IOGPT VISIT

The Institute of Oil and Gas Production Technology was established in 1984 to meet the technological requirement of oil and gas fields, with an objective to boost indigenous hydrocarbon production and improve the economics of operations. This is the first institute in the country to provide integrated R & D support to the entire spectrum of oil and gas production, which begins in the wellbore and ends at the consumer point. IOGPT is fully equipped with state-of-the art software and hardware to meet any technological requirement.

LABORATORIES :1. Well Analysis This department evaluates the overall performance of a reservoir and also critically analyses any production related problems and offers suitable remedial measures. Services Offered Reservoir performance analysis Identification of reservoir problems Remedial measures for production enhancement through well wise actions Measures to improve/maintain reservoir health

Software MBAL Material balance studies PROSPER System analysis PIPESIM Nodal analysis In this method, sidewall coring is used for core sampling. Then by holder the core sample is held and KCl is pumped. By this we can check permeability of formation. The oil is then liquidify by benzene and xylene and study the composition. It is used to improve permeability, bypass skin and decrease sand production.

2. Production Engineering It provides wellbore treatment of oil, gas and injection wells to enhance productivity with suggesting suitable well completion options. Service offered Well completion for vertical, horizontal, multilateral and ERD wells Work over with coiled tubing and other new technologies Well stimulation with conventional as well as advanced techniques Sand control with conventional and other new techniques Water and gas control with polymer gel and other technologies

Laboratory Equipments Sand particle size and shape analyzer Sieve analyzer Core flow setup Relative permeability analyzer

Software SAND CADE Simulator for optimization of gravel pack job design FRACPRO - Simulator for optimization of fracture design

Gravel Pack Linear Flow Set Up It is a set up to find out the gravel size. In this method, glass pipe is filled with suitable size of gravel with sand at beginning. Then water is pumped with 300-400 psi. If the sand is passed through gravels then it is not suitable for given well. Permeability Modifier Permeability Modifier is used when water cut is high in given well. In this method, biopolymers/gels are used to pump into formation. These biopolymers/gels are only allow oil to flow but not to water. These are having the life span of 6-7 months after that they become liquids and produced with waters. Also little fracturing up to 50 tonnes is done for production optimization.

3. Artificial Lift It provides laboratory studies and testing of gas lift valves and mandrels, preparation of artificial lift schemes, design of lift system, field optimization and trouble shooting. Services offered Artificial lift schemes design/optimization Probe testing of gas lift valves Performance testing of gas lift valve under static and dynamic conditions Nodal system analysis of oil and gas wells

Software GLIDE- Gas lift PIPESIM- Single/multiphase pipeline/nodal analysis PROSPER-Well performance analysis and gas lift design PRODGAS-Production system analysis of gas wells RODSTAR-Sucker rod pump design and diagnosis PLUNGD-Plunger lift design and optimization ESP DES-ESP design and optimization

Gas Lift Valve Testing I) II) III) Leak test - Check open pressure and close pressure of the GLV Shelf test GLV from leak test are then set into shelf for 5 days and then again tested. If error of more than 5% is found out then it is rejected. Joint test 5 GLVs are tested in hydraulic chamber at 350 kg pressure. After that again leak test is performed and GLVs with more than 5% error are rejected.

4. Process Engineering This department provides R&D and engineering support for conceptual and feasibility, optimization of surface facility, process plants, pipelines. Service Offered Evaluation of crude oil, natural gas and condensate Carbon profiling of crude oil and wax SARA analysis (Saturate Aromatic Resin Asphaltene) Conceptual design and basic engineering Optimization and trouble shooting Rheological properties of fluid at high temperature Pipeline design and optimization for single/multiphase transportation

Laboratory Equipment Atmospheric and vacuum distillation units Thermal gravimetric analyser Pour point/cloud point apparatus Software HYSIS Steady state and dynamic process simulation PIPESIM Steady state single/multiphase flow in pipeline and networks PRO II Oil, gas, water, petrochemical and chemical process design simulator

ASTM-D4007 Method is used to know actual amount of crude oil. By this method we can also find Bottom sediments & water (BS&W).
