Paraffin can be deposited in any part of the flow conduit. It can affect the flow in the borehole near formation, the downhole pump, the tubing, surface flow lines, separators, storage tanks and pipe lines. The use of Xylene or chemical products of aromatic nature can affect other components of the well completion using elastomers such as packers and artificial lift components, potentially compromising well integrity. This justifies a growing demand for environmental friendly Technologies for the removal of paraffin in oil field operation by means of non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, non-flammable, biodegradable products. As opposed to acidic products the action of the environmental friendly products requires the help of mechanical forces. This paper describes appropriate test procedures and laboratory set up to test the efficiency of the products prior to their field use. This requires that the test conditions reproduces the well and facility system. The presented set up further enables...

In North Africa like in any other region the share of the companies operating oil and gas fields as Join Venture Associations (JVs) is significant. Normally in a JV Set Up two or more companies agree to operate a field or a number of fields in a defined concession area. This implies that these corporate entities have to work in a collaborative environment towards achieving a common goal, under clear predetermined rules of interaction and organizational arrangement as per the JV Agreement. While the JV is a proven contractual and legal set up that delivers as per the set goals, under the condition of an unexpected production decline this collaborative environment is put to the test. Regardless of the nature of the Partners - whether state owned or private, the challenges are the same, especially when the decline is significant, sustained and way below the predicted yearly natural decline. Whether it is about a New Development or a Mature Asset, reversing the production decay trend be...

The challenges in introducing new technologies or advanced innovations in the Operating Units of the E & P Companies are manifold and surprisingly it is not about a lack of ideas or missing skilled staff at all. While the mandate for any E & P company is to innovate or to lag behind, often the attempts of introducing new technologies and innovations do not succeed due to factors that were left out either at the planning or at the execution stage. On the other side in the Operating Units (OUs) often the subject is associated to an alien technology team coming from the Head Quarter offices, that is in charge of it and once they get the required data or complete the test they will be gone, thus missing the purpose of promoting and establishing an innovations friendly culture inside the organization. The smooth introduction of new technologies and innovations to overcome specific technical or operational requirement does not necessarily happen because the management has decided to do it...

The Concept of the Sustainable Oil and Gas Field involves a Preventive Approach and the use of New Technologies, Innovations and Best Practices to avoid or reduce the risks of occurrence of environmental incidents and accidents achieved in a cost effective manner. This novel approach focuses on the root causes of the current gaps proposing a practical solution demonstrated on real example cases. Further it contributes to bridge the gap between non Oil and Gas Professionals evaluating the potential impact on the Environment of the core business processes related to the Exploration, Development and Field Abandonment of Oil and Gas fields. In the present Paper a method is described that supports a sustainable development and operation of Oil and Gas Fields. Further the most common reasons for the current dysfunctional procedures are analyzed as well as practical examples of the proposed approach are shown on executed projects in four continents. The proposed method builds on a preventi...

The rural environment of the education sector in Peru is made up of a small population, being a factor to deepen a gap. The purpose of the educator in this context is to apply empowered pedagogy of innovative and adapted strategies. Strategies aimed at strengthening learning through research and implementing learning conditions. The new strategies respond to the community's problems and contribute to narrowing the gap of inequality of conditions. The method is experimental and inductive - deductive, with a positivist paradigm, it implements simulation exercises in prototypes and an ecological laboratory. The work considers reuse, recycling or refused. The conclusions show an increase in the achievement of learning, students managing their diet and taking care of their health. Have validated simulation exercises in prototypes and implemented in school spaces. Train leaders and competent students to build and transmit their learning.

Researchers at Peruvian universities are looking for opportunities to effectively interact with business enterprises and communities. They have also looked for government funding for these initiatives. These interactions are governed by the “triple-helix” concept of university-company-government interaction. Research groups in both the public and private sectors are trying to implement these links. In the present work, the authors evaluate a sample of Peruvian university research groups that study renewable-energy topics. The methodology considers case studies at five Peruvian universities. A model is proposed according the third academic revolution for accelerating interactions, research, innovations, and publications on the renewable-energy topic.

The Concept of the Sustainable Oil and Gas Field involves a Preventive Approach and the use of New Technologies, Innovations and Best Practices to avoid or reduce the risks of occurrence of environmental incidents and accidents achieved in a cost effective manner. This novel approach focuses on the root causes of the current gaps proposing a practical solution demonstrated on real example cases. Further it contributes to bridge the gap between non Oil and Gas Professionals evaluating the potential impact on the Environment of the core business processes related to the Exploration, Development and Field Abandonment of Oil and Gas fields. In the present Paper a method is described that supports a sustainable development and operation of Oil and Gas Fields. Further the most common reasons for the current dysfunctional procedures are analyzed as well as practical examples of the proposed approach are shown on executed projects in four continents. The proposed method builds on a preventive approach that starts with the focus of the Environmental Impact Assessment of the activities foreseen for the early project phase, as it is at this stage where the entire project can more effectively be influenced. Further the Use of fit for purpose Innovations, Technologies and Best Practices that strive to remove the risk before it happens, supports a preventive approach. The involved technologies deliver the same outcome than traditional means in a more efficient way. The mindset that the use of those Technologies comes at a higher price is challenged by the latest developments showing that those enable both an environmental friendly workflow and economical advantages to the E & P Companies. Further the above Technologies can be applied at any stage of the field life, be it at the early field development, the operational plateau or later on at the decline and abandonment phase. Several specific examples from executed Oil and Gas Projects following key elements of the presented Concept of the Sustainable Oil and Gas Field carried out in four continents are provided, showing that operating Oil and Gas fields with Zero Gas Flare, Zero Oil Spill, small footprint, no process effluents to the environment and energy efficiency can be reflected in low oil/gas unit production costs, technical and operational excellence as well as full environmental compliance. In the present paper a preventive approach to avoid and reduce environmental incidents and accidents by means of an Environmental Impact Assessment that focuses on the early project phases and the aid of fit for purpose Technical Innovations, Technologies and Best Practices is presented. This supports the goal of 2 SPE-181169-MS achieving a more Sustainable Oil and Gas Field to safely achieve production peak and increase recoverable Reserves.
