SPE STTS Savvy Separator ShopTalk # 2 - Effect of Pressure on Mist Eliminators

By Moize Turkey posted 06-23-2024

In today’s era of higher expectations, achieving higher benefits requires better knowledge on the part of users. It is no longer adequate for a designer to simply indicate “mist eliminator” in the data sheets. In order to design a phase separation vessel appropriately, it is very important to check the performance of the system (inlet to outlet) rather than just concentrating on the demisting device. Of course, selecting and appropriately sizing the correct mist elimination device is the most critical of those. Ever been told that you have to derate mist eliminators as pressure increases? Or don’t use vanes above a certain pressure? What is happening ...

(This draft is taken from my personal website formation evaluation, reservoir engineering consulting firm for E&P (reservoirsignals.wixsite.com) . Please visit this site for more information.) Its been almost more than 100 years since first drop of oil was taken out from Earth and we are now more than ever dependent on this Black Gold which has revolutionized human development to present. In layman term’s this Dirty fluid keeps the world moving and one of the most important role is played by oil in getting us to where we are now. Well, Let’s think about the future, not the past.

Advanced Deep Learning for microseismic events prediction for hydraulic fracture treatment via Continuous Wavelet Transform

By Mohamed Adel Gabry posted 06-11-2024
Be the first person to like this.
Abstract Understanding hydraulic fracture propagation events would enable operators to estimate the fracture geometry, understand formation/fracture interactions, and estimate the total microseismic events cloud. This paper introduces a new method for understanding the dynamic fracture propagation events using a signal processing technique. Detection of the dynamic fracture event using continuous wavelet transform (CWT) is used to train a deep learning model with microseismic events to predict this cloud for every hydraulic fracture job. The deep learning model is used for the same formation. The CWT for treatment pressure is a convolution process that involves ...

New Technique Fracture closure detection using Continuous wavelet Transform

By Mohamed Adel Gabry posted 04-16-2024
Be the first person to like this.
The diagnostic fracture injection test (DFIT) is widely used to obtain fracture closure pressure, reservoir permeability, and reservoir pressure during hydraulic fracturing operations. Conventional methods for analyzing DFIT data assume a vertical well drilled in ultra-low permeability reservoirs and account for potential multiple fracture closures. However, these traditional techniques have limitations and make assumptions that can conflict with each other, leading to greatly varying approximations of closure pressure and duration, especially for horizontal wells. To address this issue, a new method for detecting fracture closure pressure using continuous wavelet ...

Not long ago, I shared a post on LinkedIn that generated a lot of interest: 👉 link to post ‍ “Do you have this dynamic PDF with well test interpretation models by the IFP? It’s awesome… Wellbore, reservoir, and boundary models are listed, with live links to pages showing their log-log response. They’re color-coded and tell you which parameters are extracted from each region of the plot.” This invaluable resource was produced by the IFP in 2002 (get it here ). However, one downside is the need to open a PDF file every time you wish to consult it, which can be inconvenient. You might not always have the file at hand, or you may need ...
