The increasing energy demand worldwide pushes the exploration of new and efficient ways to improve crude oil recovery and processing. From a chemical perspective, the petroleum industry relies on a wide range of specialty additives to provide the necessary fluid qualities for up-, mid-, and downstream operations. Currently, most of these compounds come from synthetic sources. However, attention is steadily turning to highperformance new materials derived from natural sources to improve the efficiency and productivity of the petroleum industry while reducing its environmental impacts. Cellulose is an abundant, renewable, and biodegradable material with outstanding chemical versatility. Cellulose structural modifications result in numerous products, with some as old as paper, textiles, explosives, and texturizing agents and others as new as functional nanostructures. This minireview focuses on nanocellulose-based materials as high-performance agents for enhanced oil recovery and emulsion stabilization/destabilization in the petroleum industry.

The use of the Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) in the oil lifting method is very popular because it is easy to install, less required installation of tools in the field and a high efficiency. To achieve the Q target, ESP parameters such as the number of stages and RPM need to be analyzed to align with the IPR (Inflow Performance Flow) curve. The use of nodal analysis is used to determine the relationship between Pwf and head pump. Iteration needs to be done to determine the range of the number of stages so that it aligns with characteristics of well. It is found that the recommended range stage is 580-600 at a well depth of 7684 ft. Moreover, it is found that with 3600 RPM and 600 stages is able to reach the Q target. The relationship between the number of stages and RPM value with Pwf is inversely proportional.

“…The temperature range from 300 to 450 • C was discovered during the experiments to estimate the possibility of hydrogen generation from methane in situ within the target field. These temperatures can be achieved in a porous medium of rock due to steam/overheated water injection into the reservoir (up to 350 • C) or due to in situ combustion of saturating hydrocarbons (up to 700 • C for oil combustion) [20,21]. The effects of different forms of catalyst and steam/methane ratios on CMC were also investigated during the experiments.…”

An Experimental Study of the Possibility of In Situ Hydrogen Generation within Gas Reservoirs

Hydrogen can be generated in situ within reservoirs containing hydrocarbons through chemical reactions. This technology could be a possible solution for low-emission hydrogen production due to of simultaneous CO2 storage. In gas fields, it is possible to carry out the catalytic methane conversion (CMC) if sufficient amounts of steam, catalyst, and heat are ensured in the reservoir. There is no confirmation of the CMC’s feasibility at relatively low temperatures in the presence of core (reservoir rock) material. This study introduces the experimental results of the first part of the research on in situ hydrogen generation in the Promyslovskoye gas field. A set of static experiments in the autoclave reactor were performed to study the possibility of hydrogen generation under reservoir conditions. It was shown that CMC can be realized in the presence of core and ex situ prepared Ni-based catalyst, under high pressure up to 207 atm, but at temperatures not lower than 450 °C. It can be concluded that the crushed core model improves the catalytic effect but releases carbon dioxide and light hydrocarbons, which interfere with the hydrogen generation. The maximum methane conversion rate to hydrogen achieved at 450 °C is 5.8%.
