the tear for most of the down hole equipment, especially in deviated and horizontal wells where the tools are more exposed to these abrasive forces.

Because of their extremely small size, nanoparticles are preferred to be used in drilling fluid design as their abrasive forces are negligible with less kinetic energy impact. In addition to all advantages of using nanoparticle in mud design, it is safer than conventional mud from the point of environmental view. The nanoparticles are added to mud in small amount, with low concentration about 1%. So, Nano-based drilling fluids could be the fluid of choice in conducting drilling operations in sensitive environments to protect other natural resources (Amanullah et. al., 2011).

2.2. Drilling Bits Nanodiamond PDC Technology: Carbon nanomaterials are extremely interesting because of their unique combination of mechanical, structural, electrical and thermal properties. In case of challenging drilling operations, harsher conditions are met and the need for effective drilling bits increases.

Nanodiamond particles have been functionalized for polycrystalline diamond applications such as polycrystalline diamond compact

(PDC) cutters for drill bits. They give PDC cutters unique surface characteristics that allow them to integrate homogeneously into PDC synthesis.

Chakraborty et al., 2012, studied the functionalization of nanodiamond, integration into the PDC matrix and subsequent property enhancement in comparison to the base PDC matrix.

The performance of PDC cutters produced, the behaviors and proposed mechanisms are still an area of interest.

controlled by nanoscale coatings within the composite grain structure.

The nanomatrix of the material is high strength and has unique chemical properties that conventional materials do not.

Salinas et al., 2012, explained the chemistry and layering of the nanoscale coating within the grain structure, the unique material properties, and lab testing data of this truly interventionless nanostructured material technology.

2.3. Down Hole Tools

2.4. Cement

High Strength Nanostructured Materials: Flow control and Completion devices such as fracturing balls, discs, and plugs are used for sleeve actuation or stimulation diversion during fracturing. Traditional light weight material for ball or plug applications are prone to early yielding or shape changes. The yield strength of conventional aluminum alloys is usually less than 400 MPa.

Cement spacer: Nano-emulsions are emulsions where the droplet size of the internal phase is in the nanoscale (<500 nm). Due to their small dimensions they have a high surface area and show very different properties. Maserati et al., 2010 proposed that solvent in water nano-emulsions used as cement spacer formulation could allow optimizing the cleaning of the casing during the cement job with a high improvement of the performances of the spacers currently in use.

Nanotechnology can be effectively employed to enhance the mechanical properties and other desirable properties through engineering the material microstructure (Zhang et al., 2012).

Current polymer material must be milled away, flowed back or otherwise removed before production.

Severe deformation of currently used materials that prevent flow back have been reported, leading to potential restrictions in the tubing which requires costly intervention operations to either remove or replace the tools and resulting in higher operational inefficiency.

Using controlled electrolytic metallic (CEM) nanostructured material that is lighter than aluminum and stronger than some mild steels, but disintegrates when it is exposed to the appropriate fluid. The disintegration process works through electrochemical reactions that are

Using this methodology, based on high efficiency system with reduced chemical dosage, can also result in a considerable optimization of product cost of effective cement operation.

Enhancing Cement Properties: Due to the very high surface area of nanomaterials, they can also be used in oil well cementing to accelerate the cement hydration process, increase compressive strength, help control fluid loss, reduce probability of casing collapse and prevent the gas migration which is one of the cementing prob-

lems in gas wells. Moreover, they are often required in small quantities.

Santra et al., 2012, managed to investigate several types of nanomaterials to be used in the oil well cementing industry: (1) nanosilica and nanoalumina as potential accelerators; (2) nanomaterials including carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with high aspect ratio to enhance mechanical properties; (3) nanomaterials to reduce permeability/porosity; and (4) nanomaterials to increase thermal and/ or electrical conductivity.

Currently, the most active research areas dealing with cement and concrete are: understanding of the hydration of cement particles and the use of Nanosize ingredients such as alumina and Nano carbon tubes particles. CNT are expected to have several distinct advantages as a reinforcing material for cements as compared to more traditional fibers (Rahimirad et al., 2012).

2.5. Well Logging Logging-while-drilling (LWD): Currently, almost all available neutron porosity logging-while-drilling (LWD) tools use He-3 detectors to detect neutrons down hole due to their mechanical robustness and the absence of the limitations to operate at high temperatures.

Unfortunately, the lack of sufficient quantities of the He-3 isotope caused by the depletion of its stockpile accumulated during the Cold War makes this material unavailable to well logging industry for the next 3 to 5 years. Among all other available neutron detection technologies, only Li-6 scintillation detectors do not have limitations on neutron detection efficiency that would prevent them from consideration for LWD applications (Nikitin and Korjik, 2012).

The key component of Li-6 scintillation detector is the scintillation

material containing Li-6 isotope. To be used as detectors for neutron porosity LWD tools based on pulsed neutron generators (PNG), such material should be able to operate at high temperature and enable large neutron detector constructions.

Nikitin and Korjik, 2012, presented new Li-6 scintillation nanostructured glass-ceramics that perform substantially better than all available Li-6 scintillation materials.

It is this performance improvement provided by nanostructured nature of obtained material which enables its use in the neutron detectors of PNGbased neutron porosity LWD tools.

Bhatia and Chacko, 2011, mentioned that the recovery of gas from hydrates requires the dissociation of gas hydrates which can be accomplished in at least three ways: thermal recovery, depressurization or by chemical inhibition. But, the problems associated are:  Most chemical additives (salt, methanol, and glycol) cause pipe and equipment corrosion, ecological problems.  Preheated gas or liquid transportation down to hydrate zone is accompanied by extensive heat loss.  Microwave or electromagnetic method also requires vast energy transfer to decomposition zone and is inefficient.

Bhatia and Chacko, 2011, suggested the injection of air-suspended selfheating Ni-Fe nanoparticles (50 nm)

in the hydrate formation through horizontal well. These particles will penetrate deep into the class I, II and H hydrate reservoir by passing through the cavities (86-95 nm). The selfheating of Ni-Fe particles in a magnetic field is caused by hysteresis loss and relaxation losses. These particles cause a temperature rise up to 42 0C in formation leading to disturbance in thermodynamic equilibrium and causing the water cage to decompose and release methane. In this technique, the pressure of the fluids in contact with hydrate is lowered, pushing the hydrate out of its stability region and leading to its decomposition.

Bhatia and Chacko, 2011, discovered that the less expensive, readily available Eggwhite (Ovalbumin) can catalyze the reaction which results in large scale formation of these nanoparticles. The main advantage of this technique is the very low dosage requirements (small quantity required for 1m3 of Hydrate decomposition).

Moreover, the nanoparticles used are non-poisonous, environment friendly.

3.2. Stimulation Viscoelastic Surfactant (VES) Stimulation Fluid: High-molecular-weight cross-linked polymer fluids have been used to stimulate oil and gas wells for decades. These fluids exhibit exceptional viscosity, thermal stability, proppant transportability, and fluid leak-off control. However, a major drawback of cross-linked polymer fluids is the amount of polymer residue they leave behind. Polymer residue has been shown to significantly damage formation permeability and fracture conductivity.

Recently, viscoelastic surfactant (VES) fluids composed of lowmolecular-weight surfactants have been used as hydraulic fracturing and frac-packing fluids. The surfactants structurally arrange in brine to form rod-like micelles that exhibit viscoelastic fluid behavior. VES fluids,

- September 2013

once broken, leave very little residue or production damage. However, excessive fluid leak-off and poor thermal stability has significantly limited their use (Crews and Huang, 2008).

Huang et al., 2007, investigated the nanometer-scale particles and displayed unusual surface morphologies and have high surface reactivity. These nanometer-scale particles, through chemisorption and surface charge attraction, associate with VES micelles to: 1) stabilize fluid viscosity at high temperatures; and 2) produce a pseudo filter cake of viscous VES fluid that significantly reduces the rate of fluid loss and improves fluid efficiency. When internal breakers are used to break the VES micelles, the fluid will dramatically lose its viscosity and the pseudo-filter cake will then break into nanometer-sized particles. Since the particles are small enough to pass through the pore throat of producing formations, they will be flowed back with the producing fluids, and no damage will be generated. The results of rheology leak-off and core flow tests will be presented for the VES fluid systems at temperatures 150°F and 250°F as illustrated in Figure 4.

3.3. Scale Inhibition: Kazemi et al., 2012, recommended preventing adhesion of Scale on Rock

by Nanoscale Modification of the Surface. They showed in their work that organosilane has some potential to prevent scale deposition directly – i.e. Even in the absence of scale inhibitors. Creation of self-assembled organosilane films from solutions of different concentrations showed differences in film density/thickness and in scale deposition onto the films.

This suggests that there are different film structures present, with different propensities to inhibit scale, and this in turn suggests that there is potential to optimize such films for the purpose of inhibiting scale deposition.

Kumar et al., 2012 provided new idea

that can potentially inhibit the formation of scales inside the production tubing by Creating a super hydrophobic surface with multi-scale nano structures on the inside of the production tubing can greatly reduce the chances of scale deposition. This surface is created on epoxy paint surfaces using a feasible dip coating process. Microstructures are created on this surface using sandblast. Then nano structures are introduced on to the micro surface by anchoring 50-100 micro-meter SiO2 particles and finally completed by dip coating with nano SiO2/epoxy adhesive solution as shown in Figure 5.

The hydrophobicity is further enhanced by another dip coating of a low surface energy polymer, aminopropyl. The super hydrophobic surface shows a contact angle of 167.8 degrees (Cui et al. 2009) for water, and has high stability in basic and common organic solvents (Kumar et al., 2012).

4. Reservoir Management and EOR 4.1. Enhanced Oil Recovery Nanoparticles are small enough to pass through pore throats in typical reservoirs, but they nevertheless can be retained by the rock.

Rodriguez et al., 2009, injected concentrated (up to ~20 wt. %) aqueous suspensions of surface-treated silica nanoparticles (D = 5 nm and 20 nm) into sedimentary rocks of different lithologies and permeabilities. The particles generally undergo little ultimate retention, nearly all being eluted by a lengthy post flush.

The Nanoparticles in an aqueous dispersion will assemble themselves into structural arrays at a discontinuous phase such as oil, gas, paraffin, or polymer. The particles that are present in this three-phase contact region tend to form a wedge-like structure and force themselves between the discontinuous phase and the substrate as illustrated in Figure 6.

Particles present in the bulk fluid exert pressure forcing the particles in the confined region forward, imparting the disjoining pressure force. The energies that drive this mechanism are Brownian motion, and electrostatic repulsion between the particles (Kirtiprakash et al., 2012).

The force imparted by a single particle is extremely weak, but when large amounts of small particles are present, referred to as the particle volume fraction, the force can be upwards of 50,000 Pa at the vertex as shown in Figure 7.

When this force is confined to the vertex of the discontinuous phases, displacement occurs in an attempt to regain equilibrium.

Ogolo et al., 2012, used nanoparticles oxides of Aluminum, Zinc, Magnesium, Iron, Zirconium, Nickel, Tin and Silicon. It was imperative to find out the effect of these nanoparticle oxides on oil recovery since this is the primary objective of the oil industry.

4.2. Nanosensors for Hydrocarbon Detection in Oil-Field Rocks: Nanoparticles that show minimal retention can be employed as sensingcapability carrier to detect fluid and rock properties of the producing zone.

For example, paramagnetic nanoparticles delivered to the target formation could evaluate fluids saturations there, with application of magnetic field and measurement of response (Zhang et al., 2011).

In other words, Sequestering a hydrophobic compound in a Nanoparticle (NP) composed of an oxidized carbon core and a polymer shell can be extended to efficiently transport hydrophobic compounds through oil-field rocks and selectively release them when the rock contains oil. These readily-prepared NPs bearing cargo could be injected into the subsurface and then recovered and analyzed for the presence of the cargo;

release of the cargo would indicate the presence of oil. When used in this manner, the NPs can be described as nanoreporters as shown in Figure 8.

(Berlin et al., 2011).

In Figure 8, (a) NPs (grey circle with blue lines radiating) carrying hydrophobic cargo (red rectangles) are injected into the subsurface. (b) While flowing through the subsurface, the nanoreporters encounter oil and release their hydrophobic cargo into the oil. (c) The nanoreporters are recovered and analyzed for the presence of the cargo; the extent of its absence indicates the extent of subsurface oil. (Berlin et al., 2011).

4.3. Oil-Microbe Detection Tool Using Nano Optical Fibers: Nano Optical Fibers are used for transmission of laser light, penetrating the formation, to the required destination in the porous rock matrix and receive the reflected light.

Jahagirdar, 2008, proposed the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oil-Microbe Detection Toolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, using Nano optical fibers as a part of the tool, to detect he bypassed oil or the oil left behind after waterflooding, which has followed a cycle of Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR).

This methodology makes the planning of EOR operation, after knowing the precise regions where bypassed oil resides, easier and efficient.

5. Refining and Processing The oil refining and petrochemical industry is the first area to which Nanotechnology has contributed with lots of applications and potential solution to its challenges. Nanoparticle catalysts have been used for almost 100 years in the refinery industry.

During the last two decades, nanotechnology has made substantial contributions to refining and converting fossil fuels. The development of

Petroleum Today

mesoporous catalyst materials such as MCM-41 has significantly changed downstream refining. Nano-filters and particles have the ability to remove harmful toxic substances such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and related acids and acid anhydrides from vapor, and mercury from soil and water, with exact precision.

Nanotechnology further provides solutions for carbon capture and long-term storage.

Emerging nanotechnology has opened the door to the development of a new generation of nanomembranes for enhanced separation of gas streams and removal of impurities from oil (Kong and Ohadi, 2010).

Upgrading of bitumen and heavy crude oil has been another important challenge. Because of their high density and viscosity, it is difficult to handle and transport these chemicals to locations where they can be converted into valuable products.

Nano-catalysts may offer a solution for on-site upgrading of bitumen and heavy crude oil (Ying and Sun, 1997).

Significant resources and intense research activities have been devoted to develop processes and specifically designed nanocatalysts for on-site field upgrading combined with hydrogen/ methane production (Esmaeili, 2009).

Future Challenges in Egypt Egyptâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s domestic demand for oil is increasing rapidly. Oil consumption has grown by more than 30% in the past ten years. Also, the hydrocarbon reserves in Egypt have witnessed an average increase of 5% / year over the past seven years, while the average recovery factor is still stuck at the 35%.

Field development operations are considered as one of the effective solutions to meet the soaring energy demand. Nanotechnology holds the key solution to this local production challenge as it helps increase the recovered oil and decreases the cost of production by eliminating problems

that occur throughout development operations.

the

field

For increasing the production, Egypt has large resources of heavy oil have not been well managed yet.

Moreover, up till now, Unconventional Resources have not been explored.

Present updates technologies have to be applied to explore more fields and improve the development operations.

Advanced methods of exploration, remote sensing and seismic with improved resolution could change the future of Oil and Gas. Nanosensors and imaging method can improve the success of the exploration by improving data gathering, recognizing shallow hazards, and avoiding dry holes.

For decreasing production costs, many solutions have been mentioned above for almost all massive problems occurring within development operations from drilling through cementing, logging and completion to production.

Nanotechnology may be one of the magic solution to lots of challenges in Egypt and worldwide, but being still under research, at least it is a must to encourage the research work on this trend and give it more interest trying to keep updated with latest technologies worldwide.

There are numerous areas of the petroleum industry where nanotechnology can contribute to more efficient, less expensive, and more environmentally technologies than those that are readily available. The future possibilities for nanotechnology in the petroleum industry are identified as follows (Mokhatab et al., 2006; Esmaeili, 2009; Jackson, 2005; Kong and Ohadi, 2010): 1)Improved success of exploration by improving data gathering, recognizing shallow hazards, and avoiding dry holes.

3)Improved elastomers, critical to deep drilling and drilling in hightemperature/high-pressure environments.

4)Production assurance in diagnostics, monitoring surveillance, and management strategies.

5)Corrosion management for surface, subsurface, and facilities applications.

6)Lightweight, rugged materials that reduce weight requirements on offshore platforms, and more reliable and more energy-efficient transportation vessels.

7)Selective filtration and waste management for water and carbon nanotube applications.

8)Enhanced oil and gas recovery through reservoir property modification, facility retrofitting, gas property modification, and water injection.

9)Refining and petrochemicals technologies.

Conclusions This paper has provided a review on the latest research progress in Nanotechnology applications of interest and showed that Nanotechnology offers real potentials of changing the way we look at oil and gas industry. It presented most recent laboratory work and showed the promising future of Nanotechnology applications in the forms of structural nanomaterials, smart nanofluids, advanced nanosensors and nanomembranes.

bstract Increased hydrocarbon recovery and accelerated production from ultra-high water mobility oil-wet reservoir requires the application of advanced well completion technologies to address premature water breakthrough, reservoir management, production management and extended reservoir contact from a single well location. The Burgan Reservoir of Minagish Field, West Kuwait has active aquifer, very high permeability sands associated with active faults and contain highly viscous reservoir fluid with downhole viscosity of 40cp, enhances water mobility and resulted in premature water breakthrough with increasing water cut trend within few months of production as confirmed from well performance of existing horizontal wells. This has resulted in to nonuniform reservoir depletion, by-passed oil regions and low oil recovery.

Burgan reservoir by combining the Level-4 junction along with stacked dual lateral completion having customized viscosity independent Inflow Control Device (ICD), customized two Inflow-Control Valves as well as down hole gauges, wide operating range Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP), suitable wellheads, X-MAS tree and Integrated surface panel for real time data monitoring.

The smart multilateral well has assisted in addressing premature water breakthrough, enhanced dry oil production and facilitated uniform depletion, which results in improved hydrocarbon recovery. The paper covers the customized design of smart Level-4 multilateral well by taking in to account the reservoir and its fluid characterization, well architecture, implementation and specially designed invert emulsion drilling fluid for effective wellbore cleanup to achieve formation virginity. The improved reservoir management and production management results are also mentioned in this paper.

Introduction The advance smart multilateral well equipped with Inflow Control Device (ICD) and Inflow Control Valve (ICV) along with downhole gauges is identified as the optimum solution to accelerate oil production rate, maximize reservoir contact from a single well location and achieve adequate proactive reservoir management as well as production management to maximize oil recovery in high water mobility Burgan reservoir of Minagish field, West Kuwait. The Minagish field located in the West Kuwait (figure 1) is a north-south trending anticline with hydrocarbon contained in six major reservoirs ranging in age from early Jurassic to late Cretaceous and consists of both sandstone and carbonate reservoirs. The Burgan sandstone reservoir is lying at the crest of Minagish Field. The lower part of reservoir consists of massive channel sand and the upper part of reservoir contains vertically stacked thin laminated sand bodies with extensive lateral facies variation (figure 2).

utilizing the most reliable equipment minimizes the needs of surveillance jobs, workover jobs related to water shut-off and other workover jobs for intelligent completions. In addition the suitable wellheads and X-MAS design was customized to incorporate the intelligent completion and ESP completion separately. The well schematic of smart multilateral “Well A” and “Well B” is shown in figure 6. The selection and design of inflow control device, intelligent completion, level-4 multilateral junction and ESP completion system are detailed in the following sections.

Suitable Inflow Control Device (ICD) Selection and Design There are different passive ICD types available in the industry categorized mainly as friction based and restriction based ICD system.

The channel and tube type lCD’s are friction based system uses friction to create pressure drop for inflow balancing across sand face and are highly dependent upon viscosity.

The restriction type lCD’s are mainly classified as nozzle type and orifice type. The pressure drop through restriction type ICD is a function of density and fluid velocity. Further the restriction type ICD are independent of fluid viscosity for a wide range of viscosity values.

The selection of appropriate ICD type is the main success factor for horizontal or multilateral wells and is highly dependent on reservoir fluid properties specifically the viscosity of oil and water at in-situ conditions, reservoir permeability and the mobility of low viscosity fluids such as formation water and gas. The following objectives were considered for ICD completion to complete the horizontal openhole section of mother bore and upper lateral of smart multilateral wells.

entire horizontal production section of both main mother bore and upper lateral. b. Control water production from relatively high permeability layers upon water breakthrough. c. Automatic adjustment capability to compensate changes in well inflow profile over production life of wells. d. Provide uniform sweep efficiency across sand face. e. Minimize annular flow. f. Minimize pressure drop through ICD housing in order to improve flowing bottom hole pressure (FBHP) in both mother bore and upper lateral. g. Minimize by-passed oil regions and maximize oil recovery. h. Maximize production life of wells.

Based upon the objectives and by considering the physics and chemistry of fluid flow inside the Burgan reservoir under well operating conditions of smart multilateral well, the most suitable nozzle type Inflow control device completion was selected. Usually the pressure drop through nozzle based ICD system is described by the Bernoulli’s equation, because of the pressure drop through a nozzle is a result of static energy in the fluid being converted to kinetic energy as it is flowing through the restricted nozzle throat area. However, the Bernoulli’s equation applied to the flow through nozzle assumes no friction losses and viscosity effects are negligible, Incompressible fluid flow (density is constant), flow is steady and inviscid (requirement of Euler validity) and also the equation relates to the fluid states at two points along a single stream line. Based upon these assumptions the pressure drop through the nozzle is given by:

In the case of highly viscous fluid flow through nozzle the flow regime falls mostly in the laminar flow region and the discharge coefficient CD is variable depending upon Reynolds number as detailed by2 (J. Eric Lauritzen et.al and lngvild Berg Matniussen et. al 2011) through three phase flow loop testing. Further the other independent studies by various authors3-7 suggests that the pressure drop through nozzle depends on aspect ratio (ratio of nozzle throat length to the throat diameter), throat Reynolds number, Beta β ratio and nozzle entry shape (Sharp edged entry, smooth entry etc.).The smooth fluid entry nozzles such as long radius nozzle, venturi nozzle, smooth entry orifice etc. has high discharge coefficient as compared to sharp edged entry nozzle / orifice which minimizes the pressure drop through nozzles of ICD completions and maximizes the FBHP. Also the variation of discharge coefficient versus Reynolds number for smooth entry nozzle is low under applicable range of Reynolds number in ICD completion. Moreover the nozzle exit section design plays an important role in pressure recovery as lost during the flow through nozzle throat. The better pressure recovery increases the pressure downstream of the nozzle and thereby increases the FBHP of the well. In addition the proper design of nozzle entry and exit minimizes the erosion of nozzle and ensures long term performance of K’D completion.

The properly designed venturi nozzle based ICD module is selected for the Smart Multilateral “Well A” and “Well B” of Minagish Burgan reservoir.

The smaller nozzle sizes (1.6 mm and 2.5 mm) were selected to achieve adequate choking of water phase upon breakthrough. Further the variable nozzle housing for ICD module were selected to place required number of nozzles in each compartment based upon the reservoir fluid flow dynamics inside reservoir along with variation in

permeability and water mobility across horizontal production section of the wellbore to meet the objectives of ICD completion.

The flow rate versus pressure drop characteristics by considering oil viscosity, water viscosity, oil density and water density at reservoir conditions of Burgan reservoir were analyzed based on the supplier’s provided discharge coefficient at various Reynolds number and the discharge coefficient obtained by independent experiment performed by8 (Jitschineet.al 2004) and as mentioned in figure 7. The flow rate versus pressure drop characteristics for 1.6mm venturi nozzle is shown in figure 8. The graph shown in figure 8, clearly demonstrate that for flow rate more than 45-50 Bbls/day (Reynolds number > 1 700) from a single 1.6mm nozzle provides more pressure drop on water phase as compared to oil phase.

Similarly a single 2.5 mm nozzle provides more pressure drop on water phase as compared to oil phase for the flow rate of more than 60 - 70 Bbls/ day with the corresponding Reynolds number of more than 1600. Thus in order to have a phase filtering capability to choke back water production the flow characteristics of nozzles for both oil phase and water phase are considered for ICD completion design.

Also the effect of downhole emulsion on viscosity (figure 9) is analyzed for selected ICD completion and found that for any water cut the pressure drop on emulsion phase is more than 40cp oil phase pressure drop, indicating choking of emulsion fluid at particular section of ICD completion.

The downhole emulsion viscosity and the nozzle flow characteristics are presented in figure 10.

ICD Completion Design: Appropriate ICD completion design is the main key factor for successful ICD completion performance over entire production life of wells. The ICD completion design for smart

multilateral “Well A” and “Well B” of Burgan reservoir was performed by considering the objectives of ICD completion as well as the flow characteristics of nozzles (figure 8). In order to achieve the appropriate design for ICD completion, the adequate reservoir characterization” was made by acquiring permeability from Stonley waves and from log porosity permeability correlation calibrated with core data. Further the appropriate reservoir segmentation to achieve effective zonal isolation utilizing isolation packers is identified as critical factor to minimize annular flow, address premature water breakthrough and minimize water production. The effective well bore segmentation along well trajectory was conducted by plotting the permeability profile, porosity profile, water saturation profile, reservoir pressure profile, reservoir fluid properties, geological settings of reservoir including faults and fractures interpreted from 3D high resolution Seismic as well as image logs recorded during drilling and geosteering. A wellbore segmentation example for main mother bore of “Well A” is shown in figure 11. In addition the near wellbore fluid flow modeling from reservoir to wellbore is conducted by considering required reservoir data, geological data and ICD completion specification to obtain the best fit nozzle sizes to meet the objectives of ICD completion. A well defined workflow for ICD completion design was developed and is shown in figure 12. The results of ICD completion design for mother bore of smart multilateral “Well A” is detailed in figure 13. Also the well trajectory during drilling was optimized by applying real time advanced geosteering technology to avoid high water saturation regions, minimize the exposure of faults / fractures, which could be the potential source for accelerated water breakthrough.

The ICD completion design results

indicated in figure 13 are elaborated as follows: •

The obtained Reynolds number from ICD design is greater than 2000 for almost all well bore segments, which more than the threshold Reynolds number i.e.

1700 for 1.6 mm nozzle and 1600 for 2.5 mm nozzle.

•

The maximization of Reynolds number confirms the phase filtering capability of ICD to restrict water production upon water breakthrough.

•

The annular velocity is almost zero indicating the adequate well bore compartments.

•

The oil flux (STB/Day) is almost equalized across sand face indicating inflow equalization to achieve uniform depletion across sand face.

April 2013, Cairo, Egypt - On Hannover Messe2013, Atlas Copco surprised the market with a new, very compact oil-injected rotary screw compressor from 7 to 37 kW: the 7 - 37 GA VSD+ offers a leap forward in Free Air Delivery (improvements of up to 12%), and a breakthrough energy-efficiency: it requires on average 50% less energy than a comparable idling compressor. This new type of compressor offering a variable speed (frequency-controlled),will be suitable for most industries and aims to contribute significantly to the green economy needs.

Atlas Copco translated the most requested needs of its customers in this new type of compressor: better performances, with less energy consumed, & low noise levels. With the GA VSD+, a variable speed drive compressor achieves better performances even at full load than a comparable idling compressor. This innovation will enable all compressor users to switch over to variable speed drive compressors, an important step towards a more sustainable industry.

KoenLauwers, Vice-President Marketing from the Industrial Air Division comments: “In 1994, Atlas

Copco pioneered the Variable Speed Drive compressor and now we have launched an innovation that will once again set the benchmark in the compressor industry. The GA VSD+ has been completely in-house developed and brings together all our expertise and know-how about energyefficient compressor technology”.

Small compressor, big ideas Atlas Copco evaluated every part in thiscompressor: a more efficient fan, robust air intake system, eliminating all blow-off losses, and the best electronic components together with the new drive train add up to energy savings of 50% on average compared to a traditional idlingcompressor of the same type. The new GA VSD+ is another 15% more efficient than Atlas Copco’s current Variable Speed Drive compressor (the GA 737- VSD). A full feature version with an integrated dryer is available as option.

Several key components like the drive train as well as for the general design of the GA VSD+, are protected

by Atlas Copco, with many patents on their way.

Available as from today Atlas Copco also adapted its

production environment to the future: the GA VSD+ is currently built in Antwerp, Belgium, on a production line that is more efficient, more standardized and that takes less space.

Atlas Copco celebrates 140 years of industry innovation Cairo, Egypt, February 21, 2013: Atlas Copco, recognized as one of the world’s most innovative and sustainable companies, today celebrates 140 years of industrial excellence with a range of activities in the more than 90 countries where it has its own operations.

Atlas Copco, which today celebrates 140 years as a leading industrial company, Its presence in Egypt goes back to the early fifties. Now Atlas Copco Equipment Egypt, Atlas Copco Levant, and Atlas Copco Iraq are the direct sales and service operations, responsible to sell, rent, and service reliable and efficient solutions to our customers in Egypt, Libya, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq. The young customer centers, with the regional staff are committed to keep our customers over-satisfied with our products and services. The staff is motivated and strives daily to apply the group values, and deliver innovative solutions to our growing list of satisfied customers. The family culture and the entrepreneurial spirit are aligned with the group culture and beliefs, and form the key local ingredients of our success in delivering sustainable profitable growth in this challenging region.

“Celebrating 140 years is a fantastic opportunity to strengthen customer focus and relations further, to translate our values into daily activities, and to capture synergies,” [said John Vanezos, Regional General Manager of Atlas Copco Equipment Egypt ] “It is a great occasion to create pride among employees and to make them enthusiastic about future opportunities. Our history guarantees long-term industrial experience as well as innovative products and solutions to current and new customers, to suppliers as well as to current and future employees.”

Also marking the 140-years since the company’s 1873 foundation, Atlas Copco’s President and CEO Ronnie Leten today is ringing the opening bell at the NASDAQ stock exchange in New York, U.S. The shares of Atlas Copco, the biggest industrial company by market capitalization in Europe’s Nordic region, are listed on NASDAQ OMX in Stockholm, Sweden, where the company is based.

Other events around the world today include the inauguration of a new compressor manufacturing plant near Pune, India, a donation of KUSD 60 (KSEK 390) to safe drinking water projects from Atlas Copco’s Water for All organization in the US, and several customer events in Australia.

A podcast with an exciting audio history of this industrial icon is available for download on atlascopco.com/history.

On the history section there is also a new e-book describing some of Atlas Copco’s many achievements during the past 140 years.

Atlas Copco develops and supplies machinery such as rock drills, power tools, construction equipment and compressors to customers in industries spanning from automotive, mining and road construction to aerospace, food and beverages, and pharmaceuticals.

Last month, Atlas Copco earned a spot on the Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the world list, the most prestigious corporate sustainability

ranking. The Global 100 recognized Atlas Copco for its commitment to sustainable productivity and its work and achievements of doing more with less: For instance, the development of new innovative, highly energy-efficient products that save customers money and benefit the environment at the same time.

Atlas Copco’s long history is filled with cutting-edge product innovations.

Highlights include introducing the first light rock drills in 1905, manufacturing the first portable air compressor that same year, introducing the world´s first serial-produced hydraulic breakers in 1966, and launching new error-proof and low-energy tightening tools.

The landmark projects that Atlas Copco has been involved in are almost too numerous to mention. One is helping to build the Mont Blanc Tunnel across the France-Italian border, then the world’s longest highway tunnel, in the 1950s and 1960s. In the 1980s Atlas Copco got a dinosaur species named after it – Atlascopcosaurus Lourdsi – in appreciation of the equipment and assistance, the company provided that helped unearth the skeleton in Australia.

Atlas Copco has steadily expanded its global presence. It’s established own operations for example in Kenya 1936, in the United States 1950 and in India 1960, and last year added seven countries including Senegal and Tanzania. Atlas Copco now operates in more than 170 countries.
