Gas Oil Ratio - GOR

•Wells in the same reservoir can fall into categories of oil, condensate, and gas wells depending on the producing GOR (gas oil ratio)

•SCF: Standard Cubic Feet. STB: Stock Tank Barrel

• Gas well: GOR>100K scf/stb• Gas condensate: 5K<GOR<100K scf/stb• Oil well: GOR<5K

Drive Mechanisms

Oil reservoirs can be classified based on boundary type

which determines driving mechanism:

(1) Water-drive reservoir

(2) Gas-cap drive reservoir

(3) Dissolved-gas drive reservoir.

Edge-water drive advantage:

• Reservoir pressure can remain in its initial value above bubble-point

pressure

• steady-state flow can be remained for a long time before water break

through

The procedures to open a well:

(1) The master valve is barely open (cracked). Escaping fluid makes a hissing sound. When the fluid no longer hisses through the valve, the pressure has been equalized. Then the master valve is opened wide.

(2) If there are no oil leaks the operator cracks the next downstream valve that is closed. Usually this will be either the second (backup) master valve or a wing valve. Again, when the hissing sound stops the valve is opened wide.

Frzan Ali 18

(3) Open other downstream valves the same way.

(4) To read the tubing pressure gauge, the operator must open the needle valve at the top of the Christmas tree. After reading and recording the pressure, the operator may close the valve again to protect the gauge.

The major objective of the safety system is toprevent the release of hydrocarbons from theprocess and to minimize the adverse effects ofsuch releases if they occur. This can be achievedby

(1) preventing undesirable events(2) shutting-in the process(3) recovering released fluids(4) preventing ignition

Frzan Ali 23

Safety System

The modes of safety system operation

Include:

a. Automatic monitoring by sensors

b. Automatic protective action

c. Emergency shut-down

Frzan Ali 24

Protection concepts and safety analysis are based

on undesirable events which include

A. Overpressure caused by1. increased input flow due to upstream flow control device

failure

2. decreased output flow due to blockage

3. heating of closed system

Frzan Ali 25

B. Leak caused by1. corrosion2. erosion3. mechanical failure due to temperature change, over- and under-pressure, and

external impact force

C. Liquid overflow caused by1. increased input flow due to upstream flow control device

failure

2. decreased output flow due to blockage in the liquid discharge

Frzan Ali 26

Protection concepts and safety analysis are based

on undesirable events which include

D. Gas blowby caused by1. increased input flow due to upstream flow control device failure2. decreased output flow due to blockage in the gas discharge

E. Under-pressure caused by1. outlet flow control device (e.g., choke) failure

2. inlet blockage

3. cooling of closed system

Frzan Ali 27

Protection concepts and safety analysis are based

on undesirable events which include

F. Excess temperature caused by

1. over-fueling of burner

2. external fire

3. spark emission
