Measures on oil production increase in “Darvin kupesi” field of “Absheronneft” OGPD and further oil transportation
F.G. HasanovFor increase of oil production, it is necessary to reduce hydraulic losses in the pipeline and thus produced oil-gas mixture should be transported into the midpoint oil gathering facility constructed nearby the area. The presence of a great amount of produced water, paraffin and resin in oil-gas mixture causes increase of oil-water emulsion viscosity, which, in its turn, leads to the multiple rise of hydraulic losses during transportation in cold season, and in transportation to long distances arise the issues that can be solved by means of oil-water emulsion heating. In this view, heating losses throughout the length of the pipeline depending on the initial temperature have been calculated and corresponding measures carried out.
