36. Hung Vo Thanh, Yuichi Sugai, Ronald Nguele, Kyuro Sasaki, Integrated Artificial Neural Network and Object-based Modelling for Enhancement History Matching in a Fluvial Channel Sandstone Reservoir, SPE Asia Pacific Oil and Gas Conference and Exhibition, 2019.10, Modelling accurately lithofacies and petrophysical properties is an important yet challenging process especially at the beginning of exploration and production from hydrocarbon reservoirs. However, the limited amount of well data and core data are the main issues facing conventional modelling processes. In this paper, Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Sequential Gaussian Simulation (SGS), Co-kriging and object-based modelling (OBM) were integrated as the enhancement framework for lithofacies and petrophysical properties modelling in the fluvial channel sandstone reservoir.
In the OBM, multiple fluvial channels were generated in the lithofacies model. The result of this model represented all the characteristic of the fluvial channel reservoir. The model was then distributed with channels, crevasse, and leeves depositional facies with background shale. Multiple geological realizations were made and cross-validation to select the most suitable lithofacies distribution. This model was cross-validated by modelling the porosity and permeability properties using Sequential Gaussian Simulation.
Thereafter, the modelling process continued with Artificial Neural Network. Petrophysical properties (mainly porosity and permeability) were predicted by training various seismic attributes and well log data using the ANN. Applying the co-kriging algorithm, the predicted ANN model was integrated with OBM simulated lithofacies model to preserve the fluvial features of the geological system. To achieve full field history matching, the final geological model was upscaled to serve as input data in dynamic history matching.
An excellent and nearly perfect history matching with a least mismatch was obtained between the measurement and simulated bottom hole pressure from well test and production history. The results indicated that an efficient integrated workflow of ANN and other geostatistical approaches are imperative to attaining an excellent history matching..

74. Yuichi Sugai, Keita Komatsu, Kyuro Sasaki, Estimation of IFT Reduction by a Biomass Material and Potential of Its Utilization for EOR, SPE Asia Pacific Oil and Gas Conference and Exhibition, 2015.10, Surfactant injection is one of the most effective EOR techniques. Chemical surfactants however pose a few problems such as their high cost and low-degradability. We study on the utilization of biomass such as agricultural fertilizer mainly comprising the residue of squeezed beer yeast for EOR as an alternative of chemical surfactants because crude oil can be completely miscible with the fertilizer solution. The fertilizer can be stably supplied at a low cost because it is a waste of beer brewing industry and is only used for an animal feed additive so far. Its retail price is approximately 1 USD/kg in Japan.
We semi-quantitatively estimated the interfacial tension (IFT) between the fertilizer solution and crude oil by the oil displacement test. Concentration of the fertilizer was varied between 10 to 50 g/L. The fertilizer solution to which sodium chloride was added at a concentration of 10 to 40 g/L was hydrothermally treated at 60, 80, 100 or 120 ºC for 10, 20, 30, 45 or 60 minutes respectively before the tests. The fertilizer solution to which crude oil was added at a ratio of 1 % was also hydrothermally treated at 120 ºC for 20 minutes. Solution of surfactin which was a commercial biosurfactant was used as a standard of the IFT.
The IFT was reduced with the decrease in salinity and increase in concentration of the fertilizer and temperature of the hydrothermal treatment. Time of the hydrothermal treatment was preferably 30 minutes or less for the IFT reduction. The capability of 50 g/L of fertilizer solution to reduce the IFT was almost same as the capability of 0.2 g/L of the surfactin solution. Because the fertilizer solution comes into contact with residual oil under high temperature in oil reservoir, IFT between the solution and crude oil can be expected to be reduced in-situ.
Core flooding experiments were carried out by injecting the fertilizer solution after the water flooding as the primary oil recovery. 1.2 % of original oil in place was additionally recovered by injecting 50 g/L of the fertilizer solution after the water flooding.
The fertilizer should be biodegradable because it is a microbially-derived substance. In addition, because the IFT reduction was observed after the hydrothermal treatment of the fertilizer solution, the fertilizer should be effective even in the reservoir whose temperature is high such as 120 ºC at which chemical surfactants may be deactivated. From those results, the injection of the fertilizer solution can be a promising EOR which has both high cost performance, low environmental load and high versatility..

83. Yuichi Sugai, Keita Komatsu, Kyuro Sasaki, Kristian Mogensen, Martin Vad Bennetzen, Microbial-Induced Oil Viscosity Reduction by Selective Degradation of Long-Chain Alkanes, Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference 2014, 2014.11, Application of a thermophilic anaerobic bacterium which degrades long-chain alkanes of crude oil preferentially and induces oil viscosity reduction to MEOR in our target oilfield was evaluated in this study. Although the salinity of formation-water in our target reservoir is approximately 10 % which is considerably higher than the optimum salinity for the bacterium, the bacterium can grow well and induce oil viscosity reduction in the formation-water which was diluted with sea-water whose salinity was approximately 4 % and contained yeast extract as a nitrogen source. Oil viscosity was reduced to 70 percent of its original viscosity after two-week incubation of the bacterium in the culture medium consisting of sea-water supplemented with 1.0 g/L of yeast extract.
The performance of MEOR using this bacterium was evaluated by numerical simulation using two dimensional oil-water two-phase flow model. This model consists of 6 compositions: degraded oil, undegraded oil, brine, bacterium, sodium chloride and yeast extract. Undegraded oil and yeast extract are carbon source and nitrogen source for the bacterial growth respectively. Growth rate of the bacterium is calculated by Monod equation depending on the variables of the concentration of yeast extract and sodium chloride. Conversion of undegraded oil into degraded oil is depended on the proliferation of the bacterium. Growth of the bacterium is stopped by deficiency of either yeast extract or undegraded oil. Oil viscosity is reduced as the percentage of degraded oil in oil phase increases. Residual oil saturation is improved by oil viscosity reduction and enhancement of oil recovery can be obtained.
According to the numerical experiments, growth of the bacterium and oil viscosity reduction were found only around the injection well because the bacterium consumed whole yeast extract around there. Recovery factor therefore can be increased by increase of injection volume of yeast extract. As a result, enhancement of oil recovery reached to 5 % by 1.0 pore volume injection of sea-water containing the bacterium and 1.0 g/L of yeast extract. 100 bbl of oil was recovered additionally by using 1.0 tons of yeast extract in that case..
