The Wafra Joint Operation (WJO) Oilfield is located in the central-west part of the Kuwait-Saudi Arabia Neutral Zone. The Wafra oilfield reserves were first discovered and wells drilled in 1954. This field produces two types of crude oil, Ratawi (light oil) and Eocene (heavy oil), with average water cut of 8085%. During operation, the production wells produce the oil emulsion through mostly coated flowlines to sub-centres (SC) where the sour oil, water and gas are separated. The facility has two gathering fields; Eocene and Ratawi. Eocene has 2 phase separation, whilst Ratawi has 3 phase separation. The sour gas is either flared or flows to the Main Power Generation Plant, whilst the oil is processed to the Main Gathering Center (MGC). The produced waters (PW) are routed to the Pressure Maintenance Plant (PMP).

Corrosion Control and Integrity Management of Flare Gas Recovery Units

Product Number: MECC23-20160-SG

Author: Mohamed M. Farah; Abdulaziz Al-Qahtani; Ibrahim Zahrani

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Gas flaring is often a frequent occurrence in the oil and gas industry, where significant unrecovered gas is flared to the atmosphere with wide ranging negative environmental implications such as increased greenhouse emission, and other pollutants that have negative health implications on local populations. However, recent environmental awareness, drive to lower emission and economic benefits associated with flare gas recovery has seen a shift in flaring practice. The recovery of flared gas reduces noise and thermal radiation, operating and maintenance costs, air pollution and gas emission and reduces fuel gas and steam consumption.

Publication Date: 2022

Carbon steel (CS) material is widely used for the equipment in oil and gas production industry due to its mechanical properties associated with a relatively low cost, compared to other materials. Depending on the corrosiveness of the fluid that is vehiculated, the use of carbon steel is generally associated with the injection of a corrosion inhibitor (CI) in order to mitigate internal corrosion. Corrosion inhibitors are generally used in continuous injection at an injection rate that is depending on the corrosiveness of the fluid. Based on the operational feedback, the internal standards are recommending for multiphase pipelines CI injection rates in the range of 50 - 70 ppm for temperature below 80°C of and of 150 to 200ppm for temperatures above 100°C. These injection dosages are typical values that are considered in the laboratory tests for the qualification of the CI and they are adjusted on-site based on the monitoring results.

Oil and gas production field requirements to maintain asset integrity and scale control are very diverse. In an operator’s field in Latin America, the conditions across several wells required the co-injection of corrosion and scale inhibitors. The brine composition of these wells is challenging due to relatively high concentration of calcium ions as well as the presence of iron. The selected scale and corrosion inhibitors need to be compatible with brine and with each other without negatively impacting the absolute performance of the individual products. An additional practical challenge for product selection was imposed by the extreme remote location of the field requiring the product to perform at an optimal dosage without increased transportation and logistics costs.

This paper describes the results from screening studies conducted with a series of corrosion inhibitor product formulations using different static and dynamic lab performance evaluation test methods. As the primary corrosion inhibitor actives are oil-soluble by nature, focus was given to formulating the product with an appropriate selection of solvents, such as methanol and isopropanol, and surfactants to achieve the desired compatibility with the brine and scale inhibitors. The final products were identified, and an optimal product dosage was arrived at based on tests conducted under typical and aggressive conditions representative of the field. However, due to the diversity of conditions and corrosion severity levels across multiple wells in this field, corrosion prediction simulations were run for unmonitored wells to estimate a baseline corrosion rate and build confidence in the recommended corrosion inhibitor product dosage. The validation of the prediction for monitored wells with ER probes will also be discussed in this study.

Digital Monitoring System of Saipem Pipelay Vessels Productivity Parameters

Product Number: MPWT19-15321

Author: Valerio Bregonzio, Valerio Bregonzio

Publication Date: 2019

$0.00

Saipem recently took a more integrated approach at production data collection and elaboration recently launched an advanced pilot project: the deployment of a vast data collection and analysis system in the production lines of its Flagship CastorONE. Data is collected from multiple sources by means of communication infrastructures and articulated network systems that allow to connect to different machines and equipment. The most meaningful data are identified and pre-filtered. The data are then processed, aggregated and subject to advanced analytics in order to extract useful information on the productivity, the main process parameters, building on its already available tools to manage welding productivity.
This enables Saipem not only to build an integrated, real-time, comprehensive representation of the on-going activities, but also to gain new and valuable insights on the efficiency of its vessels during and after the execution of projects, across different phases, making it easier to compare the productivity estimations with the field performances. The advantages of data-driven continuous improvement are discussed too. This paper will provide a general overview of the system and of the results reached.

Facilitating the Use of Leak Detection Sensors Using Web-Based Remote Monitoring

Product Number: MECC23-20309-SG

Author: Jamey Hilleary

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Pipeline leak detection is emerging as a prime focus of Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and other regulatory agencies in the United States as well as jurisdictions all over the world. The immense volume of buried pipelines and the fact that much of this buried infrastructure is over forty years old1 combine to present increasing risk of leaks with potentially catastrophic results. During the twenty-year timespan from 2002 through 2021, in the United States alone, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) recorded 42 hazardous liquids incidents resulting in 35 fatalities, 80 injuries, and over 147,000 barrels spilled (Figure 1).
