Flavor comparison of ultra high temperature processed milk heated by Ohmic heating and conventional methodsHe, Juan 20 March 2012 (has links)
Ultra high temperature (UHT) processing can extend shelf life of milk to several months without refrigeration, which is more convenient and energy saving than pasteurized milk. However, the poor acceptance caused by "cooked" flavors limits its marketing growth, especially in United States. Ohmic heating, which has a more uniform and rapid heating than conventional UHT process, may minimized the flavor change during the thermal treatment. Flavor composition between Ohmic heated UHT milk and other traditionally processed UHT milk (direct steam injection and indirect plate heating) during 36 weeks storage were investigated in this study. A total of 20 volatile compounds were analyzed based on their importance to UHT milk as well as their representation to different chemical classes including sulfur-containing compounds, ketones, lactones, aldehydes and others. Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and methyl ketones were significant different among three types of UHT heated milk. δ-lactones showed higher amount in Ohmic heating after stored for four weeks, which might generate creamy, fruity intermediate aroma. Other compounds showed no significant difference among three heating processes. Aroma recombination test revealed that the overall aroma of the ultra pasteurized (UP) milk could be mimicked by recombining 15 important reference odorants in the same concentrations as they occurred in the UHT milk using commercial pasteurized milk as the matrix. / Graduation date: 2012

Previous issue date: 2013-02-20 / Steam injection is a method usually applied to very viscous oils and consists of injecting heat
to reduce the viscosity and, therefore, increase the oil mobility, improving the oil production.
For designing a steam injection project it is necessary to have a reservoir simulation in order
to define the various parameters necessary for an efficient heat reservoir management, and
with this, improve the recovery factor of the reservoir.
The purpose of this work is to show the influence of the coupled wellbore/reservoir on the
thermal simulation of reservoirs under cyclic steam stimulation. In this study, the
methodology used in the solution of the problem involved the development of a wellbore
model for the integration of steam flow model in injection wellbores, VapMec, and a blackoil
reservoir model for the injection of cyclic steam in oil reservoirs. Thus, case studies were
developed for shallow and deep reservoirs, whereas the usual configurations of injector well
existing in the oil industry, i.e., conventional tubing without packer, conventional tubing with
packer and insulated tubing with packer. A comparative study of the injection and production
parameters was performed, always considering the same operational conditions, for the two
simulation models, non-coupled and a coupled model. It was observed that the results are very
similar for the specified well injection rate, whereas significant differences for the specified
well pressure. Finally, on the basis of computational experiments, it was concluded that the
influence of the coupled wellbore/reservoir in thermal simulations using cyclic steam
injection as an enhanced oil recovery method is greater for the specified well pressure, while
for the specified well injection rate, the steam flow model for the injector well and the
reservoir may be simulated in a non- coupled way / A inje??o de vapor ? um m?todo aplicado geralmente em ?leos muito viscosos e

Experimentelle und theoretische Untersuchungen zum integrierten Gas-Dampf-Prozess für lastflexible Kraft-Wärme-KopplungSteinjan, Karl 01 November 2016 (has links) (PDF)
Der integrierte Gas-Dampf (GiD-) Prozess mit Wasserrückgewinnung ist ein flexibler Kraft-Wärme-Kopplungsprozess, der die gleichzeitige Bereitstellung von Strom und Wärme teilweise entkoppeln kann. Der effiziente und sparsame Einsatz von fossilen Brennstoffen ist aus ökonomischer wie auch ökologischer Sicht geboten. Die Kraft-Wärme-Kopplung (KWK), die gleichzeitige Erzeugung von Strom und Wärme, ist eine Möglichkeit dafür. Allerdings erfordert die KWK auch eine gleichzeitige Abnahme von Strom und Wärme beziehungsweise deren Speicherung. Sowohl Strom als auch Prozessdampf lassen sich nur aufwendig und damit relativ teuer speichern, weshalb Alternativen gefragt sind.
Der GiD-Prozess besteht aus einer Gasturbine mit nachgeschaltetem Abhitzedampfkessel. Die Gasturbine verfügt als Besonderheit über eine Dampfinjektion, die vor, nach oder direkt in die Brennkammer erfolgen kann. Der Abhitzekessel hat zusätzliche Wärmeübertragerflächen um das Abgas bis unter den Taupunkt abzukühlen. Somit kann ein Teil des injizierten Dampfes aus dem Abgas zurückgewonnen und wiederverwendet werden. Der in die Gasturbine injizierte Dampf führt dieser weitere Energie zu. Diese kann entweder zur Leistungssteigerung der Anlage oder zur Reduzierung des fossilen Brennstoffbedarfes genutzt werden. Die erste Option der Leistungssteigerung ist auch als Cheng-Prozess bekannt. Diese Arbeit widmet sich der weniger untersuchten zweiten Möglichkeit der Brennstoffreduzierung.
Beim Vergleich des GiD-Prozesses mit verschiedenen anderen Kraftwerks-Prozessen zeigt sich, dass dieser besonders gut für industrielle Anlagen mit Prozessdampfbedarf und einer elektrischen Leistung kleiner 20 MW el geeignet ist. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde der GiD-Prozess mittels einer Versuchsanlage auf Basis einer Industriegasturbine mit 650 kW el untersucht. Die Arbeit dokumentiert verschiedene Versuchsfahrten und Untersuchungen an dieser Anlage. Die Injektion von Dampf reduziert die Schadstoffemissionen in den zulässigen Bereich und kann sehr flexibel zu einer Steigerung des Anlagenwirkungsgrades von bis zu zwei Prozent führen. Dabei wird der Dampf sehr gleichmäßig in die Versuchsanlage eingebracht, so dass keine signifikanten Änderungen der Abgastemperaturverteilung erkennbar sind. Die Überhitzung des Dampfes kann zu einer weiteren Steigerung des Anlagenwirkungsgrades führen. Die Rückgewinnung des eingebrachten Dampfes ist mit den entsprechenden Wärmeübertragern möglich. Das zurückgewonnene Wasser ist durch die Stickoxide des Abgases verunreinigt und muss entsprechend aufbereitet werden.

Experimental studies of steam and steam-propane injection using a novel smart horizontal producer to enhance oil production in the San Ardo fieldRivero Diaz, Jose Antonio 17 September 2007 (has links)
A 16ÃÂ16ÃÂ5.6 in. scaled, three-dimensional, physical model of a quarter of a 9-spot
pattern was constructed to study the application of two processes designed to improve the
efficiency of steam injection. The first process to be tested is the use of propane as a
steam additive with the purpose of increasing recovery and accelerating oil production.
The second process involves the use of a novel production configuration that makes use
of a vertical injector and a smart horizontal producer in an attempt to mitigate the effects
of steam override.
The experimental model was scaled using the conditions in the San Ardo field in
California and crude oil from the same field was used for the tests. Superheated steam at
190 â 200úC was injected at 48 cm3/min (cold water equivalent) while maintaining the
flowing pressures in the production wells at 50 psig. Liquid samples from each producer
in the model were collected and treated to break emulsion and analyzed to determine
water and oil volumes.
Two different production configurations were tested: (1) a vertical well system with a
vertical injector and three vertical producers and (2) a vertical injector-smart horizontal
well system that consisted of a vertical injector and a smart horizontal producer divided
into three sections. Runs were conducted using pure steam injection and steam-propane
injection in the two well configurations.
Experimental results indicated the following. First, for the vertical configuration, the
addition of propane accelerated oil production by 53% and increased ultimate recovery by an additional 7% of the original oil in place when compared to pure steam injection.
Second, the implementation of the smart horizontal system increased ultimate oil
recovery when compared to the recovery obtained by employing the conventional vertical
well system (49% versus 42% of the OOIP).

Συγκριτική αξιολόγηση μεθόδων απορρύπανσης της ακόρεστης ζώνης εδάφους μολυσμένου με κηροζίνη / Comparative evaluation of methods used for the remediation of the unsaturated zone of a soil polluted by keroseneΤζοβόλου, Δήμητρα 16 March 2012 (has links)
Η ρύπανση του εδάφους από βιομηχανικά και αστικά απόβλητα αποτελεί παγκοσμίως ένα από τα σημαντικότερα περιβαλλοντικά προβλήματα. Ανάμεσα στους πιο επικίνδυνους ρύπους συγκαταλέγονται και οι υδρογονάνθρακες πετρελαιοειδών. Αναπόφευκτη συνέπεια της διαφυγής των υγρών ρύπων στο έδαφος είναι η μεταφορά τους προς στην ακόρεστη ζώνη του εδάφους μέσω μιας σειράς διεργασιών (ροή, διαλυτοποίηση, εξάτμιση, διασπορά, ρόφηση, κτλ) και η ρύπανση των υποκείμενων ταμιευτήρων υπογείων υδάτων. Οι πλέον κλασσικές μέθοδοι απομακρυσμένης (ex situ) απορρύπανσης εδαφών περιλαμβάνουν εκσκαφή και μεταφορά του εδάφους σε κατάλληλους χώρους (π.χ. αποτεφρωτήρες, βιο-σωροί, κλπ). Τα τελευταία χρόνια έχει αναπτυχθεί έντονο ενδιαφέρον για την ανάπτυξη και εφαρμογή τεχνολογιών επιτόπιας απορρύπανσης των εδαφών (in situ soil remediation) με χαμηλό κόστος και ελάχιστο περιβαλλοντικό αποτύπωμα.
Στην παρούσα εργασία μελετώνται δύο σχετικά νέες μέθοδοι επιτόπιας απορρύπανσης: α) ο βιοαερισμός και, β) η έγχυση ατμού. Και στις δύο περιπτώσεις, για να αυξηθεί η ακτίνα δράσης της απορρύπανσης, το έδαφος διεγέρθηκε με την δημιουργία οριζόντιων υδραυλικών ρωγμών που λειτουργούν ως οριζόντια φρεάτια διαβίβασης και εξαγωγής ρευστών. Το πεδίο μελέτης είναι ένα πρώην στρατιωτικό αεροδρόμιο της Βόρειο-Δυτικής Πολωνίας, το Kluczewo, το οποίο έχει ρυπανθεί εκτεταμένα με κηροζίνη για μεγάλο χρονικό διάστημα (1935-1992). Το έδαφος της περιοχής αυτής παρουσιάζει ρωγμές ενώ η πορώδης μήτρα έχει σχετικά χαμηλή διαπερατότητα. Οι ίδιες γεωλογικές συνθήκες επικρατούν σε μεγάλο μέρος του υπεδάφους της Βόρειας Ευρώπης. Λόγω της ισχυρά ετερογενούς φύσης αυτών των εδαφών από την κλίμακα των πόρων στην κλίμακα του πεδίου και της δημιουργίας προτιμητέων μονοπατιών ροής, είναι αρκετά δύσκολο να σχεδιαστούν αποδοτικές μέθοδοι απορρύπανσης. Κύριος στόχος της εργασίας είναι η αξιολόγηση της απόδοσης των δύο μεθόδων απορρύπανσης μετά την εφαρμογή τους στην ακόρεστη ζώνη ετερογενούς εδάφους που έχει ρυπανθεί εκτενώς με υδρογονάνθρακες πετρελαιοειδών (κηροζίνη).
Για να προσδιοριστεί η απόδοση κάθε μεθόδου, συλλέχθηκαν δείγματα εδάφους από ένα μεγάλο αριθμό σημείων και πραγματοποιήθηκαν χημικές αναλύσεις μέτρησης της συγκέντρωσης και της σύστασης των υδρογονανθράκων με GC-MS και GC-FID. Προκειμένου να διευκρινιστoύν καλύτερα οι κύριοι μηχανισμοί απομάκρυνσης του ρύπου και να εκτιμηθεί η αποδοτικότητα της έγχυσης ατμού και του βιοαερισμού, διεξήχθησαν πειράματα έγχυσης ατμού και βιοαερισμού και σε εργαστηριακή κλίμακα (oρθογώνιο κελί από PMMA με διαστάσεις 55 cm x 50 cm x 12 cm και υπό ακόρεστες συνθήκες). Λόγω των ετερογενειών της πορώδους δομής, στον βιοαερισμό ο κύριος μηχανισμός απομάκρυνσης ρύπου ήταν η εξάτμιση των υδρογονανθράκων και η σχετικά γρήγορη μεταφορά των ατμών μέσω διάχυσης και λόγω της μεγάλης βαθμίδας συγκέντρωσης από την μικροπορώδη μήτρα προς μονοπάτια προτιμητέας ροής (preferential flow paths) αέρα (αερισμός). Αντιστοίχως, λόγω της χαμηλής διαπερατότητας του εδάφους, στην περίπτωση της έγχυσης ατμού ο κύριος μηχανισμός απομάκρυνσης των ημι-πτητικών και μη πτητικών συστατικών ήταν η απόσταξη ατμού (δηλαδή η μείωση του σημείου ζέσεως των υδρογονανθράκων λόγω της παρουσίας μη αναμίξιμης υδατικής φάσης).
Η σύγκριση των δύο μεθόδων απορρύπανσης με διάνοιξη οριζόντιων υδραυλικών ρωγμών έδειξε ότι και οι δύο μέθοδοι είναι αρκετά αποδοτικές όσον αφορά στη μείωση της μάζας του ρύπου (~72%) σε ισχυρά ετερογενή εδάφη με ρωγμές. Η έγχυση ατμού όμως είναι πολύ πιο γρήγορη (3 μήνες) από το βιοαερισμό (12 μήνες) αλλά ταυτόχρονα και αρκετά πιο ακριβή από αυτόν (14-25%). Όσον αφορά το ποσοστό μείωσης επικινδυνότητας του υπολειπόμενου ρύπου, ο βιοαερισμός δίνει με μεγάλη διαφορά καλύτερα αποτελέσματα (93%) από ότι η έγχυση ατμού (8-68%) όπου παρατηρείται και μεγάλη διακύμανση τιμών. / Soil contamination by industrial and urban wastes is nowadays one of the most important pollution problems worldwide. The petroleum hydrocarbons are included in the list of toxic pollutants that have contaminated extensive areas all over the world. An inevitable consequence of liquid pollutants release on the ground is their transport by a variety of mechanisms (e.g. gravity flow, dissolution, volatilization, dispersion, sorption, etc) in the unsaturated zone of soil, and subsequent pollution of the underlying aquifers. Conventional methods of ex-situ soil remediation are the soil excavation and its transportation in appropriate places (e.g. incinerator, bio-piles, etc). During the last years, there is a growing interest for the development and application of low-cost and sustainable (low environmental impact) in-situ soil remediation technologies.
In the present work, two relatively new in-situ remediation technologies, bioventing and steam injection, were tested on the vadose zone of a low permeability and fractured glacial till sediment that was contaminated by jet fuel. The experimental site is situated in an abandoned military airport (Kluczewo) in North-Western Poland. The area was polluted extensively by jet fuel over a long period (1935-1992). The geological characterization revealed the existence of vertical desiccation fractures at the upper layers and horizontal/sub-horizontal tectonic fractures at the deeper ones, and a relatively low permeability and heterogeneous micro-porous matrix. The same geologic conditions dominate in a major part of the subsurface in Northern and Central Europe. Due to the multi-scale heterogeneities, ranging from the pore-scale to the field-scale, and the creation of preferential flow paths in such soils, it is very difficult to design successful remediation strategies based on vertical wells. For this reason, in both field experiments (bioventing and steam injection), the soil was stimulated by opening hydraulic fractures which acted as horizontal wells of fluid injection/extraction, and enhanced the influence radius of remediation. The main goal of the work is to evaluate, under field conditions, steam injection and bioventing as sustainable and efficient technologies for the removal of petroleum hydrocarbons from highly heterogeneous soils.
In order to determine the efficiency of each remediation method, soil samples were collected from twelve wells and seven depths, and placed inside specific flasks pre-filled with dichloromethane (DCM). After the accelerated extraction of non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) from the soil and its dissolution in DCM, the composition and concentration of hydrocarbons (NAPL) was performed by using GC-MS and GC-FID. In order to clarify the main NAPL removal mechanisms and evaluate the effectiveness of steam injection and bioventing, lab-scale experiments were also conducted in soil tanks by using synthetic NAPL (PMMA cell with 55 cm x 50 cm x 12 cm dimensions) and keep the conditions comparable to the field ones. Due to pore structure heterogeneities, the main NAPL removal mechanism in bioventing was the volatilization of hydrocarbons and the fast vapour transfer through diffusion (due to the high concentration gradient) from the porous matrix to the high hydraulic conductivity preferential flow paths of injected air (ventilation). Respectively, due to the low soil permeability, in steam injection the main removal mechanism of semi- and non-volatile substances was steam distillation (namely the reduction of NAPL compounds bubble point because of the coexistence of immiscible water).
The comparison of the two remediation technologies, steam injection and bioventing, indicate that both methods are efficient with respect to the reduction of the pollutant mass (~72%) in highly heterogeneous and fractured soils. With respect to cost issues, steam injection albeit faster, is 14-25% more expensive than bioventing. Finally, concerning the risks associated with the reduction of residual NAPL in groundwater, bioventing was more effective (~93%) than steam injection (8-68%).

Previous issue date: 2011-05-23 / Novel cementing materials formulations containing flexible polymeric admixtures have been studied aiming at improving the mechanical behavior of oil well cement slurries submitted to steam injection. However, research activities in this sector are still under development. The steam injected directly into the well causes casing dilation, which after a reduction in temperature, tends to return to its original dimensions, resulting in crack formation and hydraulic isolation loss of the well, which will result in shortening of well life. In this scenario, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the mechanical behavior of Portland-based slurries containing SBR latex, applied in oil well cementing of wells submitted to steam injection. Were formulated slurries with densities of 1.797 g/cm3 (15.0 lb/Gal) and 1.869 g/cm3 (15.6 lb/Gal), containing admixtures with a latex concentration of 0; 66.88; 133.76; 200.64 and 267.52 L/m3 (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 gpc). Tests including rheology, fluid loss control, thickening time, API compressive strength and splitting tensile strength, beyond steam injection simulation. Microstrutural characteristics of the slurries were also performed (XRD, TG, FTIR and SEM). The results showed that increasing the polymer concentration increased in the rheological properties and fluid loss, and a decrease in the elasticity modulus of the cement slurries. The results obtained showed that the slurries can be applied in cementing operations of oil wells submitted to steam injection. / Novas formula??es de pastas de cimento, aditivadas com materiais polim?ricos com caracter?sticas flex?veis, t?m sido estudadas para aplica??o em po?os sujeitos a inje??o de vapor.

O vapor injetado diretamente no po?o provoca a dilata??o do revestimento, o que ap?s redu??o na temperatura, tende a voltar as suas dimens?es iniciais, provocando forma??o de trincas e conseq?ente perda do isolamento hidr?ulico do po?o, que resultar? no encurtamento do tempo de sua vida ?til. Dentro deste contexto, este trabalho tem como objetivo estudar o comportamento mec?nico de sistemas de pastas de cimento Portland, aditivadas com l?tex SBR, para cimenta??o de po?os de petr?leo sujeitos a inje??o de vapor.

Foram realizados ensaios de reologia, controle de filtrado, tempo de espessamento, resist?ncia ? compress?o API e tra??o por compress?o diametral, al?m de simula??es de inje??o de vapor. Tamb?m foram realizadas caracteriza??es microestruturais das pastas de cimento (DRX, TG, FTIR e MEV). Os resultados mostraram que com o aumento da concentra??o do pol?mero ocorreram mudan?as nas propriedades reol?gicas e no volume de filtrado, al?m de uma diminui??o do m?dulo de elasticidade das pastas de cimento. A partir dos resultados obtidos verificou-se que as pastas podem ser aplicadas em opera??es de cimenta??o de po?os de petr?leo sujeitos a inje??o de vapor.

Previous issue date: 2008-08-18 / Steam injection is the most used method of additional recovery for the extraction of heavy oil. In this type procedure is common to happen gravitational segregation and this phenomenon can affect the production of oil and therefore, it shoulds be considered in the projects of
continuous steam injection. For many years, the gravitational segregation was not adequately considered in the calculation procedures in Reservoir Engineering. The effect of the gravity causes the segregation of fluids inside the porous media according to their densities. The results of simulation arising from reservoirs could provide the ability to deal with the gravity, and it became apparent that the effects of the gravity could significantly affect the performance of the reservoir. It know that the gravitational segregation can happen in almost every case where there is injection of light fluid, specially the steam, and occurs with greater intensity for viscous oil reservoirs. This work discusses the influence of some parameters of the rock-reservoir in segregation as viscosity, permeability, thickness, cover gas, porosity. From a model that shows the phenomenon with greater intensity, optimized some operational parameters as the rate flow rate steam, distance between the wells injector-producer, and interval of completion which contributed to the reduction in gravity override, thus increasing the oil recovery. It was shown a greater technical-economic viability for the model of distance between the wells 100 m. The analysis was performed using the simulator of CMG (Computer Modeling Group-Stars 2007.11, in which was observed by iterating between studied variables in heavy oil reservoirs with similar characteristics to Brazilian Northeast / A inje??o de vapor ? o m?todo de recupera??o suplementar mais utilizado para a recupera??o de ?leos pesados.

Por muitos anos, a segrega??o gravitacional n?o era adequadamente considerada em procedimentos de c?lculo em Engenharia de Reservat?rios. O efeito da gravidade faz com que ocorra a segrega??o de fluidos, isto ?, os fluidos tendem a se
arranjar dentro do meio poroso de acordo com as suas densidades. Os resultados advindos de simula??o de reservat?rios forneceram a capacidade para lidar com a gravidade, e tornou-se aparente que os efeitos da gravidade poderiam afetar significativamente o desempenho do

Sabe-se que a segrega??o gravitacional pode ocorrer em quase todos os casos onde h? inje??o de fluidos leves, especialmente o vapor, e ocorre com maior intensidade para reservat?rios de ?leos viscosos. Neste trabalho ? abordada a influ?ncia de alguns par?metros da rocha-reservat?rio na segrega??o como viscosidade, permeabilidade, espessura, capa de g?s e porosidade.

Previous issue date: 2009-06-12 / Petr?leo Brasileiro SA - PETROBRAS / Continuous steam injection is one of heavy oil thermal recovery methods used in the Brazilian Northeast because of high occurrence of heavy oil reservoir. In this process, the oil into the reservoir is heated while reduces, substantially, its viscosity and improves the production. This work analyzed how the shaly sand layers influenced in the recovery. The studied models were synthetics, but the used reservoir data can be extrapolated to real situations of Potiguar Basin. The modeling was executed using the STARS - Steam Thermal and Advanced Process Reservoir Simulator - whose version was 2007.10. STARS
is a tool of CMG Computer Modeling Group. The study was conducted in two stages, the first we analyzed the influence of reservoir parameters in the thermal process, so some of
these were studied, including: horizontal permeability of the reservoir and the layer of shaly sand, ratio of horizontal permeability to vertical permeability, the influence of capillary
pressure layer of shaly sand and as the location and dimensions of this heterogeneity can affect the productivity of oil. Among the parameters studied the horizontal permeability of the reservoir showed the most significant influence on the process followed by diversity. In the second stage three models were selected and studied some operational parameters such as injection rate, distance between wells, production time and completion intervals. Among the operating parameters studied the low rate and intermediate distances between wells showed the best recoveries / A inje??o cont?nua de vapor ? um dos m?todos t?rmicos de recupera??o de ?leos pesados utilizados no Nordeste Brasileiro, devido ? grande ocorr?ncia de reservat?rios contendo este tipo de ?leo.

Neste trabalho foi estudada qual a influ?ncia da presen?a de camadas de areia argilosas no reservat?rio para este tipo de recupera??o. Os modelos s?o sint?ticos, por?m com dados de reservat?rios que podem ser extrapolados para situa??es de aplica??es pr?ticas na Bacia Potiguar que apresenta reservat?rios com essa heterogeneidade. A modelagem foi implementada no simulador de recupera??o t?rmica STARS (Steam, Thermal, and Advanced Processes Reservoir Simulator) vers?o 2007.10 da CMG (Computer Modelling Group). O estudo foi realizado em duas etapas, na primeira foi analisada a influ?ncia dos par?metros de reservat?rio neste processo t?rmico, sendo assim, alguns desses foram estudados, dentre eles: permeabilidade horizontal do reservat?rio e da camada de areia argilosa, rela??o da permeabilidade horizontal com a permeabilidade vertical, influ?ncia da press?o capilar da camada de areia argilosa e como a localiza??o e as dimens?es dessa heterogeneidade podem afetar a produtividade de ?leo. Dentre os par?metros estudados a permeabilidade horizontal do reservat?rio foi o que apresentou maior influ?ncia significativa ao processo seguido da heterogeneidade. Na segunda etapa
foram selecionados tr?s modelos e estudado alguns par?metros operacionais, tais como: vaz?o de inje??o, dist?ncia entre po?os, tempo de produ??o e intervalos de completa??o.

Previous issue date: 2010-03-05 / Petr?leo Brasileiro SA - PETROBRAS / Steam injection is the most used thermal recovery method of oil nowadays because of the high degree of development of the technique that allows high recovery factors. However,
injection of superheated steam into the reservoir affects the entire structure of the well, including the cemented layer that presents a retrogression of compressive strength and increases the permeability due to formation of more crystalline and denser phases at temperatures above 110 ?C. These changes result in failures in the cement that favor the
entrance of formation fluids into the annulus space resulting in unsafe operations and restrictions in the economic life of the well. But the strength retrogression can be prevented
by partial replacement of cement by silica-based materials that reduce the CaO/SiO2 ratio of cement slurries changing the trajectory of the reactions, converting those deleterious phases in phases with satisfactory mechanical strength and permeability. The aim of this study was to evaluate the behavior of a ceramic waste material rich in silica in partial and total substitution of a mineral additive used to fight the strength retrogression of cement slurries subjected to
high temperatures. The evaluation was made by compression, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetry (TG/DTG). The samples were submitted to a cycle of low temperature (38
?C) for 28 days and a cycle of low temperature followed by exposure to 280 ?C and 1000 psi by 3 days. The results showed that slurries with additions of up to 30% of the waste material are not enough to prevent the strength retrogression, while slurries with additions of the waste
material combined with silica flour in various proportions produced hydrated products of low Ca/Si ratios that maintained the compressive strength at satisfactory levels / A inje??o de vapor ? o m?todo t?rmico de recupera??o de ?leo mais utilizado atualmente em virtude do alto grau de desenvolvimento da t?cnica que permite elevados fatores de
recupera??o. No entanto, inje??o de vapor superaquecido no reservat?rio faz com que toda estrutura do po?o seja afetada pela alta temperatura, inclusive a camada cimentada, que
apresenta uma retrogress?o da resist?ncia ? compress?o e um aumento da permeabilidade devido ? forma??o de fases mais cristalinas e mais densas sob temperaturas superiores a 110 ?C. Essas altera??es d?o origem a falhas no cimento que propiciam a entrada de fluidos da forma??o para o espa?o anular, resultando em uma opera??o insegura e limita??es na vida econ?mica do po?o. Por?m, a retrogress?o da resist?ncia pode ser evitada atrav?s da substitui??o parcial do cimento por materiais a base s?lica, os quais reduzem a raz?o CaO/SiO2 das pastas de cimento, modificando, assim, a trajet?ria das rea??es, transformando aquelas fases delet?rias em fases com resist?ncia mec?nica e permeabilidade satisfat?rias. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar o comportamento de um res?duo cer?mico rico em s?lica em
substitui??o parcial e total de um aditivo mineral de uso consagrado no combate a retrogress?o da resist?ncia de pastas de cimento submetidos a altas temperaturas. A avalia??o se deu atrav?s de ensaios de resist?ncia ? compress?o, t?cnicas de difra??o de raios X (DRX)
e termogravimetria (TG/DTG) das pastas submetidas a um ciclo de baixa temperatura (38 ?C) por 28 dias e, tamb?m, um ciclo de baixa temperatura seguido de cura a 280 ?C e 1000 psi por 3 dias. Os resultados mostraram que pastas contendo adi??es de at? 30% do res?duo n?o foram suficientes para evitar a retrogress?o da resist?ncia, enquanto pastas contendo adi??es do res?duo de maneira combinada com a s?lica flour formaram produtos hidratados de baixa rela??o Ca/Si que fizeram com que a resist?ncia se mantivesse em n?veis satisfat?rios

Previous issue date: 2009-12-22 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior / The production of heavy oil fields, typical in the Northeastern region, is commonly stimulated by steam injection. High bottom hole temperatures are responsible not only for the development of deleterious stresses of the cement sheath but also for cement strength retrogression. To overcome this unfavorable scenario, polymeric admixtures can be added to cement slurries to improve its fracture energy and silica flour to prevent strength retrogression. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of the addition of different concentrations of polyurethane (5-25%) to cement slurries containing 40% BWOC silica flour. The resulting slurries were characterized using standard API (American Petroleum Institute) laboratory tests. In addition to them, the mechanical properties of the slurries, including elastic modulus and microhardness were also evaluated. The results revealed that density, free water and stability of the composite cement/silica/polyurethane slurries were within acceptable limits. The rheological behavior of the slurries, including plastic viscosity, yield strength and gel strength increased with the addition of 10% BWOC polyurethane. The presence of polyurethane reduced the fluid loss of the slurries as well as their elastic modulus. Composite slurries also depicted longer setting times due to the presence of the polymer. As expected, both the mechanical strength and microhardness of the slurries decreased with the addition of polyurethane. However, at high bottom hole temperatures, the strength of the slurries containing silica and polyurethane was far superior than that of plain cement slurries. In summary, the use of polyurethane combined with silica is an interesting solution to better adequate the mechanical behavior of cement slurries to heavy oil fields subjected to steam injection / Em campos que possuem ?leos pesados ? necess?rio um meio para estimular o ?leo a fluir pela forma??o, tais reservas s?o caracter?sticas da Regi?o Nordeste do Brasil e necessitam da inje??o de vapor para sua recupera??o. Temperatura elevada no fundo do po?o proporciona tens?es induzidas na bainha de cimento, al?m de favorecer a retrogress?o de resist?ncia do cimento, comprometendo a qualidade da cimenta??o. Sendo assim, adiciona-se em pastas cimentantes, o pol?mero, afim de se promover maior plasticidade e s?lica a para evitar o efeito da perda de resist?ncia mec?nica (retrogress?o). Diante disso, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo estudar o comportamento de pastas de cimento contendo poliuretana em diferentes concentra??es (5% a 25%) e 40% BWOC de s?lica flour. Foram realizados ensaios padronizados pelo API (American Petroleum Institute) e ensaios para obten??o do m?dulo de elasticidade e microdureza, al?m da caracteriza??o das pastas formuladas. Os resultados mostraram que as pastas comp?sitas cimento/s?lica/poliuretana apresentaram valores de peso espec?fico, ?gua livre e estabilidade dentro dos estabelecidos por norma. As propriedades reol?gicas foram modificadas, a viscosidade pl?stica, o limite de escoamento e os g?is aumentaram com a adi??o a partir de 10% BWOC de poliuretana. A poliuretana favoreceu melhor controle de filtrado e diminuiu o m?dulo de elasticidade das pastas. A mesma tamb?m promoveu retardamento da pega do cimento. As propriedades mec?nicas de resist?ncia e microdureza diminu?ram com a adi??o de s?lica e/ou s?lica/poliuretana, entretanto, em alta temperatura a resist?ncia mec?nica das pastas com s?lica e poliuretana tiveram um valor bem superior quando comparado com a pasta de cimento padr?o. A caracteriza??o das pastas mostrou que a adi??o de s?lica e pol?mero diminui o teor de c?lcio do cimento e que h? a forma??o do filme polim?rico. Pol?mero combinado com cimento e s?lica pode ser usado como aditivo para diminuir o m?dulo de elasticidade e, desta forma, fornecer maior plasticidade e resist?ncia ?s ciclagens t?rmicas ocasionadas pelo processo de inje??o de vapor
