Abstract Output is the core index of oil and gas enterprises, and the management of output is very important to the operation of oil and gas enterprises. Each year, oil and gas companies will develop a production allocation plan according to well productivity. Under the guidance of the allocation plan, the annual production target would finally be achieved. In the digital transforming stage of development and production management of oil and gas fields, the traditional offline manual production allocation can no longer meet the needs of delicacy management. For this reason, based on the development and production management platform, a system of production allocation and management was established and deployed in an international oil and gas company. In this paper, through the information platform concept model, introduced the development and production management platform construction method. Based on the platform architecture, taking production allocation and management as an example, the system construction process is introduced from the aspects of business process splitting, system function design, data and software integration call, etc. Furthermore, through the integration of intelligent oil and gas project results based on the platform architecture, the integrated application of intelligent workflow to core business activities in the production allocation and management process is realized. The platform has been fully applied by a large natural gas production company. Through this platform, a management mode with "business standardization, process standardization, and execution standardization" was adopted to realize the comprehensive transformation of production allocation and management from the traditional mode to the digital one. The application of the platform shows that: the process of production allocation and management optimized in process-driven way is traceable and can form a business closed loop; through process reorganization and integrated application, the efficient business collaboration across specialities and departments has been achieved, improving the scientific decision-making ability and the level of business management;

Environmentally safe oil and gas production demands permanent control for the development of ecological situation which should be managed on the basis of existing nature protection requirements and corresponding instruction documents. Purpose of the research and formulation of the problem is to select landscape complexes at the hierarchical levels of locations and facies in the Bykiv oil and gas field to make landscape map with morphological genetic and age features of landscape structure as the basis of environmental assessment of oil and gas field impact on the natural geosystems. Presentation of the main research material with full justification of the received scientific results. Landscape analysis of the investigated area allowed to select, ground and make mapping the following landscape complexes: landscape localities, foothill landscape complexes. Characteristic feature of the Bytkiv oil and gas field and neighborhoods is their high-altitude stratification from middle and lowmountainous to foothills and lowlands. The genesis or origin of the area under study is various - from denudation relics of the top peneplenization surface of leveling much younger pedyplenization surface pediments on the transition from mountainous to foothill relief, to deeply portioned erosionally active steep slopes and stairstepping of the river terraces. Age boundaries of the created landscape structures were determined on the availability of adjoint sedimentary formations from the producents of bedrock destruction, resedimented eolivan, deluvial, proluvial and alluvial processes.

It wasn’t too long ago that Arctic oil and gas exploration enjoyed celebrity status as the industry’s last frontier, chock full of gigantic unexplored hydrocarbon deposits just waiting to be developed. Fast forward and less than a decade later, the same climate change that made Arctic oil and gas more accessible has caused an about-face as governments and the world’s supranational energy companies rebrand and target control of greenhouse gases (GHG) to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Among countries with Arctic coastlines, Canada has focused its hydrocarbon production on its oil sands which sit well below the Arctic Circle; Greenland has decided to not issue any new offshore exploration licenses (https://jpt.spe.org/greenland-says-no-to-oil-but-yes-to-mining-metals-for-evs), and while Norway is offering licenses in its “High North,” the country can’t find many takers. The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) reported that while 26 companies applied for licenses in 2013, this year’s bid round attracted only seven participants. Norway is Europe’s largest oil producer after Russia with half of its recoverable resources still undeveloped and most of that found in the Barents Sea where the NPD says only one oil field and one gas field are producing. That leaves Russia and the US—geopolitical rivals which are each blessed with large Arctic reserves and the infrastructure to develop those riches—but whose oil and gas industries play different roles in each nation’s economy and domestic political intrigues. Russia sees its Arctic reserves, particularly gas reserves, as vital to its national security, considering that oil and gas accounts for 60% of Russian exports and from 15 to 20% of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP), according to Russia’s Skolkovo Energy Centre. With navigation now possible year­round along the Northern Sea Route, Russia’s LNG champion and its largest independent gas producer, Novatek, is moving forward with exploration to expand its resource base and build infrastructure to ship product east to Asia and west to Europe. https://jpt.spe.org/russian­lng­aims­high­leveraging­big­reserves­and­logistical­advantages As a result, Russia’s state­owned majors—Rosneft, Gazprom, and Gazprom Neft—are lining up behind their IOC colleague as new investment in Arctic exploration and development is encouraged and rewarded by the Kremlin. In contrast, the American Petroleum Institute reports that the US oil and gas industry contributes 8% to US GDP, a statistic that enables the US to have a more diverse discussion than Russia about the role that oil and gas may play in any future energy mix. That is unless you happen to be from the state of Alaska where US Arctic oil and gas is synonymous with Alaskan oil and gas, and where the US Geological Survey estimates 27% of global unex­plored oil reserves may lie. Though Alaska is responsible for only 4% of US oil and gas production, those revenues covered two-thirds of Alaska’s state budget in 2020 despite the state’s decline in crude production in 28 of the past 32 years since it peaked at 2 million B/D in 1988, according to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).

The paper reviews the formation prospects of two up-to-date forms of economic cooperation in the sphere of oil and gas production – outsourcing and clustering, as well as the schematic presentation of their implementation. The outsourcing means the execution of the functions on the systematic professional support of working efficiency of the business customer by the operation company under the permanent contract. The outsourcing allows the oil-gas producing company increasing its capitalization and profit amount. Therefore, the oil company can fix innovative, scientific and technological resources in its hands providing maximum meeting of business customers’ demands. The development of oil service cluster, in its turn, aims to provide the interaction of all corporate parties. The establishment of cluster unions in oil-gas field with the participation of petroleum service companies under the principles mentioned in the paper will contribute to the development of both oil-gas complex in a whole and petroleum service market.

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).

Abstract Instrumented aircraft measuring air composition in the Uinta Basin, Utah, during February 2012 and January-February 2013 documented dramatically different atmospheric ozone (O3) mole fractions. In 2012 O3 remained near levels of ∼40 ppb in a well-mixed 500–1000 m deep boundary layer while in 2013, O3 mole fractions >140 ppb were measured in a shallow (∼200 m) boundary layer. In contrast to 2012 when mole fractions of emissions from oil and gas production such as methane (CH4), non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) and combustion products such as carbon dioxide (CO2) were moderately elevated, in winter 2013 very high mole fractions were observed. Snow cover in 2013 helped produce and maintain strong temperature inversions that capped a shallow cold pool layer. In 2012, O3 and CH4 and associated NMHCs mole fractions were not closely related. In 2013, O3 mole fractions were correlated with CH4 and a suite of NMHCs identifying the gas field as the primary source of the O3 precursor NMHC emissions. In 2013 there was a strong positive correlation between CH4 and CO2 suggesting combustion from oil and natural gas processing activities. The presence of O3 precursor NMHCs through the depth of the boundary layer in 2013 led to O3 production throughout the layer. In 2013, O3 mole fractions increased over the course of the week-long episodes indicating O3 photochemical production was larger than dilution and deposition rates, while CH4 mole fractions began to level off after 3 days indicative of some air being mixed out of the boundary layer. The plume of a coal-fired power plant located east of the main gas field was not an important contributor to O3 or O3 precursors in the boundary layer in 2013.

During the period of depletion of the main oil reserves in fields entering the last stage of development due to the priority development of highly productive highly permeable reservoirs, an increasing proportion of residual reserves become difficult to recover.Therefore, it becomes relevant to use effective methods of increasing oil recovery in existing fields, most of the original volume of geological reserves remains in the deposits. One of these methods is unsteady waterflooding, which has proven its effectiveness in a number of fields.

Abstract Halite scaling has been observed in the oil/gas field with high TDS and low water cut. Due to its higher solubility, slight changes in temperature (T) and pressure (P) and evaporative effect could yield a large amount of scale, causing significant operational problems. Accurate prediction and control of halite scaling in the oil and gas production system have been a challenge. Therefore, this study aims to shed light on the prediction of halite scale formation, deposition behavior, and inhibition at close to oil field conditions. We have designed and developed a dynamic scale loop (DSL) test methodology that can be used at various T and P. The test method utilizes a change in temperature (ΔT) as a driving force to create halite supersaturation and follow with the scale precipitation/deposition. The tube blocking experiments suggest that the tube blockage can be caused by bulk precipitation and or deposition of halite precipitate. SEM analysis of the tube cross-sections indicated that tube blockage, presumably by bulk precipitation, could be seen at the beginning of the reaction tube, but deposition was observed towards the exit end of the tube. Similarly, various experimentation to simulate the water dilution at constant pressure and ΔT were conducted. The effect of the addition of water to prevent halite deposition was analyzed computationally by using ScaleSoftPitzer (SSP) software. Brine compatibility of several inhibitors were tested via bottle tests and autoclave tests and qualified inhibitors were tested in the tube blocking experiments to identify the performance of the inhibitor to treat the halite precipitation at high temperature and pressure. Overall, a robust test method was designed and developed for halite scaling under high temperature and pressure that can simulate the oil and gas production in the field.
