Paradigm Shift from Cemented Completions to Multi-Stage Completion Strategy for Managing Tight Gas Development Challenges

The development of North Kuwait Jurassic gas assets has strategic importance for Kuwait's production strategy as the only non-associated gas-producing field in Kuwait. This paper demonstrates the benefits, challenges and lessons learned of the recent paradigm shift in Jurassic tight gas wells’ completion strategy from cemented liner to multi-stage completion. Successful expansion of Multi-Stage Completion (MSC) technology is achieved at the field level led by the integrated team efforts in 2020/21, despite challenging constraints of COVID-19. MSC's help to enhance overall well production potential, overcome reservoir and intervention operation challenges, and allow early production delivery, which is a key factor to achieve a strategic asset production target of 70-80% by 2024/25. Many technical and logistic challenges were experienced during first installations of which the relevant learnings will be shared in this paper. The Jurassic gas asset produces mainly from deep high pressure and temperature, conventional and unconventional tight carbonate reservoirs. The recovery from such complex heterogeneous reservoirs is extremely challenging if conventional development strategies are applied. Therefore, a dedicated full development plan applying integrated upstream and downstream technologies is important to achieve the strategic production target. Due to the excessive Jurassic carbonate reservoir tightness, permeability contrast and dual permeability effect (matrix and natural fractures), well productivity potential significantly depends on the effectiveness of subsequent stimulation treatments of such complex heterogeneous reservoirs to improve well productivity and potentially connect with natural fractures. Selecting proper well completion design is critical to overcome such reservoir challenges and ensure effective acid stimulation treatments for the mix of conventional and unconventional formations that need convenient diversion mechanism during stimulation to enhance the productivity of each individual reservoir flow unit and enable selective future flexibility of re-stimulation and reservoir management. The asset team has recently applied a step change in completion strategy to open hole multi-stage ball drop completions using state of the art MSC technologies including closeable frac sleeves, full 3.5-in monobore ID post frac sleeves milling and debris sub enclosure to protect the MSC string during casing tie-back operations. This is to overcome reservoir complexity, eliminate wellbore cleaning and decrease the challenges and risks that accompany multiple perforation intervention operations. As well as, eliminate cement quality risks and uncertainties, improve overall cost, and fast track well delivery to production to meet asset production targets by significantly reducing operation time from approximately one month for plug and perf techniques to less than one week when using continuous and less subsurface intervention operations. Recently, a total of 13 new MSC installations and subsequent multi-stage stimulations were achieved in seven months, fromQ3-2020 to Q1-2021, with positive overall production results, significant improvement of intervention operation efficiency and faster well delivery to production. This paper will describe the details of progress to date, and the plan forward for optimization and new technology trials to further improve well performance.

Hydrocyclone optimisation to separate oil and water in the separator

The conventional 3-phase separator installed cannot anticipate the increase in fluid flow so that the oil content carried into the produced water from the separator consistently exceeds the upper operating threshold. This study aimed to test the application of a hydrocyclone device to a 3-phase horizontal separator. Hydrocyclones are widely used as auxiliary devices to optimise oil separation by minimising oil carried into the produced water stream. This study made a comparison between installing a hydro cyclone at the inlet with a 3-phase horizontal separator. Applying a hydrocyclone at the inlet of a 3-phase horizontal separator increases the efficiency of the separation process in production. Proper design improvements with Hysys and flow characteristics with CFD can reduce the oil content carried in the produced water stream below 20 mg/l. The results of this study can support de-bottlenecking to increase production to a production target of above 375 kbps. A robust application of engineered hydrocyclones with correct production and operating shrouds has been experienced to optimise the separation process by up to 92%.

The intensification of industrial salt production using the salt production house concept

The current national salt demand in 2021 is 4.6 million tons, 84% of it: for manufacturing purposes. The volume of imported salt reaches 50.29 percent of the national saltavailability. This high import is caused by lack of the industrial salt. In the 2020-2024 RPJMN, the total national salt production target in 2021 is 3 million tons, not enough, due to the natural conditions of high rainfall. KKP and Kemenkomarves are targeting to increase production through intensification and extensification of salt pond land, which is planned to be carried out in Flores and Sumbawa. However, according to our rough calculation, to meet the amount of national salt need, if the choice is the extensification: this will need 20 thousand hectares of newponds. This is hard option to proceed, because there are obstacles: limited land, not all types of land can be used for salt farming, high costs, long land clearing time, and dependence on weather. Plus, the negative impact on the environment from the land conversion. What is the alternative solution?This study aims to figure the solution for improving the industrial salt production. Methods are the analytical descriptive study, collecting data with reference studies, then compiling data for the formulation of the model. Study results: the suitable option to do is the intensification of the salt production. More efforts are needed on the intensification, by increasing the quantity of salt production, parallel with improving its quality, and could continuously producing salt in a full year. To fulfill this, this study recommends a technological engineering approachment, by using a combination of the Japanese Method with the closed system called: the Salt Production House (SPH). The SPH is green and sustainable concept, because it consumes renewable energy, effective and require a small area. This method requires no new land clearing since it could be constructed on the existing salt ponds.

Towards Achieving Indonesia's Oil Production Target of 1 MMBOPD by 2030: An Outlook from IATMI Norway

Indonesia has become a net-oil importer since 2004 as the growing internal demand exceeds Indonesia's oil production. As many fields go into mature phase and combined with other challenges, the national oil production in the last decade has been decreasing from 945 MBOPD to 745 MBOPD with a decline rate of 3-5% per year. Thus, the contribution of the oil and gas sector to the state revenues has also shown a downward trend from 21% in 2010 to only 9.2% in 2019. However,oil production is still strategically importantfor the national economy. It is important for economic value creation, power generation, transportation, and industries as most of the archipelago's infrastructures are still based on fossil energy. If no effort is made to increase production, the country will be fullydependent on crude oil imports, which poses a threat to national energy security. It is thereforeinthe nation's great interest to enhance oil production, minimizing the deficit gapbetween export and import. Several key strategies may be considered to achieve this ambitious target. These strategies can be categorized into the following: 1) People and high performing organization; 2) Exploration, as critical factor for future production; 3) Improved oil recovery (including enhancedoil recovery) technologies, to grow production from the maturing fields; 4) Fast track and simplified project to develop small field discoveries; 5) Strong collaboration between government, industry, academia, and professional associations; and 6)Cost conscious culture. The derivatives of the above-mentioned strategies are among others: standardized resource data management, open source & digitalized geoscience data library, reimbursement system for exploration costs, near field/infrastructure exploration,new play concept, cluster license collaboration, infill wells campaign, multilateral wells, waterflooding, gas injection, stimulation and hydraulic fracturing campaign, well interventions, EOR screening, perfect-well optimization, standardize subsea and/or topside production system, digitalization, and attractive fiscal and regulation that encourages not only the ‘big operator’ to participate in the petroleum sector. The foundation of these strategies should be the legal certainty and effective & proactive bureaucracy. Above all, it is also important to emphasize the common ground of havingearly HSE involvement as part of the solution. In this paper, the authors would like to contribute in sharing the knowledge, technology and perspectives to all petroleum industry professionals in Indonesia based on the authors exposure in the Norwegian petroleum activities. The paper will also review the strategies, short term and long-term opportunities that may inspire Indonesian petroleum authorities and industry in transforming the ambition into action to achieve the national production target of 1 MMBOPD and 12 BCFD gas by 2030.

The Challenges and Lessons Learned from the Unanticipated Long Run Well Unloading Campaign in T Field, Malaysia

This paper presents overall challenges and experiences that the team were facing during offline well unloading campaign recently. On paper, offline well unloading is more favorable as an option to minimize environmental impact, economize rig days and reuse produced clean-up oil. This practice is not new. The implementation of this practice to a 40-year-old brown fields led to successfully bring adopted for two drilling campaign. The well unloading to the existing facilities requires substantial strategies to be adapted and possibilities to handle drilling fluids and solid/debris are extensively discussed within multi disciplinary team whereby risk evaluation was conducted ensure the good progress of this operation. The assurance part to handle production of solid/debris along with produced fluid to surface within 12 hours operation with the assitace from Hook-Up and Commissioning (HUC) work barge initially and resumed later by daily trip via boat to offshore site will be discussed in this paper. Almost 90% of this activity is carried out with crews mobilized with 45-minute boat trip from Bintulu to site, highly depended on weather condition. This paper also will share the major challenges that resisted the good progress of unloading for four wells such as limitation associated setting of the surface Hi Lo Pilot safety switch that cannot handle the transient flow condition, huge pressure drop exerted by the inline surface strainer that temporarily installed to filter any solid production, unintentional jammed close of Tubing Retrieveable Surface Controlled Subsurface Safety Valve (TRSCSSV), unanticipated low performance of gas lift compressor that restricted the wells to continuously flow to the test separator and temporary high H2S gas release throughout the well unloading operation. Due to daily tripping, the crew left with constrained time of 4 - 5 effective hours only per day in attempts to kick off and flow the wells. On paper, offline well unloading indeed offered 70% cost saving compared to clean up with rig. However, in actual it resulted to increase 3 times in well cost and delay in achieving first production target which was 6 months later from the plan due to unanticipated causes that prolong the unloading activities.

Achieving Indonesian Oil and Gas production to 1 million barrels per day by 2030 using Nanoflooding as Novel EOR Method: Dream vs. Reality

In low oil price environments, conducting affordable enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects can be very challenging. One item of interest for successful future EOR should be in how produced fluids are treated and how to achieve cost-efficiency. Nanoflooding, is an emerging EOR technique, which has attracted deployment in recent years. Meanwhile, Indonesia continues to progress towards the national oil and gas production target of one million barrels per day by 2030. This paper presents the observation of opportunities and challenges of using nanoflooding to enable oil and gas production in Indonesia to achieve its desired targets. The study began by mapping the pain points in major oilfields in Indonesia. We observed and discussed the advantage and limitation of traditional mature EOR techniques, status, and ongoing application of EOR in Indonesia. Then, we briefly explained the main reasons why nanoflooding can be considered for future implementation in accelerating oil production in Indonesia, including a discussion about a successful pilot test. As an emerging EOR technique, nanoflooding can be considered as a cost-efficient technique. Silica-based nanofluid can be accessed in a cost-efficient manner and can be executed from an implementation standpoint considering surface facilities. The mechanism that is introduced can help to displace incremental oil more effectively since it can go inside pore throats due to the nano-size. We observed several recognized benefits and challenges to deploy nanoflooding in Indonesia. Based on this study, nanoflooding is very attractive and has potential to be implemented.
