Determination of the gas factor of oil at Western Siberia fields

Abstract

The article presents the results of applying the method for determining gas factors at the wellhead of the support network of wells and separation sites of LUKOIL-Western Siberia LLC. The object is systems of oil separation and treatment, collection and transportation of gas from fields developed by LUKOIL-Western Siberia LLC. The aim is to measure the amount of gas produced together with oil, and specify gas factors by fields. The article describes and analyzes the existing oil treatment systems and gas collection and transportation systems. The tie-in points for field measurements of gas consumption have been determined. Instrumental field measurements of gas consumption in pipelines at all separation facilities and laboratory studies of properties and composition of gas were conducted. The relevance of the research is due to the increasing attention to the rational use, reduction of losses and an increase in the overall level of use of gas extracted from the subsoil

Prospects for the use of advanced computer modeling systems in planning geological and technical activities

“…About 15-20 years ago, the lion's share of capital works at wells was occupied by physico-chemical, mechanical and thermal effects on the bottom-hole zone of the formation, the introduction of installations for simultaneous separate operation, simultaneous separate injection, drilling of lateral and horizontal shafts in order to involve previously undrained oil and gas reserves. This was due to the need to build up the potential of deposits ahead of time relative to the development periods and to some extent was a prerequisite for even more intensive wear of downhole equipment [5][6][7][8].…”
