Metal-carbon nanocomposites have been investigated as additives to enhance the protective effect of corrosion inhibitors. Two inhibitors were used as corrosion inhibitors. Inhibitor VNH-L-113 (1-morpholinomethylcyclohexylamine) belongs to Schiff bases, which are known as corrosion inhibitors in neutral and acidic media. Inhibitor SNPKh-1004 is often used in the practice of corrosion protection in the oil and gas industry. For research, an electrochemical method was applied using corrosion rate meters of the Monicor type. Neutral aqueous solution and water simulating the corrosive environment of oil fields were chosen as corrosive media. The result shows, that the copper-carbon nanocomposite enhances the protective effect of corrosion inhibitors of various chemical nature in various corrosive environments. The studies carried out make it possible to consider the use of metal-carbon nanocomposites as a promising direction for increasing the effectiveness of inhibitors in the oil and gas industry.

In the recent years, due to the introduction of new Technical Regulations in the Oil and Gas Industry in 2008, high technical and environmental performance values were set to be met by production volume and by the quality of hydrocarbons and a variety of oil products coming from the fields to factory processing and trade parks. The presence of a powerful raw material base, the shortage of petroleum products and the development of market relations create objective conditions for increased use of a variety of natural hydrocarbons, for improved technological schemes of oil preparation and oil processing on the oil fields and for modernizing the equipment used. On small and remote oil fields, which for economic reasons cannot be linked by transport pipelines, a complex system of preparation of liquid hydrocarbons is used with the ultimate goal of obtaining some refined products such as gasoline, diesel fuel and furnace oil.

Casing and tubing is widely used as protective conduits during all the phases of operations and productions for the oil and gas industry. Recently, casing and tubing burst failure accidents often take place in high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) oil and gas wells during production. Therefore, it is very important to accurately predict casing and tubing bust strength in the casing and tubing design and operation process. PD CEN ISO-TR 10400 presents the ductile rupture model for capped-end conditions, but capped-end casing and tubing applied in oil fields is few. For this case, this document establishes the ductile rupture model for capped-open conditions under combined loads on the base of PD CEN ISO-TR 10400. Numerical and experimental comparisons show that the ductile rupture model for capped-open conditions under combined loads prediction values essentially coincides with burst data provided by PD CEN ISO-TR 10400.

Corrosion of mild steel via chemical reaction in a corrosive environment is a problematic occurrence that is very common in oil and gas industries. Corrosion constitutes a huge part of the total costs in the production of oil and gas. Corrosion inhibitors have found interest in the scientific domain because they are mainly understood by their chemical complexes and formulations. Their utilization in small amount on metal surface used in oil and gas industries can help shield the metal from corrosion devoid of any significant alteration in the concentration of the corrosive media in the environment. An effort was made to study the possibility of using calf thymus gland DNA (CTGDNA) inhibitor in chlorine induced mild steel for possible usage in piping in oil and gas industry. The SEM micrograph shows that the adsorption of the CTGDNA biomacromolecules coat on the mild steel surfaces functions as a protection against HCl corrosive solution. Electrochemical study and weight loss analysis showed that the inhibitor efficiency (70.48 and 72%, respectively) of the tested DNA (CTGDNA) in HCl acidic corrosion environment for the mild steel was high at 1.5 M of HCl. The inhibitor efficiency decreased with increasing HCl concentrations. The open circuit potential (OPC) revealed that the mild steels got corroded until the end of the immersion. The intensities of XRD peak substantiate the existence of corrosion products of FeCl2.

One of the serious troubles faced by the oil and gas industry is corrosion wear of equipment and pipelines. The major part of failures of the oilfield equipment and pipelines is the result of corrosion damage, so protection of equipment from corrosion is one of the most urgent scientific and technical issues. One of the most common ways to control corrosion is inhibitor protection. The paper presents the results of studies of corrosion inhibitors synthesized on the basis of polyethylene polyamines and three varieties of light tall oil in the presence of alcohol solvents using the stillage residue of butyl alcohols rectification. The optimal parameters of synthesis and the ratio of basic raw reactants and solvents have been determined. The inhibitory properties of the synthesized samples were evaluated by changes in the rate of corrosion and the value of their protective efficiency. It has been shown that the best of the synthesized samples is not inferior to the industrial reactant Sonkor 9601 in terms of the protective effectiveness, and in the area of low concentrations (up to 40 g/t) exceeds the basic inhibitor.

This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Judy Feder, contains highlights of paper SPE 203461, “Digitalization in the Oil and Gas Industry—A Case Study of a Fully Smart Field in the United Arab Emirates,” by Muhammad Arif and Abdulla Mohammed Al Senani, ADNOC, prepared for the 2020 Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference, Abu Dhabi, held virtually from 9–12 November. The paper has not been peer reviewed. One of the first oil fields in the UAE to be fully operated remotely is in the southeast region, 250 km from Abu Dhabi. The complete paper discusses the development and commissioning of the field, which is the first smart field for ADNOC Onshore. The designed and applied technology facilitated unmanned operation of the field from downhole to export. Introduction Oilfield digitalization encompasses gathering real-time and non-real-time data from wells, flow lines, manifolds, stations, and water injection facilities; analysis of the data using algorithms, flowcharts, plots, and reports; and user access to this data on user-friendly screens. This allows engineers to focus on interpretation of data vs. searching, organizing, and formatting the data. In the bigger picture, the data collected will lead to conclusions and set bases for important decisions for similar projects in the future, enabling a lesson-learning approach to design new oil fields. The accumulated theoretical and practical research results of smart-field implementation require analysis and synthesis to maintain perspective of the entire project. Both were applied in the Mender field, which is the subject of the complete paper. Problem Statement The Mender parent field has been producing since 2013 with minimal digitalization for wellheads. Wells are not fit-ted with remote sensors, and operators have been visiting the wells to collect data using analog gauges. Collected data are stored in computers or as hard copies. Some critical data is lost, which affects decision-making. The new Mender field is 50 km from the parent field and is in a sensitive area close to international borders. The field area is a wildlife reserve for various endangered animals. The nature of operations is highly critical because of concentrations of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) that could jeopardize employees’ health and safety.
