Hydrofrac is a process which initiates a small openings in the tight reservoirs. This course is speacially prepared for person those who have knowledge / understanding of design and operation of hydro fracturing jobs. This type of lesson learn shall help them to increase their capability of operation of HT/HP well. This course will explain the details process of hydro fracturing of HT/HP well & concept of planning , designing , operation and well flow back after fracking. The strength and weakness of various approaches for HF design and execution , like as pumping plan , perforation,proppant selection , frac fluid selection and design of fracturing job etc. Attendees should leave the advance course with through understanding of HF Job & how to analysis post frac flow back process and there after monitoring.

​

Top Reasons to Attend : 

​

• Gain firsthand knowledge and understanding of HF operation.

• ​

• Familiar with data needed for fracturing.

• ​

• Find more information for proper planning of HF Job.

• ​

• Understand the planning and procurement well completion equipment , proppant , fracturing fluids , drilling fluids etc HPHT wells.

• ​

• Master the skills for designing , planning & execution of fracturing operation in HPHT well.

Development of deep water oil and gas fields are very difficult. This needs proper meticulous planning including selection of proper technology. Advanced reservoir modelling is needed to produce from this type of deepwater oil and gas reservoir i.e levies and fans.

​

For drilling in deep water fields various aspect of bathymetric study of sea bed , survey to be conducted for selection of types of deep water rigs and mooring pattern. Proper types of BOP , riser tensioning system , subsea well heads , design of mud matetc are also to be designed.

​

This course will explain the details process of sub-sea completion of deep water drilling & concept of planning , designing , operation & engagement of FPSO with a suitable mooring system/SBM types. The strength and weakness of various approaches for design flow assurance technique during flowing of sub-sea wells , perforation plan , proper selection of sand control methods and design of well completion jobs etc.

​

Attendees should leave the advance course with thorough understanding of suitable modes of commissioning / decommissioning of FPSO system in incremental weathers window and there after monitoring weather vanning period for recommissioning of FPSO with SBM.

Enhanced Oil Recovery

Dr. Rk Vij - About Your Expert Coach

​

Dr. Rakesh Kumar Vij holds Ph.D in enhanced oil recovery  and has four decades of experience in various facets of E & P industry in on-shore and offshore fields. Dr. Vij was Executive Director and Asset Manager of ONGC's Jorhat Asset and was advisor to ONGC after his superannuation in June 2017.

​

Dr. Vij joined ONGC as a Reservoir Engineer and worked for more than a decade at the Institute of Reservoir Studies ( ONGC - IRS ) , which is a nodal agency for spear heading EOR processes across India. Dr Vij was responsible for designing the first miscible gas process for Gandhar Field and initiated the MEOR process.

​

Oil exploitation process being initiated after discovery and delineation process are over.Normally the drive mechanism operating for a field decides the primary recovery process and anticipated recovery at the end of self-production period. However significant amount of oil remained unexploited after initial stage of production. It varies from 30% to 50% oil in place,which can be exploited by adopting IOR and EOR processes. Application of particular EOR depends upon the rock characteristic , fluid characteristic and interaction among themselves which is unique for individual reservoir.

​

Various types of EOR being screened for each field in question and suitability depends upon the success of the process in reservoir conditions. Wherein the process implementations improves sweep efficiency and thereby improve the recovery factor over and above the primary recovery. Chemical EOR methods are most prevalent and easy to identify the success in laboratory conditions. Miscible and immiscible gas injection processes, although efficient processes but however the availability of hydrocarbon gases remained a big question mark.

​

The applicability of Thermal EOR processes are dependent on the quality of crude and are economically a difficult option and lack in reaching good efficiencies.

​

Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery Process ( MEOR ), although at nascent stage is economically and technically considered as a feasible process and is still spreading its wings.

​

The course will take up various case studies of Indian Fields and will discuss the international scenario at present cost of crude oil.
