Monoethylene Glycol

Monoethylene glycol (MEG) is being widely applied as thermodynamic inhibitor to avoid formation of natural gas hydrates. High hydrophilicity, low toxicity, low viscosity, low solubility in liquid hydrocarbons and high capacity of dissolving salts are advantageous for the use of MEG in the natural gas production. In addition, MEG recovery can be easily achieved considering its low volatility in relation to water, which makes the process economical and environmentally feasible. The reuse of MEG is being theme of research and phase equilibrium data for the involved species are required. In this work, a experimental procedure to synthetize iron carbonate and, afterwards, determine its solubility in aqueous mixtures of MEG in the presence of carbon dioxide atmosphere have been developed. Furthermore, a series of solubility data has been measured. This work presents a worthy contribution to the description of iron carbonate aqueous solubilities in the presence of MEG and carbon dioxide, regarding the instability of the salt to respect of oxidation. Subsequently, the knowledge of the behavior of the iron carbonate solubilities is useful for the industrial unities of production of natural gas and recovery of MEG.

Gas Recovery

The object of research is gas condensate reservoirs, which is being developed under the conditions of the manifestation of the water drive of development and the negative effect of formation water on the process of natural gas production. The results of the performed theoretical and experimental studies show that a promising direction for increasing hydrocarbon recovery from fields at the final stage of development is the displacement of natural gas to producing wells by injection non-hydrocarbon gases into productive reservoirs. The final gas recovery factor according to the results of laboratory studies in the case of injection of non-hydrocarbon gases into productive reservoirs depends on the type of displacing agent and the level heterogeneity of reservoir. With the purpose update the existing technologies for the development of fields in conditions of the showing of water drive, the technology of injection carbon dioxide into productive reservoirs at the boundary of the gas-water contact was studied using a digital three-dimensional model of a gas condensate deposit. The study was carried out for various values of the rate of natural gas production. The production well rate for calculations is taken at the level of 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 thousand m3/day. Based on the data obtained, it has been established that an increase in the rate of natural gas production has a positive effect on the development of a productive reservoir and leads to an increase in the gas recovery factor. Based on the results of statistical processing of the calculated data, the optimal value of the rate of natural gas production was determined when carbon dioxide is injected into the productive reservoir at the boundary of the gas-water contact is 55.93 thousand m3/day. The final gas recovery factor for the optimal natural gas production rate is 64.99 %. The results of the studies carried out indicate the technological efficiency of injecting carbon dioxide into productive reservoirs at the boundary of the gas-water contact in order to slow down the movement of formation water into productive reservoirs and increase the final gas recovery factor.

This paper focuses on reviewing the currently available solutions for natural gas production from methane hydrate deposits using CO2 sequestration. Methane hydrates are ice-like materials, which form at low temperature and high pressure and are located in permafrost areas and oceanic environments. They represent a huge hydrocarbon resource, which could supply the entire world for centuries. Fossil-fuel-based energy is still a major source of carbon dioxide emissions which contribute greatly to the issue of global warming and climate change. Geological sequestration of carbon dioxide appears as the safest and most stable way to reduce such emissions for it involves the trapping of CO2 into hydrocarbon reservoirs and aquifers. Indeed, CO2 can also be sequestered as hydrates while helping dissociate the in situ methane hydrates. The studies presented here investigate the molecular exchange between CO2 and CH4 that occurs when methane hydrates are exposed to CO2, thus generating the release of natural gas and the trapping of carbon dioxide as gas clathrate. These projects include laboratory studies on the synthesis, thermodynamics, phase equilibrium, kinetics, cage occupancy, and the methane recovery potential of the mixed CO2–CH4 hydrate. An experimental and numerical evaluation of the effect of porous media on the gas exchange is described. Finally, a few field studies on the potential of this new gas hydrate recovery technique are presented.
