The article describes some acoustic device, developed for measuring a well’s zenith angle while drilling. The principle of the device operation that is based on quarter-wave acoustic resonator is discussed. Frequency f, absorbed out of the sound spectrum by the quarter-wave acoustic resonator represents information about the zenith angle value. Extending from the bottom of the well, the sound vibration reaches the leading pipe on the surface through the casing string. The transducer in the form of a piezoceramic element is installed on the surface of the leading pipe. Using the spectrogram as an indicator of the well-known absorbed particles from the sound-absorbing resonator, it can be possible to determine the well’s zenith angle value.

 

Key words: directional survey; drilling; azimuth; deviated wells; quarter-wave acoustic resonator; band pass filter; well bottom; elastic waves; frequency; sound vibration; spectrogram.

Rules of oil accounting are considered from metrological point of view. The analysis of a number of newly introduced concepts in the field of measurement and accounting of oil net weight is carried out. It is shown that they don’t comply with the applicable terms and definitions set forth in the standards. The analysis of the method, contained in the Rules, that is applied for measuring of oil net weight, produced from each well, reveals the fact that the method doesn’t have the error measurement standards and isn’t certified in the prescribed manner. Consideration of the method applied for verifying the results of determination of oil net weight, produced during the reporting period for each well, witnessed the fact that it is unsubstantiated from metrological point of view. In fact, the Rules envisage accounting of oil net weight proceeding from the treated (commodity) oil. In conclusion, the article offers some recommendations on perfecting the Rules of oil accounting.

 

Key words: Rules of oil accounting; oil net weight; ballast weight; standards of accuracy.

The importance of accounting of non-equilibrium phase behavior of hydrocarbons during field development is shown based on a review of experimental results of different authors. An analysis of specific features and sources of non-equilibrium effects occurrence during phase transitions is carried out. Particularly, hysteresis of phase transitions both in bulk volume and in porous media is considered. Segregation of the phases due to gravity is shown to be one of the sources of non-equilibrium behavior. The estimates of characteristic time of the system relaxation to an equilibrium state are given. Several identity models that account of non-equilibrium phase behavior of hydrocarbon mixtures are discussed.

 

Key words: hydrocarbons; multi-component mixtures; non-equilibrium phase behavior; oil; gas; condensate; hysteresis of phase transitions; relaxation; segregation.

Integrity and reliability of hydrocarbons transmission pipelines is of primary interest for oil and gas companies, consumers and other interested parties in connection with the adverse effects and financial losses in the event of a system failure. The approach proposed in the article in the field of risk management is aimed at helping the owners of transmission and distribution pipeline companies to take into account the multidimensional consequences that can arise as a result of pipeline accidents, to decide whether and where to take preventive measures, justified decisions or corrective actions to prevent adverse technological developments. The article substantiates the use of fuzzy logic methods for modeling uncertainty in the risk assessment of a pipeline operation. The proposed model is implemented in the MATLAB graphical software package, using Mamdani algorithm based on expert knowledge, the implementation and comparison of the classical approach of risk assessment and the proposed model are made. The results show that the proposed model improves the accuracy of the situation assessment, and can also be taken as an intelligent risk assessment tool in a variety of engineering problems.

 

Key words: risk assessment; fuzzy sets; underwater pipeline.

Some mathematical model and algorithms of automated building of the best time dependence of a well flow-rate are developed on the basis of the actual field data. The article suggests describing a well production rate by some smooth curves that take into account the general trend of wells towards their flow rate decrease. Such a trend of the flow rate can be approximated by monotonically decreasing functions. The performed analysis of the field data on flow-rate per well served the basis for determining the most typical two- and three-parametric functions to be used for the approximation of the well flow-rate from time.

 

Key words: approximation of a well flow-rate; mathematical model; monotonically decreasing function.
