Caracterização de cascalho e lama de perfuração ao longo do processo de controle de sólidos em sondas de petróleo e gás

Pereira, Marina Seixas 14 December 2010 (has links)
Drilling, one of the stages of oil and gas exploration, now has as targets regions of great complexity, with high depths. Coated or contaminated cuttings with drilling fluid are a result of drilling. The drilling fluids are water-based or non-aqueous based liquids. A more restrictive environmental legislation and the need to reduce the costs of drilling (exploration and production) lead to optimization of solid-liquid separation and recycling drilling fluids. Because oil industry has to submit itself to ever more stringent environmental laws it has applied a great deal of investments on sustainability research. In this context, this work provides a study of the characteristics of drilling cuttings and synthetic drilling muds at different steps of the solids control sistem, in order to know their behavior and its change over the process. The concentration of water, organic phase and solids in the mud were measured. The density and particle size of the cuttings were analyzed. The rheology and thixotropy of the mud were investigated. For this, samples of drilling mud were collected throughout the solids control system of five PETROBRAS onshore drilling rigs in Bahia (BA). The concentrations index are so important when investigating the efficiency of operation of the equipments in the solids control. The density of solids is very close to the density of clays. The results show that the rheology of drilling mud in the solids control process behaves as a non-Newtonian fluid, pseudoplastic, viscoplastic and thixotropic. The particle size of solids varies with operating conditions and always presents two average diameters by sample. The cutting dryer, a vertical centrifuge, plays a key role in the waste disposal due the stringent environmental laws, especially on offshore platforms. Thus, in order to research the optimization or restructuration of this step in the waste disposal, a study was carried on this equipment and the main points of its structure and operation were reported. / A perfuração, uma das etapas da exploração de petróleo e gás, hoje objetiva cenários geológicos de grande complexidade, com elevadas profundidades. Como efluente da atividade exploratória há a geração de cascalhos contaminados ou revestidos com fluido de perfuração. Uma legislação ambiental mais rigorosa e a necessidade de reduzir os custos de perfuração (prospecção e produção) apontam para a necessidade de otimização da separação e reciclagem do fluido de perfuração de poços de petróleo e gás. A atividade petrolífera é desenvolvida em condições cada vez mais restritivas do ponto de vista ambiental, sendo incessantes os estudos e investimentos em busca da sustentabilidade. Como exemplos de equipamentos para o processamento da lama de perfuração podem ser citados as peneiras vibratórias, os hidrociclones e as centrífugas. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho traz um estudo detalhado das características dos sólidos e da lama de perfuração base n-parafina em diferentes pontos do processo de controle de sólidos, com o objetivo de investigar o comportamento dos mesmos e sua alteração ao longo do processo. Foram realizadas análises de concentração de água, fase orgânica e sólidos na lama, densidade dos sólidos, reologia e tixotropia da lama e granulometria dos sólidos. Para isso, amostras de lama de perfuração foram coletadas ao longo do sistema de controle de sólidos em cinco sondas de perfuração terrestre da Petrobras no interior da Bahia (BA). As concentrações analisadas são de grande importância na investigação da eficiência de operação dos equipamentos do processo de controle de sólidos. A massa específica dos sólidos é bem próxima da massa específica de argilas. Os resultados de reologia mostram que a lama de perfuração em todo o processo de controle de sólidos se comporta como um fluido não-newtoniano, pseudoplástico, viscoplástico e tixotrópico. A granulometria dos sólidos varia com as condições de operação e apresenta, no geral, dois diâmetros médios em cada corrente amostrada. O secador de cascalho, um tipo de centrífuga vertical, desempenha papel fundamental na adequação dos resíduos às leis ambientais de descarte, principalmente em plataformas offshore. Assim, visando futuramente a otimização ou mesmo reestruturação desta etapa do processo de descarte de resíduos, foi realizado um estudo sobre esse equipamento e levantado os pontos principais de sua estrutura e operação. / Mestre em Engenharia Química

Investigation expérimentale et numérique d'un ouvrage de séparation particulaire en assainissement / Experimental and CFD investigation of a particle separation device for sewer networks

Schmitt, Vivien 17 December 2013 (has links)
Dans le cadre de cette thèse, un ouvrage de type séparateur hydrodynamique est étudié pour répondre aux problématiques environnementales liées aux déversements de macro-déchets en mer. La première partie est destinée à l’analyse du fonctionnement hydraulique de l’ouvrage et son aptitude face au colmatage sur un pilote en laboratoire. Les données collectées vont ensuite permettre la validation d’une approche numérique capable de simuler l’écoulement. Cette technique est par la suite utilisée pour optimiser l’écoulement et la forme de la grille. Nous avons démontré, à partir de simulations numériques, l’intérêt d’une grille de type métal déployé pour obtenir des phénomènes d’agitations turbulentes et de gradient de pression important à l’amont de la grille. Ces phénomènes favoriseraient ainsi la dispersion des polluants et limiteraient les phénomènes de colmatage. La dernière partie de ce travail a été d’étudier le fonctionnement d’un ouvrage grandeur nature et d’observer son efficacité. / The installation of hydraulic structures to separate particles is a key element to improve the quality of water bodies. This PhD work focus on the study of a hydrodynamic separator used to capture large wastes before their discharge into the see. Tangential separation mechanism along a screen is used in this device. The first part of the work consists in studying the hydraulic behavior and the clogging effectiveness of the device with laboratory experiments. A CFD multiscale approach was developed in this work to optimize the shape of the screen in order to avoid clogging. This method, validated against experimental data, allows us to predict that expanded metal stripes are useful to develop turbulence and pressure gradients upstream the screen. This hydrodynamic phenomenon favor particles and pollutants ejection near the apertures. The last part of the work was to study the hydrodynamic behavior and the real efficiency with in situ experiments.
