The observed instability of the oil and gas market makes it necessary to intensify the exploratory scientific research for the development of advanced and inexpensive pumping and compressor equipment intended for oil and gas production and treatment. The ongoing research work is being undertaken with a view to modernize well-known technical solutions and develop new scientific principles for gas compression with the use of labyrinth compressors. From the published materials, it became known that when designing labyrinth pumps, the screw auger on the pump rotor can be replaced with a set of vane wheels. This design approach should be transferred from the field of pumping technology to the field of compressor technology as well. At the initial stage of such research microlevel models of new turbocompressors have been developed to test their performance. Further, was made the transition from the low-cost physical experiments with micro-level models to a deeper study of the working process for the basic model of the compressor with the screw rotor. 3D-model development was carried out with the use of the SolidWorks 3D CAD-system. In order to undertake a calculation study, the FloEFD software package of computational fluid dynamics developed by Mentor Graphics Corporation has been used. The results of the research findings can be used for the development of energy-efficient technologies for the compression and pumping of various gases. The development of cheaper and more economical pump-compressor units will allow for the solution of urgent hydrocarbon exploration and production problems in abnormal operating conditions. Based on similar compressor units, there is a possibility to develop other sectors of science and technology as well.

Compressor Equipment

The oil and gas market is unstable, which requires intensification of the exploratory research for working advanced and inexpensive pumping and compressor equipment out. Such equipment is crucial for more efficient hydrocarbon production. The ongoing research work is being undertaken to search and study new technical opportunities to develop advanced pumping and compressor equipment adapted to the complicated conditions of oil and gas production in solid abrasive particles in the flow of the pumped medium. New technology for gas compression has been evolved and further patented. The technology utilized a jet compressor unit to assist a turned on ejector while in the cyclic mode. Pulsed cycling of the ejector in contrary to continuous operation, increases the compression ratio of the multiplied gas. The energy recovery technology has been evolved, and further patented io increase the energy efficiency in the jet compressor unit. This technology applies a particular mesh turbine located at the flow part. The evolvement of smart turbines and compressor units was thoroughly researched. 3D-models have been developed in SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD system. The FloEFD software package of computational fluid dynamics has been used for computer modeling. In laboratory conditions, the performance of the mesh turbine prototype equipped with the jet control system has been successfully tested. Efficient and cheap compressor units solve many urgent issues in production connected with hydrocarbons extraction in harsh environments and those, which occur at the later stages of developing oil and gas fields. Specific research results can be used in other domains, including energy, transport, and robotics.

Abstract Components and tubulars in down-hole applications for oil and gas production must withstand severe wear (e.g. erosion, abrasion, rod wear) and corrosion environments. These challenges can be addressed through boronizing of steels achieved employing chemical vapour deposition-based process. This process permits protection of the entire working surfaces of production tubulars up to 12m in length, as well as various sizes of complex shaped components. The performance of these tubulars and components have been evaluated in abrasion, erosion, and corrosion conditions simulating the environment and service conditions experienced in down-hole oil and gas production. Harsh service conditions are very common in the oil industry and the combination of abrasion, friction-induced wear, erosion, and corrosion environments can be quite normal in wells producing with the assistance of artificial lift methods. The boronized steel products demonstrated significantly higher performance in terms of material loss when exposed to harsh operating conditions granting a significant extension of the component service life in wear and corrosion environments. As opposed to many coating technologies, the boronizing process provides high integrity finished products without spalling or delamination on the working surface and minimal dimensional changes. Successful application of tubulars and components with the iron boride protective layer in oil and gas production will be discussed and presented.

Currently, there is a need to improve the systems and control of pumping equipment in the oil and gas production and oil and gas transport industries. Therefore, an adaptive neural network control system for an electric drive of a production well was developed. The task of expanding the functional capabilities of asynchronous electric motors control of the oil and gas production system using the methods of neural networks is solved. We have developed software modules of the well drive control system based on the neural network, an identification system, and a scheme to adapt the control processes to changing load parameters, that is, to dynamic load, to implement the entire system for real-time control of the highspeed process. In this paper, based on a model of an identification block that includes a multilayered neural network of direct propagation, the control of the well system was implemented. The neural network of the proposed system was trained on the basis of the error back-propagation algorithm, and the identification unit works as a forecaster of system operation modes based on the error prediction. In the initial stage of the model adaptation, some fluctuations of the torque are observed at the output of the neural network, which is associated with new operating conditions and underestimated level of learning. However, the identification object and control system is able to maintain an error at minimum values and adapt the control system to a new conditions, which confirms the reliability of the proposed scheme.

Complicated Conditions

The research is aimed at the development of new scientific principles for the creation of special pumping equipment for the extraction of oil and gas in complicated conditions. In many cases, the complicated operating conditions of the pump are determined by the high gas content and high content of mechanical impurities in the multiphase flow. In the course of scientific research, new methods of designing hydraulic machines were tested, including the use of additive technologies. In the study of labyrinth pumps, the issues were considered concerning the features of the operating process with increased rotor speed. New design of the rotor manufactured using additive technologies was discussed. It is shown that the rotor screw in a labyrinth pump can be replaced by a set of impellers, for example, by a set of centrifugal wheels or a set of axial wheels. New results concerning labyrinth pumps can give impetus to the development of research on hydraulic and gas turbines, as well as on heat engines. Some results of the works performed can be used to create robotics.

Mathematical And Numerical Simulation

Application of scale inhibitors in oil and gas production is aimed at mitigating scale blockage during production. Many experimental, mathematical, and numerical simulation modeling works have been carried out to evaluate behavior, performance, and interaction of the scale inhibitor chemicals within porous media in relation to their efficiency in solving scale problem. However, the mechanisms underpinning scale inhibitors performance are not well published. Some research works have shown theoretically that not all scale inhibitors pumped into the formation adsorb onto the formation rock. Some of the inhibitors may adsorb on produced loose sand grains or colloidal fine sand particles which float and flow within the pore spaces along with the scale inhibitor mostly in unconsolidated reservoirs This paper provides a review of research work on the effect of produced loose sand or colloidal fine particles flow on polyphosphonates and polyphosphinopolymer scale inhibitors performances during crude production.

An oil company sought to identify bottlenecks in three of their main oil and gas production networks. It was desired to, therefore, develop the entire production network from wells, flowlines, intra-field and inter-field pipelines, and export pipelines up to the onshore terminal first stage separator/slug catcher, all in the transient multi-phase-flow oil and gas (OLGA) simulator. Furthermore, the detailed topsides facilities were separately modelled in a process simulator. The OLGA and process simulator models were subsequently integrated, where the flow simulator model received boundary pressures from the topsides model and pushed through the mass flows of the individual phases into the process simulator. After field-matching and tuning the integrated models to the given field data, optimising the overall fields’ production and performance was carried out, powered by a market-leading optimisation engine. The main optimisation parameters were: wellhead choke openings; gas lift rates and allocations; and topsides operating conditions, facility constraints and control tuning parameters. The network models were used to investigate the dynamic behaviour of wells and pipelines as well as surface process facilities equipment and control systems, with the aim to improve productivity of the entire field networks. The development of the integrated and dynamic well, pipeline and process models is part of company initiatives to facilitate the design and operational support tools for the company’s engineers.
