Russia and Slovenia in South Stream Pact
Russia and Slovenia have signed a pact on the South Stream pipeline, which will transport Russian gas to Europe.

Russia's Energy Minister Sergei Shmatko and Slovenian Economy Minister Matej Lahovnik on Saturday signed the deal ensuring Slovenia's participation in the project, Reuters reported.

The deal was signed in the presence of Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin and his Slovenian counterpart Borut Pahor.

Slovenia's approval brings the South Stream pipeline a step closer to being built, though its backers - Russian gas behemoth Gazprom and Italy's Eni - still have to raise billions of dollars to finance the project.

"We have now signed deals with all the European partners needed for this project to be completed," Putin told reporters at his Novo-Ogaryovo residency outside Moscow after signing the cooperation deal with Slovenian counterpart Borut Pahor.

Slovenia is the fifth country to sign such an agreement with Russia on the South Sea pipeline, which will skirt Ukraine and cross Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, Greece, Slovenia to Italy.

With a capacity of 63 billion cubic metres a year, the pipeline is expected to cost between 19 billion and 24 billion euros ($28 billion to $36 billion). It is due to become operational in 2015.

South Stream as mooted by Russia is racing against the European Union-backed Nabucco pipeline. The EU project seeks to curb dependency on Russia by pumping gas from the Caspian and the Middle East.


OSIsoft: Launches Official Presence in Russia
A ceremony at the Grand Marriott Moscow on Tuesday, September 29 marked the formal launch of an OSIsoft presence in Moscow and throughout Russia. OSIsoft has acquired a customer list comprising more than 60 Russian companies in many industries. These companies have successfully implemented more than 100 PI Systems.

"This well established user base is our main motivation to announce this evening that we will be opening an OSIsoft sales and support office in Moscow in 2010," Bernard Morneau, president of OSIsoft, told the gathered crowd of customers and partner companies, analysts, government officials and partners.

"We recognize we have a need to invest, learn and adapt to the Russian market in order to continue expanding these business relationships. We foresee a long and mutually beneficial presence in the Russian market."

Vladimir Raag, the local Business Manager in Russia, has responsibility for a formal office opening in 2010 while continuing to develop relationships with new and existing customers and partners.

US pushes for more Turkmen stakes
The US urged Turkmenistan to allow its companies to invest in onshore Turkmen gas deposits including South Iolotan, a giant field seen as a key future source of Caspian energy.

In the Turkmen capital Ashgabat to attend an annual energy conference, US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State George Krol told Reuters US companies were keen to develop Turkmen gas but were allowed only to invest in riskier offshore projects.

"American companies have advanced technology," Krol said in an interview.

"US companies would like to invest not only offshore but also in onshore projects including in South Iolotan." Central Asia, particularly Caspian deposits in Turkmenistan, has been at the centre of geopolitical rivalry involving the US, China and Russia since the region gained independence after decades of Soviet rule in the early 1990s.

CNPC, pushing aggressively into thinly populated Central Asia to feed its energy needs, won a licence to develop the onshore Bagtyyarlyk deposit two years ago.

South Iolotan, another lucrative onshore project, contains between 4 trillion cubic metres of gas and 14 Tcm, according to Britain's Gaffney, Cline and Associates, making it one of the world's five largest deposits.

It is seen as one of the new potential gas suppliers for the EU-backed Nabucco pipeline designed to ease Europe's dependence on Russian gas by connecting Caspian gas with Western markets.

Western companies, eyeing new energy sources in remote places in Turkmenistan as easier deposits become depleted, have urged Turkmenistan's new leadership to allow them to bid for projects like South Iolotan.

A number of smaller foreign companies are currently investing in costlier offshore Turkmen projects. Russia, which has so far controlled Turkmen gas exports through gas monopoly Gazprom, stopped imports altogether this year following an April pipeline explosion which has escalated into a diplomatic stand off over new supply terms.

That has forced Turkmenistan, its budget suffering due to the row, to seek closer ties with alternative buyers like Iran, China and the West.

Global oil and gas executives have flocked to Turkmenistan this week to attend the conference, an annual event used by foreign players to test the waters as they seek to convince Turkmenistan to open up to more investment.

Chevron in South Iolotan Talks
US oil supermajor Chevron is in talks with Turkmenistan over its possible participation in developing the giant South Iolotan gas field. Washington has urged the Caspian nation to allow US companies to invest in its lucrative onshore projects but Turkmenistan has so far admitted only China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC).

Turkmenistan, an isolated country north of Iran, is at the heart of a geopolitical struggle between the US, Russia and China for access to its resources, notably its abundant gas.

South Iolotan contains between 4 trillion and 14 trillion cubic metres of gas, according to Britain's Gaffney, Cline & Associates, making it one of the world's five largest deposits.

Douglas Uchikura, head of Chevron Nebitgaz Turkmenistan, told Reuters on the sidelines of an annual energy conference that he was in talks with Turkmen officials on the project. "Yes, we are interested," he said. "We are making proposals and we are in discussions".

South Iolotan, another key onshore project, is seen as a potential gas supplier for the EU-backed Nabucco pipeline, designed to ease Europe's dependence on Russian gas by connecting Caspian gas with Western markets.

Putin warns Gas Flarers they'll get burnt
Russian oil companies will face "huge fines" should they fail to meet gas flaring targets requiring them to boost associated gas utilisation to 95% by 2012, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said.

"Oil companies that do not meet this requirement will pay huge fines," Reuters quoted him as telling an industry meeting.

Eni ties up Kazakhstan deal
Italian oil and gas group Eni has signed a cooperation agreement with Kazakhstan's state oil company KazMunayGas on exploration and production activities in Kazakhstan. Under the agreement, Eni and KazMunayGas will jointly study the Isatay and Shagala exploration areas located in the Caspian Sea, said Eni.

The agreement also includes the optimisation of gas usage in Kazakhstan and a number of industrial initiatives including a gas sweetening plant, a gas turbine power plant, a drydock shipyard and the upgrading of the Pavlodar refinery. The agreement follows a preliminary Memorandum of Understanding signed in July 2009.

Eni said it expects to further strengthen its presence in Kazakhstan, where it is co-operator in the Karachaganak field and equity partner in the Kashagan field, reported Reuters.

Subsea UK Urges Companies to Capitalise on Opportunities in Russia
Subsea UK is driving a concerted effort to capitalise on the opportunities in Russia. The industry body believes the Russian market presents significant new business for UK companies but only if they act on it now before the window of opportunity closes.

"The UK has the capability and the expertise to support, finance and deliver major capital projects in upstream production, facilities or infrastructure and has a long track record in working with overseas partners in achieving success. We can help build Russian competency in the upstream sector," said Alistair Birnie, chief executive of Subsea UK who has just returned from a highly successful trade mission to Moscow and Murmansk in association with SDI and UKT&I.

"Scandinavian companies and Norway in particular have already made significant in-roads in establishing relationships at the highest level. Some Scottish and UK subsea companies are starting to do the same but we must ensure that we don’t leave it too late and lose out to our competitors."

"The UK subsea sector leads the way around the world and the Northern waters of Russia promise to be the next global energy frontier. The unrivalled experience and expertise of the UK's subsea supply chain could hold the key to unlocking the potential in the Russian Arctic shelf. Our industry and our Government need to demonstrate to Russian industry and Government that we can collaborate to overcome the technical challenges, lack of infrastructure and labour shortages."

During his visit to Murmansk, Birnie signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Subsea UK and Murmanshelf, an organisation that helps businesses enter the oil and gas industry in the Murmansk region. The aim of the MoU is to develop relationships to facilitate UK participation in the region and ensure Uk companies are on the main contractors' sub-vendor list.

At the heart of the opportunities in this area is the giant Schtokman gas field. Located at a depth of over 300 metres and nearly 600 kilometres from the mainland, this field is estimated to hold about 1% of total global gas reserves. Investment in Schtokman alone is estimated at $50 billion with investment decisions scheduled for 2010.

Murmansk will play a critical role in the development of this field and become the centre of onshore production. The region has infrastructure developments totalling $8 billion planned which will transform this region of Russia. The Schtokman field, one of the largest developments in the world, has some unique challenges. As the first of a series of 24 field development in this region, the technologies and methods developed here will potentially be exploited to other parts of the arctic region, making it a hotspot for our member companies.

Subsea UK is a self-sustaining industry body that champions the UK subsea industry at home and abroad. With over 200 members, it represents the entire subsea supply chain in the country which employs 40,000 people and generates sales of 
Ј5 billion.

SPE and GKZ Agree to Map Russian Reserves and Resources Classification to SPE's Petroleum Resources Management System
Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and the FGU State Commission on Mineral Reserves of Russia (GKZ) have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to cooperate on programs to enhance the global understanding of petroleum reserves and resources.

Under this agreement, GKZ and SPE will form a joint work group to map the Russian reserves classification system to the SPE Petroleum Resources Management System during the 2010-2011 time frame. Neither system is expected to be changed as a direct result of the MOU, and any changes will be made at the sole discretion of the relevant organization. The alignment of the two classification and categorization systems will help to ensure greater consistency of petroleum reserves and resource estimates.

The two organizations also will work together to develop a workshop to be held in Moscow in 2010 on reserves estimation and classification to enhance the understanding of the technical issues related to reserves and resource assessments.

Problem number one for all oil producing regions is preserving the potential productivity of a bed during the drilling-in process. This problem is especially topical for mature fields, fields with low formation pressures, and fields containing highly viscous oil. Therefore, the most critical stage in well construction is good, clean penetration of the producing (oil-bearing) horizon, since the initial flow rate, the duration of effective well operation, and the oil recovery factor during field development are completely dependent on the cleanness and quality of the penetration.

Due to the special importance of the drilling-in phase during well construction or workover, these operations are performed by specialized teams in many foreign oil companies.

Causes of Problems
The current and widely used methods for drilling-in and completion are far from perfect from both the technical and technological viewpoints. In the majority of cases, they do not provide the best productivity index and oil recovery factor, especially in poorly productive reservoirs and fields in the late stages of production.

During initial drilling-in, the solid, fine phase of the drilling mud, cuttings, mud globules, and crystals of weighting agents and polymers penetrate the pores and cracks in the reservoir simultaneously with the filtrate. The penetration depth of the filtrate is several times greater than the depth of the perforations, and this is the primary cause of degradation of oil inflow into a well. This is generally the result of a mismatch of the physicochemical properties and rheological parameters of the drilling mud, as well as imperfections in the hydraulics program and the drilling-in conditions.

In its natural state, a reservoir is under uniform compression by rock, hydrostatic, and geostatic pressures. The natural pressure conditions are disrupted during drilling-in, with deformations and the onset of shear stresses. These stresses sometimes exceed the rupture strength of the rock, especially where the rocks are anisotropic and have differing values of elasticity, rupture strength, and volumetric expansion. The anisotropy leads to asymmetrical deformation stresses, primarily in the borehole environment, and fractures and cavities in areas where stresses are concentrated. Deformation anisotropy of the porosity and permeability occurs. This is the next cause of reduced inflow.

The problem is aggravated by the fact that penetration of the solid particulate phase by drilling mud filtrate and deformational changes in the reservoir occur simultaneously as it is penetrated, causing irreversible processes such as pinch-off and plugging. Carbonate reservoirs are the most sensitive to deformational changes due to their fissuring.



Analysis of Experience in Use of Technology
In recent years, searches for new methods for intensifying the drilling process and improving well flow rates have led to nontraditional methods for bottomhole zone treatment during the drilling and oil production process.

To solve this problem, specialists at Timurneftegaz Research and Production Company have developed reactive acoustic equipment and technology for drilling and penetration of the producing horizon of a well, and have obtained patents for this invention (1). The patented design comprises a drill bit with a reactive acoustic module. The use of this equipment and technology reveals fundamentally new approaches to solving this problem, and experience in drilling in various fields and regions has produced the following positive results:

• the rock boring efficiency is increased, and the drilling rate is increased by 40% to 90%;
• the service life of the drill bit in the well is prolonged and the headway per bit is increased by 50% to 80%;
• the diametral wear of the bit, especially the calibrating elements, is reduced significantly;
• the drilling mud is subjected to undulation during drilling. is homogenized, and its rheological properties are improved as a result;
• a thin protective screen is created around the borehole wall that prevents penetration of drilling mud and grout into the producing and water-bearing beds and thereby prevents their contamination (cleanness of the reservoir is ensured);
• minor (up to 15 m3/hour) lost circulation in the drilling process is prevented, and the probability of gas, water, and oil kicks and formation fluid crossflow during drilling is reduced significantly;
• the formation of blockages above the bit, cave-ins, and sticking of the bit when drilling in unstable rocks is prevented, and the quality of the wellbore is improved;
• the friction on the drill string in horizontal and directional sections of the wellbore is reduced significantly and the required load on the bit is ensured;
• the reactive acoustic tension when drilling a horizontal section of a wellbore is comparable to the required axial load on the bit, and ensures that it is loaded smoothly;
• the time required to complete wells into producing beds penetrated using this technology is 1.5 times less than the standardized time, while the flow rate is 1.5-2 times greater than the flow rate from a bed penetrated using the conventional technology.

Influence of Hydroacoustic Field on Filtration Processes
In view of the special importance of the drilling-in process, the influence of the hydroacoustic field on the filtration of the flushing fluid through cores with various permeabilities was studied. (2). The results of the studies of mud filtration through core samples under static and dynamic conditions and in a hydroacoustic field differ. The essence of the differences is the change in the filtration rate over time, since the changes in the velocity and volume of the flushing fluid filtrate are the primary indicators of the formation of a protective screen, i.e., of the degree of colmatation of the borehole wall. Fig. 1 provides curves of the filtration (colmatation) rate during time under static (1) and dynamic (2) conditions and under a hydroacoustic effect (3).

The studies of the filtration processes showed that under a hydroacoustic effect the formation of a protective screen is accelerated by a factor of 10 or more, as a result of which the filtration rate drops to near zero after 15-20 seconds, and the degree of colmatation reaches 92-96%, while the volume of filtrate penetrating the bed decreases by several orders of magnitude.

This degree of colmatation is achieved in 50-60 minutes under static and dynamic conditions. A mud cake is present under static and dynamic conditions, while under hydroacoustic effects there is no mud cake, and the thickness of the protective colmatation screen is 10-18 mm in the pores of the core samples studied.

Furthermore, the decolmatation (cleaning of the pores under the influence of hydroacoustic waves) was also studied [2]. Under hydroacoustic effects on the cores, the colmatation layer is cleared tens of times faster, until the permeability of the rock is completely restored.



Hydroacoustic apparatus and technology for well completion and stimulation of the inflow from a producing horizon were developed on the basis of the studies (see pic 3 of hydroacoustic device for well completion).

In particular, hydroacoustic generators for drilling with various active elements (vortex, toroidal, disk, diaphragm and parametric generators) operating with output parameter amplification were developed. The amplitude-frequency responses of hydroacoustic generators under various operating conditions were studied to create hydroacoustic devices with the required parameters and to select the optimum design. This work was performed at the Russian Academy of Sciences Machinery Science Institute (IMASh) [3] and the regional enterprise OTO Production Ltd., with the involvement of specialists of the Machine Acoustic Institute of Samara State Aerospace University [4]. It was found during this work that the output parameters of these devices are dependent on many factors: the type and geometrical dimensions of the active elements, the density, viscosity, quantity and flow rate of the active agent in the pores, and the counterpressure in the system. However, the most important fact is that the waves generated are nonlinear hydroacoustic waves with simultaneous generation of frequencies from 0.15 to 16 kHz. Figs. 4 and 5 show the amplitude-frequency responses of hydroacoustic devices for well drilling and completion under various operating conditions.





Application of Technology
This technology can be used in the rotary drilling process using various downhole motors, including electric drills for directional and horizontal drilling with drill bit diameters of 124 mm and larger. The photographs show reactive acoustic modules for drilling directional and horizontal wells using drill bit diameters of 124.0 and 215.9 mm and a diagram of the operation of a reactive acoustic module in a horizontal borehole.

According to the results of test well drilling in the Zyuzeyevskoye field by Tatnefteprom (Almetievsk) performed to determine the effectiveness of various technologies for penetrating producing formations containing highly viscous oil, the best results in terms of the specific productivity of a formation were achieved using hydroacoustic technology.

In addition, test wells were drilled to assess the effectiveness of various well completion technologies under the conditions of the Tatneft oil fields.

Thirteen preferred technologies were used, including hydroacoustic penetration technology. The results of the test well drilling were processed and analyzed by the TatNIPIneft Institute. According to the criterion used, the best results in terms of formation penetration effectiveness were obtained using the hydroacoustic technology: the specific productivity was increased by a factor of 3.8.

In the opinion of specialists from Saudi Aramco, where 100% of the wells are horizontal wells, as well as per the horizontal drilling engineering support provided by Sperry-San, where the trial operations were conducted, the hydroacoustic technology simplifies drill string guidance and trajectory correction, improves accuracy, and accelerates drilling.






Primary Parameters of Reactive Acoustic Device:

• diameters of drill bits used: 124 mm and larger;
• flushing fluid density: 900-2200 kg/m3;
• permeability of rocks drilled: 0.001-2.0 u2;
• with lost circulation of up to 30 m3/hour and pore size of 10-8 m;
• in any type of reservoir and unspecified formation temperature and hydrogen sulfide content;
• hydroacoustic wave frequency: 0.15-16 kHz;
• pressure: 1.5-6.0 MPa;
• drilling mud consumption: 0.020-0.035 m3/sec;
• pressure differential in device: 3.0-6.0 MPa;

Overall dimensions:
diameter: 120-295 mm;
height: 350-800 mm;
weight: 20-150 kg

Conclusion
The results of the comparative analysis show that the reactive acoustic equipment and technology is unique and has no analogs in world practice in terms of its ease of use, reliability, effectiveness, and multifunctionality. The hydroacoustic technology is now the basis for developing a whole series of devices using its technological principles in the oil producing, petrochemical, and other industries. They are all superior to traditional technologies. The developers are protected by patents in the Russian Federation, the leading nations of Europe, the USA, Canada and Japan.

It should be noted that the hydroacoustic technology used in various processes is exceptionally environmentally friendly and physiologically safe, which is very important for its widespread use in the fuel and energy sector.

ROGTEC, What are the main goals of SPE in Russia?

Claudia: Russia is one of the SPE's fastest growing regions. Our office was opened in Moscow in 2007 to assist in membership development in this important region and to develop more SPE technical programs in Russia. It shows the global recognition of the importance of the Russian oil and natural gas industry. In Russia, the SPE provides access to technological advances from around the world and also provides an important opportunity to highlight the unique advances in technology that have been made by Russian engineers and scientists.

The goals are to develop SPE Applied Technology Workshops, which focus on the latest applications of relevant technology, illustrated with field case studies and examples and to support the SPE Russian Oil and Gas Technical Conference and Exhibition, run every 2 years in Moscow. It is the major international event for the upstream oil and gas exploration and production community organized in Moscow by the Society of Petroleum Engineers and Reed Spearhead Exhibition. The next SPE Russian Oil and Gas Technical Conference and Exhibition will take place in Moscow in October 2010.

SPE will also provide four leading technical experts every year to speak to SPE sections across Russia as part of its popular Distinguished Lecturer program.

One of the main objectives is to provide opportunities for students to enhance their technical and professional knowledge. We currently organize student conferences and student paper contests in Russia and starting 2009 introduced the STAR scholarship program in Russia and the Caspian region.

ROGTEC believes SPE Russia membership has been growing rapidly in recent years, how is this going and what is being done to attract new members?

Claudia: We currently have 6 professional sections in Russia based in Moscow, Tyumen, Almetievsk, Nizhnevartovsk, Noyabrsh, Sakhalin and 13 student chapters in most of the oil and gas Universities across Russia.

ROGTEC: Do you see the price of the barrel having an effect on SPE membership?

Claudia: In the current economic downturn, companies are tightening their travel budgets. The Society of Petroleum Engineers is responding by placing its technical conferences and workshops close to major petroleum operations to help reduce or eliminate travel costs. Now, more than ever, companies are seeking innovative ideas and technology that can reduce their operating costs and produce better results. SPE is a leading resource for technical knowledge that can enhance performance. Our conferences and workshops present both regional and global perspectives, offering the latest practical applications that you can take back to the office for immediate use.

We are examining whether we can relocate some currently scheduled events to be more conveniently placed and will strive to place future events close to where you operate. We are also looking for ways to use technology for our committee meetings to reduce travel expense.

This is also the time when SPE's online resources will assume additional importance as a way of keeping in contact with peers around the world and transferring technology and knowledge.

ROGTEC: Are you planning to increase the amount of exhibitions and technical meetings in Russia?

Claudia: Our current plan is to run 4 Applied Technologies Workshops annually. For the remainder of 2009 we plan the following workshops in Russia:

SPE Petroleum Reserves Estimation Workshop: Sharing the Vision (September)

ESP (October 2009)

Formation Water (November 2009)

We also are looking for local workshops to be arranged by local SPE sections in Tyumen and in Nizhnevartovsk.

ROGTEC: The SPE is a platform for technology information sharing; are there any particular technologies or topics that are being "hotly discussed" at the moment?

Claudia: SPE provides ways to share knowledge on new approaches and technological advances in all technical disciplines. There are some topics that are being widely discussed with applications across the globe, including deepwater, heavy oil, carbon capture and sequestration, enhanced recovery and unconventional reserves. The digital oilfield is also a topic of interest, with increased automation and "intelligence" built into equipment and tools, as well as better information-technology enablement of field personnel.

ROGTEC: With question 4 in mind, how do you see integration between Russian and Western technologies?

Claudia: I think that all the events we run in Russia help to integrate the best Western practices in operations within the Russian market. In October 2008 we introduced a bi-monthly SPE Newsletter called "Vestnik" in Russian. We publish SPE technical papers in every issue. Also open discussions during SPE workshops and SPE Russian Oil and Gas Technical Conference and Exhibition provide a great opportunity for Russian engineers and scientists to introduce the local technologies and innovations to the global market. As an example, all papers presented at SPE Russian conferences in 2006 and 2008 are available in the SPE e-library.

ROGTEC: How do you think the current economic climate will impact on new technology development and implementation?

Claudia: The SPE's President, Leo Roodhart, recently wrote in SPE's Journal of Petroleum Technology that "this is the time we should focus on preparing for the next upturn by retaining capacity and developing or improving the relevant technology." In an economic downturn, companies will focus more on technology that helps maximize production of known reserves, especially early production, and that helps to lower costs and improve production efficiency. Companies also will invest for the longer term in technology that helps to discover new reserves, like seismic imaging and in the technology needed to produce unconventional resources.

ROGTEC supports the up and coming generation of oil children in Russia through the art contest "We are the Children of Oilmen"

For the first time in the history of the Russian petroleum industry, a national contest named "We are the Children of Oilmen" was organised and introduced in 2008. The idea being that the children whose parents work within the O&G industry could express their view on this sector through art and hopefully encourage them to continue in the great work arena of their parents.

The first award ceremony took place at the SPE 2008 Russian Oil and Gas Exhibition. The awards were handed out on pavilion 57 and Christian Dias, Director of ROGTEC magazine, Russian Oil and Gas Technologies was proud to award gifts to all the children who had made the finals.

The gifts were kindly donated and sponsored by Swellfix, with many thanks going personally to Garron Lees.

Christian Dias was set the task of choosing a winner and because of the high quality of the work submitted was a tough task in itself. After much consideration the winner of the category "My Future Profession" was finally declared as Polina Fedoseeva - well-done Polina from all at ROGTEC!

The team at ROGTEC would also like to congratulate all of children who took part in this competition for the excellent paintings that were on display - a great effort by all!

There were 6 other categories within the competition and listed below the listed winners:


I am Proud of my Family - Igor Ustinov (11 years)


My Future Profession - Polina Fedoseeva (10 years)


The Oil Symbols - Anton Baltachec (10 years)

The Image of the Oilman - Tatiana Stepanova (8 years)

Russia is the Power - Anastasia Beloserova (15 years)


The Dynasty of Professionals - Andrey Prokofiev (5years)

One of the primary goals of the contest is to attract the youth of today to the idea of the petroleum industry as a future job opportunity. To this end, the Russian government in a joint effort with non-profit organizations, created this contest along with other activities.
The organisers of this contest believe that these are the first steps towards the resolution of the scarce human resources issue facing the petroleum industry.

The best paintings will also be exhibited in "Images of Science," an all-Russian creative contest. The works will also be showcased for one year at both Russian and international scientific and technical forums in the country and abroad.
