This article deals with the study of the initial water saturation effect of a porous medium on the oil recovery factor using a water-based nanosuspension. The initial water saturation of the porous medium in the computations varied within the range from 0 to 90%. The nanoparticle SiO2 concentration varied from 0 to 1 wt%. The particle sizes were equal to 5, 18, 22, and 50 nm. Experimentally measured wetting angles and the interfacial tension coefficient depending on the concentration and size of nanoparticles were used in computations. A mathematical model was developed, describing the transfer and diffusion of nanoparticles within the aqueous phase during immiscible displacement of oil by nanosuspension from a porous medium. Using the developed model, a systematic computational study of the effect of the initial water saturation of the core micromodel on the oil recovery factor using nanosuspension was carried out. It was revealed that with an increase in the initial water saturation, the oil recovery factor monotonically decreased in the case of displacement both by water and nanosuspension. It was shown that with an increase in the concentration of nanoparticles and a decrease in their size, the oil recovery factor increased. At that, the relative increase in the recovery factor had a maximum at an initial water saturation equal to 60%.

Systematic field studies results of the impact of modified hydrolysis lignin additives on mud and polymer mud drilling fluids functionality were presented. Samples of the original and modified hydrolytic lignin were determined by chemical and elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and BET. It was concluded that the additives of the original and modified hydrolytic lignin can reduce filtrationloss quality, reduce the friction coefficient, inhibit the swelling behavior, and increase the stability of mud drilling fluids.

The unique properties of supercritical fluid technology have found wide application in various industry sectors. Supercritical fluids allow for the obtainment of new types of products with special characteristics, or development and design of technological processes that are cost-effective and friendly to the environment. One of the promising areas where supercritical fluids, especially carbon dioxide, can be used is the oil industry. In this regard, the present review article summarizes the results of theoretical and experimental studies of the use of supercritical fluids in the oil and gas industry for supercritical extraction in the course of oil refining, increasing oil recovery in the production of heavy oil, hydraulic fracturing, as well as processing and disposal of oil sludge and asphaltenes. At the end of the present review, the issue of the impact of supercritical fluid on the corrosion of oil and gas equipment is considered. It is found that supercritical fluid technologies are very promising for the oil industry, but supercritical fluids also have disadvantages, such as expansion or incompatibility with materials (for example, rubber).

Abstract The paper presents a comprehensive mathematical model of a diesel-generator units with a valve-inductor generator. The calculated data obtained using this model allows optimizing the operation of fuel injectors and adjust the injection characteristics. The electromagnetic part of the model allows taking into account the power losses and efficiency of the generator, calculating the phase windings and their connection schemes, methods for setting the voltage or current of any shape that feeds the windings of the valve-inductor generator, as well as the characteristics of the rotor, stator, and winding materials to obtain the most effective operation parameters of the engine in various operating modes as part of the generator unit.

Abstract The paper presents the results of a numerical simulation of the process of cleaning the annulus of a horizontal well. The effect of the cuttings particle size on the efficiency of cuttings removal from the annulus of the well was studied. The geometry of a real well was used as the calculation model. Cutting particles with sizes from 2 to 5 mm were considered in the numerical study. Velocity profiles of the solid phase (cuttings particles) in annular channels were obtained in the course of conducted numerical simulation.

Abstract The paper presents the computation results of the cutting transport in directional wells. Two samples of oil-based muds were prepared. The rheological parameters, incorporated in the computation model, were measured. The geometry of the real well was used for the computation. Three well slopes equal to 15, 45, 75 degrees were studied. The sludge velocity profiles in the annular channels were obtained. The average volumetric value of the particle slip velocity was obtained (the difference between the drilling fluid velocity and the sludge velocity).

Abstract The paper presents the results of an experimental study of oil displacement by distilled water and an aqueous suspension of aluminum oxide nanoparticles. The correlation of extracted oil volume on the flow rate of the displacing fluid is obtained, and the pressure drop during the pumping of the displacing fluid through the rock sample is measured. It has been revealed that the suspension of nanoparticles can significantly improve the extraction of oil from sandstone.

Abstract The paper is devoted to complex experimental studies of methods to reduce the rate of permafrost thaw during the construction of oil and gas wells in the fields of the Krasnoyarsk territory. Laboratory physical and chemical studies on the development of drilling fluid formulations for drilling in permafrost conditions were carried out. The most significant results were obtained for clay-polymer solutions with the addition of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol. It was shown that it is possible to control the thermal, hydration and filtration characteristics of drilling fluids by introducing ethylene glycol and propylene glycol without deterioration of their rheological properties.

Abstract Numerical simulation of the oil displacement process from a porous medium by nanofluid was carried out. To describe this process a flow model of two immiscible fluids taking into account the surface tension forces and the wetting angle was used. The simulation results of the penetration of fluid with nanoparticles into a porous medium are obtained using the example of the oil displacement. The nanoparticles addition to the displacing fluid affects the process of oil displacement from porous medium significantly. SiO2 particles with a size of 5 nm were used as nanoparticles. The concentration of nanoparticles ranged from 0 to 1 wt.%. The main reason for the increase in ORF (oil recovery factor) during oil displacement by nanofluid is the improvement of rock wetting.

The paper presents the results of an experimental study of the local ventilation system. It is shown that the use of radially swirled counter-flow jet leads to significant increase in the efficiency of gas removing. This fact is confirmed by the flow visualization for different operating regimes of the device (with and without swirling). The velocity distribution along the central axis of the device was also measured. It is also shown that the use of swirling flow leads to significant increase in the velocity of removal flow. Study of the system operating parameters for different direct and counter flow ratio was carried out.
