A large part of the Norwegian gas and oil production facilities has reached their initial design life, but the respective fields are still producing substantial levels of hydrocarbons. In order to ensure technical and operational integrity of these ageing facilities the Norwegian oil industry Association (OLF) has initiated a project to establish the necessary standards and guidelines for assessing and ensuring safe life extensions. This paper presents this project and the headlines of these standards and guidelines.

Webinar well integrity management WebinarPetroTeach1
Fayez Makkar has over 42 years of experience in drilling, completion, and workover operations. He currently works as a consultant for several international training companies and has conducted over 28 courses in the last 24 years related to his field of expertise. Well integrity management is important to prevent financial losses from uncontrolled hydrocarbon flow and reservoir damage. It involves maintaining zonal isolation and well control from design and construction through to production. Maintaining at least two independent barriers between the reservoir and environment is crucial for well control.
This document discusses the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning in petroleum engineering. It provides an overview of topics including:
- Petroleum data analytics which uses data as the foundation for analysis and modeling rather than assumptions.
- How artificial intelligence and machine learning can be used to model complex physical phenomena by learning from data rather than using mathematical equations.
- The importance of domain expertise when applying AI/ML to solve engineering problems compared to non-engineering problems.
- The differences between traditional statistical analysis and AI/ML, with the latter discovering patterns in data inductively rather than deductively fitting data to predetermined models.
- The importance of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) for petroleum

PetroTeach Free Webinar Nightmare of Gas Hydrate by Professor Bahman TohidiPetroTeach1
This document provides information on removing gas hydrate blockages in pipelines safely and efficiently. It discusses various removal methods such as depressurization, heating, inhibitor injection, and changing the gas composition. Depressurization alone may not be effective as it can lower the temperature and reduce dissociation. Heating must start from the ends to avoid sudden pressure increases. Inhibitor injection can shift the hydrate boundary but dilution and temperature drops must be considered. Real case studies demonstrate combined methods like heating tools and inhibitors can more quickly remove blockages.

16. Capillary Pressure Introduction
• Capillary Pressure is defined as the difference in pressure across a curved interface between two immiscible
fluids.
• Capillary Pressure is balance of
1. Wettability force up
o interfacial tension (dyne/cm)
2. Gravity force down
o height of oil column

2
= H(ρw-ρo)/144
(H: ft, Dens: lb/ft)
17. • Factors affecting the capillary pressure :
Fluids: IFT, Density
Rock: Pore size distribution, Mineralogy
Rock / fluid interaction: Wettability, Contact angle
FWL
• Capillary Curve Main Components
Displacement/Entry / Threshold Pressure
o The pressure at which non-wetting phase starts entering the pore
network.
o Extrapolated displacement pressure is the pressure at which the
extrapolated plateau and zero non-wetting phase saturation lines
intersect. It determines the difference in height between the
OWC/GWC/GOC and the FWL
o Threshold pressure is defined as the pressure at which mercury
forms a connected pathway across the sample. This is estimated
from the inflection point of a graph like that

18. MICP
• MICP is used extensively for Sw height and rock typing
• High Pressure Mercury Injection (HPMI up to ~ 60,000 psi Hg Air)
• On trims, cheap
Capillary Pressure Data QC
• Criteria for good MICP data set to be used:
Samples are well distrusted over the zone of interest
?
Match between the log response & geological
descriptions and the cap. curve shape ?
Is there a match between entry pressure, Φ, K and
core description ?
Check the representative of the sample by
comparing the Φ of parent plug and Φ chip samples
If there is big difference ; the sample should be
excluded due to heterogeneity (exclude the
outliers).
• The “good for use” MICP curve should have :
1. Complete measurements
2. Regular pressure increment
3. Acceptable trend?

22. Reservoir Rock Type (RRT)
Archie, 1950; rock typing is classifying reservoir rocks into distinct units:
• Deposited under similar conditions, and similar diagenetic processes.
• Unique porosity-permeability relationship, and similar capillary pressure profile
• Same water saturation for a given height above the free water level for each rock type
Hydraulic Flow Unit (HFU)
• The concept has been developed to identify and characterize rock types, based on
geological and physical parameters at pore scale.
• Ebanks et al., 1992: The HFU is defined as a mappable portion of the total reservoir and
affect the flow of fluids are consistent and predictably different from the properties of the
other reservoir rock volume
• Bear (2013) defined the hydraulic flow unit as the representative elementary volume of the
total reservoir rock within which geological and petrophysical properties are the same.
These properties are similar in the same flow unit but differ from one unit to another.
• Porosity and permeability are two key parameters that influence the flow in the reservoir.
They can be measured directly by core analysis.

24. Lorenz Plots
Graphical tools used to determine flow units are:
• These methods support an easy description of reservoir flow units established based on
storage capacity (ΦH), flow capacity (KH), the sorted data is then linearly accumulated
and normalized to a give a maximum value of 1.0.
• The main aim of understanding the flow unit’s characterizations is to identify the
barriers, speed zones and baffles.
• Used to define the boundaries of HFU with different techniques, FZI, R35……
25. Reservoir Quality Index (RQI) & Flow Zone Indicator (FZI) Concept
• Black dots show that the Φ parameter is the only factor
explains the permeability K (a=0 & m=1)
• Red and green data show a lot of scatter and some samples of
same porosity but different permeability values, i.e. porosity is
not the only parameter that can explain permeability variation.
• This can be attributed to the existence of more than one rock
type (HFU) in the reservoir, where each rock type has fluid flow
properties different from the other.
• So, grouping and identifying the rocks with similar fluid flow
properties will give better correlation, hence better reservoir
characterization and modeling

• The discrimination of this term is the basis of HFU classification technique.
• The term (𝑭 𝑺. 𝝉 𝟐
) is the Kozeny constant. It describes the shape and geometry of the
pore channels and varies between flow units, but is constant in a given unit.

35. Principal Component Analysis
• This technique is useful in Petrophysics and Geology as a preliminary method of
combining multiple logs into a single or two logs without losing information. The PC
curves then can be used for various tasks like Multi-Well tops correlation and regression
analysis
• In example; 6 curves were input, the results show that only 2 curves PC1 and PC2 have
56.1 % and 24.6% of the total data variability. So, the 6 curves are reduced to 3 curves
without any loss of information.

Permeability Estimation by Empirical Methods
• Core measurement is the only direct measurement for the permeability, any other
permeability value is just “estimated” and should be calibrated with core
measurements.
• Many techniques are used for permeability estimation :
Porosity/ Permeability X-plot(equation)
Empirical Equations From Logs ( for specific reservoirs)
o Wyllie and Rose (1950)
o Timur (1968)
o Coates and Dumanoir (1973)
Permeability from NMR
o SDR (Schlumberger Doll Research)
o Timur/Coats
Permeability from Formation Tester from mobility
39. Multiple Linear Regression - Permeability

46. Curve Fitting and Smoothing
• To produce a continuous curve from the
measured capillary pressure data some kind
of curve interpolation is necessary.
• Lambda is the first choice
• 𝐒𝐰 𝐰𝐞𝐭 = 𝐚. 𝐏𝐜−𝛌 +𝐛
Where:
a, b and λ are all regression constants
• The Lambda Function has been used to fit
curves through the 4 capillary pressure
datasets.
• The fit is excellent
47. Pc Grouping and Averaging
• The data is reduced by deriving average
cap. curves or saturation-height functions
for each RRT.
• There are a number of techniques for
averaging capillary curves data available
suitable for input to geological and
reservoir models.
• The comparison with the original data is
the real test of a saturation-height
function.
• If the comparison is excellent, then use
that function.
48. Range Method
• It is most suitable for reservoirs where no Φ/K trend can be
determined.
• The Range method defines the “likely”, "best" and "worst"
cap. curves from a set of cap. curves which represent the
reservoir of interest.
• On a capillary pressure versus saturation plot, all cap. curves
from the reservoir would plot between these two curves.
• Thus, they define the maximum and minimum saturations
(the range) at each pressure.
• The limiting curves can be done graphically by plotting all
cap. curves and selecting points at the boundaries.

• The Petrophysical parameters (m and n) were used for interpretation could be uncertain.
However, there is good match over most of the intervals in oil pool; hence this factor has
more effect on the intervals with higher water saturation and the transition zone.
