Abstract This paper demonstrates the Saudi Aramco Khurais Facility (KhPD) successful commissioning of the A Fully Integrated Pipelines Management System, in an effort to enhance its environmental emission performance. The project team conducted an assessment conceptually right from the beginning, to ensure that the value creations from this initiative can be realized, and the project remain cost effective and safely executed while meeting environmental objectives. Following successful deployment, the Khurais team carried out post installation performance assessment to ensure the outcomes and objectives from this project has been impacted positively. This paper covers the fully implemented solution to manage pipelines assets and enchantments followed by Saudi Aramco Khurais producing facility (KhCPF) Objectives: Share how a corrosion challenge of multi-phase flow within pipelines led to installation of a comprehensive solution to Pipeline Management Systems (common header connects all compressors) and how it was resolved through integration between two different systems. In addition, highlight how this approach enhanced the pipelines reliability, safety and most important the big environmental impact that helped Saudi Aramco to reduce its carbon footprint.

In this paper we study the flow of an inviscid fluid composed by three different phases. The model is a simple hyperbolic system of three conservation laws, in Lagrangian coordinates, where the phase interfaces are stationary. Our main result concerns the global existence of weak entropic solutions to the initial-value problem for large initial data.

The well design with long lateral section and multistage frac completion has been proven effective for development of the unconventional reservoirs. Top-tier well production in unconventional reservoir can be achieved by optimizing hydraulic completion and stimulation design, which necessitates an understanding of flow behavior and hydrocarbon contribution allocation.  Historically, conventional production logging (PL) surveys were scarcely used in unconventional reservoirs due to limited and often expensive conveyance options, as well as complicated and non-unique inflow interpretations caused by intricate and changing multi-phase flow behavior (Prakash et al., 2008). The assessment of the cluster performance gradually shifted towards distributed acoustic (DAS) and temperature (DTS) sensing methods using fiber optics cable, which continuously gained popularity in the industry. Fiber optics measurements were anticipated to generate production profiles along the lateral with sub-cluster resolution to assist with optimal completions design selection. Encapsulation of the fiber in the carbon rod provided alternative conveyance method for retrievable DFO measurements, which gained popularity due to cost-efficiency and operational convenience (Gardner et al., 2015). Recent utilization of micro-sensor technology in PL tools, (Abbassi et al, 2018, Donovan et al, 2019) allowed dramatic reduction of the size and the weight of the PL toolstring without compromising wellbore coverage by sensor array. Such ultra-compact PL toolstring could utilize the carbon rod as a taxi and provide mutually beneficial and innovative surveillance combination to evaluate production profile in the unconventional reservoirs. Array holdup and velocity measurements across wellbore from PL would reveal more details regarding multi-phase flow behavior, which could be used for cross-validation and constraining of production inflow interpretation based on DFO measurements. This paper summarizes the lessons learned, key observations and best practices from the unique 4 well program, where such innovative combination was tested in gas rich Duvernay shale reservoir.
