摘要

An asphaltene threat has been identified in production wells located in a Gulf of Mexico (GOM)rndeepwater field. After production started from different reservoirs and the operating conditions for somernof the wells reached the asphaltene precipitation onset, solid deposits were detected at different points inrnthe production system, which caused production deferrals, disturbed the operating strategy of the field,rnand increased the operational expenditure. To remediate asphaltene deposition in deepwater subsea wells,rna rig-less remediation costs up to $0.12 million (MM); a well intervention that requires a rig costsrnapproximately $20 MM, and a vessel-based pumping remediation costs about $5 MM. These costs do notrninclude the impact of production deferrals.rnA plan was developed to acquire and interpret the required information to properly understand andrnmanage the asphaltene threat. The methodology includes:rn1. Acquisition of suitable downhole reservoir fluid samples for asphaltene and wax studiesrn2. Characterization of the reservoir fluids in the laboratory using the latest asphaltene and waxrntechnologies.rn3. Observation of the effect of chemicals on solids builds up during field trialsrn4. Surveillance of damage near wellbore using Pressure Transient Analysis (PTA) and Multi-RaternTest (MRT)rn5. Real time monitoring of normalized nodal analysis based on frictional pressure losses.rnDuring the characterization of the reservoir fluids, asphaltenes were identified as key risk factor forrnsuccessful field development. The laboratory tests showed the propensity for solids formation andrnconfirmed that the variety of reservoir fluids had an asphaltene deposition envelope that extended fromrnthe reservoir rock to the topsides facilities. Solids collected from pigging returns, surface equipment, andrnfailed downhole equipment confirmed the reservoir fluid’s asphaltene deposition tendency. In some cases,rnfield trials showed that increasing the concentration of asphaltene inhibitor injection resulted in increasedrnbuild-up of organic deposits. PTA and MRT enable the identification of flow restrictions from thernreservoir to the permanent downhole gauge location and real-time monitoring of normalized nodalrnanalysis help to identify where the impediment to flow is located in the production system. rnThis paper presents an integrated approach to evaluate the key elements of asphaltene risk forrndeepwater projects, the strategy to manage the issues during production implementation, and lay out thernaspects to be considered in the mitigation of the negative impact of asphaltene thread in the fieldrndevelopment plan.
