    摘要: A method to perform reservoir simulation of a reservoir is disclosed. The method includes constructing a wellbore drainage region for a wellbore in a reservoir grid for the reservoir simulation, constructing a drainage pseudo-pressure table for each grid block in the wellbore drainage region, calculating, based on the drainage pseudo-pressure table, a drainage pseudo-pressure factor for said each grid block in the wellbore drainage region, performing, based on the drainage pseudo-pressure factor for said each grid block in the wellbore drainage region, the reservoir simulation of the reservoir to generate a reservoir simulation result, and performing, based on the reservoir simulation result, well production of the reservoir, where the drainage pseudo-pressure factor is used in the reservoir simulation to model a condensate banking phenomenon in the wellbore drainage region.

    摘要: An apparatus for measuring the cation conductivity of a fluid sample includes a housing having an inlet disposed at a first end of the housing and an outlet disposed at a second end of the housing, the second end opposite the first end, wherein the inlet of the housing is configured to receive the fluid sample. The apparatus includes a first cellulose filter disposed in the housing adjacent to the inlet; a second cellulose filter disposed in the housing adjacent to the outlet; and a cation exchange resin filter disposed in the housing between the first cellulose filter and the second cellulose filter. The outlet of the housing is configured to be fluidically connected to a cation conductivity sensor configured to measure a cation conductivity of an effluent output from the outlet of the housing.

    摘要: Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for inspection. Removable sensors are installed on equipment used in hydrocarbon facilities at locations susceptible to high temperature hydrogen attack (HTHA). Attachment uses adaptable hybrid pads. Surface data captured using the sensors includes surface temperatures, per hydrogen (Ph) measurements, and methane measurements for methane escaping from external surfaces of the equipment. A presence of cracks in the equipment base metal is determined. An HTHA susceptibility analysis of the equipment is performed based on the presence of the cracks and by analyzing the surface data and mapping potential HTHA cracks and early signs of methane formation. The steps are repeated on other locations. An inspection result and assessment, generated using the captured surface data, includes a final analysis of assessment reports indicating a likelihood of cracks propagation and a presence of fissuring inside the equipment base metal.

    摘要: A system for separating drill cuttings from a drilling fluid and transporting the drill cuttings from a wellbore includes a multi-chambered collection bin defining a first chamber and a second chamber therein separated by a screen partition. An unloading bulk conveyor is operably coupled to the first chamber for unloading drill cuttings from the first chamber and a suction pump is operably coupled to the second chamber for drawing drilling fluid from the second chamber. Drill cuttings may be unloaded from the first chamber onto a transport vehicle for delivery to a disposal site. The drilling fluid may be pumped from the second chamber and recirculated through the wellbore.

    摘要: Rejected gas recovery in gas-oil separation plants (GOSPs) is implemented. A gas phase is flowed from a GOSP to a central gas plant through a first gas flow pathway at a first flow pressure. Gas from a gas reservoir is flowed through a second gas flow pathway at a second flow pressure. The first gas flow pathway is separate from the second gas flow pathway. While flowing the gas phase through the first gas flow pathway, a decrease in the first flow pressure below a threshold flow pressure is determined. In response, a gas-gas ejector, which is fluidically coupled to the first gas flow pathway and the second gas flow pathway, is operated to drive a flow of the gas phase to the central gas plant using gas from the gas reservoir as a motive gas.

    摘要: A gas phase is flowed from a first GOSP through a first gas flow pathway to a second gas flow pathway at a first flow pressure. The gas phase from the second gas flow pathway is flowed to a central gas plant at a second flow pressure greater than the first flow pressure. The second gas flow pathway receives a gas phase from a second GOSP. While flowing the gas phase through the first gas flow pathway, a decrease in the first flow pressure below a threshold flow pressure is determined. In response, a gas-gas ejector, fluidically coupled to the first gas flow pathway and the second gas flow pathway, is operated to drive a flow of the gas phase to the central gas plant using the gas phase flowed through the second gas flow pathway at the second flow pressure as a motive gas.

    摘要: A system for deploying a magnetic robotic crawler onto a surface of an elevated asset, the crawler being of the type that is capable of magnetically attaching to and traversing the surface. The system comprises an extendable pole having a proximal end and a distal end. The system also comprises a docking station having a housing for receiving the crawler. The docking station is provided at the distal end of the pole. The docking station also includes magnetic feet mounted at a distal end of the housing and configured to magnetically couple with the surface. The system can also comprise an extendable pole having a proximal end and a distal end and an end effector attached to the distal end. Specifically, the end effector is configured to selectively attach to and detach from a complementary shaped receiver provided on the crawler.
