Senoro Gas Development Project is one part of a joint project between Pertamina and Medco E&P in the field of oil and gas exploration, located in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Senoro gas field built a jetty as berthing facility with length around 500 m from the shore. Based on the survey results showed that significant wave height is 2.7 m height at jetty area, while the requirement for vessel berthing larger than 50.000DWT is 0.7 to 1.5 m. Therefore, pile breakwater was planning to build in Senoro jetty area to protect and to reduce the wave height. From bathymetry data shows that the water depth in front of the jetty is between 20-30m. In this case, breakwater conventional or rubble mound type will not be effective for this depth. Thus, pile breakwater is one of the solutions as protection structures for protecting the jetty area from wave attack. The objective of this study is to modeling the performance of pile breakwater to reduce wave height with numerical model. For this study, analysis of the performance of the breakwater is done with numerical model of computational fluid dynamic analysis. The results indicated that pile breakwater was able to reduce the wave height for safety berthing requirement.

AbstractProduced water (PW) from the oil/gas field is an important waste stream. Due to its highly pollutant nature and large volume of generation, the management of PW is a significant challenge for the petrochemical industry. The treatment of PW can improve the economic viability of oil and gas exploration, and the treated water can provide a new source of water in the water-scarce region for some beneficial uses. The reverse osmosis (RO) and selective nanofiltration (NF) membrane treatment of PW can reduce the salt and organic contents to acceptable levels for some beneficial uses, such as irrigation, and different industrial reuses. However, membrane fouling is a major obstacle for the membrane-based treatment of PW. In this review, the author discusses the polymeric membrane (mainly RO/NF) fouling during PW treatment. Membrane fouling mechanisms by various types of foulants, such as organic, inorganic, colloidal, and biological matters, are discussed. The review concludes with some of the measures to control fouling by membrane surface modification approaches.

A quantitative analysis of economic risk associated with large investments in offshore oil and gas field development and production is presented. The analysis is intended as a supporting tool in decision-making faced with uncertainty and risk, to study the effect of alternative decisions in an easy manner. The descriptors for the project assessment, such as the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Net Present Value (NPV) are applied. The study demonstrates first the impacts of early pilot production (EPP) prior to a main oil field development on the field economy of an oil field development and production installation. Furthermore, the result of cases which reflect relevant situations connected with cost overruns are presented, as well as derivation of rational decision criteria for termination/continuation of a project subjected to cost overruns. Finally, an oil field development project scheduling is demonstrated.

Oil And Gas Sector

The oil and gas sector is an important factor in sustainable development, so it is considered necessary to make serious changes in conducting economic analysis on the oil and gas business. Oil and gas industry activities consist of upstream activities, and downstream activities. Activities in these upstream and downstream operations have high risk, high costs and high technology, so the company continuously tries to reduce the importance of the adverse impact of these risks on the work environment and people. Thus, evaluating the factors that affect sustainable production in this sector becomes a necessity. In this research will be evaluated the economy of the oil and gas field using methods of economic indicators, among others; NPV, POT, ROR, where these factors are estimated in order to be able to estimate the prospects of the oil and gas field so that the decision that the field development project can be implemented or cannot be taken immediately. Implementation of oil and gas field economic evaluation in this study using Macro VBA Excel. From several methods of economic analysis obtained that the results of this study show high precision compared to other methods, in addition to the way of evaluation using the above economic indicators is very popular.

Distributary Channel

The Fluvial-dominated delta is one of the extremely important deposition systems in oil and gas exploration. In this paper, the three-dimensional numerical simulation of hydrodynamics has been applied to the precise analysis of the formation of fluvial-dominated deltas and the evolution of their distributary channels. The model has been created using the Delft3D program, and the conditions of the numerical model have been set according to the hydrodynamic characteristics of modern rivers and deltas. The calculation field was 20.5 km in length by 10 km in width. With the Mor-Factor set to 60, the simulation time was 45 days. The formation and the avulsion of the mouth bar, as well as the extension, migration and bifurcation of distributary channels, have been observed and studied through analysis of the simulation results. The vertical cross-section shows that the distributary channel was filled multiple times. According to distributary channel evolution characteristics combined with quantitative methods, the terminal distributary channels can be extremely developed under ideal conditions. Due to the cross-cutting and reform effort of distributary channels, sediments were spread widely and continuously. The results show that the numerical model works well in explaining the process of evolution in fluvial-dominated delta distributary channels. This study not only enables us to quantitatively understand the dynamic processes of terminal distributary channels in fluvial-dominated delta systems, but also provides a reference model for numerical simulation of hydrodynamics in sedimentology study.

Abstract In the era of all-encompassing Big Data and the Internet of Things (IoT), mastery of Instrument Control (I&C) and SCADA systems deployment is becoming more important as the Operational Technology (OT) foundation for digital integration, data gathering, processing, analytics, and the optimization of business results. Integration and communication between different I&C and SCADA products and systems in an Oil and Gas project represent a significant challenge. The issues encountered on projects globally can prolong project schedules from weeks to months with consequential impacts on commercial gas production, project cash flow, and economics. This paper presents how to enable digital operations through holistic design, well-organized kickoff, effective Integrated Factory Acceptance Test (IFAT), and timely commissioning of I&C and SCADA systems for surface facilities of a gas field development project. It provides a feasible, economical and proven solution to address the foregoing challenges. Furthermore, in this paper we present a snapshot of how to use the latest data-science technology to bring out the value of the gold mine - big data generated by the I&C and SCADA systems.

The quality of an oil and gas field development project depends greatly on the accuracy of forecasting the processes that occur in the pore space of reservoirs during the extraction of hydrocarbons under certain technolo-gical conditions in production wells. The forecasting is possible if there is a geological model of the field. The more detailed the model is, the more accurate the prediction will be. The whole amount of information used to create a geological model of a field is of discrete nature, and its level of detail is determined by the number of wells that have discovered pay formations. One of the most important elements of the geological model is the nature of changes in reservoir properties of productive formations along their stretch and perpendicular to bedding. The creation of elements of this type requires information from laboratory studies of core material, interpretation of the wells logging results and methods for predicting the nature of changes in reservoir properties in the interwell space. The presence of these elements makes it possible to investigate the situation in which sedimentation (within the existing wells) took place and what types of facies the geological sections of the drilled producing intervals correspond to. Lithofacial zoning of the productive formation according to this information makes it possible to trace the regularities of distribution of facies of various types, to establish their mutual location, and accordingly to predict the nature of changes in reservoir properties in the interwell space. The lack of a sufficient amount of core material is a typical problem that makes it difficult to identify facies. There is another way to solve this problem – this is the identification of facies according to the morphology of logging curves. Nowadays, this problem is solved at a qualitative level. In this paper, it is proposed to apply a quantitative method for identifying facies using an artificial neural network. In particular, the morphology of curves is formalized by a number of parameters that form the input vector of an artificial neural network. At the output of the network, the clusters of logging curves with a similar morpho-logy are formed. The authors refer these clusters to a certain type of facies analytically. On the basis of the information obtained, lithofacial zoning of the productive formations is carried out.
