In producing oil, one of the common problems faced by oil and gas companies is the production of a lot of water. Increased water production causes the storage tank to be unable to accommodate the produced water. To overcome the excess water production, some of the water is injected back into the well. In Field A, an innovation has been made for a water injection pump with the driving force coming from the Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) pump. The working principle of this ESP pump is to drain water from the disposal well to the injection well. Therefore, in order for the injection to run optimally, synchronization is carried out starting from the water entering the holding tank, the flow rate in the Disposal well and the pump capacity (ESP) for injecting from the holding well to the injection well. The amount of water flow rate injected through the ESP pump is 9,500 BWPD. For this reason, the capacity of the ESP pump as an injection pump is calculated. First, determine the water level in the tank to control the amount of flow that enters the reservoir well. Based on the results of the research that has been done, the water level in the holding tank to get a flow rate of 9,500 BWPD is 4.11 ft. And the results of the calculation of water will be injected using an ESP pump with a number of stages 22 with the TRW Reda Pump Devision pump type. The water will be channeled to the injection well with a type of galvanized iron pipe with a diameter of the main pipe (mainline) of 6 inches. From the disposal well, it flows with a 4 inch pipe as far as 45.93 ft and a 2 inch pipe as far as 2214.57 ft for well 07. As for wells 60, the flowline size is 4 inches as far as 708.66 ft and 2 inches as far as 987.53 ft.

The optimum operation conditions of a raw water source heat pump for a vertical water treatment building were derived by changing operation parameters, such as temperature of thermal storage tank, temperature and inlet air flow rate of the conditioned spaces, and circulating water flow rate between thermal storage tank and air handling unit (AHU) through dynamic simulator of a transient system simulation program (TRNSYS). Minimum electric power consumption was found at temperature of thermal storage tank, which was ranged 18–23°C for cooling season. In heating season, temperature 40–45°C brings the highest coefficient of performance (COP) and temperature range of 30–35°C brings the lowest power consumption. When the temperature of the conditioned spaces was controlled between 27–28°C for cooling season, and 18–20°C for heating season the minimum electric power consumption was obtained. Inlet air flow rate of 1.1 m3/h for the conditioned spaces shows the highest performance of the present system, and effects of circulating water flow rate between thermal storage tank and AHU on minimum electric power consumption of the system were negligible.

Dynamic characteristics of offshore natural gas hydrate (NGH) dissociation will provide the theoretical basis to analyze technical issues of oceanic hydrate exploitation. A mathematical model is developed to simulate offshore NGH dissociation by depressurization in marine sediments. Different phase combination statuses are involved in the process of NGH dissociation by taking ice melting and water freezing into account. The proposed methodology can analyze the processes of hydrate and water phase transitions, decomposition kinetics and thermodynamics, viscosity and permeability, ice-water phase equilibrium, and natural gas and water production. A set of an experimental system is built and consists of one 3-D visual reactor vessel, one isothermal seawater vessel, one natural gas and water separator, and one data acquisition unit. The experiments on offshore NGH dissociation by depressurization in 3-D marine sediments are carried out, and this methodology is validated against the full-scale experimental data measured. The results show that during the prophase, natural gas flow is preceded by water flow into the production wellbore and natural gas occupies more continuous flow channels than water under a large pressure gradient. Then, the natural gas flow rate begins to decline accompanied by an increase of water production. During the second phase, natural gas flow rate decreases slowly because of the decreased temperature of hydrate-bearing formation and low pressure gradient. The lower the intrinsic permeability in marine sediments, the later the water flow rate reaches the peak production. And the space interval of the production wellbore should be enlarged by an increase of the intrinsic permeability. The stable period of natural gas production enhances, and the water flow rate reduces with the increase of bottom-hole pressure in production wellbores. The main reason is the slow offshore NGH dissociation under the low producing pressure and the restriction of heat conductivity under the low temperature.

This paper discusses some research results that were carried out to optimize the fire extinguishment system of X Station in South Sumatera. To optimize the fire extinguishing system at station X, a system modification has been done, which included: changes in the number of stockpile tank units, changes in capacity and dimensions of oil tanks, and changes in fire wall construction. With the change in capacity and dimensions, especially the storage tank unit, it is necessary to recalculate whether the water demand in the fire protection system is still sufficient according to the existing system condition. From this research, it can be concluded that the maximum flow rate of foam under the existing condition is 1631.6 gpm while the optimum ondition is 65% smaller than the existing system condition at 570.54 gpm. The cooling water flow rate of 615.09 gpm at optimum ondition is lower than the existing system conditions of 1409.33 gpm. The required water to the fire extinguishment system is 250 gpm; this value is smaller than the existing system capacity of 2074 gpm. By using performance curves of Grundfos Data Booklet, for the capacity of pump 1250 gpm, the total head pump and pump efficiency are obtained 103.48 m and 77.5 %, respectively.

In situ shale or kerogen oil production is a promising approach to developing vast oil shale resources and increasing world energy demand. In this study, cyclic subcritical water injection in oil shale was investigated in laboratory conditions as a method for in situ oil shale retorting. Fifteen non-extracted oil shale samples from Bazhenov Formation in Russia (98 °C and 23.5 MPa reservoir conditions) were hydrothermally treated at 350 °C and in a 25 MPa semi-open system during 50 h in the cyclic regime. The influence of the artificial maturation on geochemical parameters, elastic and microstructural properties was studied. Rock-Eval pyrolysis of non-extracted and extracted oil shale samples before and after hydrothermal exposure and SARA analysis were employed to analyze bitumen and kerogen transformation to mobile hydrocarbons and immobile char. X-ray computed microtomography (XMT) was performed to characterize the microstructural properties of pore space. The results demonstrated significant porosity, specific pore surface area increase, and the appearance of microfractures in organic-rich layers. Acoustic measurements were carried out to estimate the alteration of elastic properties due to hydrothermal treatment. Both Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio decreased due to kerogen transformation to heavy oil and bitumen, which remain trapped before further oil and gas generation, and expulsion occurs. Ultimately, a developed kinetic model was applied to match kerogen and bitumen transformation with liquid and gas hydrocarbons production. The nonlinear least-squares optimization problem was solved during the integration of the system of differential equations to match produced hydrocarbons with pyrolysis derived kerogen and bitumen decomposition.

A36 Steel

Underwater wet welding (UWW) combined with the shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) method has proven to be an effective way of permanently joining metals that can be performed in water. This research was conducted to determine the effect of water flow rate on the physical and mechanical properties (tensile, hardness, toughness, and bending effect) of underwater welded bead on A36 steel plate. The control variables used were a welding speed of 4 mm/s, a current of 120 A, electrode E7018 with a diameter of 4 mm, and freshwater. The results show that variations in water flow affected defects, microstructure, and mechanical properties of underwater welds. These defects include spatter, porosity, and undercut, which occur in all underwater welding results. The presence of flow and an increased flow rate causes differences in the microstructure, increased porosity on the weld metal, and undercut on the UWW specimen. An increase in water flow rate causes the acicular ferrite microstructure to appear greater, and the heat-affected zone (HAZ) will form finer grains. The best mechanical properties are achieved by welding with the highest flow rate, with a tensile strength of 534.1 MPa, 3.6% elongation, a Vickers microhardness in the HAZ area of 424 HV, and an impact strength of 1.47 J/mm2.

The thermal deformation of high-speed motorized spindle will affect its reliability, so fully considering its thermal characteristics is the premise of optimal design. In order to study the thermal characteristics of high-speed motorized spindles, a coupled model of thermal-flow-structure was established. Through experiment and simulation, the thermal characteristics of spiral cooling motorized spindle are studied, and the U-shaped cooled motorized spindle is designed and optimized. The simulation results show that when the diameter of the cooling channel is 7 mm, the temperature of the spiral cooling system is lower than that of the U-shaped cooling system, but the radial thermal deformation is greater than that of the U-shaped cooling system. As the increase of the channel diameter of U-shaped cooling system, the temperature and radial thermal deformation decrease. When the diameter is 10 mm, the temperature and radial thermal deformation are lower than the spiral cooling system. And as the flow rate increases, the temperature and radial thermal deformation gradually decrease, which provides a basis for a reasonable choice of water flow rate. The maximum error between experiment and simulation is 2°C, and the error is small, which verifies the accuracy and lays the foundation for future research.

Borehole Heat Exchangers

Geothermal energy can be useful after extraction from geothermal wells, borehole heat exchangers and/or natural sources. Types of geothermal boreholes are geothermal wells (for geothermal water production and injection) and borehole heat exchangers (for heat exchange with the ground without mass transfer). The purpose of geothermal production wells is to harvest the geothermal water present in the aquifer. They often involve a pumping chamber. Geothermal injection wells are used for injecting back the produced geothermal water into the aquifer, having harvested the energy contained within. The paper presents the parameters of geothermal boreholes in Poland (geothermal wells and borehole heat exchangers). The definitions of geothermal boreholes, geothermal wells and borehole heat exchangers were ordered. The dates of construction, depth, purposes, spatial orientation, materials used in the construction of geothermal boreholes for casing pipes, method of water production and type of closure for the boreholes are presented. Additionally, production boreholes are presented along with their efficiency and the temperature of produced water measured at the head. Borehole heat exchangers of different designs are presented in the paper. Only 19 boreholes were created at the Laboratory of Geoenergetics at the Faculty of Drilling, Oil and Gas, AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow; however, it is a globally unique collection of borehole heat exchangers, each of which has a different design for identical geological conditions: heat exchanger pipe configuration, seal/filling and shank spacing are variable. Using these boreholes, the operating parameters for different designs are tested. The laboratory system is also used to provide heat and cold for two university buildings. Two coefficients, which separately characterize geothermal boreholes (wells and borehole heat exchangers) are described in the paper.
