a) Reducing the use of water and its disposal
Scenario: You are an engineer working on a well treatment project. The initial plan involves injecting 10,000 gallons of water to stimulate oil production. However, due to concerns about water disposal and cost, the project manager suggests exploring gas spiking.
Task:
Note: This exercise is a simplified representation for illustrative purposes. Real-world calculations would require more detailed information and engineering software.
This is a simplified correction for illustrative purposes. Real-world calculations would require more detailed information and engineering software.
1. **Research:** - Nitrogen is a common choice for spiking due to its inert nature, availability, and relatively low cost. - Other options could include CO2, depending on the project's specific goals.
2. **Calculation:** - A 20% reduction in water volume means injecting 8,000 gallons of water. - The volume of water removed is 2,000 gallons. - To estimate the volume of nitrogen needed, we need to consider the relative densities: - Water density: 1 g/cm³ - Nitrogen density: 0.00125 g/cm³ - This means nitrogen is approximately 800 times less dense than water. - Therefore, the volume of nitrogen needed would be roughly 2,000 gallons / 800 = 2.5 gallons (approximately). - **Important:** This is a very rough estimate and doesn't account for factors like pressure, temperature, and compressibility.
3. **Cost Analysis:** - Initial water disposal cost: 10,000 gallons * $5/gallon = $50,000 - Nitrogen spiking cost: (Assuming 2.5 gallons of nitrogen is roughly equivalent to 100 cubic feet) = $10 - In this simplified example, nitrogen spiking would be significantly cheaper than water disposal.
