Training Course: Flow-Control-Devices for Thermal Recovery Operations
Ticketed Event
Instructor(s)
Mazda Irani
This 1-day course is an introduction to design and optimization of Flow-Control-Devices (FCDs) and to thermodynamics and pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) in horizontal wells in Thermal Recovery Operations for both SAGD and SA-SAGD. The interaction between reservoir and FCD, and design charts created to evaluate the response of the FCD are discussed.
The following topics will be covered:
- Different types of the Flow-Control-Devices defining their characteristic curves, and Operating Principles of FCDs
- The review of Previous Use of the Flow-Control-Devices in Canadian SAGD projects: pros and cons.
- Introduction to thermodynamics and pressure-volume-temperature (PVT): basic law such as: Clausius-Clapeyron Equation, Dalton's law, Henry's Law and Raoult’s law are explained and practical examples such as temperature reduction in chamber due to NCG injection, and temperature reduction at Azeotropic point in ES-SAGD process will be solved numerically.
- Production Challenges in Solvent Operation: Liquid-pool model and concept will be explained and concern with steam trap control for Nsolv will be discussed and numerically explained.
- Effects of Steam quality on Inflow- Control-Devices (ICD) and Outflow-Control-Devices (OCD).
- Flashing effect in FCD for both SAGD and SA-SAGD applications
- Liquid Pool modeling: a method to calculate the liquid pool level from temperature profile in observation wells will be discussed, and an algebraic equation for liquid pool depletion based on wellbore drawdown, subcool and emulsion productivity is generated and discussed in practical examples. A minimum subcool concept (or target reservoir subcool) is discussed and calculated as a function of skin and pressure draw-down.
