Abstract In the era of all-encompassing Big Data and the Internet of Things (IoT), mastery of Instrument Control (I&C) and SCADA systems deployment is becoming more important as the Operational Technology (OT) foundation for digital integration, data gathering, processing, analytics, and the optimization of business results. Integration and communication between different I&C and SCADA products and systems in an Oil and Gas project represent a significant challenge. The issues encountered on projects globally can prolong project schedules from weeks to months with consequential impacts on commercial gas production, project cash flow, and economics. This paper presents how to enable digital operations through holistic design, well-organized kickoff, effective Integrated Factory Acceptance Test (IFAT), and timely commissioning of I&C and SCADA systems for surface facilities of a gas field development project. It provides a feasible, economical and proven solution to address the foregoing challenges. Furthermore, in this paper we present a snapshot of how to use the latest data-science technology to bring out the value of the gold mine - big data generated by the I&C and SCADA systems.

Oil Field Development

A quantitative analysis of economic risk associated with large investments in offshore oil and gas field development and production is presented. The analysis is intended as a supporting tool in decision-making faced with uncertainty and risk, to study the effect of alternative decisions in an easy manner. The descriptors for the project assessment, such as the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Net Present Value (NPV) are applied. The study demonstrates first the impacts of early pilot production (EPP) prior to a main oil field development on the field economy of an oil field development and production installation. Furthermore, the result of cases which reflect relevant situations connected with cost overruns are presented, as well as derivation of rational decision criteria for termination/continuation of a project subjected to cost overruns. Finally, an oil field development project scheduling is demonstrated.

Oil And Gas Sector

The oil and gas sector is an important factor in sustainable development, so it is considered necessary to make serious changes in conducting economic analysis on the oil and gas business. Oil and gas industry activities consist of upstream activities, and downstream activities. Activities in these upstream and downstream operations have high risk, high costs and high technology, so the company continuously tries to reduce the importance of the adverse impact of these risks on the work environment and people. Thus, evaluating the factors that affect sustainable production in this sector becomes a necessity. In this research will be evaluated the economy of the oil and gas field using methods of economic indicators, among others; NPV, POT, ROR, where these factors are estimated in order to be able to estimate the prospects of the oil and gas field so that the decision that the field development project can be implemented or cannot be taken immediately. Implementation of oil and gas field economic evaluation in this study using Macro VBA Excel. From several methods of economic analysis obtained that the results of this study show high precision compared to other methods, in addition to the way of evaluation using the above economic indicators is very popular.

Abstract In the marginal gas field development engineering, considering the low gas production with complex reservoir condition, it is difficult to develop independently because of the low economic efficiency. It is usually developed by relying on an existing offshore platform or facility nearby, in which hydrate inhibition is an important issue, and in order to inhibit hydrate formation in the subsea pipeline, hydrate inhibition method should be studied. Based on certain marginal gas field development project in South China Sea, which relies on nearby DPP platform, the paper studies methanol and MEG as inhibitor and application of double-layer insulated subsea pipeline. Finally by technical and economic comparisons, for the first time double-layer insulated pipeline is selected as the hydrate inhibition method to meet requirements of both relying on DPP and achieving better economic benefits, which is expected to provide reference for similar marginal gas field development.

Equipment And Pipelines

At the present stage of gas field development, the products of many mining facilities have increased content of corrosive CO2 . The corrosive effect of CO2 on steel equipment and pipelines is determined by the conditions of its use. CO2 has a potentially wide range of usage at oil and gas facilities for solving technological problems (during production, transportation, storage, etc.). Simulation tests and analysis were carried out to assess the corrosion effect of CO2 on typical steels (carbon, low-alloy and alloyed) used at field facilities. Gas production facilities demonstrate several corrosion formation zones: lower part of the pipe (when moisture accumulates) and top of the pipe (in case of moisture condensation). The authors have analyzed the main factors influencing the intensity of carbon dioxide corrosion processes at hydrocarbon production with CO2 , its storage and use for various technological purposes. The main mechanism for development of carbon dioxide corrosion is presence/condensation of moisture, which triggers the corrosion process, including the formation of local defects (pits, etc.). X-ray diffraction was used for the analysis of corrosion products formed on the steel surface, which can have different protective characteristics depending on the phase state (amorphous or crystalline).

The Yamal Peninsula

Huge reserves of hydrocarbons on the shelf of the Kara Sea, adjacent to the west coast of the Yamal Peninsula are to be developed in the XXI century. This large oil and gas area in northern West Siberia has prospective resources of 56 trillion barrels of oil equivalents (boe). The Russia Federation has no other regions with similar concentrations of undeveloped hydrocarbons. Creating this unique Kara Sea gas production centre could provide in the years 2015–2030 a production of at least 800 billion Sm3 of gas per year providing both domestic and external demand with this fuel, and supply it to the external market, (http://oilgasindustry.ru).

Abstract The request for optimization of development system parameters, well designs and the ground facility architecture is permanent task during the development of hydrocarbon fields. Decrease in the quality of oil and gas reserves, development of fields in difficult environment conditions and in the Arctic, oil and gas prices development lead to an increase in the sensitivity of new field’s development profitability from the parameters of the development system and field facilities. Infrastructure of a field for the development of a gas field is associated with significant capital costs, both for the construction of wells and local infrastructure facilities, and for the construction of facilities for the preparation and transportation of gas. Therefore, one of the main tasks in the design of gas field development is the calculation of the optimal parameters of the development system - the number of wells and gas production plateau. Now the most well-known approaches to solving this problem are the calculation of different development variants using integrated numerical hydrodynamic models (Apasov et.al., 2018), taking into account all the features of the field under consideration or using analytical models based on the fundamental principles of filtration theory and development experience. In such conditions, when solving optimization problems, it is necessary to take into account all the components of the production system (Khasanov et.al., 2020), otherwise it can be an incorrectly assessment of the economic effect of optimization and face the unprofitability of the developed design solutions. For most oil fields, the interinfluence of the reservoir part of the field, well lifts and the infrastructure is relatively weak, therefore, these parts can be optimized separately. When designing the development of fields with oil rims and gas fields, especially multilayer ones, optimization requires searching for a global optimal solution, investigating the existence and uniqueness of such a solution - on the models describing the field and interaction of the infrastructure, well lifts and the reservior part.
