Well Performance Seminar from Prof. Furui, Waseda University

DPE-Lecture Room

HS Miller v.Hauenfels, Montanuniversität Leoben

Abstract
Well inflow performance refers to a well’s ability to pass fluids from the reservoir to the interior of the well. The interface between the interior of the well and the reservoir is referred to as completion, which plays a crucial role in the inflow performance of the well. The well inflow performance is controlled by many completion- and stimulation-related parameters
such as perforation conditions, formation damage, partial completion, inclination, acid penetration, fracture length/conductivity, etc.

In this seminar two field examples will be presented, demonstrating how well performance analysis is used to evaluate overall completion and stimulation designs and execution performance. The first field example discusses the evaluation of frac-pack flow performance for subsea IWS wells in high-permeability sandstone reservoirs. In this case, a comprehensive well inflow performance analysis from data acquisition, well testing design, and Darcy and Non-Darcy skin factor analysis is conducted to assess completion damage in frac-pack wells and develop empirical correlations to predict well flow performance before and after full clean-up for the frac-pack wells.

The second field example presents a comprehensive study on wormholing to improve the understanding of matrix acidizing in carbonate reservoirs. In this example, acid wormholing in carbonate rock is analyzed through linear core flooding tests, small block tests, and large block tests, as well as field measurements. The study results indicate that a skin value of −4 is
achievable in carbonate reservoirs by matrix acidizing. Also, wormholing efficiency discussed as a scale effect in previous studies are reconfirmed by the small and large block laboratory tests, which corresponds to PVbt on an order of 0.02 to 0.04 under radial flow conditions. An understanding of the possible range of wormhole penetration presented in this work has
allowed operators to improve field acid treatments and reduce the risk of connecting to water.

What is 'Petroculture'? - Triple N Talks

Thu, Feb 2, 2023

17:30 - 19:00

HS Miller v.Hauenfels, Montanuniversität Leoben

Franz-Josef-Strasse 18, 8700 Leoben

This talk with explore the concept of "petroculture", which names the deep and abiding impact of fossil fuels on the character of modern society. Over the past decade, the term has been used increasingly in the humanities and social sciences for two reasons: first, as a way to newly understand socio-historical developments in relationship to energy transitions; and second, to more fully grapple with the cultural and social shifts which will have to accompany changes in energy use. To see ourselves inhabiting petrocultures is to recognize that technological innovations and renewable energies are unlikely to be enough to address global warming. Such changes will have to be accompanied by changes to the social, cultural, and political norms and expectations which were developed in conjunction with the energy riches of the past century-and-a-half — a process which is likely to prove more challenging and disruptive than currently imagined.

About the presenter:
Imre Szeman is University Researcher at the Chair of Environmental Communication at the University of Waterloo and the Climate Critic for the Green Party of Canada. He is co-founder of the Petrocultures Research Group,which explores the socio-cultural dimensions of energy use and its implications for energy transition and climate change, and the leader of After Oil, a collective which has produced After Oil (West Virginia University Press, 2016)and Solarities: Seeking Energy Justice (University of Minnesota Press, 2022). He is author (most recently) of On Petrocultures: Globalization, Culture, and Energy (WVUP, 2019) and is working on The Futureof the Sun, a book detailing corporate and state control of the transition to renewables.

On the 1^st September 2022 Herr Univ.-Prof. Keita YOSHIOKA, PhD has taken over the Professorship for Geoenergy Production Engineering at the Department Petroleum Engineering.

For this reason we want to invite you to his INAUGURAL LECTURE:
Date: Wednesday, 30.11.2022
Time: 5 p.m.
Place: Lecture Room, ground floor, DPE Building, Parkstraße 27

Title: Fracture Initiation and Propagation in Porous Media: Variational Phase-Field Model

Abstract:
Fracturing is a well stimulation technique applied in hydrocarbon or geothermal energy production. While fractures are deliberately created in such geo-energy applications, they are something to avoid or to be controlled in underground energy and CO2 storage or nuclear waste disposal.This shift in focus prompts us to study not only propagation but also nucleation of fractures. And subsequently we need simulation capabilities for both propagation and nucleation.

In this lecture, Prof. Yoshioka will briefly go over how conventional fracture mechanics fails to address fracture nucleation and introduce a variational phase-field model which has witnessed the explosive popularity within the mechanics community since its inception in the early 2000's. Part of this success is because of its ability to capture complex fracture behaviors, including nucleation and propagation along complex unknown path in 2 and 3 dimensions without the need for ad-hoc criteria and geometric restrictions on crack path.

He will then focus on its applications to desiccation fracturing in porous material, mechanical joints in geological formations, and hydraulic fracturing.
Finally, I will close my talk with future prospectives and further research topics in this subject.

Wer are looking forward to your coming and remain with Glückauf!

Main Theme of the Congress’ Plenary Session

Due to the trends, the role of the Arctic in the oil and gas industry of our time cannot be overestimated. This region can bring the largest and most promising oil and gas fields to the world. Despite this, scientists face problems developing in the Arctic due to the harsh climate and insufficiently developed technologies. Recently, this territory has also acquired one more importance for the world economy — transport. The Northern Sea Route along the coast of the Arctic seas of Russia is almost 2 times shorter than other routes from Europe to the Far East. Thus, all of the above call for the development and application of innovative digital technologies in the oil and gas industry, especially in the Arctic, including the robotization of this region. Russian President Vladimir Putin has approved the "Strategy for the Development of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation", ensuring national security for the period up to 2035.

Geologische CO2 Speicherung: Prozesse, Chancen und Risiken einer umstrittenen Technologie

Gehen wir davon aus, dass die Weltbevölkerung wächst und damit auch das Streben nach stetigem Wirtschaftswachstum sowie wachsendem Wohlstand. Wie wird sich der Energie-Mix der Welt verändern? Werden wir in Zukunft komplett auf fossile Energieträger verzichten können?

Aufgrund des weltweit wachsenden Energiebedarfs und des relativ langsamen Übergangs zu nachhaltigen Energiequellen werden fossiler Energieträger auch in den kommenden Jahrzehnten unsere Hauptenergiequelle bleiben. Um unsere ambitionierten Klimaziele dennoch zu erreichen, sind Übergangstechnologien erforderlich, um die damit verbundenen CO2-Emissionen zu begrenzen. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) ist eine solche Technologie mit einem hohen Potenzial zur Reduktion der Treibhausgasemissionen und möglicherweise sogar zur Erzielung eines negativen CO2-Fußabdrucks. Laut Weltklimarat sind diese Technologien unbedingt erforderlich, gelten jedoch als Geoengineering und werden deshalb kontrovers diskutiert.

Im Vortrag wird unsere Abhängigkeit von fossilen Energieträgern diskutiert, wie wir zukünftig damit umgehen können und welche Rolle der geologischen CO2 Speicherung zukommen wird im Übergang zu einer klimaneutralen Gesellschaft. Darüber hinaus werden die unterirdischen Prozesse während der Speicherung diskutiert, die für die Bewertung des Speicherpotenzials und die Risikobewertung eine Rolle spielen.

Holger Ott studierte Physik in Stuttgart und Berlin, und promovierte 2004 an der Freien Universität Berlin mit dem Schwerpunkt Festkörperphysik. Bevor er 2006 in die Industrie wechselte, war er Fellow und Postdoktorand an der University of Tokyo (Japan, 2002), und der Universität zu Köln (Deutschland, 2004-2006).

Ab 2006 arbeitete Holger als Senior Scientist und Projektleiter bei Shell Global Solutions International B.V. in den Niederlanden und war unter anderem wissenschaftlicher Leiter im Bereich der geologische CO2 Speicherung. Während dieser Zeit unterrichtete Holger als Honorary Reader am Imperial College London, und habilitierte 2015 an der RWTH Aachen in Deutschland in den Angewandten Geowissenschaften.

2016 wurde Holger an die Montanuniversität Leoben berufen. Er leitet den Lehrstuhl für Reservoir Engineering, und ist seit 2019 Leiter des Departments Petroleum Engineering. Seine primären Forschungsinteressen liegen in der Dekarbonisierung fossiler Brennstoffe und der geologischen Energiespeicherung.

Presentation: Oil-well cements – a journey from manufacturing and standards to chemical resistance

Thu, Aug 23, 2018

13:30

DPE Building, 3rd Floor

All students interested in the topic are welcome to take part in this presentation. This is an opportunity to learn and ask questions about cement manufacturing, the different characteristics of oil-well cement, grades, alternatives to cement, carbon emission, other blends that Dyckerhoff manufactures, etc.

Abstract:

Oil-well cements differ from ordinary construction cements, in terms of application and requirements and therefore, applicable standards and extent of quality control during manufacturing. Although cementing is commonly considered as a “commodity” segment during drilling and completing a well, its importance for zonal isolation is unquestionable. Within this, the oil-well cement itself plays a vital role. As for other oil-field materials, after Macondo, the views and requirements on quality oil-well cements seemed to have changed. Properly-developed standards play an essential role in defining basic requirements. On top of this, the huge complexity of the challenging purpose and application down-hole set additional requirements to manufacturers as well as to the users. So, for instance, consistency of reactivity and compatibility with common and enhanced chemicals define an additional level of field requirements for oil-well cements, which can hardly be covered by standards only. This presentation provides basics but also important details about oil-well cement production, quality control and chemistry. The latter being complemented by information about sulfate and CO2 resistance. Apart from standardized “basic cement classes” G and H, which globally dominate the well-cementing industry, other standardized cement classes and future product and standardization trends, e.g. CO2 footprint-reduced composite cements, are discussed as well.

Dr. Heiko Plack CV:

Dr. Heiko Plack holds a Master of Engineering in Mining and a PhD in Petroleum Engineering. He joined Dyckerhoff - one of the world’s biggest well-cement producers - in 1994 as Head of Development Laboratory and Technical Consultant to Well Cements. Since 2003, he has been responsible for global oil-well cement sales of the Dyckerhoff Group. Including his PhD phase, he has been involved in the field of well cements for almost 30 years. The greatest part of this is that he has been an active member and workgroup chairman of “API SC 10, Subcommittee on Well Cements” and ISO Subcommittee 3 “Drilling and completion fluids, and well cements” during all these decades. In 2011, he joined the Management Team of Dyckerhoff’s Central Europe East Division, to coordinate the sales activities for all cement products sold in Russia, Ukraine, Poland and Czech Republic.
