A procedure for pressure testing of small diameter pipelines (up to NPS 12) using air has been developed based on pilot test results conducted on a controlled simulated test section of a small volume = 18.5 m3. This paper describes the simulated test facility and presents results of five simulated tests with different size pinhole leaks. A model describing leaks and effects of variation in air temperature has been developed, and together with the test results, a criteria for the upper limit of pipe volume to leak area ratio for implementation of air testing for various pipe sizes, has been arrived at. The procedure was then developed and utilized on a project approved by the Alberta Energy Utility Board. Results of this test on a new 12.2 km NPS 8 pipeline lateral in Alberta are also presented.

The offshore pilot test of Exxon’s Submerged Production System (SPS) has reached a successful conclusion. This pilot test encompassed the entire spectrum of SPS equipment, spanning from the well completion intervals to, but not including, common surface processing and storage facilities. Since the SPS is designed to meet all the life cycle needs of a subsea field, one of the objectives of the pilot test was to evaluate both the techniques and the equipment used to install, operate, and maintain a prototype version of the SPS. The equipment under test was designed for use in water depths up to 2000 ft, but with minor modifications it is capable of operating in significantly greater depths. Evaluation of pilot test results has shown that the deep water installation techniques are practicable and that the deep water maintenance machinery is competent to repair any failures likely to occur in an operating system. One of the most significant problems in conducting the pilot test was achieving adequate quality control during equipment manufacture. The test results have demonstrated that, with relatively minor modifications, the SPS is suitable for commercial application.

Yellig, William F., SPE, Amoco Production Co. Abstract This paper presents results of an extensive study to understand CO2 displacement of Levelland (TX) reservoir oil. The work was conducted to support Levelland CO2 pilots currently in progress. Experimental displacement tests were conducted at various pressures, core lengths, and CO2 frontal advance rates. The experimental system included a novel analytical technique to obtain effluent compositional profiles within the oil-moving zone at test conditions. The results of this study show that at pressures greater than the CO2 minimum miscibility pressure (MMP), a multicontact miscible displacement mechanism predominates. Miscibility is developed in situ by vaporization or extraction-type mass transfer. The laboratory lengths required for CO2 to develop miscibility and exhibit miscible displacement efficiency were found dependent on the phase equilibria of the CO2/Levelland oil system. Displacements requiring the greatest length to develop miscibility were at pressures where single-contact mixtures of CO2 and Levelland oil form two liquid phases. A companion paper demonstrates the use of the analytical technique developed in this study to obtain process data from a CO2 field pilot test. In addition, the mechanistic information obtained from this study is used to interpret the process data from the pilot test. The results have application to other reservoir oils whose phase equilibria with CO2 are similar to the CO2/ Levelland oil system. Introduction Miscible CO2 flooding is developing rapidly as a commercial enhanced oil-recovery process. The successful design and interpretation of CO2 pilot tests and fieldwide floods are dependent on a good knowledge of the reservoir and the CO2 displacement process. The overall CO2 displacement process is shown schematically in Fig. 1. The main focus of this study concerned the oil moving zone (OMZ) and particularly the mechanisms by which this zone formed and by which CO2 displaced Levelland oil. Levelland oil was chosen because it is typical of many west Texas reservoir oils being considered for CO2 flooding. In addition, the CO2 pilot tests currently conducted in the Levelland field provide a direct application of this research. Several authors have discussed the displacement of reservoir oil by CO2. These discussions have centered around three primary displacement mechanisms: immiscible, multicontact or developed miscible, and contact miscible. In addition, two basic types of mass transfer have been postulated as responsible for the development of miscibility in a multicontact process: transfer of hydrocarbons from the in-place oil to the displacing CO2 (i.e., vaporization or extraction) and transfer of CO2 to the in-place oil (i.e., condensation). Vaporization and extraction are the same basic mass-transfer process. Vaporization refers to mass transfer from a liquid oil phase to a CO2-rich vapor phase and extraction refers to mass transfer from a liquid oil phase to a CO2-rich liquid phase. The distinction between vaporization and extraction is somewhat arbitrary in describing the CO2 process since it reflects the types of phases present only on first contact. One purpose of this paper is to present results of a comprehensive study to determine the mechanism by which CO2 displaces Levelland oil at reservoir conditions. SPEJ P. 805^

Abstract The nature of wellbore storage is such that afterflow during a pulse test can affect the reservoir pressure performance and can lead to the calculation of erroneous performance and can lead to the calculation of erroneous values for formation transmissibility and storage. This is most likely to occur when the wells of interest are close together or when after flow persists for a long time relative to the pulse length. This article describes a technique that was developed to account for the effects of after flow at the pulsing well during pulse testing of a small production pilot. The technique is not general because it requires that a computer-generated simulation of each pulse test be made. An application of the method is given. Introduction In carrying out a pulse test, we introduce a pressure disturbance into a reservoir by alternately increasing and decreasing the flow rate at the pulsing well in a known manner. The pressure at the responding well is monitored, and, if the wells are in pressure communication, the pressure distrubance eventually will affect the pressure at the responding well. Since the form and the duration of the flow, rate disturbance are known, and since the mathematics that describe the pressure behavior of fluid-beefing reservoirs are well understood, the pulse test pressure response can be predicted. Several methods are available to calculate values for formation transmissibility and storage within a pulse-tested reservoir. Although all real reservoirs are heterogeneous, the models for deriving these techniques assume that the reservoir is ideal. When the wells of interest are far apart or when the duration of after flow is short relative to the pulse length, the effects of wellbore storage on the pulse test results will be slight. If, on the other hand, the pulsing well and the responding well are close together or if after flow persists for a tong time, the effects of wellbore storage on the pulse test results may be substantial. The work described here began during the analysis phase of a series of pulse tests that were run in a small phase of a series of pulse tests that were run in a small pilot test area. Computer simulations of the tests showed pilot test area. Computer simulations of the tests showed that the method of Mondragon and Menzie would not compensate adequately for the strong effects of after flow on test results. Description of the Method Since a series of injection/falloff tests had been run in the pilot area, it was possible to obtain values for the ratio of formation transmissibility to the wellbore storage capacity, /F, at each well by type-curve matching techniques. Using this parameter, we can determine the after flow vs. time profiles that would occur during the pulsing-well shut-in periods and incorporate them into a computer simulation of each pulse test. A typical pulsing well-flow profile showing after flow during the shut-in period is profile showing after flow during the shut-in period is illustrated in Fig. 1. Given that the pulsing wells were observed to go on vacuum soon after shut-in and given that the wellbore storage capacity for these wells during the on-vacuum condition should be approximately two orders of magnitude larger than it would be during injection SPEJ p. 519
