What is Energy?

Energy is the ability to do work


Energy is what makes things move,
light up, give comfort, etc.
It is in the form of usable heat or
power
It is a source of usable power, such as
petroleum, natural gas, coal, nuclear
energy, hydropower, biomass, solar
energy, geothermal, wind, etc.

Application of new technology has made oil sands commercially


viable. Canada recently expanded its oil reserves by 174 billion
barrels to reflect the production expected to come from oil sands
in the future.

What does unconventional mean?


Unconventional oil and natural gas is exactly the same
commodity as conventional oil and natural gas. The word
unconventional is typically applied to major new advances in
extraction technology in the oil and natural gas industry that
allow access to resources not previously technically or
economically recoverable. In recent years, unconventionals
have included oil sands, extra-heavy oil extraction
technologies and deep water drilling technologies.
As an example; unconventional natural gas is produced from
low permeability source rock using a combination of horizontal
drilling, which exposes more of the subsurface to the well, and
hydraulic fracturing, which creates pathways that allow the oil
and natural gas to flow through the dense rock into that
wellbore.

31

8.9.2014

Unconventional Gas Resources


Unconventional gas refers to a part of the gas resource base that has
traditonally been considered difficult or costly to produce. Three main
categories of unconventional gas:
Shale gas is natural gas contained within a commonly occuring rock
classified as shale. Shale formations are characterized by low permeability
with more limited ability of gas to flow through the rock than in the case
with a conventional reservoir. These formations are often rich in organic
matter and unlike most hydrocarbon reservoirs, are typically the original
source of the gas, i.e. the shale gas is gas that has remained trapped or
close to its source rock.
Coalbed methane, also known as coal seam gas in Australia, is natural gas
contained in coalbeds. Although extraction of coalbed methane was initially
undertaken to make mines safer, it is now typically produced from nonmineable coal seams.
Tight gas is a general term for natural gas found in low-permeability
formations. Generally, tight gas is clasiffied as those low permeability gas
reservoirs that cannot be produced economically without the use of
technologies to stimulate flow of the gas towards the well, such as
hydraulic fracturing.

Separation Between Drinking Water Aquifers and Hydraulic Fractures


About 5-10
thousand tonnes of
water are needed
to drill and
fracture a single
unconventional gas
well. During the
fracturing process
water is mixed
with chemicals and
sand before
injection into the
well. This has led
to the emergence
of environmental
and community
concerns about the
chemical
composition of
fracturing fluid.
Migration of natural has and fracturing fluid from the source rock upwards through
thousands of feet of impermeable formations into drinking water aquifers is higly
unlikely, if not impossible.

US Natural Gas Production


Unconventional gas, shale gas
in particular, has
transformed the US gas
market. Technologies such as
horizontal drilling or hydrofracturing has made
accessible deposits previously
considered unrecoverable.
The addition of shale gas
reserves helped to boost US
proved gas reserves by
almost 50% over the last
decade.

Fossil fuel CO2 emissions

(IHS Energy, 2014)

Natural gas when combusted it results in


the lowest CO2 emissions of any fossil fuel.
When used to generate electricity, natural
gas emits as much as 50% less CO2 than
coal. Natural gas use results in negligible
emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen
oxides (NOx), mercury, and particulates
compared with other fuels.

ENERGY PROJECTIONS TO 2035


HIGHLIGHTS
Global energy demand increases by 40-51% between 2009
and 2035 depending on scenarios assumed. Demand grows for
all energy sources.
The focus of growth in both energy demand and supply
switches away from the OECD. Nearly 90% of global energy
demand growth is in non-OECD countries.
Global investment in the energy infrastucture of $38 trillion
is required over the period 2011 and 2035.
Global energy-related CO2 emissions increase by 20%,
following a trajectory consistent with a long-term rise in the
average global temperature in excess of 3.5oC.

and population growth.
Renewable energy technologies account for half of cumulative
additional capacity (5 900 GW) and 60% of the investment.
From 2009 to 2035, 44% of the increase in electricity generation
comes from renewables. Mainly driven by government policies,
generation from non-hydro renewables increases from 3% of the
total in 2009 to over 15% in 2035.
In the New Policies Scenario, over two-fifths of global investment
in the power sector goes to transmision and distribution (T&D) to
replace ageing infrastructure currrently in use.
The increased use of renewables and improved plant efficiency
reduce the CO2 intensity of the power sector by about 30% until
2035.

Renewable energy
It is any energy resource that is naturally
regenerated over a short time scale and either
derived directly from solar energy (solar
thermal, photochemical, and photoelectric),
indirectly from the sun (wind, hyrdopower, and
photo-synthetic energy stored in biomass), or
from other natural energy flows (geothermal,
tidal, wave, and current energy).
Renewable resources can be converted to
nonrenewable resources if they are depleted or
degraded by humans faster than natural
processes renew them.
129

spacecraft that orbit the Earth and Mars,
and spacecraft going to other destinations
in the inner solar system. In the outer solar
system, the sunlight is too weak to produce
sufficient power and radioisotope thermal
generators are used.

Renewables hydrogen
Hydrogen is like electricity in that it is an energy carrier,
not a primary source-it is derived from the conversion of
some other form of energy. It can be manufactured from
a variety of sources, including natural gas, coal, nuclear
energy and all forms of renewable energy.
When used as a fuel in combustion processes or in fuel
cells, hydrogen has minimal emissions relative to
conventional fuels.
Potential end uses of hydrogen include fuel cell vehicle
technology as well as stationary power generation.
As a potential complement to electricity as one of the two
primary long-term energy carriers, hydrogen ultimately
could offer a transition from todays energy mix that is as
significant as that from wood to coal, or coal to oil.
Hydrogen-Powered
Vehicles

Hydrogen powered passenger aircraft


with cryogenic tanks along spine of
fuselage. Hydrogen fuel requires about 4
times the volume of standard jet fuel
(kerosene).

Renewables hydrogen
Although hydrogen has about three times the energy
density of gasoline per kilogram, making it ideal as a
rocket fuel, it has a very low energy density on a
volumetric basis.
This poses significant economic and technical challenges
to the transmission and storage of hydrogen.

Renewables geothermal
Geothermal energy is the energy in the form of
natural heat flowing outward from within the
earth and contained in rocks, water, brines, or
steam. This heat is poduced mainly by the decay
of naturally occuring radioactive isotops of
thorium, potassium, and uranium in the earths
core.
It is exploited at suitable sites:
* For electricity generation usuing dry steam or
high enthalpy brine after flashing
* Directly as heat for district heating,
agriculture, etc.
156

Heat flow outward from Earths interior. The crust insulates us from
Earths interior heat. The mantle is semi-molten, the outer core is liquid
157
and the inner core is solid.

Renewables geothermal
Earth Core
It is the central region of the earth, originating at a depth
of about 2900 km, outside of which are the mantle and the
crust.
It is thought to consist of a molten outer core and a solid
inner core; the temperature of the inner core is not known
but has been estimated at 5000-7000oC.
Crust
It is the outermost region of the earth, from the surface
itself to a depth of about 70 km beneath land surfaces
(continental crust) and 10 km below ocean surfaces (oceanic
crust).

Renewables geothermal
Geothermal reservoir:
It is a subsurface system consisting of a large volume of hot
water and steam trapped in porous and fractured hot rock
underneath a layer of impermeable rock; some reservoirs can
be commercially developed as an energy source.

Geothermal system:
It is a localized geological environment in which circulating
steam or hot water carries some of the earths natural
internal heat flow close enough to the surface to be employed
for productive human use. It describes the total hydrological
system consisting of the reservoir and its natural recharge
and discharge parts.

Realities About Energy-1


Petroleum, natural gas and coal will remain
indispensable to meeting total projected energy
demand growth.
The world is not running out of energy sources, but
there are accumulating risks to continuing expansion
of petroleum and natural gas production from the
conventional sources relied upon historically.
To mitigate these risks, expansion of all economic
energy sources will be required, including coal,
nuclear, biomass, other renewables, and
unconventional petroleum and natural gas. Each of
these sources faces significant challenges including
safety, environmental, political, or economic hurdles,
and imposes infrastructure requirements for
development and delivery.
NPC/USA, 2007; NPC:National Petroleum Council

Realities About Energy-2


Energy Independence should not be confused with
strengthening energy security. The concept of energy
independence is not realistic in the foreseeable
future, whereas energy security can be enhanced by
moderating demand, expanding and diversifying
domestic energy supplies, and strengthening global
energy trade and investment.
The energy sector workforce, including skilled
scientists and engineers, must be replenished and
trained.
Policies aimed at curbing carbon dioxide emissions will
alter the energy mix, increase energy-related costs,
and require reductions in demand growth.

Energy

Terms & Definitions


Units & Conversion Factors

122

8.9.2014

Energy
It is defined classically as the capacity to do work.
It is used to perform useful functions for humans,
such as heating or cooling buildings, powering
vehicles and machinary, lighting, coolking foods, and
so on.
Forms of energy: Potential energy, kinetic energy,
thermal energy, nuclear energy, electromagnetic
energy, and gravitational energy.
Energy can be transformed from one form to
another. For example, a steam turbine converts
thermal energy to mechanical energy.
A form of matter that can transport energy from
one point to another, e.g., electricity, hydrogen. So
they are called energy carriers.

Energy

The scientific concept of energy serves to reveal the common


features in processes such as burning fuels, propelling machines
or charging batteries.
Work is simply the application of a force over a distance. Work
is energy that has been used. When you do work, you use
energy. Work and energy are closely related. The units of work
are the same as the units of energy.
Power is a measure of how quickly work can be done. It is the
rate at which energy is converted from one form to another, or
transferred from one place to another.
To change the motion of any object, a force is needed.
Whenever a force is moving something, it must be providing
energy.
Force (N, newton) = Mass (kg) x Acceleration (m/s2)
Power (W, watt) = Force (N) x Speed (m/s)
Energy (J, joules) = Force (N) x Distance (m)
246

123

8.9.2014

Energy

Mass is defined as the measure of how much matter an object or


body contains the total number of subatomic particles (electrons,
protons and neutrons) in the object. If you multiply your mass by
the pull of Earths gravity, you get your weight.
When you step on a bathroom scale, you exert a force on the
scale. If your mass is 60 kg, the force (weight) you exert is:
Force = 60 kg x 9.81 m/s2 = 589 N = 60 kg
since 1 N =
0.102 kg- force
If the power of an electric heater is 1 kW, and it runs for an
hour, we say that it consumed one kilowatt-hour (kWh) of energy.
If the power is 10 kW, it consumes 1 kWh in just six minutes.
1 kW = 1000 W = 1000 J/s,
1 kWh = 3.6x106 Joules =
3.6 MJ
Energy is also often measured simply in terms of quantities of fuel,
such as tonnes of coal or oil. Energy statistics often use the unit
million tonnes of oil equivalent ( 1 Mtoe = 41.9 PJ ).
P = peta = 1015
247

Forms of Energy

Potential energy is awating to be converted into power. The


potential energy (PE) (in joules) stored in raising an object of
mass m (in kilograms) to a height h (in meters) is:
PE (J) = force (N) x distance (m) = weight x height = mxgxh
Kinetic energy (KE) is energy of motion. This is equal to half
the mass of the object times the square of its speed:
KE (J) = x mass (kg) x speed2 [(m/s)2] = x m x v2
Thermal energy, or heat, is the name given to the kinetic
energy associated with rapid random motion of atoms of a
material.
Chemical energy of an object is the energy which may
potentailly be liberated as a result of transformations of
chemical substances it is composed of. When atoms come
together to form molecules or solid materials, the distribution
of electrons is changed, often with dramatic effect. When a
fuel is burned, the chemical energy it contains is converted
into heat energy.
Nuclear energy provides the energy released from nuclear
fission and nuclear fussion processes.
Electromagnetic energy is a type of electrical energy carried
by electromagnetic radiation.

124

8.9.2014

Energy Density, Intensity, and Efficiency

Energy density: It is a statement of the energy content


of a fuel or energy storage device per unit mass or
volume.

Energy intensity: It is amount of energy required to


produce a given economic product or service, e.g., the
amount of energy used to heat or cool a certain living
space, or transport a person over a certain distance. The
energy/GDP (Gross Domestic Product or national income) is
a common indicator of the energy intensity of an entire
economy.

Energy efficiency: It describes a reduction in the quantity


of energy used per unit service provided, e.g., a reduction
in the quantity of motor gasoline used per kilometer
driven.

Energy Conversion and Efficiency

When we convert energy from one form to another, the useful


output is never as much as the input. The ratio of the useful
output to the required input (usually expressed as a
percentage) is called the efficiency of the process.
It can be as high as 90% in a water turbine or well-run
electric motor, around 35-40% in a coal-fired power station
(if the waste heat is not put to use), and as low as 10-20% in
a typical internal combustion engine.
The difference between the high and low conversion
efficiencies is because the low conversion efficiency involve
the conversion of heat into mechanical or electrical energy.
Heat is the kinetic energy of randomly-moving particles, an
essentially chaotic form of energy. No machine can convert
this chaos completely into the ordered state associated with
mechanical or electrical energy.

Fuel
Any substance burned as a source of heat
or power. The heat is derived from the
combustion process in which carbon and
hydrogen in the fuel substance combine
with oxygen and release heat.
The provision of energy as heat or power in
either mechanical or electrical form is the
major reason for burning fuel.

Primary and secondary energy


commodities

Energy commodities are:


- either extracted or captured directly from natural
resources and are termed primary such as crude oil, hard
coal, natural gas,
- or are produced from primary commodities and are
termed secondary commodities.
Secondary energy comes from the transformation of
primary energy.
- The generation of electricity (secondary) from coal
(primary)
Petroleum products (secondary) from crude oil
(primary)

128

8.9.2014

Primary and secondary energy


commodities
Both electricity and heat may be produced in a primary
or secondary form.
Primary electricity is obtained from natural sources such
as hydro, wind, solar, tide and wave power. Secondary
electricity is produced from the geothermal heat and by
burning primary combustible fuels such as coal, natural
gas, oil and renewables.
Primary heat is the capture of heat from natural
sources (solar panels, geothermal reservoirs) and
represents the arrival of new energy into the supplies
of energy commodities. Secondary heat is derived from
the use of energy commodities already captured or
produced (heat from a combined heat and power plant,
for instance).

Fossil fuels - renewable energy


Fossil fuels are taken from natural
resources which were from from biomass
in the geological past.
Renewable energy is obtained directly or
indirectly from current or recent flows of
constantly available solar and gravitational
energy. For example, the energy value of
biomass is derived from the sunlight used
by plants during their growth.

Measuring quantities and heating values


Mass units for solid fuels (kilograms or tonnes)
Volume units for liquids and gases ( litres or cubic
meters)
Electrical energy is measured in an energy unit,
kilowatt-hour (kWh).
Conversion from volume to mass requires the
densities of the liquids.
Once it is expressed in its energy unit, a fuel
quantity may be converted into another unit. Use
of energy units also permits the summing of the
energy content of different fuels in different
physical states.

130

8.9.2014

Conventional energy
It describes energy sources that have been
widely used in the industrial world for an
extended period of time, such as petroleum,
natural gas, or coal, as opposed to alternative
sources such as wind or solar energy. Large scale
hydropower and nuclear power generation are
usually also considered conventional forms of
energy.
Conventional oil and gas
It is a term for oil and gas obtained by
traditional production methods (e.g., well drilling)
from deep-lying geologic formations, rather than
from unconventional sources such as shale, tar
sands, coalbed methane, biofuels, and so on.

Nonrenewable energy
It describes the energy source formed
and accumulated over a very long period
of time in the past, such as a fossil
fuel, whose rate of formation is many
orders of magnitude slower than the rate
of its use, so that it will be depleted in
a finite time period at the current rate
of consumption.
It is not renewed at a rate comparable
with human use; likely to be effectively
depleted or exhausted at some future
date.
262

131

8.9.2014

Units to express renewables


Solid products like wood are often measured in mass
(tones) and volume (cubic meters) units.
Biogases can be measured on a volume basis (cubic
meters) and on an energy content basis (kilowatthours or therms), and bioliquids in terms of volume
(liters), mass (tones) and/or energy content (joules
or megajoules)
Electricity-only renewable sources and technologies
like hydro, solar-photovoltaic, tide, wave, ocean and
wind can be measured in terms of electricity output
(usually kilo-, mega- or gigawatt-hours).
263

Units to express renewables


Electricity production is expressed in
gigawatt-hours (GWh) and generating
capacity in megawatts (MWe).
Heat production and generation are
expressed in terajoules (TJ).
Energy values for most fuels are reported in
terajoules (TJ) except for charcoal and
liquid biofuels which are reported by mass
(in thousand tones).
264

Units and conversion equivalents


The most common units employed to express
quantities of fuels and energy are those relating to
volume, mass and energy. The actual units employed
vary according to country and local conditions and
reflect historical practice in the country.
The internationally recognized units which cover
almost all of the measurements of fuel and energy
quantities are the cubic meter, tonne (metric ton)
and joule. They are derived from the meter,
kilogram and second included in the Systeme
International dUnits (SI) and serve as an
international basis for science, technology and
commerce. These are the SI units.

PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS ENGINEERS

Looking for An Exciting Future?


Become a Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineer

Petroleum and natural gas engineers work all


around the world, on land and offshore, to find
oil and gas supplies. They keep the energy
flowing to light and heat our homes, fuel our
transportaion systems, and keep our industries
operating.
They spark the creation of thousands of
products, from medicines to plastics to textiles
and cosmetics. Petroleum and natural gas
engineers work in an industry that is both rich in
history and the excitement of discovery and on
the cutting edge of todays technologies.

138

8.9.2014

PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS ENGINEERS


The right education for a career in petroleum and natural gas
engineering requires taking courses on earth science, science
(chemistry, physics and math), basic engineering courses (fluid
mechanics, thermodynamics, statistics, etc), and specialized courses in
petroleum and natural gas engineering (geology, formation evaluation,
drilling, reservoir properties, and production).
Because the oil and gas industry is international in scope, foreign
languages are encouraged. Since it is a high-tech industry, computer
skills are fundamental.
Entry-level salaries for graduates are among the highest of any
engineering field.
Graduates move to field, district, area, staff and chief engineering
positions. They may prefer to advance through such management posts
as supervisor, manager and president. The route you follow depends on
the type of career you want to make for your self. Once you have
acquired some experience, you might decide to become a consultant or
enter the oil and gas business on your own.

PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS ENGINEERS


They are involved in drilling and petroleum and natural gas-producing
operations. Many different specialties are available, each with its own
unique challenges and rewards.
They work thorough studies of geologic and engineering data in order to
predict maximum oil and gas recovery as well as ultimate production and
production rates.
You can be a drilling engineer, working with geologists and contractors in
designing and supervising drilling operations. The job is to implement a
procedure to drill the well as economically as possible. These operations
are conducted to protect the safety of the drilling crew and under the
guidelines of national rules and regulations. It is also important that the
well be drilled so that the formations of interest can be evaluated as to
its commercial value to the oil company.

139

8.9.2014

PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS ENGINEERS


You can work as a production engineer, developing processes and
equipment to optimize oil and gas production. The job is to analyze,
interpret, and optimize the performance of individual wells. The
production engineer is responsible for determining how to bring
hydrocarbons to the surface. The production engineer will determine the
most efficient means to develop the field considering the viscosity of
the oil, the gas-oil ratio, the depth and type of formation. The engineer
is also responsible for the developing a system of surface equipment
that will separate the oil, gas, and water.
You can become a reservoir engineer and help determine ideal recovery
processes, estimate the number of wells that can be economically drilled,
and simulate future performance using sophisticated computer models.
Reservoir engineers determine the fluid and pressure distributions
throughout the reservoir, the natural energy sources available, and the
methods most useful in recovering the maximum amount of oil or gas
from the reservoir. Because of the nature of the work, they must
assume great individual responsibilities. They are often directly involved
in costly operations and must make decisions concerning the expenditure
of great budget.

What is
Petroleum?

Crude Oil

Natural Gas

Crude oil : The word petroleum means rock-oil. The word comes from
the Greek words petras meaning rock and oleum meaning oil. Petroleum is
basically made of lots of hydrogen and carbon molecules. The oil that we
find in the ground is not exactly the same as the oil or gasoline you put in
your car. We call raw oil from the ground crude oil. Crude oil can be
straw-colored, black, dark green, brown, or red. It can be very thick like
honey to very thin
Natural Gas : Petroleum can also be gas. We call petroleum gas Natural
Gas. Natural gas is primarily methane, CH4.

Why do we need petroleum?


Energy/Electricity
You may not know that the electricity that
powers your home may actually be the result
of petroleum too. Power Companies often use
natural gas to generate electricity. We use
this electricity to run our air-conditioners,
heaters, TVs, Computers, hot-water heaters,
stoves, ovens, dishwashers.

Petroleum
(Organic Theory to explain the origin of oil)
It assumes that both the hydrogen and carbon that make up petroleum
which is an organic substance derived from the remains of plants and animals
living on land and in the sea .
Millions of years ago, rains washed prehistoric plant and animal remains into
the seas along with sand and silt, and layer upon layer piled up on the sea
bottom. The layers of organic material were compressed under the weight of
these sediments, and the increasing presure and temperature changed the
mud, sand and silt into rock and the organic matter into petroleum. This rock
is refered to as source rock.

Formation of Petroleum Reservoirs

In the beginning
Earth started out as a
mass of molten rock
Surface cooled and
formed a hard crust
With time the earth
shrank and the crust
buckled and formed hills
and valleys
Water condensed to
form oceans
Convection currents within
the earths mantle caused
the crust to move
Mountains built and
destroyed

145

8.9.2014

Erosion Deposition Cycle

Mountains (rocks) are continuously eroded by


Weather (wind, rain)
Temperature changes
Roots of plants
Eroded material (rock pieces) transported away by water or wind
(Silts and organic material) Deposited in completely different
locations

of quartz (SiO2).

Rock
Compaction

Carbonates are formed from animals


and plants. The principle carbonates
are limestone. Limestone consists
primarily of calcium carbonate (CaCO3)
which is slightly soluble in water.

147

8.9.2014

Petroleum Formation

Organic Theory
Rivers carried both rock sediments and organic materials
Materials covered by sand and silt isolated from oxygen and decay
Over time, pressure, temperature and bacteria converted organic
material to petroleum

Petroleum Reservoirs

Over time stresses in the


earths crust compacted the
sediments and bent, twisted
and broke the beds that
were originally horizontal
Loose sediments were
cemented into rock

Over time petroleum migrated from source rock into


adjacent sands and limestones
Eventually petroleum was lost at the surface or became
trapped in underground structures

148

8.9.2014

Geologic Types of Reservoirs


Reservoir: Underground traps of oil and gas. Reservoirs contain porous rocks
that allow fluids to flow through the pore spaces, that are permeable. They
can take various geological shapes.
Anticline reservoir is formed by
folding of the rock layers or strata.
The trap is filled by upward
migration or movement of oil and
gas coming from the source rock to
the location of the trap. A
nonporous /impermeable cap rock
(such as shale) at the top of the
reservoir or other barriers (faults)
stops the further movement of
the fluids.

Hydrocarbon Reservoirs

Oil and gas reservoirs represent rock


structures where the pore space is filled with
oil and gas.
Virtually all hydrocarbon reservoirs contain
water and are often associated with an
aquifer.

An aquifer is a porous rock structure that contains


water that is in pressure communication with a
hydrocarbon reservoir

Requirements for a
Hydrocarbon Reservoir
A source: material from which hydrocarbon is
formed: carbon and hydrogen, the remains of land
and sea life that was buried in the mud and silt of
ancient seas or bodies of water.
Porous and permeable beds in which hydrocarbons
may migrate and accumulate after being formed.
A trap: subsurface condition restricting further
movement of hydrocarbons such that it may
accumulate in commercial quantities.

150

8.9.2014

Water Influx
If the pressure in the oil (or gas) reservoir is
reduced below the pressure in the aquifer,
water will flow from the aquifer into the oil
reservoir.
If producing wells are drilled and completed
in the oil-bearing zone, the pressure in the oil
reservoir decreases as oil is produced.
Water influx displaces oil to the producing
wells and helps to maintain the reservoir
pressure.
Natural Water Drive

Summary
We may define a reservoir as an
accumulation of hydrocarbon in porous
permeable sedimentary rocks.
A reservoir is a combination of physical
conditions that will cause hydrocarbon
liquids and/or gases and water to
accumulate in porous and permeable
rock and prevent them from escaping
either laterally or vertically.

151

8.9.2014

Summary
A reservoir consists of an impervious
cover or cap rock overlying a porous and
permeable rock.
The density differences between the
oil, gas and water phases can result in
boundary regions between them known
as fluid contacts (oil-water and gas-oil
contacts).

How do we find PETROLEUM and


NATURAL GAS?
The search for oil and gas beneath the earths
surface is a risky undertaking.
Geoscientists use several scientific and technical
procedures to predict whether these conditions
may have combined to create an oil or gas field,
but the results are never guaranteed.
It may take 5 to 10 exploration wells to achieve
one successful producing well.
It may take as many as 50 to 100 exploration
wells to discover a significant new oil field.
The average cost of drilling a new well onshore is
nearly $1 million assuming well depth of 1000 m.

How do we find PETROLEUM and


NATURAL GAS?
Geoscientists (geologists, geophysicists) The Finders
-Study the Earth to search for clues to where oil and natural gas
might be hidden
-Analyze minerals, soil, and rock samples
-Evaluate underground geologic structures to find oil and gas fields
Petroleum engineers The Movers
-Determine best drilling methods to find oil and gas deep in the Earth
-Manage production when oil and gas are drained from underground

154

8.9.2014

The Search for Petroleum

Exploration - Team Effort


Large, high-risk investment to initiate the
search
Geologists, Paleontologists
Study large areas searching for the right
conditions for petroleum formation
Outcrop studies; fossils

Geophysicists

8.9.2014

Geology:

Geology is the study of the composition of the


earths crust, which consists of many layers of sediments deposited
over millions of years. These layers have since been forced into
various shapes or structures by the movement of continental plates,
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and salt flows.
By studying these sedimentary beds in ourcrops or other surface
features, geologists can infer where the underground porous
reservoirs and impermeable traps might lie.

Geophysics:

The science of geophysics is used to understand


the shapes of the sedimentary rock layers by using various methods.
A modern geopysical method is described as seismic. Sound waves
are sent into the ground at one point. These waves are reflected
off the layers of rock and are measured by lines of detectors on
the surface (geophones). The data obtained are fed into computers
for processing to yield a seismic section. Geophysicists interpret
these results to gain an understanding of the shapes and sizes of
the rock layers, or stratigraphy.

Must estimate the volume of hydrocarbon present


and whether it can be economically produced.

Getting to it (Drilling)
After we have an idea of where
petroleum is located we have to get to it.
Many times petroleum is very deep within
the ground. To get to petroleum we drill
a hole anywhere from 13 to 4 in
diameter into the ground. (Drilling Rig)

Drilling Operation Components


Wellbore/borehole: A hole drilled to aid in the exploration and recovery
of oil, gas or water.
Casing: Various diameter steel pipe that is lowered into the wellbore
and cemented in place. Its functions are to structurally stabilize the
wellbore, prevent the cross-flow of formation fluids and drilling mud as
well as securing of the well head (blowout preventer connects there).
Casing diameter decreases as the depth of the hole increases (due to
higher pressure conditions, well design and extraction needs).
Drilling mud: A heavy, viscous fluid mixture of clays, chemicals and
water which is pumped down through the drill pipe to lubricate and cool
the drilling bit, to flush out the cuttings, to strengthen the sides of the
borehole, and (by its weight) keep a pressure balance against the
formation pressure.
Blowout preventer: It is used to shut off the well in case the formation
pressure overcomes the drilling mud pressure and the well is in danger
to explode.
Drill string/pipe: A pipe made of lenghts of steel tubing, attached to
the drilling tool and rotates during drilling to form a hole. The drilling
mud flows through this pipe.

164

8.9.2014

Glossary/Terms
Bottom hole pressure: This is the pressure at the bottom of the
wellbore at or near the depth of the oil producing formation rock and
it is usually measured in pounds per square inch (psi). This pressure is
imposed on the walls of the wellbore. It is the sum of all pressures
imposed, including hydrostatic column pressure, annular pressure (due
to drilling mud going up the annular space carrying rock cuttings), and
pressure imposed by the rotating drill bit.
Formation pressure: It is the pressure of the formation fluid within
the pore spaces (the pores are the spaces between the grains of the
rock) of the formation rock.
Fracture gradient or formation fracture pressure: Pressure above
which injection of fluids (drilling mud) will cause the rock formation to
fracture hydraulically.
Porosity: It is ratio of the formation rocks pore volume to its total
volume.
Permeability: It is the property of rocks that is an indication of the
ability for gases or fluids to flow through rocks.

Well Drilling Operation and Drilling Mud Circulation

Drilling fluid, also called drilling mud, is used: (1) to lubricate the bit so it
doesnt get stuck and (2) to flush the rock pieces (cuttings) to the surface.
These cuttings are examined by a mud logger, who looks for signs of oil and gas.

Wellbore description for circulation

Lost Circulation
If the bottom hole pressure
of the mud column in the
wellbore exceeds the
formation pressure of the
rock, the drilling mud will
infiltrate the formation.
Well Kick
If the bottom hole pressure
falls below the formation
pressure a gas/oil kick from
the formation into the
wellbore occurs. If the kick is
not controlled, it can lead to
a blow-out, which represents
one of the most severe
threats associated with oil
and gas exploration.

168

8.9.2014

Surging and Swabbing

Surging is caused by the drill string being lowered into the hole at a fast rate
pushing drilling mud ahead of it which will surge against the formation rock at a
bottom hole and may cause the drilling mud to infiltrate the formation.
Swabbing is caused by removing the drill string from the wellbore which causes
formation fluid to infiltrate into the volume previously displaced by the drill string.

A sample of the fluid from the


formation is collected

Fluid from the formation is allowed


to flow freely into well

A drill stem test (DST) is performed in order to determine bottom hole


pressure, permeability and productive capacity of the oil well. The
formation to be tested is isolated from the rest of the well using packers
and then the fluid in the formation is allowed to flow up the drill string in
order for a sample to be collected.

169

8.9.2014

Well Logging Unit (Truck)

Once a well has been drilled, a logging tool is lowered down the well on
electrical wire. Logging tools are special sensors that measure properties of
the rock surrounding the borehole, with results recorded.

Well Logging

Many different kinds of well logs have been developed. The Gamma Ray tool
shows rock layer boundaries and shale content. The Neutron Log is a porosity
measurement tool. Since salty water conducts electricity while oil and gas do
not, electrical resistivity logs can be used to detect the presence of oil and gas
in the pore spaces.

Core Sampling

By studying the rocks (either outcrops or core samples from


the wells), and by interpreting the seismic data and well log
data, scientists and engineers can reasonably predict how big
the reservoir is and how much oil it contains, and how easy or
difficult it will be to produce the oil.

Well Treatment
Wells often may be treated to improve the natural
drainage pattern, or to remove barriers within the
production fluid (oil, gas or geothermal water)-bearing
formation which prevent easy passage of fluids into the
well bore.
Opening up new channels in the rock for the oil and gas
to flow through is called stimulation. Two stimulation
treatments are commonly used: (1) hydraulic fracturing
to split the rock and prop it open with proppants, (2)
injection of acid to partially dissolve the rock, (3) or use
of other special chemicals such as injecting chemicals to
break emulsions (mixture of oil and water forming a very
thick mass which impairs flow of fluids to the well bore).

Producing it/Getting to it
After we reach the petroleum we have to get it to
the surface of the earth. Sometimes when oil, gas,
and water underground are under a lot of pressure at
first, it naturally flows to the surface. If not, we
have to pump it or find other ways to make it flow to
the surface.
Sometimes gas is injected at the bottom of the well,
and as it expands, it lifts the oil up to the surface.
This is called gas lift.

Flowing Oil Production / Facilities

176

8.9.2014

Types of Production Process

(API, 1979)

The energy in the gas or salt water (brine) occuring under high pressures with the oil
that creates the force to drive or displace the oil through and from the pores of the
reservoir into the wells.
Oil has dissolved gas that
emerges and expands as the
reservoir pressure is reduced.
Gas drives oil through the
reservoir toward the wells and
assists in lifting it to the surface.

Dissolved-gas drive

Some reservoirs have free gas in


the form of a cap of gas over the
oil. As production of oil and gas
proceeds and the reservoir
pressure is lowered, the gas cap
expands and drives/displaces oil.

Gas-cap drive

Water existing in the surrounding


parts of the oil reservoir occur
under pressure and provide an
energy to aid in producing oil and
gas. As the pressure is lowered,
water expands and drives the oil
and gas.

Analogy with Petroleum


Reservoir crude oil is a mixture of
hydrocarbons that are formed when organic
matter is subjected to great heat and
pressure over long periods of time.
The mixture behavior is similar to that of gas
dissolved in liquid under pressure.
Petroleum recovery (and flow through the
reservoir and pipelines) is critically dependent
on fluid properties.

The Production Well

(API, 1979)

A production well is simply a pipe


line reaching from the top of the
ground to the oil- or gas-producing
formation. The well contains a
series of steel pipes called casing
and tubing.
Various
rock
formations
(sand,
clay,
sandstone,
shale,
limestone,
etc.)

Casing: It keeps the well stable and


protects the hole from the
underground water zones abd from
loose earth falling from the
surrounding formations. Usually two
or more strings of casing are
cemented in the hole.
Tubing: It is a string of pipe placed
in the well through which the oil (or
gas) is produced. It is called the
production pipe.
Packer: A mechanical device used
for isolation purposes.

Completion Methods of Preparing A Production Well

SANDSTONE

Open-Hole Completion:
When the oil-producing
zone is not loose, the
hole is left open; barefoot completion.

(API, 1979)

Completion With a Liner:


In loose, soft formations,
a slotted liner ( a section
of casing in which vertical
slots have been
cut/perforated) is
set.The liner acts a filter
and keeps the sand out of
the well.

Multiple Type Well

The Main Pieces of Production Equipment


(API, 1979)

Fluids that could be a mixture of oil


and gas from the reservoir (oil sand)
flows into the bore hole of the oil
well. Surface equipments (separators,
treaters, etc.) are used to separate
the fluids. Measuring devices are
used to determine the quantities of
each individual phases produced. Oil
goes through the pipelines into a
storage tank and gas flows from the
separator into the gas pipeline
through the gas outlet.

184

8.9.2014

Separators
Well fluids produced at the well
head may be a mixture of oil, gas,
and water. Thus they must be
separated into oil, gas, and water.
The equipment used to separate
the liquids from the gases is
referred to as a separator. An oil
and gas separator is a small tank in
which the force of gravity is used
to separate the oil and gas. Oil,
being heavy compared to the gas,
falls to the bottom of the tank
from which it goes into storage
tanks. Gas, being lighter, rises to
the top of the tank and goes from
there into a gas-gathering system.

Two forces acting to separate the


oil from the gas: (1) the effect og
gravity, (2) the whirling action.

A vertical oil and gas separator

Separators

(API, 1979)

(API, 1979)

In a horizontal separator, the oil and gas mixture enters at inlet A. The mixture hits
a baffle (B) where the heavier liquids fall to the bottom of the tank while the gas
and spray rise. The the wet gas passes through a chamber (C) and a mist extractor
(E) where liquid particles are removed from the gas.

The liquid moves along the bottom of the tank to the oil outlet (H) and the gas goes
through the top portion of the tank and into the gas outlet (F).

Reservoir Engineering Activity


Reservoir engineer play an important role to
identify the oil and gas reservoir potential,
such as how much oil we can produce from
the field, what the reservoir and fluid
properties such as porosity, permeability,
production pay thickness, fluid flow
direction, etc. By using some numerical
techniques they produce reservoir models
and by the help of these modfels they
predict the future performance of the field.

186

Well Testing
There are a large number of types of well tests, and each is conducted to obtain
certain information about the well, the reservoir, and the fluids produced. A list of
common well-tests:
Fluid Measurements
Oil flow rate: BBL/day, (m3/day or tonne/day)
Gas flow rate: MSCF/day or MMSCF/day (sm3/day)
Water flow rate: BBL/day, (m3/day or tonne/day)
Oil gravity, gas gravity, water salinity

M=103, MM=106

Pressure Measurements (psia or bar)


Flowing wellhead pressure, static (shut-in) wellhead pressure
Flowing bottom-hole pressure, static (shut-in) bottom-hole pressure
Temperature Measurements (oF or oC)
Wellhead temperature, bottom-hole temperature, stock-tank oil temperature
Well and Reservoir Performance Tests
Potential test
Bottom-hole pressure test
Productivity test
Fluid-level determination
Bottom-hole temperature determination

Well Testing
Potential Test
It is a measurement of the largest amount of oil and gas a well will produce in
a daily period under fixed conditions. This test is normally made on each
newly completed well and often during its production life. Producing
allowables (proper production rates) are determined according to the results
of the tests, and the results are used to design the proper size of the
surface production equipments.

Bottom-Hole Pressure Test


It is a measure of the reservoir pressure of the well taken at a specific
depth, or at midpoint of the producing interval. Types of this tests:
Flowing bottom-hole pressure test: It is a measurement taken while the well
continues to flow.
Shut-in bottom-hole pressure test: It is a measurement taken after the well
has been shut in for a specified length of time. These tests give information
about the reservoir pressure and fluid levels in the shut-in well.
A series of bottom-hole presure tests conducted at scheduled intervals
through the production life of the reservoir provide valuable information
about the decline or depletion of the reservoir the well has been producing.

187

8.9.2014

Productivity Tests

Well Testing

Productivity tests are conducted on oil, gas, and geothermal wells, and
include both the potential test and the bottom-hole pressure test. The
purpose of this test is to determine the effects of different flow rates
on the pressure within the reservoir. The maximum potential rate of flow
can be calculated without risking possible damage to the well which might
occur if the well rate produced at its maximum possible flow rate.
+

How to Conduct The Test


First measure the shut-in bottom-hole
pressure (reservoir pressure) of the
well, then open the well and produce it at
several stabilized rates of flow. At each
rate of flow, the flowing bottom-hole
pressure is measured. These data
provide an estimate of the maximum flow
to be expected from the well.

Water Injection

Gas Injection

Water is injected into reservoirs for two reasons: (1) to increase the oil
recovery, (2) to dispose of salt water that is produced with oil. Gas is
injected into an oil reservoir to increase recovery of oil. Both water and gas
displace oil and force it to flow toward the production wells.

Types of EOR

Flooding
- Thermal Flooding
The miscible flooding
method involves the
injection of a slug of
solvent (such as propane,
butane, surfactants, or
CO2 at high pressure),
capable of being mixed
with the reservoir oil. This
is followed by the injection
of a displacing fluid which
mixes with the solvent.

Enhanced (Improved) Oil Recovery (EOR, IOR)


(Tertiary Oil Recovery)
Thermal flooding techniques include
methods for supplementing heat
(energy) to increase ultimate
recovery from a reservoir.
Thermal processes are: (1) steam
injection, (2) in-situ combustion.

Steam Injection: Heat as steam is


directly injected into the oil
reservoir.
In-Situ Combustion: Heat is
generated by burning some of the oil
in a reservoir.
Heat injected or generated lowers
the viscosity and density of the oil
so that oil in the reservoir flows
easier towards into the production
wells.

Porosity is
defined as the
ratio of the
pore volume
(the void space)
in a rock to the
bulk volume of
that rock.
The greater the
porosity, the
more fluid the
reservoir can
hold.

Porosity

Porosity is a measure of formation storage capacity. That is, if 100 ft3 of


this sandstone formation contains 25 ft3 of liquid, then the porosity of the
formation is 0.25 or 25%.
Typical porosities range from 0.05 for tight rocks to 0.30 for some
sandstone.

Saturation of A Fluid in Porous Media =
Volume of the Fluid in Pores/Pore Volume

If only oil and water exist in pores:
So+Sw=1.0
SH=Hydrocarbon saturation=So+Sg

Fluid Stored and Production Relationship


From the production point of view, it doesnt matter
how much oil and gas are in the reservoir unless they
can be produced and recovered.
To be recovered, the reservoir fluids must be able to
move (or flow) to a production well. The amount of
production possible would depend not only on the
porosity of the reservoir, but also on the ability of
the fluid to move from pore to pore and finally to
the production well.
The pores in the reservoir rock should be well
connected. So, we can expect that it would be easy
to produce fluid from the formation.

How do we get it to you?


Getting it to those who need it
After the petroleum reaches the surface we have to
find a way to get it to you. We use trucks,
tankers(ships), and pipelines to send the petroleum to
a refinery or gas plant. Refineries change the
petroleum into fuels and products. Gas plants process
natural gas and send the gas to your home through a
pipeline and/or to Power Plants that generate
electricity.

SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES

Petroleum

(Crude Oil)

201

8.9.2014

Petroleum (crude oil)


Petroleum is a complex mixture of liquid
hydrocarbons, chemical compounds containing
hydrogen and carbon, occuring naturally in
underground reservoirs in sedimentary rock.
Petroleum products such as motor gasoline,
lubricants and fuel oil are manufactured through
refining processes from crude oil.
Petroleum can also be used to obtain LNG and
NGL.

403

Petroleum (crude oil)


There are many varieties of crude oil, because it
contains a wide range of hydrocarbons, depending
on the location where it is found. The oil is
usually given the name of the region or place
where it comes from (North Sea oil, Texas
intermediate, Arabian light, Brent oil, ).
The hydrocarbons in crude oil vary from the
lightest to the heaviest, and these
characteristics of the individual crude oils may
determine the price. An example of a heavy crude
oil is the Mexican Maya oil, whereas the Nigerian
Bonny Light is considered as light.
404

202

8.9.2014

Heavy oil sample

High-viscosity heavy oil


acquired by wireline
sampling.

Petroleum (crude oil)

To evaluate a crude oil, several properties are analysed:


* relative density (provides for an indication of light
versus heavy fractions in the crude)
* viscosity (oils resistance to flowing)
* pour point (the lowest temperature at which a liquid
remains pourable)
* water content
* sulphur content
* paraffin and asphaltene content (wax)
* presence of contaminants and heavy metals.
The pricing of the oil depends largely on the above
properties, as they will influence the processing and product
output.
406

203

8.9.2014

Units used to express petroleum


Liquid fuels can be measured by their mass or
volume.
The most widely used unit of mass to measure oil is
the metric ton.
The original unit for most liquid and gaseous fuels is
volume. Liquids can be measured by the liter, the
barrel, or the cubic meter. A common example of
the use of volume as the unit of measurement is in
the price of oil, quoted in dollars per barrel.
As liquid fuels can be measured by their mass or
their volume, it is essential to be able to convert
one into the other. In order to make this
conversion, the specific gravity or density of the
407
liquid is needed.

Units used to express petroleum


Density is defined as mass per unit volume, i.e.
ton/barrel. The density of water is 1 g/cm3.
The specific gravity is the relative mass per unit
volume (or density) of a given substance compared to
that of water. Motor gasoline, for example, has a
lower density as it is much lighter for the same
volume. The specific gravity of motor gasoline is
therefore smaller than 1.
Since volume changes with changes in temperature,
data on specific gravity are reported with a reference
to a specific temperature. For petroleum, the
reference is usually 15 degrees Celcius.
408

204

8.9.2014

Units used to express petroleum

The term API gravity (a standard adopted by the American


Petroleum Institute) used to express the specific gravity of
petroleum.
API gravity is defined as:
API gravity = ( 141.5/specific gravity at 60oF) 131.5
The result is an arbitrary scale for measuring gravity,
expressed in degrees API, where the lighter a compound is,
the higher its degree of API gravity.
Crude oils having higher than 38 degrees API are considered
light crude oils whereas those with less than 22 degrees API
are labelled as heavy crude oil.

409

Units used to express petroleum


Because crude oil contains a wide range of
hydrocarbons from the lightest to the heaviest,
the characteristics, including the density, of
individual crude oils vary greatly. Similarly, the
density of the different petroleum products varies
substantially between the products.
The density can be used to classify petroleum
products from light to heavy, where for example
LPG is considered light at 520 kg/m3 while fuel oil
is a heavy product over 900 kg/m3.

410

205

8.9.2014

Units used to express petroleum


Note:
Many countries and organisations use
the ton of oil equivalent (toe) when
publishing energy balances. The toe
unit which is based on calorific
properties is used to compare oil with
other energy forms and should not be
confused with the mass measurement
in tones.
0.9 toe = 1000 m3 of natural gas

Some oil products - LPG

LPG are derived from the refinery processing and natural


gas processing plants. They consist mainly of propane
(C3H8) and butane (C4H10) or a combination of two.
LPG are normally liquefied under pressure for
transportation and storage.
Liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) are used for both energy
and non-energy purposes.
As a fuel for energy, they are often used in domestic or
residential heating and cooking, for agricultural purposes
and increasingly in the road transport sector for use in
internal combustion engines.
In terms of non-energy use, they serve as feedstock for
petrochemical processes, such as steam cracking.

Some oil products Motor gasoline


Motor gasoline is primarily used to fuel cars and
light trucks. Demand for motor gasoline has
increased very rapidly over the last few decades, in
line with the demand for cars.
However, environmental concerns have necessitated
improvements to be made to the composition of the
gasoline. For example, lead which was used to boost
the octane number of the gasoline has been largely
eliminated in many countries.
Moreover, to further reduce pollution, biofuels (e.g.
methanol produced from biomass or ethanol produced
from agricultural crops) are being developed to
either be blended with or replace motor gasoline.

207

8.9.2014

Some oil products Gas/diesel oil


Gas/diesel oil includes transport diesel, heating oil
and other gasoil. Transport diesel oil is used to
power diesel engines in buses, trucks, trains, cars
and other industrial machinary.
Heating oil is used to heat domestic/residential and
commercial building, as well as industrial boilers.
Gasoil is also used for power generation, although to
a much smaller extent than fuel oil. The main
difference between diesel and heating oil is the
sulphur content of the fuel for environmental
purposes, the specification of the sulphur content
for transport diesel is much lower than that of
heating oil.

Some oil products Fuel oil


Fuel oil is used by power generation utilities to
produce electricity and heat, by industrial
users for process heat and by the commercial
sector to provide heating fuel for their
buildings.
Demand for fuel oil for power generation has
dropped quite rapidly over the last thirty
years, as environmental concerns and the
necessity to move away from oil became
important.
Fuel oil is also the most important fuel for
international marine bunkers, to fuel the ships.

Non-energy petroleum products


Petroleum products can also be used for non-fuel
purposes. Some examples are:
* LPG, motor gasoline for the petrochemical
industry
* White spirit used as a solvent for paints and
varnishes
* Lubricants for engines and machinary
* Bitumen for the construction of roads
* Paraffin waxes for candles, polishes, matches
* Petroleum coke for electrode manufacturing, for
carbon, graphite and chemical production.

Natural Gas

Natural gas

Natural gas is a mixture of naturally occuring compounds


that are in a gaseous state at the conditions of
temperature and pressure at the earths surface.
These compounds are mostly simple molecules formed of
hydrogen and carbon (thus hydrocarbon). Methane, with
molecules formed from four atoms of hydrogen and one of
carbon, is the simplest form and generally is the most
common compound in the mixture.
Ethane, propane, butane, and pentane are slightly more
complex compounds with two, three, four, and five carbon
atoms respectively in each molecule. Other more complex
hydrocarbon compounds can also be part of the mixture.
Non-hydrocarbon compounds such as carbon dioxide,
nitrogen, and hydrogen sulfide are also present in natural
gas but in lesser amounts.

Natural gas
It comprises several gases, but consists mainly of
methane (CH4), or the simplest hydrocarbon chain.
It is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and is lighter
than air.
It is gaseous at any temperature over -107.2oC and
its specific gravity of 0.6 is lower than air.
The quality and composition of natural gas varies
greatly depending on the reservoir, field or
formation from which is produced.
When natural gas is produced, it contains a number
of other components such as CO2, helium, hydrogen
sulphide, nitrogen, water vapor and other
contaminants which may be corrosive or toxic.

Natural gas

Before natural gas can be used commercially, it needs to


undergo a process in order to remove undesirable components.
However, this removal process may not eliminate all
impurities, as the quantities of these included in the gas are
sometimes too small.
The value of natural gas is determined by the energy content,
which depends largely on the purity of the gas. An example of
a natural gas with a high calorific value is the gas from
Algerias largest gas field Hassi-RMel (around 42 000
kJ/m3=42 MJ/m3), whereas the gas from the Groningen field
in the Netherlands is of lower calorific value (around 35 000
kJ/m3).
It is considered a clean fuel, because pure methane is highly
flammable, it burns easily and almost completely, and it emits
very little air pollutants. Moreover it is sulphur-free; there is
therefore no sulphur dioxide (SO2) produced. With respect to
nitrogen oxides (NOx) and CO2 emissions, they are lower than
with other fossil fuels.
422

211

8.9.2014

Natural gas
Natural gas produced from an oil reservoir with oil is
called associated gas, whereas production from a gas
reservoir not associated with oil is non-associated
gas.
When a gas contains an appreciable quantity of
butane and heavier hydrocarbons (natural gas liquidsNGL), it is said to be a wet gas.
Dry gas consists mainly of methane with relatively
small amounts of ethane, propane, etc.
To facilitate transportation over long distances,
natural gas may be converted to liquid form by
reducing its temperature to -160oC under atmospheric
pressure. When gas is liquefied, it is called liquefied
natural gas (LNG).

Natural gas liquids (NGL)


Natural gas liquids are liquids or liquefied
hydrocarbons recovered from natural gas in
separation facilities or gas processing plants.
The NGL include ethane, propane, butane
(normal and iso-), (iso)pentane and pentanes
plus.
The natural gas may be produced with crude
oil (associated gas) or from a gas field
without crude oil. The NGL may be removed
from the natural gas stream close to the
well-head or transported to a distant gas
425
processing plant.

Natural gas liquids (NGL)

Natural gas liquids are liquid hydrocarbon mixtures, which are


gaseous at reservoir temperatures and pressures, but are
recoverable by condensation and absorbtion.
NGL can be classified according to their vapor pressure; this is
the pressure exerted by a vapor escaping from a liquid it
quantifies the tendency of molecules to enter the gaseous
phase.
A natural gas liquid
* with a low vapor pressure is a condensate;
* with an intermediate pressure, it is a natural gasoline,
and
* with a high vapor pressure it is a liquid petroleum gas.

426

213

8.9.2014

Natural gas liquids (NGL)


Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is gaseous at
ambient temperature and pressure and
comprises propane and butane.
Natural gasoline includes pentanes plus and
heavier hydocarbons. It is liquid at ambient
temperature and pressure.
NGL include propane, butane, pentane,
hexane and heptane, but not methane and
ethane, since these hydrocarbons need
refrigeration to be liquefied.
427

Units used to express natural gas


Natural gas can be measured either in energy content
unit or volume unit.
Energy is measured using joules, calories, British
thermal units (Btu), or therms
Volume is measured using the cubic meter or the cubic
foot.
When using volume measurements, it is important to
know at which temperature and under which pressure
the gas has been measured.
- Normal conditions: measured at T of 0 oC and p of
760 mm mercury (Hg).
- Standard conditions: measured at T of 15 oC and p of
760 mm Hg.
428

Conversion from volume to energy


(natural gas)
The most common method of metering and
accounting for gas is by volume (e.g. Mm3 =
million cubic meters). However, natural gas
prices are often determined on the basis of
the calorific content per volume basis, as gas
is purchased for its heating value.
The calorific value of natural gas is the
amount of heat released by the complete
combustion of a unit quantity of fuel under
specified conditions, e.g. Kcal/m3 or MJ/m3
(megajoule per cubic meter).
429

Conversion from volume to energy


(natural gas)
The calorific value of natural gas
may be quoted either gross or net.
The difference between gross and
net calorific value is the latent heat
of vaporization of the water vapor
produced during combustion of the
fuel.
For natural gas, the net calorific
value is on average 10% less than
the gross value.

Gas storage facilities


Natural gas demand is very seasonal in most
countries; in the winter, demand for gas often
places strains on the transmission and distribution
systems. To limit the need for long-distance gas
transport, many countries have started to build
gas storage facilities. Additionally, strategic
reserves of gas improve the security of gas
supplies.
Storage of natural gas play an essential part in
satisfying demand when demand or supply changes
rapidly. The demand for gas increases dramatically
during cold weather and it becomes very economic
to meet some of the demand
from storage sites.
434

217

8.9.2014

Gas storage facilities


Gas storage facilities fall into two basic
categories, which define their characteristics:
seasonal or peak.
Seasonal storage sites, which may also serve a
strategic purpose, must be able to store huge
volumes of gas build up during low demand times
for slow release during periods of high demand.
Peak facilities store smaller quantities but must
be able to inject gas quickly into the
transmission network to meet surges in demand.
435

Gas storage facilities

The storage facilities can be classified according to


physical type:
- Depleted gas fields
- Depleted oil fields
- Aquifers
- Salt caverns
- Mined caverns
- LNG peak-shaving units
Gas storage is to be distinguished from gas reserves. The
gas storage refers to gas already produced, but used for
strategic, seasonal or peak-shaving purposes. The term gas
reserves refers to estimated quantities of gas not yet
produced but assumed to be recoverable in future years.

Underground storage of natural gas is a growing industry that helps gas


suppliers meet fluctuating demand. Techniques for designing, constructing and
monitoring gas-storage facilities range from the latest in salt-mining ingenuity
to both established and cutting-edge oilfield technologies.

abandoned mines (center) and porous rock (right).

Underground Gas-Storage Facilities


Now there are more than 600 underground gas-storage
facilities in operation worldwide. About two-thirds of
these are in the USA, and the majority of the rest are
in Europe.
Most storage is in porous rock systems-either depleted
oil and gas reservoirs that have been converted to gas
storage, or aquifers-but some cavern-style facilities
exist.
In Europe, salt-cavern facilities have proliferated
thanks to an abundance of naturally occurring salt
deposits and a history of salt mining.
Salt caverns are also used for storage in the USA,
especially near the Gulf of Mexico.
Storage facilities in abandoned mines or rock caverns
are less common.

Porous-Rock Gas Storage


Most gas-storage facilities are in the porous
rock of depleted gas reservoirs that have been in
operation for decades. Depleted fields are less
expensive to develop than other types of
installations, because existing production wells
and gathering lines can be converted for storage
use. In many cases, depleted fields contain the
base (cushion) gas needed to operate a storage
facility. In general, porous-rock facilities are
appropriate for seasonal and strategic-reserve
storage. Limited production capacities and
deliverability constrain their use for supplying
energy during peak-load electricity generation.

Salt caverns
Caverns in salt deposits may exist naturally or be
formed by injecting water and removing the brine.
They are generally smaller than the reservoirs
provided by depleted oil and gas fields or aquifers
but offer very good withdrawal rates and are well
suited for peak-shaving requirements.
The amount of gas in a cavern is divided into two
parts; the recoverable (or working) gas and the
cushion gas.
The cushion (or base) gas is the volume which must
be present to maintain pressure and operability. It
cannot be withdrawn during the operating life of the
443
cavern.

Natural gas consumption


The consumption of natural gas occurs in
several sectors:
- In the power generation sector
- In the various sectors and branches of
final consumption (industry, transport,
residential, services, ...)

446

223

8.9.2014

Natural gas consumption in the power


generation sector
The natural gas is experiencing significant growth as a
fuel for power generation. Enhancement of gas turbine
technology has sunstantially improved the position of gas
in power generation, both for combined-cycle gas turbine
(CCGT) generators and combined heat and power (CHP)
plants.
Gas offers many advantages in this sector compared with
other fossil fuels: high efficiency, relatively low capital
costs, and clean.
In recent years, natural gas consumed for electricity
generation has accounted for almost 20% of global
electricity production (up from 13% in 1973), and
accounts for approximately half of the world production
of heat generated in CHP and heat plants.

Combined heat and power (CHP)


Combined heat and power (also known as
co-generation) units provide simultaneous
supplies of electricity and heat from one or
sometimes several items of generating
equipment.
When heat production from a CHP unit
ceases and it produces only electricity, it
becomes an electricity-only unit.

450

225

8.9.2014

Natural gas consumption in the various sectors


(transport, industry, residential and others)
In the transport sector, natural gas is used in a
compressed form (compressed natural gas or CNG) or in
liquefied form (LNG).
It can be used as feedstock in the chemical and
petrochemical industry. Methane in natural gas is an
important source of carbon and hydrogen for several
industrial processes in the chemical industry. The most
widely known use is for the manufacture of ammonia,
which is used for agricultural fertiliser production.
Methane is used as a fuel for petrochemical processes
such as steam cracking, ammonia production and
methanol production.
Natural gas is consumed for heating and as well as
cooking purposes in the residential
sector.
451

Compressed natural gas (CNG)


Compressed natural gas (CNG) is used increasingly
as a clean fuel for road transport vehicles.
Natural gas is compressed to a high pressure
(typically 220 atmospheres) and stored in specially
designed containers for use in the vehicles. It
then occupies about 1/180th of the volume it
occupies at atmospheric pressure.
The costs of installation and inspection of CNG
containers in smaller road vehicles is rarely
economic when compared with conventional fuels.
However, CNG use is often economic in public
transport vehicles.
452

226

8.9.2014

Liquefied natural gas (LNG)


LNG is a natural gas which has been cooled to a
temperature (about -160oC or -260oF) at which
it becomes a liquid at atmospheric pressure. It
then occupies about 1/600th of the volume it
occupies at normal temperatures.
Liquefying natural gas reduces the costs of gas
transport over long distances and, following
recent reductions in costs in the liquefication,
storage and later regasification of LNG,
liquefaction has made increasingly economic the
exploitation of gas sorces remote from centers
of demand.
453

LNG chain and transport

The supply chain for LNG comprises four main stages:


* production of natural gas
* liquefaction and storage
* transport
* storage and regasification
The methods for storage of LNG at the liquefaction site and
the receiving terminals in destination countries comprise a
tank within a tank design. Two tank are separated by
thermal insulating materials.
Transport of LNG by ship is by means of vessels carrying
insulated tanks.
LNG is discharged from the ship into storage tanks at its
destination. The liquid is regasified by passing through pipes
which are heated. The gas is injected into the natural gas
transmission system for final use.
