将水处理能力削减 55% 对水管理和石油生产产生严重影响

根据米德兰盆地 76 口处置井的 29 家运营商收到的一封信,德克萨斯州铁路委员会已要求运营商将这些资产的日注入量减少至 10,000 桶/天。此次减少量超过 90 万桶/天,即米德兰盆地允许处置能力的 55%。此外,信中还指出,运营商必须在每月 15 日提交每日注入压力和注入量,提供可追溯至 2019 年 11 月 1 日的历史注入量和压力数据,并防止已许可但未投入使用的井开始或恢复注入。有效消除一半以上的处置能力可能会阻碍米德兰盆地的石油和天然气运营,因为高效的水管理是钻井和完井计划以及持续生产的基本要求。正如 B3 最近的市场情报报告所述,米德兰盆地的核心生产面积是少数几个几乎完全从过去 18 个月的低迷中恢复过来的地区之一,这一规则的变化可能会阻碍任何进一步的进展。这项规则的制定是在米德兰盆地于 2019 年底开始经历越来越多的地震事件之后制定的,其中至少有 36 起地震强度超过 3.0 M。B3 Insight 正在构建水数据的权威来源。它通过数据驱动的智能支持智能水管理,从而做出负责任且有利可图的水资源决策。客户利用 B3 的产品和服务来评估资产、提高运营效率、降低风险、分配资本和基准绩效,同时节省大量时间、投资和资源。B3 的数据流程收集、清理和关联数百万个数据点,将不同的信息转化为最广泛使用和值得信赖的水数据工具。

Lhyfe 与 Aquaterra Energy 和 Borr Drilling 合作,通过在改装的自升式钻井平台上部署电解槽系统,开发工业规模的海上绿色氢气生产概念。北海遥远的可靠风是一种特殊的可再生资源,但偏远地区给电网连接和供电间歇性带来了挑战。该技术将通过为风电场附近生产的电力提供承购来解决这个问题,并旨在利用现有平台、管道、码头基础设施和海上设备,利用现有基础设施来降低成本。随着各国政府推动净零排放倡议,这一概念提供了现有资产的替代部署,既提供了绿色氢源,又增强了远程海上风电项目的商业可行性。虽然这一概念仍处于早期阶段,但该联盟欢迎任何感兴趣的各方提出询问。

Thermon Group Holdings Inc. 发布了Thermon EnviroDyne 甲烷销毁装置,该装置无需使用火焰即可将有害甲烷气体排放物转化为水蒸气和CO 2 。由于它在不使用火焰的情况下运行,因此它可以在使用火焰会造成严重爆炸风险的极其危险的场所安全运行。该技术由两个模块组成:一个转换器和一个没有活动部件的燃气系统模块。通过电力初次启动后,在提供空气和清洁燃料的情况下,它会持续运行。该系统具有防爆催化剂垫。由于转换器模块由300系列不锈钢部件组成,因此耐腐蚀。它适合在危险场所使用,并经过 CSA C/US 认证,满足在 I 类、1 区和 2 区危险场所、美国和加拿大温度代码 T2C 中使用的要求。

Slashing water disposal capacity by 55% has serious ramifications for water management and oil production

According to a letter received by 29 operators of 76 disposal wells in the Midland Basin, the Railroad Commission of Texas has requested that operators reduce daily injection volumes in those assets to 10,000 bbl/d. This reduction in volume accounts for more than 900,000 bbl/d, or 55% of permitted disposal capacity in the Midland Basin. Additionally, the letter states that operators must submit daily injection pressures and volumes on the 15th of every month, provide historical volume and pressure data going back to Nov. 1, 2019, and prevents already permitted wells not actively in service from beginning or resuming injection. Effectively eliminating more than half of the disposal capacity has the potential to hamstring oil and gas operations in the Midland Basin, as efficient water management is a fundamental requirement of drilling and completions schedules and consistent production. The core producing acreage of the Midland Basin was one of the few areas that had almost fully recovered from the downturns of the past 18 months, as stated in B3’s recent Market Intel Report, and this rule change may impede any further progress. The rule-making came after the Midland Basin began experiencing an increasing number of seismic events in late 2019, at least 36 of which have been over 3.0 M. B3 Insight is building the definitive source for water data. It empowers smart water management with data-driven intelligence for responsible and profitable decisions about water resources. Customers leverage B3's products and services to evaluate assets, enhance operational efficiencies, mitigate risk, allocate capital and benchmark performance while saving significant time, investment and resources.

CleanAir Engineering Inc. and Picarro Inc. will combine Picarro’s technology with CleanAir’s services to provide upstream and midstream natural gas operators with mobile methane monitoring solutions. One focus area will be CleanAir’s deployment of Picarro-equipped vehicles to conduct methane surveys and quantify emissions in the Marcellus Shale region. With this information, clients will be able to better understand their emissions rates, take action to reduce them and meet ESG targets. CleanAir specializes in finding solutions to complex environmental and process measurement challenges. To address the need for reliable and sensitive detection of methane and quantification of related emissions for the oil and gas industry, it integrated Picarro’s advanced technology and analytics into its Mobile Methane Monitor, providing a service to help the industry evaluate and report their environmental performance.

Energy companies form offshore green hydrogen jackup rig production concept

Lhyfe has partnered with Aquaterra Energy and Borr Drilling to develop an industrial scale offshore green hydrogen production concept through the deployment of an electrolyzer system on a converted jackup rig. Reliable winds far out in the North Sea are an exceptional renewable resource, yet remote locations create challenges around grid connectivity and intermittency of supply. The technology will solve this issue by providing an offtake for the electricity produced in the immediate vicinity of the wind farm and aims to use existing platforms, pipelines, terminal infrastructure and offshore equipment leveraging the existing infrastructure to reduce costs. With governments pushing net-zero initiatives forward, this concept offers an alternative deployment of existing assets that provides both a source of green hydrogen and enhances the commercial feasibility of remote offshore wind projects. While the concept is still in its early stages, the consortium welcomes any interested parties to submit inquiries.

Thermon Group Holdings Inc. has released the Thermon EnviroDyne Methane Destruction Unit, which converts harmful methane gas emissions in water vapor and CO2 without using a flame. Because it operates without employing a flame, it operates safely in otherwise extremely hazardous locations where using a flame poses a serious risk of explosion. This technology consists of two modules: a converter and a gas train module that feature no moving parts. Following initial startup via electric power, it operates continuously when supplied with air and clean fuel. The system features an explosion-proof catalyst pad. Because the converter module consists of 300 series stainless-steel components, it is resistant to corrosion. It is suitable for use in hazardous locations and is CSA C/U.S.-certified to meet requirements for use in Class I, Division 1 and 2 hazardous locations, Temperature Code T2C in the U.S. and Canada.
