The operations detected more than 100 wells with hydrate-free regimes, which resulted in a series of workovers to optimize methanol use. Using the proven field model, the joint team of Severneftegazprom and Schlumberger engineers analyzed well operating regimes to estimate the rate of gas hydrate formation. A comparison of model forecasts against observed data determined that the model was of excellent quality. Data sources included well test results, pressure/volume/temperature data, daily production reports, and data from the SCADA system.

PIPESIM software was used to build models of all the production wells and the pipeline network, from downhole to processing plant input. Using the simulation approach helped to optimize well regimes, to decrease daily volumes of methanol injection, and to improve quality control of measured data from wells and well test results. PIPESIM software also analyzes flowline and surface facility performance to generate comprehensive production system analysis. Software tools model multiphase flow from the reservoir to the wellhead. PIPESIM software is a steady-state, multiphase flow simulator for the design and diagnostic analysis of oil and gas production systems. It initiated a joint project with Schlumberger to create and analyze the PIPESIM field model. Severneftegazprom selected the Schlumberger PIPESIM solution for automated field development analysis. To achieve field development cost-effectiveness, the company requiresĪccurate well models, correctly tuned gas production network models, and theĪbility to determine which wells require methanol injection. Transporting this chemical to the field by seasonal ferry. Methanol itself, there are complications and extra costs related to Severneftegazprom routinely injects methanol into pipelines and every Without preventive action, these gas hydrates can cause flow issues Severneftegazprom produces 27 billion m3/year.Įxtraction and transportation of gas is complicated by gas hydrateįormation. The company producesįrom the Cenomanian reservoir of the Yuzhno-Russkoe field. Global pipeline project, which starts operating in 2011. Joint stock company Severneftegazprom, with stakeholders Gazprom, BASF,Īnd E.On, is a base supplier of natural gas for first stage of the Nord Stream
