    ALGERIA UPSTREAM OIL & GAS REPORT Completed by: M. Smith, Sr. Commercial Officer, K. Achab, Sr. Commercial Specialist, and B. Olinger, Research Assistant Introduction Regulatory Environment Current Market Trends Technical Barriers to Trade and More Competitive Landscape Upcoming Events Best Prospects for U.S. Exporters Industry Resources Introduction Oil and gas have long been the backbone of the Algerian economy thanks to its vast oil and gas reserves, favorable geology, and new opportunities for both conventional and unconventional discovery/production. Unfortunately, the collapse in oil prices beginning in 2014 and the transition to spot market pricing for natural gas over the last three years revealed the weaknesses of this economic model. Because Algeria has not meaningfully diversified its economy since 2014, oil and gas production is even more essential than ever before to the government’s revenue base and political stability. Today’s conjoined global health and economic crises, coupled with persistent declining production levels, have therefore placed Algeria’s oil and gas industry, and the country, at a critical juncture where it requires ample foreign investment and effective technology transfer. One path to the future includes undertaking new oil and gas projects in partnership with international companies (large and small) to revitalize production. The other path, marked by inertia and institutional resistance to change, leads to oil and gas production levels in ten years that will be half of today's production levels. After two decades of autocracy, Algeria’s recent passage of a New Hydrocarbons Law seems to indicate that the country may choose the path of partnership by profoundly changing its tax and investment laws in the hydrocarbons sector to re-attract international oil companies.

  • Study of Development Alternatives for Remote Offshore, Low Energy Reservoirs: the Wisting Field Case
    Study of development alternatives for remote offshore, low energy reservoirs: the Wisting field case Elshad Yadigarov Petroleum Engineering Submission date: July 2017 Supervisor: Milan Stanko, IGP Norwegian University of Science and Technology Department of Geoscience and Petroleum Abstract This work summarizes a series of analysis conducted to determine an optimized field development plan for Wisting oil field. The field presents several unique challenges, such as low reservoir pressure, very shallow reservoir depth and remoteness from the available infrastructure. The study used a homogeneous reservoir simulation model built during the Specialization Project. Some of the crucial data, such as porosity, permeability and horizontal-to-vertical permeability ratio had a huge uncertainty involved in it. In order to account for this, 27 reservoir models with a combination of those uncertain properties were constructed and integrated with the 3 production network models. As a result, 81 integrated models were run and the oil production data was then used to evaluate the NPV (Net Present Value) of each of the considered cases. 3 production network models have been used for the analysis – wells with no artificial lift, wells with gas lift and subsea multiphase boosting. Gas lift rate optimization study was conducted to maximize the production and the economics of this development option. Multiphase booster pump power requirements, which would meet the field operational conditions were also determined. NPV was set as an objective to decide on the most preferable development alternative. The capital expenditures for each of the development options were estimated with a commercial software, which was available for a limited period.

    Lessons Learned from Natural Gas STAR Partners Installing Plunger Lift Systems In Gas Wells Executive Summary Technology Background In mature gas wells, the accumulation of fluids in the well Liquid loading of the wellbore is often a serious problem in can impede and sometimes halt gas production. Gas flow aging production wells. Operators commonly use beam lift is maintained by removing accumulated fluids through the pumps or remedial techniques, such as venting or “blowing use of a beam pump or remedial treatments, such as down” the well to atmospheric pressure, to remove liquid swabbing, soaping, or venting the well to atmospheric buildup and restore well productivity. These techniques, pressure (referred to as “blowing down” the well). Fluid however, result in gas losses. In the case of blowing down removal operations, particularly well blowdowns, may a well, the process must be repeated over time as fluids result in substantial methane emissions to the reaccumulate, resulting in additional methane emissions. atmosphere. Plunger lift systems are a cost-effective alternative to both Installing a plunger lift system is a cost-effective beam lifts and well blowdowns and can significantly alternative for removing liquids. Plunger lift systems have reduce gas losses, eliminate or reduce the frequency of the additional benefit of increasing production, as well as future well treatments, and improve well productivity. A significantly reducing methane emissions associated with plunger lift system is a form of intermittent gas lift that blowdown operations. A plunger lift uses gas pressure uses gas pressure buildup in the casing-tubing annulus to buildup in a well to lift a column of accumulated fluid out push a steel plunger, and the column of fluid ahead of it, of the well.

  • Retrofit Gas Lift a Practical Solution to Increase Production
    Seminar Nasional Cendekiawan 2015 ISSN: 2460-8696 RETROFIT GAS LIFT A PRACTICAL SOLUTION TO INCREASE PRODUCTION Zikrina Khairun Nissa, Rachmat Sudibjo, Kartika Program Studi Teknik Perminyakan, Universitas Trisakti Abstract The purpose of this final assignment is to introduce an alternative new method of unconventional gas lift which also the first implementation done in Indonesia by ConocoPhillips Indonesia on their wells in North Belut, Natuna. though, artificial-lift technology is well established, alternative methods or new developments continue to play a role in solving problems and meeting production challenges. This final assignment will also describe the specific and detailed systems of this method, so hopefully the wells with this method could produce to its fully potential. Keywords: Restrofit Gas Lift, Unconventional Gas Lift Introduction When a reservoir lacks sufficient energy for oil, gas and water to flow from wells at desired rates, supplemental production methods can help, gas and water injection for pressure support or secondary recovery to maintain well productivity, but artificial lift is needed when reservoir drives do not sustain acceptable rates or cause fluids to flow at all in some cases. Lift optimization to get the most fluid from a well or field at the lowest cost offers opportunities for substantial production gains in new wells or mature fields. When selecting and designing lift systems, engineers must consider reservoir and well parameters, but field development strategies should be factored in as well.Artificial-lift technology is well established, but alternative methods or new developments continue to play a role in solving problems and meeting production challenges. Alternative here means of deploying lift systems allow profitable production from previously uneconomic wells or fields.

The GGFR was transformed into the Global Gas Flaring Reduction Public-Private Partnership at the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) held in Johannesburg in August 2002. The existing partners at the time of the WSSD were the Bank, Shell, BP, Sonatrach of Algeria, and the governments of Ecuador, Nigeria, and Norway. Since then, the governments of Angola, Cameroon, Indonesia, and the United States, as well as Chevron Texaco, ExxonMobil, Norsk Hydro, Statoil, ENI, and TOTAL, have joined the GGFR.
