Abstract

The increasing need for energy sources and the decreasing available reserves have promoted oil and gas companies to explore and manage marginal reservoirs, such as the sour gaseous environment. This is to maintain the balance of energy supply and demand. Due to the supply of Natuna Gas Field, the gap in gas supply-demand is likely to decrease by 20%, as regards the example of a potential sour gaseous environment (Batubara, 2015). Therefore, the immediate development of this potential source is very relevant. The sour field approximately shares 40% of Indonesia’s total gas reserve with 75% recovery, at an estimated OGIP of 222 TSCF. However, this environment is economically unproductive due to having high carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) contents, which are toxic and corrosive. Based on previous studies, the X-reserves reportedly contained 32% CO2 and 7072 ppm H2S, with fluid gravity of 42 API. This discretionary source of CO2 was recently brought into production from a well with a depth of 8400 ft, perforated at a limited interval of 7100 to 7700 ft. The harsh environment presented many challenges to the completion of the design, as well as the need to incorporate corrosion effects with unique equipment and material selection for the tubular structure. Therefore, this study aims to determine reservoir fluids and production performance, as well as also predict the corrosivity of dissolved CO2 in the natural gas. With the simulation and prediction, the proper material and equipment selection was obtained, based on the required sour service. The results showed that the wet gas reservoir of the X-field produced an optimum rate of 19.1063 MMSCFD. For the completion of the design, Nickel Alloy SM2535 or SM2242 was needed, due to damages in form of corrosion and pitting

Abstract

About two-thirds of fields that exist in the world right now are classified as mature fields. Mature fields usually have a lot of problems that occurred during production. Mature field is classified as field which has produced as much as fifty percent of their established proved plus probable resources estimation or has produced for more than twenty-five years. Empowerment of mature well can be increasing the efficiency of well productivity. Productivity decline can be caused by low maintenance of flow pattern in a well. The other problems which commonly happen is decreasing of reservoir pressure of the well, liquid loading, slugging, and high water cut percentage. Several methods can be used to solve a lot of problems in mature well. The methods can be applied to get an optimum well productivity result. This study shows that Well AA has a slug flow pattern using matching method on a flow pattern diagram. Gas injection and velocity string are applied to solve the problems for Well AA. Gas rate of about 12 MMSCFD is obtained with gas injection method to get annular flow pattern and three different sizes of velocity string are used which are 1.25 inch, 1.5 inch, and 2.0625 inch with churn flow pattern. It is identified that the use of velocity string of 1.25 inch is the optimum method for Well AA.
