Based on the experience of developing an oil fieled on the Caspian Sea shelf, which was initially operated with injection of seawater into oil-bearing seams to maintain reservoir pressure, a forecast was made for the deposition of sulfate salts in reservoir conditions. The forecast of sulphate deposition is carried out in two ways: analytical calculations by the method of J.E. Oddo and M.B. Thomson and computer modeling. The prognosis took into account the strontium content in the reservoir waters of the deposit, which is usually ignored in oilfield practice. It has been established that computer modeling gives a more accurate prediction, in particular, considerably expands the temperature limits of anhydrite precipitation. The determination of the amount of potentially sulphate salts potentially found in computer simulations has shown that the mass of deposited calcium and strontium sulfates is large enough that it can significantly reduce the permeability of the reservoir.

Abstract One of the most critical parameters of the CO2 injection (for EOR purposes) is the Minimum Miscibility Pressure MMP. The determination of this parameter is crucial for the success of the operation. Different experimental, analytical, and statistical technics are used to predict the MMP. Nevertheless, experimental technics are costly and tedious, while correlations are used for specific reservoir conditions. Based on that, the purpose of this paper is to build machine learning models aiming to predict the MMP efficiently and in broad-based reservoir conditions. Two ML models are proposed for both pure CO2 and non-pure CO2 injection. An important amount of data collected from literature is used in this work. The ANN and SVR-GA models have shown enhanced performance comparing to existing correlations in literature for both the pure and non-pure models, with a coefficient of R2 0.98, 0.93 and 0.96, 0.93 respectively, which confirms that the proposed models are reliable and ready to use.

As the reservoir conditions are in continuous changing during its life, well production rateand its performance will change and it needs to re-model according to the current situationsand to keep the production rate as high as possible.Well productivity is affected by changing in reservoir pressure, water cut, tubing size andwellhead pressure. For electrical submersible pump (ESP), it will also affected by numberof stages and operating frequency.In general, the production rate increases when reservoir pressure increases and/or water cutdecreases. Also the flow rate increase when tubing size increases and/or wellhead pressuredecreases. For ESP well, production rate increases when number of stages is increasedand/or pump frequency is increased.In this study, a nodal analysis software was used to design one well with natural flow andother with ESP. Reservoir, fluid and well information are taken from actual data of Mishrifformation-Nasriya oil field/ NS-5 well. Well design steps and data required in the modelwill be displayed and the optimization sensitivity keys will be applied on the model todetermine the effect of each individual parameter or when it combined with another one.

AbstractThe oil density at the bubble point is an important thermodynamic property required in reservoir simulation and production engineering. A higher-accuracy estimate of this property would improve the accuracy of reservoir and production engineering calculations. The bubble point oil density is obtained either from separator tests of reservoir fluids or from differential gas liberation tests. A new procedure utilizing separator and differential tests is proposed whereby the experimental data yield a unique value with high accuracy for the bubble point oil density. A consistent correction of other PVT properties, which are influenced by the bubble point oil density, is required to reflect the unique density value. A quantitative quality control index is defined to measure the quality of PVT laboratory reports. This is achieved by utilizing the unique property of the bubble point oil density, which is usually ignored.

The method described herein employs low-current de-arc excitation, short exposure times, and a selected portion of the analytical gap to analyze small amounts (0.33–1.0 mg) of carbonate samples mixed with graphite for their strontium content. Repeatability of the method is 6%.

The article deals with the issue of salt content in brick buildings, which plays an important role in the assessment of the technical condition, in particular of historic buildings. A question has been asked about the selection of the best research method to determine the salinity of mineral materials. To obtain the answer, the authors conducted some tests on ceramic bricks salted with seven types of salt solutions. Research methods such as: spectrophotometry (UV), ion chromatography (High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)), X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (XRF) and Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS) were compared. The above methods belong to two groups: the first is based on aqueous extracts and allows the determination of water-soluble salts, and the second concerns testing directly on the sample so that insoluble salts can also be determined. The results tests indicate that the methods based on solid phases (XRF and EDS) give higher salinity values than those based on aqueous extracts (HPLC and UV). The results were also analysed with regard to the type of salt. Larger differences are observed for sulphate salts while chloride salts are characterised by smaller differences. On this basis, it is concluded that the salt content of the material is best assessed using tests that make it possible to recognise the salt in question and its quantity.
