The importance of shale gas production in altering the global energy system is growing. There is consensus that hydraulic fracturing in horizontal wells is the most cost-effective and efficient method for accessing shale gas resources. For hydraulic fracturing to be successful in the long run as shale gas production expands, a number of key characteristics must be optimized. The research focuses on the development of reservoir simulators (Companion of St. Michael and St. George-International Monetary Exchange (CMG-IMEX)) and analyzing the parameters, which have a major impact on gas flow in the shale gas reservoir. In the process of gas flow characterization, the approach is to consider a dual porosity model for analyzing the reservoir simulation model of a shale gas reservoir. With the use of a model, we are able to analyze the flow of shale gas from tight reservoirs through the conductive fractures to the wellbore. The development of this research could lead to enhanced production from the shale gas wells.
The demand for petroleum is increasing steadily, with the International Energy Agency (IEA) projecting that the world's petroleum expenditure will rise from 3564 Million Tonnes of Oil Equivalent (MTOE) in 2007 to as much as 5471 MTOE in 2015 and 6301 MTOE in 2030. More than two-thirds of the oil discovered around the world remains unrecovered; 40–70% of the original oil is still left in place after using conventional production techniques, namely, primary and secondary recovery techniques. This paper is based on the use of the Thermal Enhanced Oil Recovery (TEOR) method in a Sudanese oil field, the Orion field. There are two types of thermal EOR methods, namely In-Situ Combustion (ISC) and Hot Fluid Injection Process. The selection of a specific thermal EOR method is crucial for economic production. Also the challenges faced, such as depth limitation, conventional completion problems, reservoir heterogeneity, etc. are discussed. In order to get maximum recovery from the field, it is necessary to select a shallow depth so that heat loss does not occur inside the formation.
The stimulation method that is currently most often employed around the world is hydraulic fracturing. The selection of an appropriate hydraulic fracturing technique is very important. Carbonates have the option of either acid or supported fracture treatment. In this paper, the key arguments for propped hydraulic fracturing being preferred in carbonate reservoirs will be covered in depth.
Any well's oil production goes through three stages. Under well pressure, oil is naturally extracted in the first stage; the second stage begins when the well pressure drops. In the second stage, sea or brackish water is pumped into the well, forcing oil upward. Twenty to thirty percent of the well reserve is removed after the well's primary and secondary oil production stages. More than 70 percent of the oil is still present in the well, despite claims to the contrary. The third stage, often known as enhanced oil recovery or tertiary recovery, begins at this point. It is predicted that just one-third of the available oil is produced globally. Therefore, as demand rises and there is a supply shortfall, we should be able to produce more oil by adopting EOR processes. This paper presents a brief review of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) processes. It is anticipated that EOR technologies will be essential in supplying the world's energy needs in the years to come given the drop in oil finds over the past few decade.
Pigging is commonly utilized in pipelines for different maintenance tasks such as cleaning and inspecting pipes using pigging pigs. This is done without interrupting the flow of goods via the pipeline. The operation is carried out by introducing a pig from the source to the end-point of the pipeline. During the pig's travel through the pipeline, it brushes out the trapped product and cleans the pipe walls. It is also utilized for pipeline inspection, providing us with interior data such as corrosion characteristics, and identifying dents, wrinkles, buckles, welding faults, and fractures. It ensures product flow and reduces product contamination within the pipeline. It eliminates accumulated debris, which eventually helps to defend against the defects with heavy duty bristles and pit cleaning brushes are highly effective in both swiping the liquids downstream, and out of pits.
