Chemical and metrological assurance in the production of hydrocarbons

The purpose of the course — characterization of the main chemical analysis methods used for quality control of oil and natural gas, environmental monitoring, as well as pay attention to questions of sampling and sample preparation, and general issues related to the measurement, processing and interpreting the results of chemical analysis. The directly extraction of hydrocarbons from the depths is only part of the work. Chemical composition of oil and gas should be controlled according to the technical conditions as well as it is necessary to carry out the analysis of water, air and soil near the places of hydrocarbon production for timely detection of environmental pollutants. For these tasks several methods are useful: gas chromatography, spectrophotometry, atomic spectroscopy, titration, potentiometry and coulometry. Within the practical training session students will learn the basic principles that could be used to perform analysis using any method.

Petrophysics oil and gas reservoirs and confining beds

Oil and gas, as opposed to solid minerals are movable type of minerals. Their movement in porous rocks depends on the physical properties of reservoir rock. Quantitative parameters reservoirs and confining beds are the basis for determination of the optimal mode of mining, evaluation of hydrocarbon reserves, the definition of enhanced oil recovery methods, assessment of environmental risks that may arise while mining. The aim of the course is to develop knowledge about the physical properties of rocks oil and gas occurrence, theoretical and practical aspects of petrophysical studies of reservoirs and confining beds, the physical basis of increase of oil and gas extraction rate. Mandatory component of the discipline are laboratory classes, which provides skills of practical techniques methods for determining important characteristics of reservoir rocks and how to calculate and build petrophysical data dependency based on industrial and geophysical studies well and core.

Development and exploitation of oil and gas deposits

Extraction of oil and gas process is determined by three components: drilling technology, geological search, intensification of wells work and underground hydraulic (hydrogasdynamics in layers and networks). Development of modern deposits should take into account the complex effect and theoretical capabilities of these components. This discipline delivers a comprehensive picture of the main aspects of the development and operation of oil and gas fields and related processes: basic processes of development of oil and gas, basic technologies and systems to maintain reservoir pressure, increase the extraction rate from layers, technologies and methods of operation, research, wells work intensification. Reveals the basic theory of reservoir fluid inflow to the bottom of the well, lifting multiphase flows in the wellbore. Highlights problems of collection and preparing of oil, gas and water on places of extraction. Particularly relevant themes discipline is the selection of optimal methods for intensification specific fields, additional exploration and additional extraction methods for particular fields, research and summarize the best geological and industrial experience.
