M+F delivers 18 Metering Skids with KROHNE Coriolis Flow Meters at Misr Petroleum In 2015, Misr Petroleum took the decision to establish new Petroleum depot. Together with Petrojet as the main EPC, they started to design the new terminal for 18 skids in Badr City, based on state-of-the-art technologies, replacing old flow measuring technology Positive Displacement with Coriolis Mass Flow measurement, implementing advanced flow computers, and complete terminal automation. After having many companies bidding, M+F Technologies GmbH was awarded this project in February 2016. M+F is a German based solution provider specialized in offering complete systems for loading stations and metering systems. They have more than 30 years of experience delivering loading solutions all over the world and more than 15,000 installation of its flow computer MFX_4. At the core of any metering system is the flow meter. M+F chose the Coriolis Mass flow meter OPTIMASS 6400 from KROHNE Messtechnik GmbH because KROHNE has tr emendous experience in manufacturing Coriolis flow meters since the 80s, one of the very few companies that can meet the challenging requirement of liquid flow accuracy (±0.05% of measured value) and repeatability, and with competitive price.
Through international cooperation between M+F and KROHNE, IAC (M+F representative in Egypt) and RMS Engineering (KROHNE r epr esentative in Egypt), a special tailored system was developed. The 18 skids were constructed in Hamburg, Germany. Factory acceptance test was held on July 2017 testing the system under different non-ideal situations. Overall uncertainty of the system was even better than the requested uncertanity in Misr Petroleum tender. The 18 metering systems are currently installed at Misr Petroleum new terminal in Badr. Petrojet is finishing other site construction and it is expected that terminals will be into operation by mid of 2017.

Tubing Coating Sucker-rod wear on production tubing has been an industry issue for decades, resulting in the need for costly workovers. Grit and sand exacerbate the problem, along with corrosives such as hydrogen sulfate, methane, and carbon dioxide. Diamond Scientific was asked by United Casing to develop a product to extend the life of the tubing at wear points. A 5-year research and development project resulted in the ACR-T16 coating. While the primary concern is abrasion of the tubing, a variety of tests were performed by independent laboratories to ensure the corrosion A Taber abrasion machine, used to test Diamond Scientific’s ACR-T16 tubing coating. stability of the coating. Autoclave tests for corrosion in various atmospheres, pressures, and temperature variations were conducted, resulting in excellent adhesion and no coating loss or blisters in aqueous, hydrocarbon, or liquid phases. Wear-resistance tests determined that the coating demonstrated an increased resistance of more than an 1,100% improvement over J55 steel. Currently, 150,000 ft of production tubing has been coated at wear points in multiple wells. The coated tubing has been in service for 21 months without need for any workover. Before running the coated tubing, these wells required a workover every 6 months. Ó For additional information, visit www.unitedcasing.com.
Neutral-Wettability Proppant Baker Hughes’ NeutraProp neutral¬wettability proppant is a surface¬modified material that enables fluids to flow freely through the pore spaces in a proppant pack. It is neither oil-wet nor water-wet, and it can be applied to various substrates from lightweight ceramic to high-strength proppant. The proppant reduces pressure drop in multi¬phase flow and eliminates the buildup of fluid residues, letting more hydrocarbons Baker Hughes’ NeutraProp neutral-wettability proppant. Top image shows unmodified ceramic proppantbottom image shows NeutraPropproppant. flow out of the reservoir at higher rates for longer periods of time. The solution also improves cleanup by reducing capillary pressure and accelerates the time to first oil while reducing nonproductive time. An operator working in deep-water Gulf of Mexico needed a frac pack to complete a new well to enable production quickly. The well had very low bottom hole pressure, low reservoir energy, and no gas lift. The Neutra¬Prop was selected and applied, and all of the flowback fluids were recovered in approximately 14 hours. This represents a 43% reduction in rig time compared with an average of 24.5 hours on three previous wells in which conventional proppant was used. The operator eliminated 10 hours of rig time and saved more than USD 438,000 by using the proppant. Ó For additional information, visit www.bakerhughes.com.

Electrical-Submersible-Pump System Baker Hughes introduced the CENtrilift PASS slimline electrical-¬submersible-pump (ESP) system, designed to help operators optimize production and reserves recovery while lowering lifting costs in small-diameter wellbores or wells with restricted space owing to casing patches or complex completion designs. The system incorporates an extended-range pump that operates at flow rates from 2,500 to 50 B/D, mitigating the need to change out pumping systems as production rates decline. The pump’s optimized flow path also improves ESP system reliability by preventing solids buildup and abrasive wear in the pump. The system manages gas entrained in the production stream or gas slugs that break out of the reservoir. When the ESP is deployed in a horizontal or deviated orientation, gravity cups shift to block the pump-inlet ports on the high side of the intake where the gas accumulates, preventing the gas from entering the pump and venting it into the annulus. When the ESP is installed in a vertical orientation, the production stream bypasses the gravity cups and mechanical vortex gas-separation technology diverts gas away from the pump and into the annulus. For applications that only require mechanical gas separation, the system includes a vortex gas separator. Ó For additional information, visit www.bakerhughes.com.

Objective/scope: Breakthrough technologies for down-hole capture of radium-226 or hydrogen sulfide contaminants in fracking operations have been developed, and are presented here. These technologies could enable significant reduction in topside waste concentrations, and therefore simplify waste management operations and reduce expenses in fracking operations. These novel technologies still possess desirable primary functions of proppants such as flow back control and conductivity. Methods, procedures, process: Multifunctional coatings supported by a variety of urethane chemistries were designed for down-hole capture of Ra-226 or H2S while preserving primary proppant functionality. Polymer coatings were applied to 2040/ or 2030-/mesh Northern White sand proppants. Coated proppants with Radium-capturing abilities were exposed to simulated brine spiked with Ra-226 in batch mode. Ra-226 was analyzed in the brine before and after treatment using liquid scintillation counting and in the solids using Gamma-ray spectrometry. The H2S-capturing proppants were exposed to water/ tetradecane spiked with H2S, and H2S was analyzed in the headspace of the vessel containing proppant solution via gas chromatography. Results, observation, and conclusions: In batch experiments, multifunctional resin coated proppant with Radium-capturing abilities (slurried at 20 - 33 wt% in brine) showed 2350 - 24000 pCi Ra-226 capture from synthetic brine /lb proppant used (water containing 5.0 wt% NaCl, 2.6 wt% CaCl2 and/or 0.07 wt % BaCl2 .2H2O). The capture was dependent upon: concentration of salts in brine, initial concentration of Ra-226 (2500 - 35000 pCi/L), brine temperature (7090- °C), and duration of exposure (1h 1week). Radium capture was not affected by Na+ and Ca2+

concentration in the brine, but was significantly affected by Ba2+ concentration. Furthermore, other proppants were also designed to deliver only contaminantcapturing abilities. In this case, and under same experimental conditions, we observed up to 22000 pCi Radium capture/ lb proppant. This more economical approach can be used to impart only waste capturing functionality to proppants. Experiments in water at 70°C for 1 hour of exposure with multifunctional resin coated proppants for H2S capture showed 66 - 100% capture (initial [H2S] in liquid at equilibrium = 100 ppm, experimental capacity demonstrated ~1.1E-03 lb S removed/ lb proppant used). Analogous H2S capture experiments in tetradecane solvent (simulated hydrocarbon) showed a slower rate of capture. Please explain how this paper will present novel (new) or additive information to the existing body of literatures that can be of benefit to a practicing engineer Presented multifunctional proppants can enable simplification of topside waste water treatment, enable waste water reusability, mitigate pipeline corrosion, and limit worker exposure by keeping key contaminants down-hole (Ra 226 or H2S) in the fractures. This is the first demonstration of truly multifunctional resin coated proppants that successfully capture waste from synthetic brine.
Introduction
Upon drilling of a well bore for oil and gas recovery, a commonly used technique to enhance production in unconventional wells is to introduce fracturing fluid into the well bore in order to crack open subterranean formations using fluid pressure.1,2 An unconventional well is one that that is drilled into an unconventional formation, which is defined as a geologic shale formation where natural gas generally cannot be produced except by horizontal or vertical well bores stimulated by hydraulic fracturing.3 Drilling and
hydraulic fracturing of a typical unconventional well requires 4 - 6 million gallons of fracturing fluid, which comprises water (90 - 95%), solid proppant (5 - 10%) and chemical additives (< 1%) to ensure good flow during production. Examples of chemical additives used in fracturing fluid are scale inhibitors, wax inhibitors, biocides, oxygen scavengers and friction reducers. Generally, 1040%- of the drilling fluid is recovered during the initial period (7 - 14 days) of production and is referred to as flowback water. Once the well is in production, it will typically continue to produce some amount of water that is called produced water. As can be expected, there is a wide variability in the composition of flowback and produced water, and this makes wastewater management challenging. Wastewater management with respect to naturally occurring Radium Wastewater management is crucial to successfully and sustainably operate wells, and is essential to prevent contamination of surface and ground water. Wastewater disposal by underground injection is the leading management approach that accounts for more than 95% of oil and gasassociated wastewater in the US.4 Underground injection is regulated by the Underground Injection Control (UIC) program, which requires that wastewater from oil and gas production be disposed in Class II injection wells.5 Prior to 2010, majority of the wastewater was sent to municipal or industrial plants for treatment and discharge. These plants were not equipped to handle the waste from oil and gas wells, which resulted in a high Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) load, especially in Pennsylvania.4,6 The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP) effectively banned discharge of wastewater in 2011 which meant that underground injection for hydraulic fracturing became the main wastewater management option. Since Pennsylvaniaâ&#x20AC;şs geology does not lend itself to underground injection, only six injection wells exist in the state on contrast to 177 in Ohio and approximately 50,000 in Texas.7 Therefore, most of the PA wastewater needs to be transported to Ohio for disposal in Class II injection wells, which increases the disposal costs substantially. The Marcellus Shale is the largest shale gas resource in the United States.4 The Marcellus formation consists of a considerable portion of black shale, which contains high uranium and thorium levels when compared to other sedimentary formations.8 This results in significant 226Ra and 228Ra levels (decay products from uranium and thorium isotopes) in the flowback water.8 Radium is particularly problematic because, unlike uranium, Ra2+ is soluble in water and is usually present as RaCl2 in flowback water. The halflife of 226Ra and 228Ra are 1600 and 5.75 years, respectively, and 226Ra is the dominant naturally occurring radioactive
material (NORM). While 226Ra decays via alpha decay to Radon gas, 228Ra decays via beta decay to Actinium-228.9 In addition to the problem of ground and surface water contamination, radium exposure to workers in the oil and gas industry can occur by inhalation of radon gas.10,11 Figure 1 depicts a general overview of the wastewater management process in Pennsylvania, especially with respect to radium. The wastewater, which has high total dissolved solids content (TDS > 100,000 ppm), is transported to treatment facilities for reduction in TDS levels via precipitation technologies. The sludge is separated and disposed in specialized landfills. Distillation of the treated water results in a concentrate with up to 25% of TDS and a distilled water product. The concentrate is transported is typically West Virginia or Ohio for disposal in underground wells because, as mentioned before, Pennsylvania as very view underground injection wells. A second important management strategy for wastewater disposal is reuse of flowback water for subsequent hydraulic fracturing jobs. Flowback water is stored in centralized impoundments or storage tanks in order to be reused in a flexible manner. Reusing wastewater is associated with several challenges â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1) high ion concentrations can result in sulfate, carbonate and iron-based scales which impede oil and gas flow, 2) anaerobic bacteria can cause biological fouling, and 3) variations in salinity can compromise formation structure by clay shrinking or swelling.4 In addition, there are logistical issues relating to the timing and transport of water generated at one well to another. Finally, recycling tends to be feasible only when the number of new wells being constructed exceeds those in production. A recent report investigated the fate of 226Ra in three storage impoundments over a 2.5 year period in southwestern Pennsylvania.11 The study revealed that 226Ra increased over this period by 44% when the wastewater in the impoundment was not treated for radium. Furthermore, 226Ra tended to accumulate in the bottom sludge in sufficient levels that required the sludge to be classified as radioactive waste. Radium that is concentrated in this way is referred to as Technologically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Materials (TENORM).12 In 2015, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP) published a report on TENORM associated with oil and gas operation in Pennsylvania.13 Thirty eight well sites were sampled during the period June 2013 to July 2014, including thirty four unconventional wells. The median 226Ra level in the flowback water generated from these wells was found to be 4550 pCi/L. In general, majority of the radiation is from 226Ra with the exception of produced water from conventional wells. About 12 and 9% of the radiation is from 228Ra in flowback water and

fracturing fluid, respectively. The oil and gas industry is therefore being challenged to develop cost-effective radium removal technologies in order to continue fracturing operations in unconventional wells. To date, all technologies for radium removal take place topside and produce radioactive waste that need to be disposed according the regulatory requirement outlines in Table 1. These technologies are summarized in Table 2 and were compiled from data between 1982 and 1995.14 Based on the ranges of waste concentration, underground injection or reuse may be the only options for the liquid waste. Currently, technologies that enable treatment of radium downhole thereby either eliminating radium concentration topside or minimizing radium topside are unheard of. A breakthrough technology enabling capture of radium contaminants downhole can enable significant reduction in topside waste concentrations and therefore simplify waste management operations and reduce expenses in fracking operations. In addition, the technology can enable waste water reusability, as well as limit worker exposure by keeping key contaminants down-hole (Ra 226) in the fractures.
One solution to controlling H2S levels is to use biocides to kill bacteria. This approach will only affect H2S produced by biogenic pathways. The hydrolytic and thermal stability of biocides and their ability to be placed and kept downhole are important to the effectiveness of this approach. Most biocides are severe eye and skin irritants and thus pose an occupational safety hazard.18 A second way to mitigate H2S corrosion is the use of engineering controls such as protective coatings and H2S removal equipment. Chemical treatment of oil and gas topside is another approach to H2S removal although this approach will not protect well casings. A breakthrough technology enabling capture of H2S downhole can mitigate pipeline corrosion and limit worker exposure by keeping key contaminants down-hole (H2S) in the fractures thereby simplifying waste management operations and reducing expenses in fracking operations.
Concept of multifunctional proppants
H2S opportunity
Another problem encountered during production is souring, which refers to an increasing mass of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) per unit mass of total production fluid. Generally speaking, upto less than 3 ppmv of H2S in the liquid phase is considered benign. Well operations and associated processing equipment needs to be maintained within NACE standards to ensure that the partial H2S pressure does not exceed 0.05 psia.15 If H2S levels cannot be maintained within the NACE limit, the well and process equipment may have to be closed out for tubing and wellhead replacement or upgrades. In addition to production loss, these operations can be very expensive. Failure to remove H2S from flowback water and oil can lead to corrosion of casings (sulfide-stress corrosion cracking), mechanical failure, fluid leakage and environmental contamination. Other corrosion mechanisms such as, hydrogen embrittlement (HE), hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC) and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) are also known.15,16 Other than corrosion, H2S in oil and flowback water presents an occupational safety problem, and can react with soluble iron to form iron sulfide scales.17 Hydrogen sulfide in oil wells can result from biogenic or non-biogenic sources. Biogenic H2S results from microbial contamination by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) which convert sulfate to H2S in the absence of O2. There are four important non-biogenic pathways that produce H2S in oilfield15 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; (1) thermochemical sulfate reduction, (2)

decomposition of organic sulfur compounds, (3) dissolution of pyritic material and (4) redox reactions involving bisulfite oxygen scavengers. Factors that affect the rate of H2S generation include the nature of the formation (pyrite/ siderite balance), well temperatures and pressure.

Currently resin coated proppants are desirable in hydraulic fracturing of low permeability reservoirs because they can impart a degree of adhesion between particles under proppant which in turn prevents the proppant from being flushed out of the well, a process commonly referred to as flowback. Flowback is undesirable because they lead to closure of the crack and damage to equipment used in the fracturing process. Hence resin coated proppants are typically used in the tail end of the fracture to allow for flowback control (FC). Resin coated proppants can also improve the ability of proppants to withstand closure stresses and can contain/ mitigate fines (fines mitigation or FM) generated from cracking of the proppant substrate thereby resulting in enhancement of conductivity of oil and gas. Known resins used to coat proppants include phenolic resins, furan-based resins, epoxies and polyurethane thermosets. Polyurethane (PU)-based chemistries have a number of advantages over other chemistries such as fast reaction rates, ability to cure at lower temperatures and the lack of need of specialized equipment. The level of resin in polyurethane-coated proppants is typically between 0.5 - 4.0 wt % of the substrate depending on the substrate or the application. In this paper we introduce the concept of adding new functionalities to the resin coated proppants while preserving the primary functionality of the proppants (flowback control, FC or fines mitigation, FM) that can potentially enable (as shown in Figure 2)1. Simplification of the upstream processes
2. Simplify or potential eliminate the need for topside treatment For example, radium present in the flowback water can contaminate the equipment and result in generation of radioactive waste topside that needs to be treated or concentrated (see Figure 2) before disposal via underground injection or specialized landfills. The H2S gas produced downhole can corrode the pipelines and cause extensive equipment damage. This paper describes the preparation and scavenging ability of multi-functional resin coated proppants for Radium removal and H2S capture. In batch experiments, multifunctional resin coated proppants with Radium-capturing abilities (proppant slurried at 20 - 33 wt% in brine) showed 2350 - 24000 pCi Ra-226 capture from synthetic brine /lb proppant used (water containing 5.0 wt% NaCl, 2.6 wt% CaCl2 and/or 0.07 wt% BaCl2 .2H2O spiked with Ra-226). The capture was found to be dependent upon: concentration of salts in brine, initial concentration of Ra-226 (2500 - 35000 pCi/L), brine temperature (7090- °C), and duration of exposure (1h - 1week). Furthermore, proppants were also designed to deliver only Radium contaminant-capturing abilities. In this case, and under same experimental conditions, we observed up to 22000 pCi Radium capture/ lb proppant used. This more economical approach can be used to impart only waste capturing functionality to proppants. This is the first demonstration of truly multifunctional resin coated proppants that successfully capture radium waste from synthetic brine. In batch experiments, multifunctional resin coated proppants for H2S capture (20% proppant slurried in water) showed 66 - 100% capture from water containing 100 ppm [H2S] (initial concentration in liquid phase at equilibrium, experimental capacity demonstrated ~1.1E03 lb S removed/lb proppant used) at 70°C after 1 hour of exposure. Analogous H2S capture experiments in tetradecane solvent (simulated hydrocarbon) showed a slower rate of capture.
Methods Method A for experimental measurement of radium capture
The following procedure was used for R1. Proppant samples were treated with a synthetic brine solution consisting of 5% sodium chloride, 2.6% calcium chloride, 0.07% barium chloride and 1043 pCi/sample of 226Ra. The granular material was suspended in the synthetic brine solutions using a 7 day leach period at 90° C. The brine solution (160 g, 6520 pCi/L) was added to 40 g of the solid granular media in a 500 ml amber glass container. The container was placed in an oven to maintain the temperature at 90°C with occasional agitation through each 24 hour period for a total of 7 days. At

the end of the mixing period the solid and liquid phases were separated by pressure filtration. Resulting solid and liquid phases were then analyzed for radium 226 activity by high purity gamma spectrometry. The proppant samples were screened prior to testing to determine if any native 226Ra was present as naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM). No activity was detected above the background. The following procedure was used for R3. Two test solutions containing certified amounts of 226Ra traceable to the National Institutes of Standards and Technologies (NIST). Standard number 0299-H containing 2467 dpm/mL of Ra226 was aliquoted with 1.2 mL to yield a test solution of 1333 pCi/sample. A second higher activity standard was created using 2.5 mL of the same standard yielding a known activity of 2778 pCi/sample. These two standards were added to separate synthetic brine solutions containing 2.6% calcium chloride and 5% sodium chloride. 250 grams of the solid media was added to a one liter amber glass container with 500 mL of the liquid standard solution; this would yield approximately 2700 and 5560 pCi/L radium solutions depending on which standard were used. The container was placed in an oven to maintain the temperature at 70 °C with occasional agitation over a 24 hour period. At the end of the mixing period the solid and liquid phases were separated by vacuum filtration using a 0.45 micron filter. Resulting solid and liquid phases were then analyzed for radium 226 activity by high purity gamma spectrometry.
Method B for experimental measurement of radium capture
The following procedure was used for R2, C1, and R4. Proppant samples were treated with a synthetic brine solution consisting of 5% sodium chloride, 2.6% calcium chloride, 0.07% barium chloride spiked with 226Ra (35 nCi/L). Proppant (90 g) was combined with brine (360 g) in a 1 L glass container. The container was placed in an oven to maintain the temperature at 90°C with occasional agitation periodically. The solid and liquid phases were separated by filtration through a fritted column under gravity and the radium concentrations were measured by high purity germanium gamma spectroscopy. Resulting solid and liquid phases were then analyzed for radium 226 activity by high purity gamma spectrometry.
Method for experimental measurement of H2S capture
Each sand sample (2.0 g coated or uncoated sands) was weighed into a 22-mL headspace GC vial with a stir bar. Deionized water (10 mL) or tetradecane (10 mL) was then added into each vial and sealed with a PTFE lined silicon
crimp cap. Hydrogen sulfide gas (1.5 mL, STP equivalent to 2.28 mg) was injected into the headspace of each vial. The vials were then heated at 70 °C for testing with water and heated at 110°C for testing with tetradecane in an aluminum heating block on top of a stirring hot plate for 1 h, after which the vials were cooled and the H2S concentrations in the headspace of the vials were analyzed by headspace gas chromatography. Two samples were tested for each experiment to ensure repeatability.
Results and Discussion Evaluation of Multifunctional Proppant for Radium capture
Table 3 outlines the results from testing of different multifunctional proppant samples. Samples R1, R2 and C1 were designed with a primary function of fines mitigation (FM) and medium temperature/pressure wells and contained 2% of polyurethane where R1 and R2 contained actives for capturing radium and C1 served as control. Sample R3 contained 3% resin and was designed for flowback control (FC) in addition to radium capture. Sample R4 contained 0.5% resin and was designed for the sole purpose of radium capture with minimal flowback control functionality. Radionuclide capture testing was performed using 20% by cweight of the proppants at 90 °C for entry R1, R2, C1 and R4. The samples were periodically agitated every 812- h. The solid and liquid phases were separated by filtration through a fritted column under gravity and the radium concentrations were measured by high purity germanium gamma spectroscopy. Sample entries R1 and R2 showed capture of about 235024000- pCi/ lb proppant in the presence of BaCl2 depending on initial radium concentration. The control sample prepared without active for capturing radium showed capture of about ~4100 pCi/lb proppant in the presence of BaCl2 (when starting Ra concentration was 35000 pCi/L), which can be attributed to adsorption/absorption of radium in the coating. The sample R3 prepared for flowback control primary functionality showed 7700 pCi/lb proppant capture (at low initial radium concentration 5560 pCi/L) in the absence of BaCl2. The sample R4 prepared for the sole intention of contaminant removal demonstrated 22050 pCi/lb proppant capture from the synthetic brine containing BaCl2. Radium capture was not affected by Na+ and Ca2+ concentration in the brine. High levels of radium capture in the absence of Ba2+ ions (entry R3 vs other samples) indicate strong influence of Ba2+ ions on the Radium capture. The effect of other ions including Sr2+on radium capture was not investigated in this study but is expected to influence radium capture by proppants as well. Kinetic studies for radium measurement performed on one sample in batch experiment indicated that equilibrium was reached within
the first 4 hours of exposure to synthetic brine spiked with Radium. This observation implies that all data presented here refers to equilibrium radium concentration. Radium concentration measured in the supernatant liquid and solid proppant obtained after separation for a particular sample usually added up to 100% indicating good radium balance. The results presented here demonstrate that multifunctional proppants have an experimental capacity of 235024000pCi Ra/lb proppant from well waters downhole depending on initial concentration of Ra-226 in the well water, the chemistry of the well waters (concentration of Ba2+, Sr2+ ions), and brine temperature (7090- °C). This technology has the potential to mitigate/ eliminate radium seen topside thereby simplifying topside treatment of radium. Evaluation of Multifunctional Proppant for H2S capture Eight samples were prepared and evaluated for H2S capture at 70 °C in water and hydrocarbon (Table 4). The effect of coated proppant type (flowback control, FC or fines mitigation, FM), active concentration in the coating, and type of active was investigated. Control polyurethane coated proppants designed for the sole purpose of providing primary functionality showed 17 - 19% H2S capture (0.180.21-E-03 lb S removed/lb proppant used) in water and 6% capture (0.06E-03 lb S removed/lb proppant used) in tetradecane (entries C2 and C3). This may be attributed to physical adsorption/absorption of H2S or inherent solubility of H2S in the polymer. Under these conditions, raw sand captured 20% H2S. Coated proppant for fines mitigation application captured 66% H2S from aqueous phase (entry HS1), where the coating was designed to theoretically capture 2E-03 lb S /lb proppant and about 0.7E-03 lb S capture/lb proppant was observed. Proppant samples corresponding to entries HS25- are intended for low temperature / flowback control applications. Increasing the loading of active agent in the coating resulted in increase in H2S capture in 1 h (88 vs 100%, entries HS2 and HS3). The experimental capacity corresponding to entry HS3 was 0.95E-03 lb S /lb proppant which is 47.5% of the theoretical capacity. In contrast, the experimental capacity corresponding to entry HS2 was >1.08E-03 lb S /lb proppant which is >27% of the theoretical capacity. This observation indicated that the proppant may not be fully saturated and has the capacity to capture more H2S until saturation is attained. Difference in surface modification of the actives had an effect on capture: entry HS4 showed 11% less capture than entry HS3 in 1 h. This observation suggests that surface modification of the active can be used to enhance the rate of H2S capture. Experiments conducted in tetradecane showed a similar trend across coated proppants although the rate of capture was slower. The results presented here demonstrate that multifunctional proppants designed for H2S capture can theoretically be

designed to capture anywhere from 2-~10E-03 lb S /lb proppant depending on the concentration of the active in the coating. On investigation of coated proppants designed with theoretical H2S removal capacity of 24- E-03 lb S /lb proppant, within 1 hour of capture the maximum experimental capacity of H2S capture was observed to be ~50% (experimental capture of 1E-03 lb S /lb proppant) indicating dependence of capture on type of active/ surface modification of active, coating permeability (HS1 vs HS3), temperature of brine, type of media (aqueous or hydrocarbon), and duration of capture.
Conclusions
Wastewater management is, and will continue to be, an important process as long as hydraulic fracturing is used to extract oil and gas from shale basins. Since the shale formations containing black shale are relatively rich in uranium and thorium ores, radium levels are high in flowback and produced waters. In this paper, we have shown that it is possible to use resin coated proppants to capture radium at different temperatures from bulk solutions containing salts at fairly high concentrations. We demonstrated that multifunctional resin coated proppants with Radiumcapturing abilities in batch experiments (proppant slurried at 2033- wt% in brine) showed 2350 - 24000 pCi Ra-226 capture from synthetic brine /lb proppant used. The capture was found to be dependent upon: concentration of salts in brine, initial concentration of Ra-226 (2500 - 35000 pCi/L), brine temperature (7090- °C), and duration of exposure (1h - 1week). Furthermore, proppants were also designed to deliver only Radium contaminant-capturing abilities. In this case, and under same experimental conditions, we observed up to 35% Radium capture. This more economical approach can be used to impart only waste capturing functionality to proppants. This is the first demonstration of truly multifunctional resin coated proppants that successfully capture radium waste from synthetic brine. We also demonstrated that it is possible to use resin coated proppants to capture H2S from water and hydrocarbons. In batch experiments, multifunctional resin coated proppants for H2S capture (20% proppant slurried in water) showed 66 - 100% capture from water containing 100 ppm [H2S] (initial concentration in liquid phase at equilibrium, experimental capacity demonstrated ~1.1E-03 lb S removed/lb proppant used) at 70°C after 1 hour of exposure. Analogous H2S capture experiments in tetradecane solvent (simulated hydrocarbon) showed a slower rate of capture. The multifunctional proppants for H2S capture presented here can be designed to capture upto 2-~10E-03 lb S / lb proppant. These technologies could enable significant reduction in topside waste concentrations, enable waste water reusability,

mitigate pipeline corrosion, and limit worker exposure by keeping key contaminants down-hole (Ra 226 or H2S) in the fractures and therefore simplify waste management operations and reduce expenses in fracking operations. These novel technologies still possess desirable primary functions of proppants such as flow back control and fines mitigation.

Horizontal wells have been applied all over the world because of their high productivity. The well performance of these wells has not been well-defined yet. Therefore, the main objectives of this study are to evaluate the well performance of horizontal wells and compare it to that one of vertical wells.
Using the same drainage areas and similar fluid properties, the well productivity and Inflow Performance Relationship (IPR) for both vertical and horizontal wells are evaluated and compared for steady-state flow of compressible and incompressible fluids. Current models for both types of vertical and horizontal wells are evaluated to stress their strengths and weaknesses. The replacement ratio of horizontal well to vertical well are calculated. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis are performed on common variables to compare and evaluate vertical and horizontal well flow equations
1. Introduction
An inflow performance relationship (IPR) relates the well production rate as a function of the drawdown pressure and gives a comprehensive understanding of what the reservoir can deliver into the well at a specific time [ 1].
Horizontal wells are becoming increasingly popular and economically viable with technological improvements [ 4] and new analytical equations and correlations are constantly being developed in order to fully characterise reservoir performance. A quantitative comparison using various new models and correlations as well as industry standards should be performed in order to determine the model which best describes steady state flow in both horizontal and vertical wells. Moreover, as the difference between the cost and performance of a vertical or horizontal well in the same reservoir will be very different [ 5] well orientation is often a difficult decision faced by many companies. To aid in this, a replacement ratio of horizontal well to vertical well will be calculated. A sensitivity analysis of key fluid and rock properties common to the models will also be examined in order to determine and quantify the dominating factor to the calculation of both horizontal and vertical IPRs. This study investigates steady-state flow in horizontal and vertical wells for compressible flow.
Bendakhlia and Aziz [ 2] (1989) showed that using an IPR developed for a vertical well gave unsatisfactory results for horizontal well flow which should have its own specifically derived IPR.
Single and multi-phased compressible and incompressible fluids in horizontal and vertical steadystate flow are characterised quite differently, as the reservoir behaves differently in each flow regime. Single-phased flow IPRs are characterised using analytical methods for both vertical and horizontal flow [ 6]. These analytic formulae are vital for predicting the productivity of both horizontal and vertical wells and aid the decision making process and development of a reservoir [ 4].
Furui, Zhu and Hill [ 3] (2003) also noted that the drainage pattern and flow geometry of horizontal and vertical wells were different. A horizontal well was more likely to have radial flow near the wellbore and linear flow away from the wellbore while a vertical well was most likely to have radial
Two-phased flow however, is characterised by correlations rather than analytical methods because of complexities which include the treatment of relative permeability [ 7] and composition and phase change which occurs with reservoir depletion, which are not easily modelled [ 8].
The inflow performance of horizontal and vertical wells is characterised by different IPRs.

The IPR of a horizontal gas well is commonly found by adjusting the model used to find the horizontal oil well deliverability as presented in Kamkom and Zhu [11] (2006) where Furui, Zhu and Hill’s model [3] (2003) for gas wells is adjusted to take into account the varying formation volume factor which is a function of pressure and temperature, and the non-Darcy flow effects due to the high velocity flow usually typical of gas wells.
(9) Note that the gas viscosity and the gas compressibility are average values which are taken at average pressure. Akhimiona and Wiggins [19] (2005) analysed the pressure rate performance of horizontal gas wells using a threedimensional finite difference reservoir simulator for various reservoir and wellbore conditions and then fit a curve to the data to obtain an IPR. They found that plotting the data in terms of pressure-squared gave the best coefficient of fit with Equation 10 giving a concave curve

Horizontal Wells with Compressible Fluid Horizontal wells are considered most effective in thin reservoirs as they increase the wellbore contact area with the reservoir, reservoirs with good vertical permeability and those which have water or gas coning problems [20]. The IPR for horizontal wells differ from that of vertical wells with two major differences. Firstly, flow regimes and secondly anisotropy. These added differences make horizontal well performance more difficult to determine analytically.

The gas IPR can be calculated using a pseudo-pressure relationship, m(pwf), or a pressure-squared, (pwf)2 relationship. For consistency, the pressure squared relationship was chosen as this is the form that pressure takes in both our vertical and horizontal analytic models.

Petroleum Production Systems (PPS), a comprehensive petroleum software package is also used to calculate IPRs for comparison. The IPRs calculated by both the models and PPS will be compared using Microsoft Excel, a simple spreadsheet program.
Base Case
Base case simulations and calculations were performed using the default input data values given by the PPS software with all variable used for each case. Base case simulations were run for vertical and horizontal wells in
Vertical Well Base Cases with a Compressible Fluid
Darcy’s analytical solution which models Darcy flow in a gas well and Aronofsky and Jenkins’ [23] (1954) equation which models non-Darcy flow is compared to both Darcy and non-Darcy flow in PPS as shown in Figure 2. Both Darcy’s [21] and Aronofsky and Jenkins’ [23] models require the assumption of an average viscosity for the entirety of the reservoir. Darcy’s equation also requires the assumption of an average compressibility factor, both of which would introduce an element of error into the calculations. In order to calculate the average viscosity, empirical correlations by Carr, Kobayashi and Burrows [24] (1954) were used. The average compressibility factor for the base case gas reservoir was found using an empirical correlation developed by Standing and Katz [26] (1942). Aronofsky and Jenkins’ [23] equation also requires the calculation of the perforations height which was assumed to be half of the reservoir net thickness. On comparison, Darcy’s model in Equation (2) and Aronofsky and Jenkins’ model in Equation (5) are identical except for the non-Darcy flow factor, Dq, contained in Aronofsky and Jenkins’ equation. This is reflected in Figure 2 with both Darcy’s model and Aronofsky and Jenkins’ model giving very similar flow rates, with Aronofsky and Jenkins giving slightly higher flow rates, consistent with its inclusion of the non-Darcy flow factor, Dq. It is also noted in Figure 2 that, the IPRs from the PPS simulator are significantly higher than those calculated using analytical solutions.
Horizontal Well Base Cases with a Compressible Fluid
The horizontal well base case in a gas reservoir is compared and computed using Kamkom and Zhu’s [7] equation, Akhimiona and Wiggins’ [19] equation and the results of the PPS simulator with non-Darcy flow. To calculate an IPR for a horizontal gas well, PPS uses an adjusted Joshi’s equation for a compressible fluid which is given by
50 Petroleum Today

(11) This Equation (also incorporates the non-Darcy flow coefficient, D which takes into account the effects of turbulence. Joshi’s equation for a horizontal gas well was also used in Akhimiona and Wiggins’ [19] equation as it requires the calculation of the absolute open flow (AOF). A comparison of these models is shown in Figure 3, where a great deal of variation in the IPRs calculated can be seen. Differing models give entirely different flow rates, highlighting the inconsistencies of differing models in characterising horizontal gas flow. Figure also shows that the curvature of Akhimiona and Wiggins’ [19] equation is not entirely concave which is typical of all other IPRs but instead, goes from convex at pressures close to initial pressure to concave at AOF. When modelling a horizontal gas well, the turbulence effects can be treated as negligible. This is because as seen in Equation (11), the turbulence effects, Dq, is multiplying by the scaling ratio , reducing the pressure drop from the near-wellbore turbulence [1]. It can also be seen that the flow rate of the horizontal well is far greater than the flow of the vertical well in the base cases gas reservoir. This is generally the case for most reservoirs but there will be a length at which the productivity from a vertical well will meet that of a horizontal well in the base case reservoir.
Evaluation of Key Well, Fluid and Rock Variables
A sensitivity analysis was performed on the key well, fluid and rock properties which are: • horizontal well length, L • Oil viscosity, μ • Formation thickness, h • Formation isotropy,
and
• Skin, s Each variable was changed in certain domain and an IPR calculated in order to study the magnitude of the change on the vertical and horizontal IPR models, with the appropriate base case used as a standard benchmark. The models used in the base case simulation were again employed to calculate IPRs in the sensitivity analysis, changing the variables listed above, over the range shown in Table 1. For comparison, the AOF for each IPR calculated were plotted for each model to better compare the behaviour of the models in the sensitivity analysis. This is a valid way
of comparing different models as the sensitivity analysis has shown that the inherent curvature of each IPR is maintained, independent of the variable that is changed. In this way, the IPR for each model can be summarised in a single plot in either a horizontal or vertical well, making comparison of the models much easier.
Horizontal Well Length in an Gas Well
The horizontal well length was varied from 100 to 3000 ft. Changing the length of the horizontal region of the wellbore only affects flow in horizontal wells. The horizontal wellbore length is varied for each model, with the general trend of an increase in horizontal wellbore length gives an increase in production displayed by all curves. The shape of the IPR was also found to be independent of wellbore length for all fluid types, which is consistent with finding by Akhimiona and Wiggins [19] (2005). Varying the horizontal wellbore length results in different behaviour with different models used characterising horizontal gas flow as seen in Figure 4. Kamkom and Zhu’s [7] equation can be seen to give a linear relationship which can be attributed to the equation seen in Equation (9). Kamkom and Zhu’s [7] equation has wellbore length, L, located on the numerator and so an increase in wellbore length will always correspond to a proportional increase in flow rate. This is contrasted to Akhimiona and Wiggins’ model [19] and PPS which shows a non-linear relationship which has a decreasing AOF until a wellbore length of 500 ft and then an increasing AOF with increasing wellbore length. As an empirical model, Akhimiona and Wiggins’ equation requires the calculation of the AOF, qo,max using an equation which models horizontal gas flow. This is done using Joshi’s equation for horizontal gas flow as given in Equation (11) which is also employed by PPS to calculate a horizontal gas IPR, explaining why both models have similar behaviour. It can be seen in Joshi’s equation for horizontal gas flow that the wellbore length, L, does not have a linear relationship with flow rate, resulting in a non-uniform increase or decrease in the AOF with a regular increase in horizontal wellbore length. When examining results of Akhimiona and Wiggins’ [19] equation in Figure 4, an unusually large increase in AOF when increasing the horizontal wellbore length from 2000 ft to 3000 ft can be clearly noted. Although seemingly large, the value given by Akhimiona and Wiggins is consistent with the value given by Kamkom and Zhu’s equation but is much higher than that calculated by PPS.
Gas Viscosity
Gas viscosity was varied between 0.005 – 0.09 cP. This range
was determined using gas viscosity empirical correlations by Carr, Kobayashi and Burrows [24] (1954). This required the calculation of pseudo-critical and pseudo-reduced temperature and pressures and for ease of calculation, we assume the reservoir pressure and gas gravity was constant. This means that we have a constant pseudo-critical pressure and pseudo-reduced pressure as well as a constant composition. Therefore, the corresponding temperature for each viscosity was found and is given in Table 2. The values in Table 2: were then used to calculate IPRs both horizontal and vertical gas wells. The AOF values for different models used to describe vertical oil flow can be seen in Figure 5. It can be seen that both Aronofsky and Jenkins’ and Darcy’s models for vertical gas flow give the expected exponential relationship with decreasing viscosity but PPS does not. It can be concluded that although the calculated temperatures and pressures correspond to the same viscosities, changing the reservoir temperature does not give the same expected exponential behaviour. This is because back-calculating a change in viscosity to a change in temperature and pressure introduces large amounts of error into the calculation. Figure 5 shows that both Darcy’s and Aronofsky and Jenkins’ [23] models give very similar results. When examining the models, we find that Aronofsky and Jenkins’ equation gives AOF values approximately 50 MSCF/day higher than those calculated by Darcy for viscosity values above the base case viscosity of µ = 0.0241 cP. For viscosities less than µ = 0.0241 cP, Darcy›s flow giving much higher AOF values than Aronofsky and Jenkins› equation. From the results of varying viscosity alone, we are unable to determine whether either Darcy›s equation or Aronofsky and Jenkins› equation is more accurate. The same exponential relationship between viscosity and flow rate is also seen when modelling flow in a horizontal gas well as shown in Figure 6 with the exception of the AOF rates calculated by PPS. This is again due to the error introduced when back-calculating from viscosity to temperature and pressure. Although the same exponential relationship can be seen with both Kamkom and Zhu [11] and Akhimiona and Wiggins› [19] models they give very different AOF rates. The AOF given by Kamkom and Zhu is much higher than those calculated by Akhimiona and Wiggins› equation with the difference increasing at lower viscosities, highlighting the variance in results given by different horizontal models.
Formation Thickness in an Gas Reservoir
For all cases in all fluids, reservoir formation thickness was varied between 50 and 450 ft. An increase in formation thickness increases the pay zone and the area open to flow, corresponding to an increase in IPR and therefore AOF. This hypothesis is

consistent with all results, independent of fluid type. Using Darcy’s equation, Aronofsky and Jenkins’ [23] equations and PPS to calculate vertical gas IPRs gives results as shown in Figure 7. Similar to Darcy’s equation for oil flow, all models used to describe vertical gas flow show a positive linear relationship between formation thickness and the AOF. Note the AOF calculated by Aronofsky and Jenkins is slightly higher than those given by Darcy’s method as they take into account the non-Darcy component of gas flow. The PPS gives higher flow rates with both Darcy and nonDarcy flow than the flow rates calculated using analytical equations. In all cases, the linearly proportional relationship between flow rate and formation thickness in vertical gas flow can be attributed to a linear relationship in the relevant equation. A horizontal well in a gas reservoir does not give the same linearly proportion behaviour with varying formation thickness as seen for a vertical gas well. Instead, as formation thickness increases, flow rate increases in decreasing increments which can be seen by all models when comparing the AOF in Figure 8. The flow rates calculated by Akhimiona and Wiggins’ [19] and PPS plateau at approximately 300 ft, which suggests that after this thickness, an increase in formation thickness does not significantly increase the flow rate or productivity of the well. Although PPS gives consistently higher flow rates than those given by Akhimiona and Wiggins’ equation, they are of the same magnitude with values close enough to each other to make either method preferable to Kamkom and Zhu’s [7] equation for calculating the IPR for horizontal well in a gas reservoir. This is because there is a huge discrepancy in AOF rates calculated between Kamkom and Zhu’s equation and both Akhimiona and Wiggins’ equation and PPS with Kamkom and Zhu giving unrealistically high flow rates. This occurs at all formation thickness but becomes more pronounced as formation thickness increases.
Anisotropy Ratio in a Gas Reservoir
In order to vary the anisotropy ratio, it is assumed that vertical permeability, kV, is constant at the base case value and vary horizontal permeability kH. Although the permeability anisotropy ratio is the same for all fluid types, as permeability varies for a gas reservoir and oil or twophase reservoir two separate tables of permeability cases are required. For gas flow, Table 3 includes anisotropy and permeability values used in gas IPR equation. For a vertical gas well, both Darcy’s and Aronofsky and Jenkins’ equations employ permeability, k, to calculate IPRs This results in a positive linear relationship between both Darcy’s and Aranofsky and Jenkins’ equations and
52 Petroleum Today
- February 2017
anisotropy ratio is evident in Figure 9. Note that in order to vary the anisotropy ratio, the permeability values from Table 3 are used. When comparing Aronofsky and Jenkins’ equation to Darcy’s equation for a vertical gas IPR, it can be seen that both have a similar flow rate with Aronofsky and Jenkins having slightly higher AOF values with a maximum difference of approximately 50 STB/d. This is most likely due to the effect of non-Darcy flow. The results given by PPS for Darcy and non-Darcy flow are non-linear as seen in Figure 9. As previously seen in both the base case and sensitivity analysis, the flow rates calculated by PPS are significantly higher than those calculated using analytical equation. The AOF results of different models for a horizontal gas well can be shown in Figure 10. Again, different models give different flow rates and trends with varying anisotropy ratio. Kamkom and Zhu’s [7] model in Figure 10 is observed to be linear relationship with flow rate, but upon closed inspection and examining Kamkom and Zhu’s equation in Equation (9), a slight difference in flow rate can be seen as the anisotropy ratio changes. A stronger non-linear relationship can be seen by both PPS and Akhimiona and Wiggins’ [19] equation. As seen in Figure , at low anisotropy ratios PPS and Akhimiona and Wiggins’ equation gives similar flow rates but as anisotropy ratio increases, the flow rates diverge. This may be because both PPS and Akhimiona and Wiggins’ equation employ Joshi›s equation for horizontal gas flow in Equation 11 to calculate flow rate. It should also be noted that although all the models describing horizontal gas flow employ anisotropy ratio, they also use another closely related variable in the numerator of the IPR equation. For example, Kamkom and Zhu,s equation uses permeability, k, on the numerator whereas Joshi,s equation for horizontal gas flow which is used both PPS and Akhimiona and Wiggins’ uses horizontal permeability, kH, on the numerator which could also be a factor in the differing flow rates.
Skin in a Gas Reservoir
Skin is a dimensionless number which represents a pressure drop in the near-wellbore region and is usually caused by a distortion of the flow lines or a restriction to flow. One way of distorting the flow-lines is through damage to the reservoir’s natural permeability and therefore the effects of a positive skin can be seen to be similar to the effects of a reduction in permeability. A negative skin however, means that the pressure drop in the near well-bore region is smaller

than normal and improves flow. In this paper, skin is varied for all cases between -7 and +7. The skin effect in a horizontal well, s’eq, is characteristic of the shape of damage in horizontal wells and takes into account the permeability anisotropy and the likelihood of larger damage penetration nearest to the vertical section [1]. The IPR of a vertical gas well with varying skin can be calculated using Darcy’s model Aronofsky and Jenkins’ model and PPS and are the AOF of which are shown in Figure 11. All models show approximately the same behaviour of an increasing flow rate as skin decreases. For positive skin values, Aronofsky and Jenkins’ model giving slightly higher flow rates than Darcy›s model with a maximum difference of approximately 50 MSCF/day. At large negative skin values (s = -7), Darcy’s equation gives 65% higher results. PPS however, gives flow rates which consistently give higher values than both analytic models. For horizontal gas flow, both PPS and Akhimiona and Wiggins› equation utilise Joshi’s equation for horizontal gas flow in Equation (11) which in its original form does not account for skin effects. However, Economides, Hill & Ehlig-Economides [1] (1994) includes the effect of skin by adding the damage skin effect within the second set of brackets in the denominator as shown below in Equation (12)
(12)
The modified Joshi,s equation is then employed by both PPS and Akhimiona and Wiggins, [19] model for calculating flow in a horizontal gas well. It is immediately obvious from Figure e 12 that Akhimiona and Wiggins’ [19] equation model gives very large flow rates for large negative skin values. For example, Akhimiona and Wiggins’ equation gives a maximum flow rate of over 2 million MSCF/day for a skin value of, s = -7 which for the inputs used, is and, for the variables used, can be seen to be unrealistic. From this we can conclude that Akhimiona and Wiggins’ equation is only applicable for positive skin and low values of negative skin. The large flow rates given by Kamkom and Zhu’s [11] equation can be eliminated by removing large negative skin values and plotting Figure over a reduced range as seen in Figure 12. For positive skin values and low negative skin values, it can be seen that the three models still generate very different results. Kamkom and Zhu,s equation gives an approximately linear relationship between flow rate and skin over a 2000 MSCF/d range. PPS follows a similar shape, with slightly more curvature but gives lower flow

rates whereas Akhimiona and Wiggins’ model gives an approximately exponential relationship over a much larger range of flow rates. The AOF results for a horizontal gas well with varying skin again differs when different models are used, once more highlighting the inability of current flow models to accurately characterise horizontal flow.
Conclusion
A comprehensive evaluation of inflow performance relationship (IPR) for both vertical and horizontal well have been achieved and the following conclusions are drawn: 1. All models of compressible and incompressible fluid under steady-state flow condition have been evaluated and compared for both vertical and horizontal wells. 2. The vertical and horizontal wells’ analysis performed has highlighted the inconsistency of current models in characterising horizontal well flow. 3. The effects of flowing viscosity, reservoir anisotropy, formation thickness, horizontal well length, skin factor, and other parameters have been evaluated. 4. The proposed reservoir model has been found to have severe effect on the predicted IPR results for horizontal wells and has no effect for vertical ones. 5. The rock anisotropy has shown an influential impact on result as values for both vertical and horizontal wells.

SANDVIK – A WORLD LEADER IN SULPHUR FORMING AND HANDLING
Sandvikis a world leader in sulphur solidification and handling plantshaving delivered complete end-to-end systems from receipt of molten sulphur to transport loading of solid material to hundreds of companies around the globe since 1951. Today, the company manufactures equipment forsulphur degassing, molten truck and rail car loading, block pouring, remelting, a full range of sulphur solidification, downstream storage and reclamation, as well as bulk loading for truck, rail and ships. In terms of solidification, Sandvik provides systems to meet all throughput requirements. The well-known Rotoform, designed for small to mid-size capacity requirements, offers unrivalled product uniformity and environmentally friendly operation. Sandvik’sRotoform remains the most widely used process for the production of

premium quality pastillesinternationally. Where higher capacity is required, the company’s RS-1500™ drum system is a fully automated, once through,sulphur granulation process based on rotating drum technology. The revolutionary method of forming the seeds externally from the drum allows for higher operational availability and tighter control of the particle size distribution. With a nominal throughput rate to 65 mtph, this is the highest capacity granulation unit available in the market. Sandvik has supplied more than 700 sulphur forming units around the world and has offices in over 130 countries for efficient customer support. Sulphur production and agricultural fertilizers Elemental sulphur is the primary ingredient in sulphuric acid, the world’s most widely used chemical, and an essential
plant nutrient widely used in agricultural fertilizers. Sulphur is considered to be the fourth major nutrient behind nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. However, as it is hydrophobic in solid form, it takes time to break down to a state whereby bacteria can process it into sulphates needed for plant nutrition. One way to expedite this breakdown is to add bentonite clay, which expands 3 to 5 times its size on contact with water. Sandvik has delivered a number of systems that include in-line mixing to enable the production of sulphur bentonite in pastille form. This can be further enhanced by adding zinc, copper, boron or other micronutrients to the mix, delivering new, value added fertilizers for specific applications.
Minimizing Flow-Assurance issues with cost-effective MEG regeneration and reclamation technology For ENI’s JANGKRIK Project, PROSERNAT was awarded in 2014 for the design and supply of an integrated monoethylene glycol (MEG) regeneration and reclamation module, to be installed onto a FPU located offshore Borneo in Indonesia. This unit will be used to purify MEG that will be injected at the wellhead to inhibit formation of hydrates and resultant freeze-up of the subsea flowlines, due to the higher glycol and lower water content. It will treat the mixture of MEG, salts and f produced water (condensation & formation water) returning to the FPU. This scheme allows the complete removal of salts and a recovery of the MEG up to 99.5%. The extracted salts will be unloaded into containers for further treatment onshore. According to PROSERNAT design, integrating the two functions of regeneration and salt reclaiming, led to 30% savings in capex and opex compared to other conventional designs. Other benefits, PROSERNAT claims that integrated scheme: ■ Reduces risk of corrosion of both subsea and onshore pipelines ■ Significantly reduces fouling and scaling of the overall MEG loop The Jangkrik module, weighing 408 Tons, was adapted into a compact design which measures 11.5 m wide x 13 m long by 14 m high in order to fit into the narrow available space

The well flowed for 87 days before being capped and this was the largest spill response in history. Many innovative techniques were developed and applied for the first time at this scale. These included: Ó Sub-sea dispersant injection to disperse oil at the well head Ó Controlled burning of oil slicks on the sea surface for extended periods Ó Satellites, infra-red and ocean vehicles for spill tracking and sea monitoring Ó ‘Common Operating Picture’ information systems used to manage huge amounts of disparate data in support of the response Companies, industry associations and governments worked quickly to capture and apply the learning from these events. At the Global level IOGP assembled the Global Industry Response Group and progressed programmes on well incident prevention, subsea well
intervention (including capping and containment), and oil spill preparedness and response.

bstract
The era of easy oil is coming to an end, a lot of the major reserve finds these days are located in very challenging operating environments such as deep and ultra-deep water. Subsea tie-back systems over the years have evolved as a solution to the challenge of harnessing these reserves in a cost effective manner. The challenges for subsea type developments are not only limited to the cost of drilling and infrastructure or the complexity of the subsea layouts but also the technology of assessing and producing the volumes to surface poses a great challenge. Production technology challenges include multi-phase fluid flow, completion design, flow assurance (hydrate mitigation & management), well intervention and long term well monitoring. Of particular concern are the issues of waterflood management, intelligent completion & production systems which are core to achieving increased ultimate reservoir recovery and production volumes required for cost effectiveness. This article highlights the major production technology challenges articulated for a typical long subsea tie-back development and discusses how these could be managed.
Introduction
For the sake of this review we considered a deepwater field located in the Gulf of Guinea. The field is comprised of a combination of stratigraphically and structurally trapped hydrocarbon accumulations in middle miocene turbidite reservoirs. Six oil-bearing reservoirs (A, B, C, D, E & F) have been targeted for development as shown in Figure 1, the reservoir bodies are stacked with distinct NNE to SSW orientation with the exception of “A” reservoir which has an east to west orientation. The proposed development concept is a tieback to a host

facility (an FPSO) that is about 18 kilometers away and is the most optimal concept for economic development of the opportunity. The development philosophy is to fill ullage on the FPSO as host production declines and also to utilize existing infrastructure as much as possible. The expected full field development will consist of 32 subsea wells (17 production and 15 water injection) including dual zones completions (Smart wells).
Background
The base case development scheme includes: (Figure 2) Ó - Drilling of 25 wells in the first phase including 13 production wells and 12 injection wells. Ó - Connection of the production wells to four production manifolds and the injection wells to three injection manifolds. Each of manifolds has slots for six wells Ó - Laying of 10 in. subsea pipe-in-pipe single loop production flowline and injection flowline connecting the field to the host. Ó - Gaslift lines for riser-base gaslift Ó - Installation of risers at the starboard side of the FPSO to ensure connection of the subsea lines to topsides Ó - System of umbilicals and termination assemblies for controls and chemical injection.
Technical Challenges
One of the key technical challenge is how to design a robust production system to economically transport the production fluids from subsea wells to topsides and to be able to sufficiently mitigate all the flow assurance and operational risks. Flow assurance risks are crucial due to existing high pressures and low temperatures. The subsea system design and well completion design for this tie-back field was greatly influenced by flow assurance

reliability (availability) requirements. Intelligent Well Technology (IWT) encompasses two primary concepts Ó Surveillance in real time – making measurements of downhole flow and/or reservoir conditions possible in real time Ó Control in real time – the ability to remotely control zones via interval/inflow control valves ICV, by on/off control or choking (variable ICV) methods. Control is achieved by electric, hydraulic or electro-hydraulic (hybrid) actuation of a valve or sleeve.
Well Intervention
The remoteness of these subsea wells, coupled with a number of complex interactions between subsea wells, flowlines and the ocean environment make monitoring and intervention much more difficult. Also a shift to subsea production represents a significant departure from conventional production operations, and therefore presents a number of technical challenges. The single most-often-cited reason for running Intelligent Well Systems is intervention avoidance. Intervention carries with it a high cost, including rig cost, workover fluids, completion equipment, etc. In addition there is an opportunity cost that includes lost production for the duration of the intervention. Integrating intelligent well technology into subsea well architecture (figure 4) is actually a complex task since that would involve more dedicated support systems like power lines in umbilicals and additional power requirements for their usage.
Reliability Issues – Intelligent Well Systems
Intelligent Wells have evolved with development in completion technologies like downhole safety valves, sliding sleeves, downhole gauges, and other components that are becoming more and more reliable. With the extension of these components, Intelligent Wells can serve many purposes like flow control, downhole monitoring, and communication from the wellbore to the platform. The benefits are certainly desirable for most fields, but although close to 86% of all Intelligent Wells have experienced no failure, the number should be closer to 95% to call Intelligent Wells “mature” The most critical part that most often fails is the downhole electronics. One major technology gap is designing electronic gauges that can withstand severe downhole conditions because these components are the most sensitive to high temperatures. Thus fields with reservoirs of relatively higher temperatures, especially the deeper formations, may face higher risks of failure.

Well Integrity Monitoring
The ability to monitor the long term condition of a well is a special concern for subsea wells. The GOM has experienced a widespread occurrence of sustained casing pressure in producing wells. Methods to monitor and remediate this problem in subsea wells is an area of high interest and should not be ignored in the detailed design of the wells. Adequate measures need be put in place to provide for effective monitoring of well integrity.
Well Testing & Allocation (MPFM)
The traditional method of well testing and allocation has been by test separator information. For deepwater subsea type development there are significant challenges with this traditional separator well testing method. The challenges are further complicated by the subsea tie-back development. Some of the challenges bother on the need to: 1. Reduce number of risers and flow lines leading to a daisychain architecture. The impact of this reduction in number of flowlines and risers includes: Reduction in flexibility to handle separate LP/HP production Reduction in the flexibility for topside well testing Production loss/deferment due to need for well testing 2. Mitigate Flow Assurance challenges such as slugging (unstable flow line conditions) 3. Design for appropriate operational range of test separators or flow meters The application of multiphase flowmeters (MPFM) brings new solutions to the well testing and allocation challenges. Multiphase flow meters provide real time production data enhancing reservoir management and production allocation. The application of Multiphase Flow Meters for well testing and production allocation is recommended. Most projects install MPFMs on each of the oil production subsea wellheads and at the topsides on each of the production risers so that a real time flow rate of oil, water and gas can be obtained. The MPFM on the wellhead will measure the three-phase production from the well in real time while the MFPM on the production riser will measure the combined three phase flow from all wells into the pipeline leading to the riser in real time.
Conclusion
A number of production technology solutions have been identified to mitigate some of the key production/injection challenges faced by a number of deepwater subsea tieback development projects. Subsea tie-back systems are currently the most cost effective development option for harnessing small to edium size hydrocarbon accumulations from deepwater and ultradeepwater plays.

Impact of Formation Damage on Well Productivity throughout Experimental Work and Field case study. By
Dr. Ahmed Nooh Egyptian Petroleum Research Institute, Cairo, Egypt.
A
bstract
Well productivity decline have been widely observed in Western Desert, Egypt for oil and gas wells producing the reservoir fines. The phenomenon has been explained by the lifting, migration and subsequent plugging of the pores by the fine particles, finally resulting in permeability decrease. It has been observed in numerous core flood tests and field cases. This extensive paper dealt with the subject of formation damage by drilling fluids. It discusses the impact of damage on well productivity, the major mechanisms of formation damage by drilling fluids, assessment and testing of damage, outline considerations for mud selection and optimisation, and removal of mud damage. We define formation damage for the purposes of this report as any process that impairs the permeability of reservoir formations such that hydrocarbon production (in production wells) or injectivity (in injector wells) is reduced. While formation damage can occur at all stages of well construction, during remedial treatments and during production, this paper is concerned only with damage caused by drilling fluids. Work in progress in oil companies, service companies and academic institutions will continue to improve our knowledge, which in turn will increase

the efficiency with which we produce oil and gas. Laboratory core flood tests had been used to determine the causes, degree, and extent of damage. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to analyze the rock samples used for the core flood test before and after the test. Core flood test had been done to evaluate the effect of acid on damaged cores. Matrix acid stimulation on a case study from the studied field was evaluated.
1. Introduction
A traditional philosophy has been to worry less about formation damage by drilling fluids because stimulation treatments could generally be employed to recover lost productivity. There is now a growing awareness that prevention of damage is better than cure. If muds are designed and used properly, the need for stimulation can be reduced and often removed. An increasing number of wells are completed without casing and perforation, using instead gravel packs, pre-packed screens and slotted liners. In these completions, near-wellbore damage by drilling fluids is not bypassed by perforation tunnels. Hence avoidance of shallow mud-induced damage becomes a major issue in nonperforated wells. These considerations explain the increased importance given to the understanding and control of
formation damage. Of the preventable forms of damage, that caused by drilling fluids is generally seen as a major issue. This report will discuss the impact of mud damage on well productivity, the mechanisms by which drilling muds can cause damage, methods of formulating low damage muds, and ways of preventing and removing damage.
1.1 Impact of Formation Damage On Well Productivity
Pressure draw-down measurements made during well tests give information on the actual performance of a well and allows comparisons to be made with a model well where productivity is estimated from reservoir data, including rock permeability and porosity, permeability variations, reservoir size and shape, structural characteristics and the properties of the formation fluids. If the well produces at a rate lower than its full potential, the well is said to be damaged. This damage is depicted as a permeability reduction, or skin, which surrounds the wellbore (Figure 1). There are many causes of skin, including damage by drilling mud, cement, perforating, well geometry, stimulation and production, and the total skin measured in a well is the combination of these effects. The component of the skin caused by drilling mud damage is frequently highlighted as a major

showing that dispersed clay can penetrate deeper than 5 cm. Permeability measurements indicated some damage along the full length of the core. Provided invasion and damage by mud solids is confined to the first few centimetres of rock adjacent to the wellbore, then the productivity of perforated wells should not be affected, since perforating guns will easily bypass the damage. Mud solids invasion does, however, become important in fractured or vugular formations where the primary production comes via these high permeability channels. In these cases, coarse particulates (lost circulation materials) added to the mud system are sometimes effective at minimising solids invasion (11). Techniques such as underbalanced drilling may also offer ways of drilling these (and non-fractured) formations whilst avoiding invasion and damage (underbalanced drilling is not discussed in this report). 1.3.2. Plugging by mobilised formation fines It is not uncommon to encounter reservoir rocks which contain fine minerals in the matrix. Often, as shown in Figure 4, a high proportion of these fines are located at the surfaces of the rock pores and can become mobilised when exposed to certain fluids or flow conditions. These fines can comprise a range of minerals including clays (illite, kaolinite, chlorite, montmorillonite), carbonates, quartz and feldspars. The occurrence and composition of potentially-damaging formation fines can be identified by a combination of SEM and X-ray diffraction studies on reservoir cores, although in some cases it is easy to confuse formation fines with invaded mud solids. Migrating fines can cause extensive damage (12), (13),(14) by blocking pore throats (Figure. 4). In most formations mobile particles in the size range from 1 to 100 microns are be-
78 Petroleum Today

lieved to be most damaging, since particles finer than 1 micron are normally strongly held to the surfaces of larger mineral grains by Van der Waals forces and are difficult to dislodge, while particles above 100 microns are larger than most pore throat diameters and so cannot migrate any great distance. It is usually difficult to carry out successful remedial treatments to remove damage caused by formation fines and sometimes these treatments can, themselves, cause fines to become mobilised (e.g. by dissolving intergranular cements) or can leave reaction products which are themselves damaging. If possible, it is better to avoid inducing fines mobilisation by correct choice of drilling fluids than to plan for remedial treatments. 1.3.3. Swelling of smectite clays Rocks that contain swelling clays (montmorillonite, or other smectite minerals) in the pore system can suffer significant permeability reduction if the clays are allowed to swell and block, or partially block, pores (Figure.5). As the minerals swell (15) they also become more fragile, and may be broken up and mobilised by the flowing filtrate. Hence damage can occur through fines migration as well as through swelling. Smectites swell most in low salinity aqueous environments and therefore will become a problem when pore fluid is replaced by a low salt water-based mud filtrate. Sodium exchanged Smectites swell more than calcium or magnesium varieties. Swelling can be controlled by maintaining a high salinity filtrate, preferably containing some potassium or calcium ions which adsorb on the clay and greatly limit water uptake. The clays will not swell in oil, making oil-based muds an option for Smectite-rich reservoirs. Water-based mud additives which use cationic polymers or aluminium chemistry to stabilise swelling clays
have been described in the literature (16),(17).
2. Damage by Relative Permeability Reduction
In their natural state, hydrocarbon reservoirs can be water-wet (i.e. a layer of water is in immediate contact with the surfaces of rock grains), oil-wet (oil in contact with the rock grains) or in an intermediate, or neutral, state. Oil production is more efficient when formations are water-wet because then oil does not cling to the mineral grains but moves smoothly in a piston-like displacement through the pore system, sliding on an oil/water interface. By contrast, oil draining from an oil-wet reservoir does so by a less efficient film drainage mechanism. Most sandstone oil reservoirs are in a water-wet state, while many carbonates are intermediate or oil-wet. Invaded drilling mud filtrate can cause damage by introducing an additional fluid phase into the formation, or by increasing the saturation of the nonhydrocarbon phase. These processes can result in a reduction in the relative permeability of the formation to the hydrocarbon phase, and consequently a decrease in well productivity. Damage due to relative permeability changes may only be temporary in the case of emulsion and fluid blocking; however, the higher the viscosity of the damaging phase, the longer it will take for the formation to recover its initial permeability. In long producing intervals, such as in horizontal wells, low drawdown pressures may make it impossible to restore the original permeability along the full length of the producing interval. 2.1. Wettability change due to adsorption of mud surfactants Surfactants (or certain types of polymer) in mud filtrate can change the wettability of the rock and thus affect hydrocarbon production. In particular, oil-based and synthetic-based muds
(both invert and all-oil fluids) contain highly surface active emulsifiers and oil-wetting agents which can change grain surfaces from their natural water-wet to an oil-wet state (Figure.6). Indeed, oil-wetting agents are specifically designed to make weighting agent and drilled solids particles hydrophobic so that they remain in the continuous oil phase of the mud; it is therefore inevitable that, if free surfactant enters the rock in the mud filtrate, the rock is also likely to become oil-wet. Permeability damage caused by wettability change is generally assumed to be permanent, and is most common with oil-based muds. However, due to the low fluid loss rates of oil muds, the depth of damage will often be small. Wettability change generally has a greater impact on production in tight rocks which contain pores of small diameter(18). It has been demonstrated that damage due to wettability change in oil-based muds can be reduced if muds are formulated with low concentrations of free surfactant. However, these muds need careful monitoring to ensure sufficient surfactant is always present to maintain stable fluid properties. 2.2. Emulsion formation If two immiscible fluids - such as crude oil and water-based mud filtrate or formation water and oil-based mud filtrate - are mixed with sufficient energy, an emulsion (water in oil or oil in water respectively for the two above cases) will form which will have a higher viscosity than either of the component fluids. If the emulsions form inside pores, or are transported into pores, an emulsion block can form (Figure.7) and productivity will be decreased. Fine mud solids or formation fines can stabilise these emulsions as can mud surfactants or any natural surfactants in the crude oil. The energy needed to form stable emulsions is greatly reduced in the presence of
80 Petroleum Today

surfactants. Some workers think it is unlikely that sufficient shear will be present inside rock pores to form an emulsion, but they will form in the wellbore and may then invade (consider the emulsion droplets as flexible solid particles with a range of diameters similar to mud solids). Like drilled solids, the invasion of emulsion droplets is unlikely to extend beyond a few centimetres unless fractures are present or the rocks have a very high permeability. Other authors (18),(19) suggest sufficient shear does exist to form emulsions inside rock because, even though the bulk flow rate of mud filtrate is low, the localised rate of shear at pore throats and other constrictions is sufficient to produce emulsions, particularly when mud surfactants are present in the filtrate. 2.3. Fluid saturation change and blocking A fluid saturation change can occur when, for example, an aqueous mud filtrate invades an oil-bearing zone. The water saturation is increased in the near-wellbore region, which reduces the relative permeability to oil. (Figure. 8). The effect of increasing water saturation on relative permeability has been demonstrated by several workers. Figure. 9 shows data by Keelan and Koepf (19). In this figure, the residual water saturation is defined as the minimum water saturation of the rock when only oil is flowing at a specified pressure drop (i.e. water trapped near grain surfaces or in small pores is not flowing). The residual oil saturation is the corresponding value for oil retained in rock when water is flowing. As water-based mud filtrate invades an oil reservoir, the rock is driven towards residual oil saturation. When the well is turned on to production the oil will push the aqueous filtrate out of the rock, moving the formation back towards residual water saturation and to improved relative permeability to oil.
Temporary damage by saturation change and blocking is common in many wells, however this normally clears up during production provided sufficient drawdown can be placed on the producing formation (20) maintaining a low fluid loss in the mud will minimise the problem.
3. Conclusions and Summary
In this paper, the author have studied the impact of formation damage caused by drilling fluids on well productivity and hence on the commercial viability of some oil and gas developments. While damage can be caused by drilling fluids, cements, the perforation or other completion processes, remedial (stimulation) treatments and by the act of producing from a reservoir, we focused only on damage by drilling muds. This can occur by a number of mechanisms: Ă&#x201C; Blocking of rock pores or pore throats by - invasion by mud solids - plugging by mobilised formation fines - swelling of smectite formation clays - adsorption/precipitation of polymers - inorganic scale formation Ă&#x201C; Relative permeability effects - wettability change by surfactants - emulsion formation - fluid saturation change and fluid blocks The susceptibility of a formation to damage is strongly dependant on the nature of the rock (mineralogy, pore size distribution etc.), the composition of the pore fluids, the temperature and the pressure. The degree of damage caused by a drilling fluid will then depend on variables such as the chemical composition of the mud, the nature and size of the solids in the mud, the spurt and fluid loss rate, and the stability of the fluid components. The prevention of formation damage
by drilling muds has become a major consideration for the oil and gas industry, since damage can have a significant adverse impact on the profitability, and sometimes the economic viability, of many fields. The industry still does not have a complete understanding of: Ó the mechanisms of formation damage. Ó how mud and filtercake damage to certain types of open hole comple-
tions impacts well performance Ó how, in quantitative terms, formation damage impacts well productivity Ó how to formulate stable, environmentally-acceptable, minimallydamaging drilling muds Ó how to measure accurately the damage caused by drilling muds in real wells.

ning electron microscope studies have shown that, these particle-particle interactions are responsible for the formation of gel bridges across pore throats and that these bridges prevent invasion of mud solids into the formation. Thus, the filtercake formed with Visplex is located external to the formation and is easily removed at low drawdown pressures when the well is brought on production.
