Background. The present work is devoted to one of the key areas of research activity of the modern oil and gas scientific world: decarbonization and increasing the efficiency of the natural and associated gas usage. One of the eco-friendly ways of processing natural and associated gas is the production of carbon black (soot) from it. This method is also included in the list of best available technology (BAT). Nowadays, soot is a raw material for massive scale production of rubber products, which accounts for a large share of the manufacture of tyres, besides, carbon black is a valuable component in the paint-and-varnish and petrochemical industry (inks, plastics and many other things). The aim of the project is to assess the applicability of technologies for processing the surplus of associated petroleum gas (APG) into carbon black (CB). Materials and methods. The technology is based on the pyrolysis of hydrocarbons under the influence of high temperature with a lack of air. In the work, the following tasks were performed: CB market was studied; the analysis and choice of the optimal method for obtaining soot from APG for the N field, technological calculation, and selection of equipment and economic evaluation of the technology were performed. Results. Calculations have shown that the use of this method of APG utilization is cost-effective. The PI of the project is more than 2. Conclusion. The main advantages of this technology are: relatively low capital outlays, efficient gas utilization, reduction of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, additional income from the sale of a new product in high demand. The main disadvantage of this method of gas utilization is the lack of experience and practice of oil companies in the possibilities and methods of carbon black from APG.

The paper deals with the case of damage to the underwater pipeline through which oil and associated gas are transported. The process of oil and gas migration is described by the flow of a multiphase submerged jet. At the initial moment, the temperature of the incoming hydrocarbons, their initial velocity, the temperature of the surrounding water, the depth of the pipeline is known. The paper considers two cases of different initial parameters of hydrocarbon outflow from the pipeline. In the first case, the thermobaric environmental conditions correspond to the conditions of hydrate formation and stable existence. Such a case corresponds to the conditions of the hydrocarbons flow in the Gulf of Mexico. In the second case, hydrate is not formed. Such flows correspond to the cases of oil transportation through pipelines in the Baltic sea (for example, Nord stream–2). The process of hydrate formation will be characterized by the following dynamics of the bubble: first, it will be completely gas, then a hydrate shell (composite bubble) will begin to form on its surface, then the bubble will become completely hydrate, which will be the final stage. The integral Lagrangian control volume method will be considered for modeling the dynamics of hydrocarbon jet propagation. According to this method, the jet is considered as a sequence of elementary volumes. When modeling the jet flow, the laws of conservation of mass, momentum and energy for the components included in the control volume are taken into account. The equations are used taking into account the possible formation of hydrate. Thermophysical characteristics of hydrocarbons coming from the damaged pipeline for cases of deep-water and shallow-water pipeline laying are obtained. The trajectories of hydrocarbon migration, the dependence of the jet temperature and density on the vertical coordinate are analyzed.

For resources in the exploration stage, the modern “Classification of reserves” requires determining the economic efficiency of development prospects. Calculations of the development efficiency are based on the development time, which is difficult to determine without technological projects and schemes due to insufficient initial data. The identification of development stages in the preliminary economic assessment is carried out on the basis of expert appraisals without precise criteria, by analogy with the fields under development. The article establishes empirical dependencies and shows the possibility of their use for express forecast of the period for finishing work on a field (deposit), duration of the main development period, duration of the increasing production stage. Dependencies allow solving the problem of constructing a production curve in conditions of limited geological data. The express method can be used at the macro level to develop strategies for the development of oil and gas regions and at the micro level in the economic assessment of the prospects for the development of objects.

End Use

Pursuant to the Doctrine of Correlative Rights, an owner of property in an oil and gas pool is entitled to an opportunity to produce his just and equitable share of the oil and gas in the pool. If such an owner does not exercise this opportunity, this article concludes that the Rule of Capture is the law in Alberta, and the owner who is drained has no right under existing conservation legislation to limit the cummulative share of production of another owner in the pool. Natural gas has many uses in addition to its use as light and fuel. This article further submits, that under the provisions of the Alberta Oil and Gas Conservation Act, the Board has the power to regulate the end use of gas, and as such, could prohibit the use of natural gas in the manufacture of chemicals, fertilizers and carbon black.

This article discusses the importance of gas turbines, centrifugal compressors and pumps, and other turbomachines in processes that bring natural gas to the end users. To be useful, the natural gas coming from a large number of small wells has to be gathered. This process requires compression of the gas in several stages, before it is processed in a gas plant, where contaminants and heavier hydrocarbons are stripped from the gas. From the gas plant, the gas is recompressed and fed into a pipeline. In all these compression processes, centrifugal gas compressors driven by industrial gas turbines or electric motors play an important role. Turbomachines are used in a variety of applications for the production of oil and associated gas. For example, gas turbine generator sets often provide electrical power for offshore platforms or remote oil and gas fields. Offshore platforms have a large electrical demand, often requiring multiple large gas turbine generator sets. Similarly, centrifugal gas compressors, driven by gas turbines or by electric motors are the benchmark products to pump gas through pipelines, anywhere in the world.

The Impact

The aim of the welfare state, in accordance with the Constitution of Ukraine is to ensure conditions for the growth of welfare of citizens. One of the major components in the well-being of civilized societies is to ensure that citizens and businesses the necessary energy. Energy development is the basis for enhancing the social and economic living standards of the population and competitiveness. The key to this goal should be a reliable, economically viable and environmentally sound needs of the population and the economy of energy products. It is important to identify the critical factors is a threat to the energy security of the national economy. The state of the energy sector of Ukraine is negatively affected by continued dependence on imports of Russian natural gas, petroleum products and fuel for power plants. Today such dependence on primary energy, including coal, has become a leverage to Ukraine on the part of the neighboring state. The loss of the fuel and energy complex, and areas for future development of hydrocarbon resources as a result of the annexation of the Crimea and the military operations in the east of the country, as well as the destruction of the oil and gas infrastructure in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, yielded additional new factors which significantly weakened the energy security of the country. Given the instability of strategic task for Ukraine, it is vital to achieve the highest possible level to ensure the economy’s own oil and gas resources, which, to a certain extent, will contribute to energy independence and savings of foreign exchange reserves of the country, as well as infrastructure development in the industry, tax revenues, creation of additional jobs.

The construction of middle oil-gathering facility, in which technological processes are managed in a closed medium is necessary for environmental protection to control highly corrosive medium in oil and gas production. Associated gas separated from the fluid in initial separation unit within middle oil-gathering facility enters gas-gathering point with low pressure, and the liquid - into the pig of oil, water and sand, which should be constructed from iron concrete for cleaning from mechanical impurities sediments and salt as well. The liquid charge from the separation unit and pig of oil, water and sand is based upon the law of communicating vessels. To supply long-life for reservoirs, the inner and outer walls should be covered with a special coating and additionally, electrochemical protection should be provided as well.

Cooper Basin

The Tirrawarra Oil and Gas Field, discovered in 1970 in the South Australian portion of the Cooper Basin, is the largest onshore Permian oil field in Australia. Development began in 1981 as part of the $1400 million Cooper Basin Liquids ProjectThe field is contained within a broad anticline bisected by a north-south sealing normal fault. This fault divides the Tirrawarra oil reservoir into the Western and Main oil fields. Thirty-four wells have been drilled, intersecting ten Patchawarra Formation sandstone gas reservoirs and the Tirrawarra Sandstone oil reservoir. Development drilling discovered three further sandstone gas reservoirs in the Toolachee Formation.The development plan was based on a seven-spot pattern to allow for enhanced oil recovery by miscible gas drive. The target rates were 5400 barrels of oil (860 kilolitres) per day with 13 million ft3 (0.37 million m3) per day of associated gas and 70 million ft3 (2 million m') per day of wet, non-associated gas. Evaluation of early production tests showed rapid decline. The 100 ft (30 m) thick, low-permeability Tirrawarra oil reservoir was interpreted as an ideal reservoir for fracture treatment and as a result all oil wells have been successfully stimulated, with significant improvement in well production rates.The oil is highly volatile but miscibility with carbon dioxide has been proven possible by laboratory tests, even though the reservoir temperature is 285°F (140°C). Pilot gas injection will assess the feasibility of a larger-scale field-wide pressure maintenance scheme using miscible gas. Riot gas injection wells will use Tirrawarra Field Patchawarra Formation separator gas to defer higher infrastructure costs associated with the alternative option of piping carbon dioxide from Moomba, the nearest source.
