This paper demonstrates a method of recovering the low pressure vapor from the condensate tanks in the Bibiyana gas field. This method uses a gas ejector as a device to compress the low pressure natural gas from the condensate tanks to an intermediate pressure, which would then be fed into the intermediated stage of the existing vapor recovery unit. Thus the natural gas will be saved which would have been otherwise flared. The amount of tank vapor is estimated by different methods, which shows a significant amount of gas is now being flared. Flaring of gas is a problem which entails both economic loss and environmental concerns. It is estimated that, on the average 190 MSCFD tank vapor can be recovered using the proposed method involving a gas ejector. Thus yearly saving would be about 68 MMSCF of natural gas. The equivalent heat energy saving is about 74.55X109 BTU. In terms of greenhouse gas emissions, this project will reduce about 1,112 tons of CO2 emissions per year in the gas plant locality.

Sulige Gas Field is located in the Suligemiao area, northwest of the Ordos Basin, with a prospecting area of about 4×104km2. Owing to the strong heterogeneity in the SQW Block, one of exploration blocks in the Sulige Gas Field, remains reservoir characteristics of the gas field: lithologic gas reservoirs with characteristics of “three low” (low pressure, low permeability and low abundance). The He8 member of the Shihezi formation, the major exploration target, is deposited in braided river environment. The conventional logging data is very useful to indentify different facies and to estimate gas potential. The technology of discrimination with sedimentary facies and gas layers using logging data is established in this paper. We use the technology combining with AVO and other exploration methods to pick out 4 favorable exploration target areas with the success rate of more than 80%.

Organic matter (OM) pores are significant for shale gas accumulation and flow mechanisms. The pores of Wufeng-Longmaxi (W-L) shale in the Sichuan Basin, China have been extensively characterized, however, the proportion of OM pores in this shale have not been adequately discussed. In this study, the contribution of OM pores to the total pore volume of W-L shale was quantitatively studied through the analysis of OM isolation, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and low-pressure CO2 and N2 adsorption (LPGA). FE-SEM images showed abundant OM pores, interparticle pores and intraparticle pores with various shapes and widths in the W-L shales. The pore size distribution (PSD) of the isolated OM from five shale samples showed a consistent, unimodal pattern. The pore volume of isolated OM was greater than that of the bulk shale samples, suggesting that OM is more porous than the inorganic compositions in shales. The average contribution of OM to the volumes of micropores, mesopores and macropores was 58.42%, 10.34% and 10.72%, respectively. Therefore, the pore volume of the W-L shale was dominantly related to inorganic minerals. This was probably due to the small weight ratio of OM in the shale samples (1.5 wt%–4.2 wt%). The findings of this study reveal the different effects of OM and minerals on pore development, and provide new insights into the quantitative contribution of OM pores to the total pore volume of the W-L shale.

Along with large scale application of cluster wells in Sulige gas field, the common low pressure flow meter can not be used in metering single well production with connecting wells in series. For this reason, we have developed a flow metering instrument of natural gas, which has the features of high static pressure, low differential pressure and high precision. Installed at the high pressure end of gas production wellhead, the instrument can bear 40Mpa static high pressure and has the features such as low pressure loss, broad measuring range, small temperature drift, high precision, long service life, solid, low cost and so on. With required measurement accuracy and resistance to pressure, which have been verified by the wide application, the instrument gave a solution to metering single well production of cluster wells.

Because the coal-bed methane field is influenced by factors such as low pressure, slow velocity, terrain, and condensed water, which lead to the fact that the design is different from gathering design of conventional gas field, how to make full use of wellhead pressure and maximize the wellhead pressure ability is an important link of surface engineering optimization. Therefore, we need to analyze the factors which influence the pressure drop of the gas-gathering pipe network to improve the efficiency of the coal-bed methane field surface gathering. We first contrasted the two hydraulic analysis software (PIPEPHASE and TGNET) for the analysis of coal seam gas field adaptability. By comparing the simulation results with the actual data, we found that the PIPEPHASE software is better to analyze the hydraulic situation of pipe network in the coal-bed methane field. Then, using PIPEPHASE for network simulation and contrasting the 9 state equations and 26 kinds of pressure drop formula calculation results, SRK state equation and BBM pressure drop formula are recommended. We analyze the inlet temperature, pressure, and other nine factors affecting gas extraction pipeline pressure drop according to the practical experience and put forward the suggestions as follows: (1) in order to reduce the pressure drop and increase the ability of pipeline, burying pipeline under the permafrost and improving the inlet pressure are suggested; (2) The higher the inlet pressure, the more obvious the pipeline efficiency influences the pipeline pressure drop, so the inlet pressure and pipeline efficiency should be reasonably controlled in order to reduce the pressure drop; (3) The higher the pipeline pressure, the greater the wall roughness influences the pipeline pressure drop, also the greater the pressure can damage, so we should try to use small wall roughness materials.
