Heavy-Oil Well Testing With an ESP, Offshore UK
ثبت نشده
چکیده
94 Production from heavy-oil fields in the UK continental shelf (UKCS) has become possible over the past 10 years. Despite substantial reserves in the UKCS of crudes with gravitiy of 20°API and lower, most of the activity has been exploration and appraisal drilling. The main reason for restricted activity has been high uncertainty of reservoir and fluid properties. A method was developed to find the most-suitable technology for testing these heavy-oil wells by use of an electrical submersible pump (ESP).

Application of Fuzzy Fault Tree Analysis on Oil and Gas Offshore Pipelines
Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) as a Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) method is used to identify basic causes leading to an undesired event, to represent logical relation of these basic causes in leading to the event, and finally to calculate the probability of occurrence of this event. To conduct a quantitative FTA, one needs a fault tree along with failure data of the Basic Events (BEs). Someti...
متن کاملFitness to work: a comparison of European guidelines in the offshore wind industry.
Occupational medicine must be able to meet the challenges of rapidly changing technologies and innovations, including the implementation of health and safety standards for physically and psychologically demanding work environments. One such challenge is presented by the offshore wind industry. Here, the demand for "Fitness to Work" regulations for potential employees is justified. An appropriat...
متن کاملFuzzy consequence modelling of hydrocarbon offshore pipeline
The traditional event tree analysis uses a single probability to represent each top event. However, it is unrealistic to evaluate the occurrence of each event by using a crisp value without considering the inherent uncertainty and imprecision a state has. The fuzzy set theory is universally applied to deal with this kind of phenomena. The main purpose of this study is to construct an easy metho...

Offshore jacket-type towers are steel structures designed and constructed in marine environments for various purposes such as oil exploration and exploitation units, oceanographic research, and undersea testing. In this paper a newly developed meta-heuristic algorithm, namely Cyclical Parthenogenesis Algorithm (CPA), is utilized for sizing optimization of a jacket-type offshore structure. The a...

Permeability prediction problem has been examined using several methods such as empirical formulas, regression analysis and intelligent systems especially neural networks and fuzzy logic. This study proposes an improved and novel model for predicting permeability from conventional well log data. The methodology is integration of empirical formulas, multiple regression and neuro-fuzzy in a commi...
