New Products Pinpoint Refracturing Technology The EXCITE system from Comitt Well Solutions is a patented downhole tool technology designed for restimulation and refracturing of existing oil and gas wells. The tool is deployed on either coiled tubing or conventional stick pipe and enables selective pinpoint injection of fluid and proppant into both existing and newly added perforations. Activated solely by pump rate and pressure, the EXCITE system allows for adaptive activation and deactivation of the tool, through-tool circulation, and reverse circulation without any need for mechanical manipulation of the work string. This unique feature in turn allows for debris cleanout and screenout mitigation to prevent stuck-tubing ¬scenarios. The tool system has recently been field-trialed in previously completed shale wells in which both existing stages and newly added perforation clusters in between old stages were treated in a single run. During field trials, 170,000 lbm of sand were placed into a single cluster at pump rates up to 17 bbl / min. Ó For additional information, visit www.comitt.net.

Fig- 1 Comitt Well Solutions’ EXCITE system enables selective pinpoint injection of fluid and proppant into both existing and newly added perforations.

Fluid-Analysis and -Sampling Service The FASTrak Prism fluid-analysis and sampling-while-drilling service from Baker Hughes, a GE company, uses advanced sensors and proven technology to collect and reliably deliver high-quality fluid samples and comprehensive, real-time reservoir characterization. These samples provide valuable insight into the reservoir to help operators improve efficiencies and make more-informed decisions around their overall well-¬completion and production strategy. Unlike conventional services that require additional post-drilling runs to collect samples, the service’s high capacity—16 discrete -single-phase samples per run, and up to 13.4 L of total fluid volume—provides operators with the representative fluids required for their strategic development and appraisal decisions in one drilling run, resulting in significant rig time and cost savings. The FASTrak platform of sampling services has an extensive field record with hundreds of samples collected worldwide. Continual measurement and analysis of pumped fluid during sampling operations makes it possible to monitor contamination and fluid properties easily and accurately before capturing the fluid sample. The service’s fluid chambers feature proprietary technology that enables it to acquire samples with minimal contamination. Multichannel spectrometry extends the accuracy and reliability of the service, allowing customers to distinguish between fluid types clearly and improve their understanding of fluid properties, especially in complex flow conditions.

Plug-Launching System Tesco introduced the new MultiPlug Launching System (MPLS), built to launch multiple plugs or darts remotely for regular and multistage cementing in onshore or offshore applications. The MPLS in standard configuration measures approximately 7.5 ft in length and is made up of two simple chambers in a launching cylinder. A release mechanism allows each plug to drop away remotely. This system removes the need for manual plug launching. The MPLS maximizes safety and efficiency in tubular running and cementing operations. The modular design allows for additional plugs to be launched by simply adding body segments to the unit. Plug loading can be performed in the shop before transport to a location. The simple design also allows for disassembly on location to preload plugs before rigging up in the derrick without the need for a bucking unit. Although the MPLS can be run without a casing running tool, optimal performance and maximum value is best achieved when it is used in conjunction with the Tesco Casing Drive System or Compact Casing Drive System to simplify, speed up, and more fully automate the transition from casing running to cementing.

Fig-6 The FutureWaves wave- and ship-motion forecasting system

General Dynamics Applied Physical Sciences introduced FutureWaves, a wave- and ship-motion forecasting system. FutureWaves provides a tool that uses remote measurement of the ocean waves around a ship to provide a deterministic forecast of the ship’s motions for minutes into the future. This technology was originally pursued by the US Navy to support seabasing operations involving transfer of personnel, vehicles, and equipment between ships at sea. The FutureWaves output provides recommendations for the best ship heading and speed to minimize ship motions and identifies upcoming large-motion events and quiescent periods. At the core of the FutureWaves system is the remote wave sensor, a specialized X-band Doppler radar able to measure the orbital motions of ocean waves. These measurements are fed to a specialized processing chain to generate a mathematical representation of the waves, using a least-squares inversion technique. This representation of the specific waves in the region of the ship is then evolved forward in time according to wave-propagation physics to produce forecasts of future waves. An embedded simulation tool provides forecasts of the associated ship motions, allowing operators to anticipate and respond to upcoming motion events. This capability has been demonstrated at sea on a number of Navy vessels ranging in size from 120 to 950 ft. Ó For additional information, visit www.aphysci.com.

Wellbore-Pressure-Management System Weatherford introduced the PressurePro control system, a fully integrated rotatingcontrol-device (RCD) and choke system for wellbore-pressure management on land. The control system combines the SafeShield 5M RCD, which has a 5,000psi rating, with the PressurePro set-point choke. The system can be used for managedpressure-drilling, underbalanced-drilling, and foam-¬drilling applications. With semiautomated functionality and a userfriendly interface, the system does not require specialized personnel, continual supervision, or manual adjustments.

Before drilling, the desired pressure set point is input. Then, during drilling, the system automatically senses changes in downhole pressure and instantly adjusts the choke to maintain wellbore pressure within 5 psi of the set point. Ó For additional information, visit www.weatherford.com.

Egypt’s Energy Hub Qualifications and Industry Leaders’ Insights Egypt has laid out its vision to become a regional energy hub following discoveries of large offshore gas reserves in the East Mediterranean. This vision is critical as the energy sector remains the major driver of the country’s balance of payments. Recent developments suggest that Egypt has a clear potential to become a trading and export hub, notably for natural gas. However, the realization of this ambition will depend on the country’s capacity to mitigate geopolitical, financial and regulatory risks. This should go hand in hand with energy diversification to reduce dependence on gas and sustain anticipated exports.

Simultaneous gas discoveries in offshore Egypt, Israel and Cyprus have opened a new opportunity for regional integration because discovered volumes seem to exceed domestic market capacities in the respective countries. Egypt’s bid to become a regional energy hub is built on three pillars: strategic location on key trade routes, proximity to resource-rich countries with relatively saturated domestic markets and advanced export infrastructure. This last factor, in our view, is the defining pillar of Egypt’s regional hub strategy

The hydrocarbon sector is a key force driving the economy. With total proven reserves of 95 trillion cubic feet (TCF) at end-2017, Egypt is the 16thlargest gas reserveholder globally and the second largest gas producer in Africa.

It is viewed as a world-class hydrocarbon area with active drilling in four basins including offshore Mediterranean.

The exploration and production (E&P) segment is critical for the balance of payments (BoP) as it typically contributes two-thirds of incoming gross foreign direct investments (FDI) with at least four oil majors among the top 10 foreign investors in Egypt. Hydrocarbons also underpin Egypt’s trade balance and account for nearly half of total exports mainly in the form of light crudes and naphtha. Furthermore, as the largest source of corporate taxes in Egypt, the energy sector strengthens fiscal stability.

The turning point was the discovery of the ZOHR giant gas field (ENI) in August 2015. This gas field, with its recoverable reserves of 22tcf, has not only replenished

32 Petroleum Today

- February 2018

Egypt’s total gas resources by one third, but has also been fast-tracked to start production by the end of 2017. Egypt is currently replenishing most of its gas production with new discoveries and is likely to achieve self-sufficiency by 2019. These new discoveries are comprised of two large offshore projects, Zohr and West Nile Delta (BP), in addition to the smaller NORTH (ENI) and Atoll (BP) fields that should jointly produce c.5bcf/d at plateau representing 1.1x Egypt’s current total gas production.

Further discoveries of small and fast-to-plug plays such as NORTH and North Alam El Shawish (Shell) have boosted investor confidence and attracted new entrants to the sector such as frontier national oil companies and private equity funds.

The first and foremost constraint is large domestic demand that caps the gas surplus available for export.

While Egypt is on track to regain a gas surplus by 2019, the challenging question is how long it can remain a gas exporter.

The prime consumer of gas is electricity generation, which burns c.60 - 65% of Egypt’s gas output. Another source of gas demand is gas-intensive industry (steel, fertilizers), which is expected to return to full utilization in step with the economic recovery. Here, Egypt has to choose between exporting surplus gas in either LNG in order to accumulate reserves or industrial forms in a way that maximizes factors of economic development such as employment and industrial integration.

To free up gas capacity for export, Egypt has to diversify the energy mix away from fossil fuels. Hydrocarbons made up more than 95% of primary energy consumption in 2015. Although Egypt launched an ambitious renewables strategy aiming to increase the contribution of solar and wind resources to 20% of power output by 2022, progress has been rather slow and restricted to public projects rather than independent power producers (IPPs). As renewables accounted for only 0.5% of Egypt’s power generation mix, it will effectively take a long time for the country to reduce its dependence on gas for power generation.

Can Egypt become an East Med gas hub?

Our understanding of the gas hub approach entails trading and export dimensions. The trading dimension positions Egypt as a deep and open gas market where sellers and buyers transact freely under efficient regulatory conditions.

Although this is an important dimension to developing gasintensive industries such as petrochemicals, it would require ample time and continuous regulatory adaptation to evolve.

The second dimension positions Egypt as a gas export hub not only for its own surplus domestic production, but also for the excess output of other East Med basin countries.

Egypt’s existing LNG terminals on the two flanks of Nile Delta seem to be the answer to the East Med gas surplus question. The two plants, which are currently nearly idle due to gas diversion to the domestic grid have an aggregate export capacity of c.12 MTPA and are capable of exporting 1.7 bcf/d with limited mothballing requirements. That theoretical export capacity provides a platform to handle combined production of Leviathan (phase II) and Aphrodite at mature levels as well as Egypt’s peak exportable surplus

in 2021 based on our own forecast. Moreover, connecting Mediterranean discoveries to Egyptian infrastructure requires substantially lower investment than construction of Greenfield LNG facilities in Cyprus or Israel.

Prospects for the development of an energy hub

The power sector offers potential synergy with gas in Egypt’s energy hub strategy. The country’s power generation capacity, which is predominantly provided by gas-fired units, long suffered from underinvestment pre-2011, that resulted in unprecedented power outages in 2012 - 2013.

Sector reform was made a presidential priority and led to the tendering of mega fast-track projects representing a 60% addition to net installed capacity such as that of Burullus/ BeniSuef/New Capital 3x4.8 Giga Watt (GW) combinedcycle power plants. The power investment cycle is expected to boost generation capacity from 39GW in 2016 to 60GW in 2020. More importantly, the government is enhancing the efficiency of gas usage by increasing the contribution of combined-cycle gas-fired units in the total generation mix from 32% at present to c.50% by 2019. New capacity additions should increase overall gas consumption but,

Petroleum Today

- February 2018

33

nonetheless, reduce gas burnt per megawatt produced, hence optimizing energy usage. Power investments were coupled with sector deregulation and a 5-year tariff reform plan whose three rounds of hikes were implemented from 2014 to 2016.

Large public investment in the power sector should satisfy consumption in the medium term with a 15% reserve margin to support any sudden uptick in economic growth.

The positions Egypt to extend its energy hub vision to electricity because the grid is currently generating daily an off-peak surplus of 4GW that will rise to 8GW with the full commissioning of mega plants in 2018. The surplus opens the way to export electricity to neighboring countries as part of the energy hub plan.

But that ambition comes with strings attached as Egypt faces three constraints to exporting electricity.

First, Egypt’s power sector remains primarily dependent on gas feedstock. The major risk to becoming an electricity hub is delayed execution of the energy diversification strategy, which would pressure remaining gas reserves.

The second risk is limited marketing destinations for Egypt’s surplus electricity.Reserve margin is expected to peak at 40% in 2019 before normalizing, although the number of export markets that can absorb that surplus capacity is limited. This is due to political instability in Egypt’s traditional export markets (Libya, Syria) and the expected power surplus in Israel. That leaves Egypt limited material options such as the 3GW interconnection with Saudi Arabia (under

34 Petroleum Today

- February 2018

construction) but likely to trade electricity both ways. Also there is the 1GW interconnection with Cyprus and Greece, which are short of power but have to invest heavily in hightechnology subsurface cables in order to plug with Egypt.

The Egyptian government expects the Saudi interconnection to come online by 1H2019. The third risk is the limited financial capacity of the Egyptian power sector as it has just completed an unprecedented CAPEX cycle in 2014 - 2016.

That cycle has been largely financed by international ECAbacked debt whose amortization should begin in late 2018.

Egypt is also pursuing substantial investments in domestic transmission and distribution, thereby making further investment in export infrastructure rather constrained. These three risks should determine Egypt’s chances to export excess electricity. However, there is also room for upside potential if Egypt outperforms on domestic growth and/or Libya stabilizes faster than expected and can absorb excess power supply in the medium term.

Egypt is expected to become a net gas exporter by 2019.

But the answer to the question of for how long depends on the management of domestic demand and supply mainly through diversification of energy sources. This uncertain situation, in fact, underlies Egypt’s ambition to become a regional export hub for all East Med gas owing to its factor Endowments. However, Egypt’s ability to navigate through geopolitical and financial risks, including current account vulnerability, is what should eventually make its energy hub ambition a reality.

Pronouncements of Industry Leaders and Executives of the benefits from Egypt’s Energy Hub Plan ،،By the beginning of 2021, Egypt will be a main regional hub for gas and crude oil,,

Petroleum Minister Tarek El Molla told a press conference last month.

Energy analysts say the cheapest way for Egypt,s neighbors to send their gas supplies abroad would be through Egypt,s two unused liquefaction plants, but this is complicated by legal and logistical problems or by financial constraints.

«The lack of a political framework between all these countries is still an obstacle,» said Riccardo Fabiani, a Middle East and North Africa analyst at Eurasia Group.

“Egypt will be completely self-sufficient. At the end, they’ll also export energy. It will create stability in Egypt. They can create cash flow selling gas and promote their own development. Then they can aggregate. They can create a hub with Israel, with Cyprus, in the future with Libya. They can be one of the solutions for European energy security” Said Claudio Descalzi, ENI CEO

We believe with the right incentives in place for operators and a government that is willing to work with new and creative business models the renaissance in Egypt’s O&G sector is just beginning. The oil and gas environment is ripe for continued growth and development through partnerships between IOCs and the government.

You’re seeing the culmination of that in the offshore projects that are coming online.

Without the government giving increased gas prices to those operators those projects never would’ve gotten funding. But let’s not forget about the Western Desert, which is the key driver behind Egypt’s current production. This is also the place where I believe the nation has the most remaining oil potential, which can be witnessed by numerous oil discoveries that Apache made in recent years.

“Transformation of Egypt into a regional oil and gas trading hub is absolutely feasible and it will be the gateway to add value to the Egyptian economic growth and sustainable development. In addition to its unique location over Mediterranean and Red Sea, Egypt has the required infrastructure of oil ports, Sumed pipe line, refineries and LNG plants that enable it to be a regional hub for energy. Furthermore, the agreement of the border demarcation between Egypt, Cyprus and Greece helped Egypt to discover the huge Zohr Gas field that will fulfill the domestic needs and put Egypt again on the map of countries exporting gas, alongside to the central location of Egypt that will facilitate the logistics of receiving crude oil, gas and petroleum products from these countries throughout Egypt.”statement of Eng.

AN INTERVIEW WHIT

Mr. David Chi

Regional vice President & General Manager Apache Egypt

Apache is one of the most effective IOCs in the market internationally and in the region.

We would like to know the recent activities in preview?

Apache has been through a strategic transition recently where we have built very strong core assets both in North America and internationally. With the discovery of Alpine High, one of the biggest discoveries in the world in recent years, we are poised for strong, profitable growth in the Permian Basin in the near term. Meanwhile, we continue to excel in our other core assets, such as Egypt, where we keep delivering significant value and production which benefits all our stakeholders. Besides winning two new concessions in the Western Desert last year, we are also conducting a large high resolution 3D seismic survey which I believe will revolutionize the way we find oil in Egypt for many years to come.

How could Apache survive from the oil prices downturn recently?

Apache entered the downturn a very different company than it is today. We’ve sold our Australia region, LNG interests, and most recently our Canadian assets. In many ways, Apache has not only survived the downturn but executed a significant strategy shift that has positioned us to thrive in the years ahead. There are a few things that I believe have driven our success in this time and put us in the right position moving forward.

• We responded quickly to the downturn in oil prices by reducing activity, cutting cost, and focusing on our core assets. This enabled us to conserve cash as prices crashed.

We pulled back on activity faster and harder than most of our peers who thought that the downturn might be short lived. We believed that the best course of action with regard to our activity levels was being conservative.

• We exited underperforming assets and high-graded to our core competencies. By exiting Canada we’ve re-directed that cash to Alpine High in West Texas. We were able to swap out of a low margin business with sizable asset retirement obligations and move into low cost acreage with massive potential.

40 Petroleum Today

- February 2018

• Our international regions continued to generate free cash for us throughout the cycle allowing us to fund the corporation without issuing equity or debt. Most of our peers had to either dilute shareholders or declare bankruptcy to survive this downturn. Apache has done neither and we believe that shows our commitment to our shareholders and that our interests are aligned with theirs for the long term. We are interested in long term value creation through any cycle and not short term production increases.

• Finally, in order to thrive in the years ahead we invested at opportune times to reload our inventory of economic projects at any price point. Examples include shooting seismic here in Egypt in the largest seismic project in Apache’s history, key exploration projects in our North Sea region, our decision to step out and spend money on acreage acquisition and exploration activity in the discovery of Alpine High. Our approach has set us on an impressive growth trajectory as those investments will pay dividends for many years to come. It takes a great deal of fortitude to make those investments in a declining price environment and I applaud our leadership for making the correct but difficult call in this time in the industry.

Apache has a slogan of «Exploring What’s Possible». How does this slogan reflect the company›s philosophy?

We are about challenging the status quo. We’re going to push the extents of what’s possible. That is in our very DNA. If you look at Apache historically we’ve taken assets that other companies said were at the end of their life and we’ve approached them with a can do attitude that says we believe there’s something greater in store for these fields.

We’ve pushed the limits of what those areas can do and as a result we’ve realized huge success. You can look at our track record here in Egypt or in the Permian Basin or the North Sea and see how we’ve truly “Explored what’s possible” in those areas and the value we’ve created from that.

A great example of the “exploring what’s possible” mentality in Apache Egypt is the 2X program which we entered into in 2005. Apache accepted the challenge to double production in 5 years, which was a massive undertaking.

To go from ~160MBOE/D to over 330MBOE/D in 2010 was a fantastic accomplishment. Starting at a size that was larger than most companies and then endeavoring to double that was something that most companies wouldn’t have ever attempted. But not Apache. We’re always up for the challenge of pushing the limits of what other people think is possible. We are continually pushing ourselves to think bigger and that flows throughout the entire organization.

Lately in 2013, Apache completed Egypt partnership with Sinopec. Now, How did this partnership affect the growth of the business?

for continued growth and development through partnerships between IOCs and the government. You’re seeing the culmination of that in the offshore projects that are coming online. Without the government giving increased gas prices to those operators those projects never would’ve gotten funding. But let’s not forget about the Western Desert, which is the key driver behind Egypt’s current production.

This is also the place where I believe the nation has the most remaining oil potential, which can be witnessed by numerous oil discoveries that Apache made in recent years.

We believe that there are plenty of opportunities to create value for Egypt and for IOCs through partnerships in developing the rich oil and gas resources in this country.

Egypt is entering a new era of mega gas projects in the Mediterranean, but we believe that there is sizable potential in the rest of Egypt. In the hands of the right operator and the right partnership agreement, there is the ability to reach for new heights in areas of Egypt that many believe are past their prime. All of that requires an operator with a can do attitude and a partner in Egypt that wants to create win-win scenarios.

The Egyptian Petroleum industry witnesses a golden era with the recent activities and discoveries. We would like to know your vision about Egypt and the possibility to be an energy hub in the region.

Apache has many charity events and community serving activities in Egypt, especially in Matrouh region. We would like you to shed the light on these achievements.

Put very simply our partnership with Sinopec allows us to do more with less. We are now able to operate more rigs for the same amount of capital because our partner now pays 1 / 3 of our costs. This gives us the opportunity to drill more wells and explore additional areas of the western desert.

This increases our overall chance of success because we have interests in a greater number of wells. We believe that drilling more wells based on our geological expertize can be beneficial to all stakeholders. That is what we’re here to do and that’s one of the things we do best.

Additionally, the partnership with Sinopec has given Apache Corporation the cash to increase activity across the company. Apache ramped up drilling across our assets in North America following the closing of the transaction with Sinopec. As a result of our deal with Sinopec, we have been able to do more with less in Egypt and the cash facilitated incremental projects in across our portfolio.

We believe with the right incentives in place for operators and a government that is willing to work with new and creative business models the renaissance in Egypt’s O&G sector is just beginning. The oil and gas environment is ripe

Apache’s approach to corporate social responsibility programs (CSR) is based on a simple philosophy: “give where we live.” Apache CSR programs encompass a wide variety of activities that create value for our stakeholders and the community. Our CSR activities include: employee-

driven philanthropic acts, civic infrastructures, building and maintaining schools, supporting future engineers and providing an environment that encourages a healthy workforce.

In Egypt, our CSR programs focus on both long-term and short-term needs of the communities. For immediate needs, we have a number of programs where we provide assistance to medical needs of communities. For example, we donated essential medical equipment to hospitals in Matruh, BeniSuef, and Cairo. For long-term development of the nation, we focus on education. At the forefront of Apache’s community efforts is our ongoing campaign to provide educational opportunities through our partnership with Springboard: Educating the Future. In 2004, Apache funded the National Council for Childhood and Motherhood’s project by building 201 schools for in rural areas in Egypt. Since 2004, Apache has supported the schools with regular maintenance activities, school supplies, computers and medical needs.

7,000 students benefit from these schools yearly, and more than 10,000 girls have learned how to read and write from the schools we built and maintained. Today, around 2,200 graduates from Springboard schools are currently enrolled in middle schools and high schools to continue their education.

Apache is keen on following up on the graduates’ progress and on providing them with assistance to pursue their dreams.

Because we appreciate the people who live and work in the communities where we operate, Apache has constructed a total of nine co-educational schools to benefit the Bedouins in the Matrouh area in Egypt’s Western Desert. Around 300 students attend these schools. Apache Egypt’s engagement with the Bedouins not only includes building schools but also includes regular meetings to exchange information on Apache’s oil and gas exploration and production activities and providing employment and aid for the Bedouin families.

Apache is considered as a dynamic working environment, we are eager to know the recent discoveries and how Apache utilizes the available resources to get the best outcome.

Apache believes that our most important asset is our people.

Unleashing their full potential is what enables us to achieve more and push beyond our peers. In order to continue this track record of positive results Apache continues to invest in its people and position them for success. Our recent performance unlocking the potential in the Ptah & Berenice fields in the western desert illustrates our culture that promotes a “team of teams” environment where everyone is working towards the same goal. By aligning all of our people and bringing them together around a united purpose we are able to achieve the impossible. Our drilling, reservoir,

operations, and facilities teams got together and found a creative solution to our constraints in the Kalabsha area. I challenged the team to find a way to unlock all our drilling potential in a way that created value for Apache and Egypt.

The collaboration across all the teams was phenomenal and we increased our production to record levels as a result.

As one of the Egyptian Petroleum industry leaders, give a piece of advice for the students, early career petroleum engineers, and young professionals as a kind of experience and knowledge transfer.

I think the most important thing is to have an open mind about learning, and work hard to make an impact. The best way to learn is through doing, so don’t be afraid to take on additional challenges and enjoy the process of solving a problem and getting things done. It’s also important to know that one should always focus on doing the right things, which means you have to focus on making the right decisions. And then focus on doing things right, means you have to execute and getting things done.

After excellent production records in kalabsha field is there is additional development in PTAH and BERENICE field’s?

We plan on drilling a number of additional wells in Ptah this year. In Berenice, we are evaluating all options for optimal development of the field through its entire lifecycle. We recently upgraded the pumps on our Berenice wells, which has contributed to the record breaking production increase.

We work to continually optimize all of our operations and Ptah and Berenice will continue to receive a great deal of focus as we move from a drilling focus in the area to a production maintenance and maximization strategy. But it’s not just about Ptah and Berenice, the entire area around Kalabsha is full of oil production potential. Besides the two aforementioned fields we’ve made many more discoveries after Ptah and Berenice are found. And with the new high resolution seismic coming we will be able to find a lot more.

AN INTERVIEW WHIT Eng. Hussein Fouad El-Ghazzawy Vice President & Managing Director, Egypt & East Med.Region Schlumberger

Obviously, you have a great journey around the world with Schlumberger in different positions and with different clients. We would like to hear that in your way.

It is a long story driven by passion. I joined Schlumberger as a field engineer after graduation in July 1984 and it was a real honor to start my career in a leading oil services company. I began my career in the field - spending two years in Egypt, and then Pakistan, followed by Nigeria, and West Africa. .

In Nigeria, I held my first management position, managing nearly thirty engineers. After that, I moved to Libya to run operations, before returning to Egypt between 1998 to 2000, to manage Schlumberger’s Drilling and Measurement product line for Egypt, Sudan, and East Mediterranean..

Next I moved to a sales and marketing based position in Dubai which was great experience as I was travelling a lot, and was exposed to many customers and technical challenges.. My next role as Regional Manager involved managing D&M segment operations in the UAE, Oman, Qatar, and Yemen, before becoming the General Manager for entire Schlumberger Oil field Services for Yemen from 2007 to 2010. After that, I moved back to the UAE to be the Vice President & General Manager for Schlumberger UAEat that time I was responsible for over 2000 employees from approximately 60 nationalities - a high percentage of which were women. It was a completely diverse working environment and a really enriching experience. Now, I have returned to Egypt to undertake a similar job as Vice President & Managing Director for Egypt and the East Mediterranean.

I am delighted to be back in Egypt to share my experience and knowledge within my home country.

Of course, we know the history of Schlumberger but we would like to know from you the learned lessons from that long journey and how the company dealt with the ups and downs in the oil prices.

Schlumberger has extensive domain knowledge of exploration and production (E&P) operations gained through more than 90 years of experience. Therefore, we

46 Petroleum Today

- February 2018

have a unique understanding of operating in an industry downturn and as always, we remain committed to our customers and ensuring excellence in service delivery. The prolonged downturn of the last three years has meant our industry has had to change and during this time, we have sought to strengthen our technology offering and our market presence in leading markets around the world. During the same period, we have restructured all relevant parts of the company, in terms of size and organizational set-up, to maximize our market competitiveness and operational agility.

As we can see, Schlumberger has acquired different companies along its journey to deliver higher service quality and to enlarge its scoop. How do you see this thing affects the growth of Schlumberger?

Integration can be a constructive way of growing a business and incorporating more areas of O&G operations. In April 2016 Schlumberger completed the acquisition of Cameron International, enabling the combination of our complimentary portfolios into a pore to pipeline product and service offering. The transaction facilitated the creation of technology-driven growth by integrating Schlumberger reservoir and well technology with Cameron wellhead and surface equipment, flow control, and processing technology. Schlumberger now boasts a holistic offering enabling optimal efficiency and recovery rates from the first geological survey to the delivery of the produced fluids to the end user.

How does Schlumberger care about R&D and why?

With a global network of research and engineering facilities, Schlumberger places strong emphasis on developing innovative technology that adds value for our customers.

In 2017, we invested close to $800 million in R&E for our oilfield activities. We are committed to developing new technologies and innovative services to enable the exploration of challenging oil and gas resources, to increase the production from new and existing fields, and to improve the efficiency and reduce the overall cost of the exploration and production cycle. For example, in 2017 we launched the xBolt* accelerated drilling service that maximizes drilling efficiency through robust reliability and highspeed electromagnetic and mud pulse communication rates, enabling operators to deliver wells faster while positioning

the wellbore accurately within the reservoir. We also unveiled the new Pulsar multifunction spectroscopy service that pairs multiple detectors with a high-output pulsed neutron generator to provide stand-alone cased hole formation evaluation and reservoir monitoring with openhole logging quality.

New technologies are regularly deployed in Egypt and in fact Egypt pioneered the use of some of the innovative techniques before other places Going forward our objective is to connect E&P domains, people and processes through a digital foundation. We recently launched the DELFI cognitive E&P environment to enable secure collaboration across E&P teams by leveraging digital technologies - analytics and machine learning, high-performance computing, and the Internet of Things - to improve operational efficiency and deliver optimized production at the lowest cost per barrel.

The Egyptian Petroleum industry witnesses a golden era with the recent activities and discoveries.

We would like to know your vision about Egypt and the possibility to be an energy hub in the region.

Many exciting opportunities exist in Egypt and we are working with our customers on a wide range of projects.

More recently we have seen a move towards higher levels of integration as customers recognize the benefits.For example, offshore Egypt, the Testing & Process product line used a combination of technologies for Belayim Petroleum Company (Petrobel) to complete a production test of the first appraisal well on the Zohr discovery in the Shorouk block.

Lately in 2017, TGS and Schlumberger announced a new 2D Multiclient project in Egyptian Red Sea. We would you to wrap up this attractive initiative and your expectations for the red sea region.

Yes, in July 2017 TGS and Schlumberger announced a new 2D seismic project offshore Egypt. The project involves the acquisition of more than 60,000 km2 2D long-offset broadband multiclient seismic survey. Advanced new acquisition and imaging techniques will provide better illumination of complex subsalt structures. The project will integrate all legacy seismic and non-seismic data.

Acquisition commenced in mid-December and is expected to complete March 2018. Our program will have significant impact on the exploration potential for the entire Red

Sea (600,000 km2 across 5 countries). Our collaborative approach will help customers to identify high potential play segments, assess exploration risks and accelerate hydrocarbon maturation cycles.

How will the new gas law draw a new energy map in Egypt?

Egypt is already rich by its Natural resources, Human resources & infrastructure; a more attractive legislative environment will open up new opportunities.

The new operational base in the 6th of October, Egypt›s Center of Efficiency (ECE), Will it replace the other bases? Why did you establish it? What is new concerning it?

Yes, the new Schlumberger base is a state of the art facility located in the industrial area of 6th of October city over 100,000 m2. The center for efficiency is equipped with our latest technologies and also comprises of a training facility that will serve us, our customers and the Egyptian O&G sector . The majority of our employees in Egypt will be based out of the new center, however we will also maintain our other facilities such as Salam base WD, Abu Rudies, and Ras Shoukeir to assist with our operations over there., the base is a state of art with investment more than $60 million ,

Egypt as a GeoMarket, How challenging is the working environment and what are your recommendations for a better progress as well as your plan in the upcoming years?

Egypt is a very competitive market, and we are working to e ensure that we exceed our customer’s expectations.

Maintaining the highest levels possible of health and safety for our employees, customers and contactors, as well as protection of the environment in the communities in which we live and work is of paramount importance]. This is achieved through an unwavering commitment to planning, execution of job and evaluation after the job.

GRAVEL PACK COMPLETIONS SUCCESSFUL HISTORY IN MEDITERRANEAN SEA GAS FIELDS, EGYPT By

W.Gabr, S. Zayed, Belayim Petroleum Co. (PETROBEL)

A

bstract

Mediterranean Sea offshore concessions are located about 30 – 60 km off the Northern Egyptian coast. More than 25 gas prospects have been identified. These accumulations are often characterized by several hydraulically independent reservoirs. Three gas-condensate fields were discovered by three exploratory wells in 1982, 1983 & 1995, finding several gas bearing intervals inside Wakar and Abu Madi Formations (Miocene age). Following, further 9 gas fields have been discovered identifying several lean gas bearing intervals inside Kafr El Sheikh Formation (Plioceneage).

In 2002, a lot of wells started to produce sand causing severe problems to the surface facilities and reducing the concessions production potential. In 2003, a sand control campaign was undertaken in Mediterranean Gas fields to recover the full fields’ capacity using both Gravel Pack Completions (first time in Egypt in well PFM–7) and Expandable Sand Screen Completions (first time in Egypt in well PFM–8).

By time, Expandable Sand Screen Completions proved its failure in many cases and are minimized to very limited cases.

The aim of this poster is to highlight the advantage of Gravel Pack Completion technique used in North Port Said, Temsah & Baltim concessions over Expandable Sand Screen Completion technique focusing on successful case histories and its positive impact on production and reservoir potential.

INTRODUCTION

Most of the gas wells are producing from sandstone formations deposited in marine or delta environments.

In the case of older and deep formations, sand grains are cemented by limestone or silica minerals, and in general the consolidation process is at a mature stage.

50 Petroleum Today

- February 2018

More recent deposits, (starting approximately from the Miocene) are partially consolidated and their degree of cementation is non-existent or extremely low. In such reservoir, the sand production risk is extremely high.

In most cases, sand production leads to serious operative problems affecting production and safety.

This factor is one of the most important constraints in developing reservoirs in weak sandstone formations and, consequently, one of the main factors that determine the profitability of the investments.

Before 2003, Petrobel suffered from sand production resulting in severe damage to the surface and topside facilities with very dangerous gas leakage (risk of fire occurrence) and reduction of the production potential below the contractual DCQ. To overcome the sand production problem, an action plan was defined as follows: Ó Perform production test using wellhead desander unit (WDU) for the existing flowing wells to define the optimum sand free rate. Ó Completion of the new wells and workover of the existing wells with sand control technique.

This paper is presented to highlight Petrobel sand control experience using both Gravel Pack and Expandable Sand Screen Completions in the operated Mediterranean Sea gas fields and their impact on the production potential in addition to the advantage of Gravel Pack Completion techniques over Expandable Sand Screen Completions.

SAND PRODUCTION DEFINITION

Sand production can be defined as follows: The failure of weak sandstone causes the detach of the grains which are transported inside the well by the produced fluids.

The physical process can be described by a two stages

mechanism (Fig–1): 1) The onset. The first stage is a process of failure of the reservoir rock in the vicinity of the wellbore walls. As a result, the original texture is destroyed and the grains are entirely loosened.

Basically, there are two factors which trigger off sand production: Ó Rock strength. Ó The intensity of the forces applied to the formation around the well.

In the majority of cases, the risk of triggering off sand production increases during the reservoir production stage, due to the fact that the effective pressures (i.e. those which act on the rock skeleton alone) increase in time.

As a result, in many cases the strength of the formation is sufficient to withstand the forces applied at the production start-up; however, sand production is set off during reservoir production when the pore pressure decreases (and the effective pressure increases) by a certain entity.

2) Erosion and transport. The second stage starts after the rock matrix has been destroyed: the sand grains are eroded and transported inside the well by the fluids produced.

The amount of sand produced and the way it is transported inside the well depend on the following factors: Ó Fluid velocity. Ó Fluid viscosity. Ó The effects of relative permeability in the case of twophase fluid production. Ó The size of the sand grains.

EXPANDABLE SCREEN TECHNOLOGY

Expandable screen technology as shown in Fig–2 presents an interesting alternative to traditional sand control techniques in both cased and open holes. The concept of the technology is to deploy a small OD screen to the productive interval of the well. The screen is then expanded against the casing or borehole wall by forcing a tapered cone through the ID of the screen. In the cased hole, the expanded screen covers the perforation tunnels to prevent sand production.

In the open hole, the screen “re-stresses” the borehole walls to stabilize the well and prevent sand production. The ID through the expanded screen is large to allow deployment of conventional tools and equipment for future remedial operations.

The current expandable screen design consists of overlapping layers of woven metal cloth sandwiched between and two slotted steel tubes for protection. The residual opening size of the slots in the steel tubes following expansion is a function of the degree of expansion; thus, the slots are not

suitable or intended for sand control. The weave provides the sand control during well production and is designed to maintain a fixed opening following expansion of the screen.

The openings in the weave are sized relative to the formation sand. Benefits of sand control using expandable screen technology include: Ó Eliminates pumping operations required with conventional gravel pack completions. Ó Small initial OD to allow deployment through restrictions common in remedial well operations. Ó Large ID following expansion to maximize future remedial operations. Ó Stabilizes borehole in open hole applications to stop formation sand from moving to minimize screen erosion/ plugging concerns. Ó Eliminates open annulus associated with conventional standalone screen to allow more reliable production log interpretation, stimulation treatments and water/gas shutoff operations.

GRAVEL PACKING TECHNOLOGY

Gravel pack completion is the most used option for sand control, blocking the sand grain movement with a screen in front of the productive zone and placing gravel in the annular space between the screen and the casing (ICGP) or the sand face (OHGP).

On Petrosaid fields, depending on the reservoir characteristics, various completion techniques were experienced.

ICGP is the traditional and most adopted sand control method because of it is the simplest one and because of its wide range of applicability. It consists in perforating the casing in front of the formation, running the screen and filling with gravel the annular space and the perforations tunnels.

As successful ICGP require a deep penetration of the perforations to over passing the wellbore damage zone and a tight packing of the annular space and perforation tunnels.

This technique can be used practically everywhere sand control is needed but, with the income of other sand control methods, it is mainly selected when: Ó Good permeability of the formation. Ó Multiple zone completion is required. Ó Bore hole instability was expected during gravel placement. Ó Formation grain size reasonably large and uniform. Ó All productive layers could be penetrated by the perforations (no thin sand-shale layer are present). Ó Water presence that exclude formation fracturing. Ó Water breakthrough expected and water shut off is forecasted.

Petrobel applied this completion technique in Darfeel (7 wells, 9 completion) and Karous (2 wells) fields. With the aim to define the Flow Efficiency (F.E.) on these completions, Darfeel wells were tested before and after completion. After gravel packing, the wells were stimulated with HCl to remove the possible damage induced during the drilling and completion operation.

Encouraging results were obtained with good completion efficiency. In fact, even if this is not the most aggressive technique, it is demonstrated by the productivity obtained for said wells, that the calculated average F.E. after the completion is 75%, ranging from a minimum of 54% to a maximum of 90%. Moreover, thanks to the right sizing and packing of the chosen gravel, 6 year after the start-up, the wells show the same efficiency over the time.

High Rate water pack technique uses water as a carrier fluid for the gravel; it is the most popular alternative to gravel packing methods using polymers which can reduce the natural formation permeability. The completion method allows very tight annular packs.

On high permeability zones, water packing has the disadvantage to have large completion fluid losses and the high leakoff rate, which can cause bridging in the screencasing annulus with consequent premature screen out.

Trying to overcome the above mentioned problems, targeting high completion efficiency in a high permeable formation (k>500 mD) and minimizing the risk of opening fracture into the lower water bearing level, in well Nouras-3S HRWP was designed and performed at low rate to enhance gravel placement into the perforations. The successful of the HRWP job has been demonstrated by the positive performance of the well producing with F.E.=80% and gas rate of 13 MMScf/d.

Nouras-1 is the second HRWP experience. The operation has been performed on 6 m sand level.

Also in this case good productivity was achieved proved by F.E.=88% and high sand free gas rate, the well is producing with a rate of 56.5 MMScf/d.

OHGP usually has a higher potential than ICGP, mostly due to more flow entry area (increased reservoir contact) and less formation damage.

OHGP is mainly preferred in: Ó Reservoirs with clean sandstone formation without shale beds. Ó Multilayered reservoir to provide maximum exposure of all productive layers. Ó Presence of fine formation grains where high pressure drop in perforation tunnels are expected due to gravel plugging by fines. Ó Reservoirs where no water shut off are forecasted.

Three successful OHGP were performed in the Petrosaid

52 Petroleum Today

concession, two in Port Fouad field and the third one in Nouras field.

In order to guarantee the maximum formation potential, in all the performed completion it was always applied the same procedure: Ó The casing is set above the target zone. Ó Targeted formation has been drilled and enlarged with a Drill In Fluid (sized salt or calcium carbonate drilling fluid). The wellbore enlargement has the double advantage to eliminate any drilling damage around the wellbore and to increase the inflow area. Ó The gravel pack screen is hung as an uncemented liner and the space between the screen and the formation face is packed with properly sized gravel.

The procedure demonstrates its validity with very quick clean-up and high Flow Efficiency obtained in the wells where applied.

In well PFM-07, the 7» liner has been set at the depth 3260 m MD, the 6» hole was drilled and undereamed to 12 ¼” from 3260.4 mMD to 3280.6 mMD, then the OHGP was performed. At the start-up (June, 2003), the well showed soon its great potentiality and, after a quick clean-up period, it was stabilized to a gas rate of 78 MMScf/d (3,500 bopd of associated condensate), limited by the erosion velocity on the 4 1 / 2” production tubing.

In well PFMSW-03, the 7» liner has been set at the depth 3819.5 m MD. As in the previous well, the OHGP has been performed drilling and underreaming the 6» hole to 12 ¼” from 3920 m MD to 3838.5 m MD. At the start-up the well has been opened at 53 MMScf/d and gradually increased to 81 MMScf/d (3,600 bopd of associated condensate).

In well Nouras-2, the well has been completed in a shallow formation with a low initial static pressure. Consequently high F.E. is mandatory to have good productivity potential.

The use of DIF in the drilling and enlargement operation reduced the risk of wellbore collapse in the shallow and unconsolidated formation. The 9 5 / 8» casing was set at 756 mMD, the 8 1 / 2» was drilled and enlarged to 15» hole from 756 mMD to 781 mMD, then OHGP was performed. As for the other OHGP, great performance was achieved producing with F.E.=96% and rate of about 35 MMScf/d.

In the all three experienced cases, great completion potential was obtained with an estimated average F.E. of 95%.

PRODUCTION & RESERVOIR POTENTIAL It is worth mentioning that in the last 14 years, Petrobel completed 26 gas wells with Expandable Sand Screen (15 of them “i.e. more than 50%” are closed due to screen failures), 64 gas wells with Inside Casing Gravel Pack (33 of them are

closed due to water flooding, No screen failures reported) and 18 gas wells with Open Hole Gravel Pack (9 of them are closed due to water flooding, No screen failures reported).

In the last 3 years and due to more advantages of Gravel Pack all over the other completion techniques, it is considered the first option in our company now while utilizing Expandable Sand Screen technique was decreased to the minimum. Petrobel succeeded to maximize production by applying that technology and increased the production by more than 1.4 Bscf/d.

CONCLUSIONS

Great results were obtained with the OHGP soon with the first application. In the two Port Fouad cases, wells are now producing with rate higher than 78 MMScf/d and they are limited by the erosion velocity on the completion tubing (4 ½”).

We can summarize the conclusions in the following: Ó OHGP completion, using a proper DIF for both drilling the pilot hole and underreaming, Ó produce good results in terms of hole stability and preserving reservoir from damage.

Ó Practically, it is a fair balance between simplicity and high flow efficiency. Ó HRWP demonstrate improvement in pack factor and well productivity. Ó integration of the relevant data in designing the best sand control solution is essential to ensure proper results. Ó More than 50 % failures in cases which ESS technique was applied. Ó Advantage of GP Completion techniques over ESS Completions. Hence, it is considered the first option in our company now.

Nano-fluids show potential use in applications related to upstream oil and gas industry to improve the performance of several processes such as exploration, drilling and completion, production and enhanced oil recovery operations. However, their applications for water-based drilling mud (WBM) needs attention to address efficient drilling in a High Pressure and High Temperature (HPHT) environment. In the present work, nanofluid-enhanced WBM (NWBM) are prepared using the nano-fluids of CuO and ZnO (size -50 nm) in a xanthan gum aqueous solution as a base fluid, and used as an additive in WBM. The nano-fluids are prepared for nano-particle concentrations of 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 % of wt. in base. The prepared nano-fluids are added as an additive of 1.0% (by volume) to WBM. The enhancement in thermal and electrical properties of NWBH is studied. It is observed that NWBM show improved thermal and electrical properties by about 35.0% compared to WBM. An increased concentration of nanoparticles further enhances electrical and thermal properties of drilling fluids. The NWBM based on CuO nano-fluid are observed to show improved thermal properties, and are more resistant to HPHT condition than ZnO- based NWBM. High pressure rheological studies are conducted on

NWBM to understand the effect of nano-fluids on the rheological properties at varying temperatures (25, 70, 90 and 110 0C) and pressures (0.1 MPa and 10 MPa). The effect of pressure on the rheology of NWBM is more significant at higher temperatures, and indicates that the better rheological stability in case of NWBM. The most significant role that the nano-fluids play is in-stabilizing the viscosity at higher temperatures.

The experimental data on flow curves obtained forvarious NWBM are fitting to the classical drilling fluid rheological models (Power Law model, Bingham Plastic model and Herschel–Bulkley model). The Herschel Bulkley model is observed to be the best fit-model for rheological behavior of NWBM and can be applied for efficient NWBM design.

1. Introduction

Nano-fluids have recently attracted attention in the petroleum industry as potential solutions to several shortcomings of conventional drilling fluids (1). Drilling fluid is in charge of numerous functions during the drilling operation including transport of cuttings to the surface, maintaining the wellbore pressure and stability, lubrication and cooling of the drill bit and isolation of formation fluids by forming a filter cake around the borehole.

Most troubles for some drilling issues are directly or indirectly triggered by fluid related problems including loss

of drilling fluid and wellbore instability (2). Nano materials are capable of reducing the permeability and the porosity of the media and increase its yield point and mechanical strength.

Filtration and rheology tests performed on nano-fluids unveiled the significant capabilities of nano calcium carbonate to increase the consistency and sealing capabilities of the filter cakes. The behavior of nano particles in invert (water/oil) emulsion drilling fluids was investigated. Iron hydroxide nano particles were prepared in invert (water/oil) emulsion drilling fluids by reaction with FeCl3 and NaOH at room temperature. Presence of iron hydroxide nano particles in invert emulsion drilling fluid substantially reduced the fluid loss.

In the past, addition of particles to classical viscoelastic surfactant (VES) fluids was perceived as counterproductive, in that the particles were viewed as pore plugging and thereby damaging to the reservoir permeability and productivity, and their use would diminish the primary reason for using VES fluid. However, it has been found that select nanosized particles can be used to improve the performance properties of VES fluid. The nanoparticle material is an inorganic crystal with very-low solubility by water, oil, or solvent. More recently, it has been discovered that select nanoparticles that exhibit pyroelectric behavior can

improve PCM fluid properties further.

Typically, pyroelectric particles exhibit an increase in electrostatic charges on their crystal faces when heated. Use of pyroelectric type nanoparticles can give a degree of delayed pseudo cross linking of VES micelles, where fewer intra-micelle associations occur at ambient temperature but a higher amount occurs as the fluid is heated to reservoir temperatures. The pyroelectricnanoparticle – pseudo cross linked VES fluid developed a pseudo filter cake and was a wall-building fluid, but after the spurt, the leak off control was noticeably lower.

2. Fluid Viscosity.

Brookfield PVS Rheometer tests were performed to compare classical VES with pyroelectric nanoparticles present at 100 sec−1 shear rate. The tests with pyroelectric nanoparticles showed a substantial increase in viscosity. The 1.0% volume of active VES with pyroelectric nanoparticles showed more viscosity than the classical VES at 2 vol% active VES. The 2.0% volume of active VES with pyroelectric nanoparticles showed almost twice the viscosity as classical VES.

3. Permeability enhancements

The injection of a regular mud acid (RMA) solution results in dissolution of calcite, clays and feldspar minerals.

Consequently, reservoir porosity and permeability can be enhanced in a region extending several meters around the injection well. Nevertheless, high reactivity and a weak flow prevent the penetration of acid in the far field between the wells. This high reactivity also involves the risk of Portier and Vuataz creating wormholes, able to increase the porosity but not always the permeability of the fractured reservoir.

Many factors affect mineral dissolution and associated enhancement in formation porosity and permeability, including mineral abundance and distribution in the formation, reaction ki-

netics, and injection rate.

Finally, this study demonstrated that acid mixtures injection can play a significant role in the development of porosity around injection wells. It was shown by numerical modeling that mixtures of acids have the possibility to react with carbonates and silicates, dissolving them and opening new pores within the reservoir. The positive effect of acid injection on porosity is proportional to the amount of injected acid. Looking for commercial production rates of the wells and other chemical stimulation techniques should be considered such as fracture acidizing.

This type of acid job should reach the fracture network of the far field and connect with the injection and production wells.

A new clean biopolymer-based fracturing fluid has been developed. The new fluid has high conductivity, stable viscosity, low pipe friction, excellent proppant transport, and the capability to be used with produced water. This fluid-system development effort was aided by the evolution of a new approach to proppant transport measurement as well as the operational development of a dry-polymer blender used to effectively hydrate the fluid system as part of an on-the-fly treatment. The new fluid has been field-trialed in 14 frac stages over four wells with two million pounds of proppant placed. The application of the new fluid and experience of the field-trials are discussed.

This new clean fluid is widely applicable to fracturing low-permeability reservoirs worldwide and can be used where both water frac and traditional gelled fluids are currently used. This fluid signals a dramatic shift in fracturing low-permeability unconventional reservoirs by coupling excellent proppant transport with high conductivity.

Traditional guar-based fracturing fluids, as commonly used, give poor retained fracture conductivity. This has been shown in several studies in which the effective fracture length is a frac-

tion of the modeled propped fracture length as shown by production history matching (Peleset al. 2002)(9). Other types of fracturing fluids that have high retained fracture conductivity in tests can be cost prohibitive and often have poor proppant transport, for example, surfactant gels and water fracs, respectively. Another common issue is that the water must be fairly fresh for the fluid chemistry to work properly.

A feasibility project was initiated to develop a fracturing fluid that would address the limitations of traditional guar systems. The design objectives of this feasibility project were to produce a fracturing fluid using nano scale inorganic materials along with polymers under micro emulsion to creat a smart fluid that is active in nano size and would cause the following: ● Provide good proppant conductivity ● Have sufficient viscosity to created good fracture width. ● Provide good proppant transport ● Have good fluid-loss characteristics ● Provide a good viscosity break ● Have stable viscosity at BHT of approximately 200°F ● Be a simple system to operationally execute ● Be within current economic bounds ● Stay within current HSE guidelines

3.1. Procedures:

Hydraulic fracturing is a technique that aims to increase well productivity.

The fracturing gel is applied against the reservoir rock under high differential pressure to create fractures. A proppant (sand, bauxite or ceramic) is pumped into the well with the fracturing gel with the purpose of keeping the fracture open and creating a high conductivity path that eases the flow of fluids from the geological formation to the well (Grothe et al., 2000)(10). A fracturing gel should provide sufficient viscosity to suspend and transport the proppant into the fracture, and should break into a low-viscosity fluid after the fracturing is completed. This break

facilitates the fracture cleaning by allowing rapid counter flow of fluids to the surface. According to Terracina et al. (1999) (11), a broken gel is one that has a final room temperature viscosity less than 8 mPa s at 511 s_1 on a Fann model 35 for Rheometer. According to Voneiff etal. (1996)(12), a fracturing gel must break to a viscosity of 50 mPa s to ensure that the gas reserves are maximized.

Surfactant-based fracturing gels can be broken when exposed to hydrocarbons or formation water. Therefore, conventional breakers, commonly used in polymerbased gels, are not required, and the oil or gas produced can act as breakers for surfactant-based gels.

Current methodologies devised for gel break tests are specific for polymerbased fracturing gels. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate a proper methodology for surfactant-based gels.

3.2. Experimental 3.2.1. Materials and methods 3.2.1.1. Chemicals

The chemicals used to prepare the smart fluid were: a commercial anionic surfactant isoamyl alcohol; pine oil, CMC, guar gum, distilled water and other chemicals.

3.2.2. Pseudo-ternary phase diagrams To determine the Winsor’s regions in a pseudoternary diagram (figure.1), the oil phase was mixed with the surfactant / cosurfactant pseudo component and the mixture was titrated with water to observe the changes in the Winsor’s regions. The volume of water used was determined in each phase change assay.

The pseudoternary phase diagram was constructed by plotting the amounts of water, oil, and surfactant/co surfactant phases used in the experiment.

3.2.3. Preparation of chemical After obtaining the pseudo-ternary diagram with a gel region, a point inside the gel region was chosen. The gel was prepared in a Waring Blender, where

all the chemicals were added at the same time, and stirred for 30 min.

3.2.4. Rheological measurements and Core samples measurements: Rheological experiments were performed in a Brookfield rheometer. The apparent viscosity measurements were obtained (table.1) by varying shear rate or time, at different temperatures.

It was found that, in these experiments, a period of time of 1 min, prior to the actual measurement recording, was necessary in order to allow the system to reach equilibrium (so as to avoid complexities arising from timedependent phenomena related to gel rheology). Other thanboth these the samples permeability, porosity, stress, strain and hardness were measured (table.2). In addition to this the samples were scanned using SEM (figure.3).

3.2.5. Testing Basically, the test consisted on the injection of fluids into sandstone core sample and the carbonate core sample (figure.4) collected from the American university in Cairo core lab. The core samples were isolated in a vacuum chamber. The brine used was composed of 2.0% wt. of KCl. The crude oil used presented 130 mPa s viscosity and 0.89 gm/cm3 density, at 26oC. All the core samples were roasted at 700oC for 18 hours, prior to isolation with resin, with the purpose of removing humidity and increasing core permeability value.

The experiments were conducted in the following sequence: 1. In order to determine the absolute permeability of the core samples, brine (2.0% wt. of KCl) was injected at a constant flow rate into the core, in the opposite direction to oil production, at 100 psi; 2. Once the core sample was 100% saturated with brine, oil was injected at a constant rate, in the production di-

rection, at 200 psi. The oil injection into the core sample was continued until obtaining connate water saturation (Swi); 3. To simulate reservoir conditions, brine was again injected into the core sample at constant rate, once the reservoirs presented residual oil, in the opposite direction to oil production, at 200 psi; and 4. The fluid was then injected at a constant flow rate, in the opposite direction to oil production, at 200 psi.

Samples were collected, initially with some oil content, until limpid samples were observed. These were collected at specifically determined periods of time, starting from the activation of a chronometer when the pressure was applied. After the samples were collected, gel break was verified by assessing theviscosity, in a Brookfield Rheometer, at 26oC.

4. Results and Discussion

4.1. Pseudo-ternary phase diagram A pseudo-ternary phase diagram was constructed inorder to identify the gel region .A well-definedgel region can be observed in this pseudo-ternary phasediagram. With the aim of studying the gel strength effects alongside buffers to prevent the PH value from falling and causing the polymer to breakdown.

4.2. Testing in an injection cell Tests can be performed to examine the break capacity of the chemical when in contact with oil or formation water.

The results were verified by determining the viscosity of the collected samples, after flooding of the smart fluid into the coresample saturated with oil and brine. Samples of fluids were thus collected as a function of time, initially containing oil and brine, and observed under the SEM of the core samples and had its permeability tested.

From the tests, it could be observed that the smart fluid was effective as it performs

duliality as both a hydraulic fracture and chemical treatment. The efficiencyof the fluid was demonstrated by the primary results from the very first tests. The SEM of the core samples shows that it is more effective with the carbonates rock (figure.6) under low pressure while its efficiency is higher with sandstone (figure.5) under high pressure. If used with high concentration with carbonates and with high pressure it can cause a huge fracture in the formation and as it hold its own proppant in Nano scale, it can be a suitable fracture fluid.

Conclusion

From the tests, it could be observed that the smart fluid was effective as it

performs duality as both a hydraulic fracture and chemical treatment. The efficiencyof the fluid was demonstrated by the primary results from several of first tests. The SEM of the core samples shows that it is more effective with the carbonates rock under low pressure while its efficiency is higher with sandstone under high pressure.

If we used the high concentration of carbonates and under high pressure it can cause a huge fracture in the formation and as it hold its own proppant in Nano scale, it can be obtain a suitable fracture fluid.

This study demonstrated that acid mixtures injection can play a significant role in the development of porosity

around injection wells. It was shown by numerical modeling that mixtures of acids have the possibility to react with carbonates and silicates, dissolving them and opening new pores within the reservoir.

The porosity o sandstone was increases from 22% to 30%, while its permeability was increases from 40md to 47md.

The positive effect of acid injection on porosity is proportional to the amount of injected acid. Looking for commercial production rates of the wells and other chemical stimulation techniques should be considered.

Finally, the use of smart fluid could be the solution to drill the low permeable formations.

providing foreign currency to the country.

Petroleum Today Magazine had the honor to meet Engineer/ Saad Hassan El-Khadem, Chairman and M.D of Future Pipe Industries SAE (FPI) and had this interview.

in 1996 of one of the pioneer companies in GRE pipe production - WAVIN REPOX, a Dutch company that was owned by the Dutch SHELL Company at that time. SHELL set up this business in the late 1960’s aiming out develop an alternative pipe material for steel pipes which are plagued by high corrosion rates and hence developed this epoxy based composite pipe product to have exceptional corrosion resistance, far superior to traditional steel pipe.

-What about Pipes Factory in Egypt?

The factory in Egypt was established in

1998, in 6th of October Industrial city, with a share capital at incorporation was 12 million Egyptian Pounds which was increased to 51 million Egyptian Pounds.

The factory’s area at startup was 40,000 square meters and is currently 66,000 square meters, the factory’s actual production start was in late 1999. There were two main products manufactured in Egypt, the first product was GRP pipe (Glass Reinforced Polyester) used in utilities projects such as water, sanitation, irrigation and power plants, while the second product is GRE (Glass reinforced Epoxy) used mainly in

the petroleum sector and other critical high performance applications.

The company in Egypt was expanded in 2005 when it set up a GRE fittings factory (elbows, Tees, flanges etc.), which produces more than 15 thousand fittings per month and exports 90 % of its production to other group factories globally. These export sales provided a vital great source of US Dollars during the FOREX crunch a few years ago.

-What are the most important products and services that the company provides?

The products are all related to Pipes industry and its fittings, and we also manufacture on demand Chemical tanks.

Our Products in Egypt include Products: ■ Wavistrong® GRE Pipes & Fittings Applications: ■ Fire Fighting lines ■ SW and Waste Water Disposal ■ Water Injection and Separation ■ Crude Flow Lines ■ Gathering Lines ■ Medium to high pressure Crude transmission lines ■ Well Casing & Tubing ■ WAG service ■ Crude oil (Containing H2S and CO2) ■ Chemical Open and closed drains ■ Waste disposal lines ■ Desalination plant piping ■ Chemical sewer liners ■ Brine Disposal lines ■ GRE liners for flow lines and tubing Advantages: ■ Fully corrosion resistant material, internally and externally ■ Higher flow rates with potential to downsize pipe ID ■ Lighter weight product with a very smooth inner surface.

■ Faster installation requiring less equipment and no welding ■ No cathodic protection required ■ No corrosion inhibitors or additives ■ Reduced shipping costs ■ Resistant to paraffin build-up ■ Suitable for high temperatures approaching 100 °C. Who are the most important clients of the company?

The company sells its GRP products to Irrigation, power plants and municipal applications to important clients like Arab

Contractors, EGYCO and Mukhtar Ibrahim.

For the oil sector these are some of our major clients supplied over the last 18 years with our GRE products: General Petroleum (GPC), Rashid Petroleum, Gasco, SUCO, Burullus, United Gas Derivatives, Midor Refinery, Khalda Petroleum Co., Badr ElDin Petroleum, Suez Oil Processing, Sumed, Petrobel, Qarun Petroleum, Alexandria Petroleum, Total Hamra oil, Al-Amal Petroleum, E-Lab complex in Alexandria, Egyptian Styrenics, ETHYDCO – and last but not least, Enppi & Petrojet who act as Engineers and Contractors to most of the above companies.

Does the company offer other services besides providing products?

We have a team of skilled technicians to visit the job sites and provide technical advice and assistance to the contractors.

We also undertake actual site jointing of our products on site, plus full project management and engineering support such as performing surge and stress analysis of complex piping system.

What are the quality certificates obtained by the company?

The company obtained ISO 9001 quality certificate and 14001 certificate plus other certifications relevant to the O & G sector such as FM (Factory mutual) Approval which is a certification for the suitability of using GRE piping in underground firefighting networks. The Egyptian factory is also one of the few factories world-wide approved by the French oil company – Total.

Our products are characterized by their high

performance and quality and conformity to international standards and there is no difference in the quality of pipes that are produced in Egypt from those produced in different countries where our factories are located such as in the GCC, Europe, Indonesia and the USA. Is the company involved in major export projects?

Total Quality Management (TQM) caused a great deal of interest in the 1990s. Many authors indicate that the TQM philosophy could improve the management of any area inside the company. The current study aims at measuring performance and current levels of safety management system in some petroleum companies. A cross sectional survey study was designed to determine employee performance and current status of total quality management system integrated with safety in some petroleum companies to provide evidence about the importance of certification and implementation of QHSE system at two categories; certified and noncertified. Results of factor analysis revealed that the principal components that play important role in driving safety management system in certified companies differ from un-certified ones, emphasizing the important role of certification of the management system.

The results of monitoring implementation of QHSE reflect the role of implementing QHSE management system in lowering of non-conformities and improving performance of organizations. Conclusively, integrating OHS and TQM definitely can increase the productivity and saves time and costs as it prevents duplicated efforts.

Keywords: Total Quality Management (TQM), Safety management, Total safety management Introduction

There are many forms of safety management in the workplace.

The types most commonly used are (a) the traditional method of safety and (b) the methods and philosophies of quality in conjunction with safety. Safety professionals from companies adhering to the traditional method of

70 Petroleum Today

- February 2018

safety direct and control workers so that they complete the expected company safety standards and regulations. They also enforce laws and government regulations. They are informed on new regulations, devoted to impose rules and regulations to their employees, carry out inspections, audit the system, direct investigations of accidents and injuries, and establish recommendations in order to prevent accidents and injuries in the future (Alderman & Donegani, 1994, Sureshchandar et al., 2006).

Traditional safety management programs do not always improve the results of safety because they are centered exclusively on the technical requirements and on obtaining short-term results (Hoyle, 2007). Another shortcoming of the traditional safety management program is that the program is isolated and many times not integrated with the rest of the functions of an organization. The common elements of traditional safety programs include: safety director, safety committees, meetings relating to safety, list of rules pertaining to safety, posting of slogans, posters, and programs of safety incentives. The responsibility of the safety program falls on the safety director, who occupies a position inside the organization of the company and, in many cases, does not have the authority to make changes (Abernathy & Knode, 2001). A system that is centered on taking a proactive approach is more effective than the one that continually analyzes accidents after they happen in order to generate data on which to base improvements.

Prevention is based on established rules, regulations, and safety instructions, but the mere publication of those rules and regulations in a safety manual is not enough for their effective implementation. Only when all personnel work in accordance with the safety norms and the established instructions will the company have safe practices.

The 10 obligations of management, as previously defined, represent the way of leaving traditional safety management.

Under these new obligations within the company: Ó Progress is not measured by injury ratios. Ó Safety becomes a system, more than a program. Ó Statistical techniques drive the efforts of continuous improvement. Ó The investigation of accidents and injuries is renewed or is eliminated. Ó Technical principles and tools for the statistical control of the process are used. Ó Emphasis is placed on improving the system. Ó Benefits are provided for people that discover illegal situations. Ó The participation of workers in the resolution of problems and making decisions is formalized. Ó Ergonomic well-being is projected inside the place of work. Ó The traps within the system that cause human errors are eliminated (Sureshchandar et al., 2006).

The evolution of quality management was analyzed and the results showed that three stages exist: (a) quality control, (b) quality assurance, and (c) total quality. If the same analysis is carried out for the safety management system, three similar stages would be found: (a) safety control, (b) safety assurance or guarantee, and (c) total safety (Hoyle, 2007).

Lastly, Total Quality Management (TQM) caused a great deal of interest in the 1990s. TQM can be defined as a set of techniques and procedures used to reduce or eliminate variation from a production process or service-delivery system in order to improve efficiency, reliability, and quality (Hui & Pun, 2002). Many authors indicate that the TQM philosophy could improve the management of any area inside the company, and they lend special attention to the improvement of the safety management and to the improvement of environmental management (Alderman & Donegani, 1994). Herrero et al. (2002) analyzed the relationship between quality and safety in a company in Spain during the last 10 years. This study analyzed the information of a labor intensive, manufacturing company including: (a) the suggestions of improvement by employees, (b) the employee observations of safety, and (c) the results of safety practices. Elements of soft TQM are essentially dimensions of human resource management, like workforce commitment, training and so on, while hard elements relate to continuous improvement or treat organizations as total systems (BSI, 2013). Occupational health and safety standard OHSAS 18001 integrated with quality management system has gained considerable acceptance worldwide. Despite

this, very few studies have analyzed the integrated safety management in OHSAS 18001-certified organizations. The current study aims at: Measuring performance and current levels of safety management system in some petroleum companies; Providing an excellent description of the daily activities of the people responsible for safety and health management in the work place; Analyzing the safety climate in some petroleum companies, identify its dimensions, and propose the consequences of safety culture and employees, safety behavior; and Providing evidence about the factors that should be encouraged to reduce risks and improve integrated performance in these types of organizations.

Materials & Methods

Study design A cross sectional survey study was designed to determine employee performance and current status of total quality management system integrated with safety in some petroleum companies to provide evidence about the importance of certification and implementation of QHSE system at two categories; certified and noncertified, for management systems of quality, health, safety and environmental management systems (ISO 9001:2008, OHSAS18001:2007, ISO 14001:2004). Three different internal audits was performed to compare the nonconformity before and after implementation of QHSE management system at certified company.

Study setting The underlying research was conducted in Alexandria petroleum industrial sector of 17 companies. The total number of employees participated at the study was 510.

The study took place onsite of the participated companies, premises independently. The second part of the study was performed on one certified company from the selected ones.

Local ethical approval from authorized personnel in the company was obtained to conduct the study.

Study sample This study was carried out during the year2016, among 30 workers (randomly selected sample) from the seventeen selected companies. The purpose of the study was to measure employees, level of awareness for QHSE management system.

Data collection Measurement of employees, awareness for QHSE management system at Alexandria Petroleum sector was measured. An interview survey study comprising thirty workers was performed. Workers were chosen to be representative to different production units and were interviewed to verify the questionnaire that was predesigned, prepared and used in the underlying study. Workers involved in the study were interviewed with a pre-appointed schedule.

Study tools A predesigned questionnaire was implemented to investigate employees, levels of awareness on QHSE within the management system of occupational health and safety; OHSAS 18001, ISO 9001 &ISO 14001 were measured using a pre-designed questionnaire. Workplace audit checklist was pre-prepared. A modified pre-determined checklist was used for inspection of collected data for one-studied company. The checklist included the following data: work Areas, material manual handling, housekeeping, indoor environment, fire safety, first aid and safety, emergency procedures, electrical safety, hand tools, plant / machinery, PPE, storage areas, cleaning areas, and facilities.

Designing the questionnaire sheet A questionnaire sheet was pre-designed in «Arabic» language. Personal information was taken including name (optional), job title, degree of education, age, number of working years (experience), and date of assignment the questionnaire. The questionnaire was designed to measure employees ‹level of awareness for QHSE management.

Each question was measured on a 5-point scale to measure its validity (5=strongly agree; 4= agree; 3= to moderate; 2 = Disagree; 1= strongly disagree). The questionnaire consists of 114 questions included in 16 domains which are top management and leadership commitments; occupational health, safety and environmental responsibility; strategy and long-term planning; appreciation of roles and commitment of all organization members in activities aimed at OHS improvement; internal audit systems; measuring and monitoring; storage; work environment risks; OHS legislations; environmental legislations; emergency preparedness; and training.

Ethical clearance Approval to conduct the study in the selected companies was granted by the authorities through safety inspection. Local ethical approval to perform the current study was taken. All the inquiries from the authorities and questions about the nature, purpose and aim of the study were answered and cleared before carrying out the study. Following this, the supervisors of the selected work areas were contacted for data collection.

Statistical Analysis Analysis of data for questionnaire The data collected through the survey were revised, coded, analyzed and fed to statistical software SPSS Statistics version 20. The given graphs were constructed using Microsoft offices excel (2007 and 2016). The raw data from the items were used to calculate mean scores for each dimension and individual. Only answered items were used in the calculations. All answers for a dimension were excluded from the calculation if less than 50% of the items

72 Petroleum Today

- February 2018

in that dimension were answered. The mean scores for each dimension and individual were then used to calculate mean score for each dimension. The internal consistency of each of the 16 questionnaire dimensions was tested by calculating Cronbach›s alpha coefficients (coefficients of reliability).

The statistical test used was an independent samples t-test (two-tailed). A p-value (probability value) equal or less than 0.05 from the two-tailed t-test was considered statistically significant for tests. Non-significant p-value are referred to as NS (no significant). Regarding scoring systems, the discrete scores for each item within the domains was summed together to have the overall domain score.

Factor analysis is to identify a relatively small number of nonobservable, underlying factors that characterize underlying constructs e.g. management commitment to safety. These factors can then be used to represent relationships among many sets of inter-related perceptual questions about safety.

The identified factors simplify interpretation of these relationships by reducing the observed correlations into as few constructs as possible. An Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) evaluates the variables (i.e. survey questions) and determines which factor or construct (e.g. MC, WI, or SC) that defines them.

Analysis of data for the internal audit was performed using descriptive statistical analysis, which was used for comparison between the total nonconformities observed during the first audit before integration, the second audit after integration and the third audit after integration.

Results

The underlying study was conducted to investigate the employees, perception for safety management practices which are; management commitment, safety training, workers, involvement, safety communication and feedback, safety rules and procedures, and safety promotion policies, as well as self-reported safety behavior of employees in the some selected petroleum companies. The employees, perception was used to evaluate the system validity and reliability, identify the influence of integrated management system on the relationship between safety management and safety performance in major accident or hazardous chemicals, measure safety culture and employees, satisfaction within the specified organizations with conventional or integrated safety management system among 17 companies who accepted to participate in the study.

audit systems, measuring and monitoring, documentations, work environment risk, OHS regulations, objectives and programs, training, emergency preparedness, environmental regulations, integration, environmental communications) of employees, perception from the two categories companies; certified and noncertified. It was found that there were significant differences at P≤0.05 between the categorized data of employees› response in the selected elements of all domains, using Chi-square test. Negative response was higher among the non-certified companies compared to certified ones.

Factor analysis was performed to deduce the most effective factor on safety management. The correlation matrix (for factor analysis) of the sixteen investigated QHSE domains for the two petroleum categories; certified and noncertified revealed acceptable correlation as values exceeded 0.7 that clarifies that data have a good principle component structure.

A strong correlation was seen between domains (6) «Internal audit systems», and (11) «Objectives and programs»; domains (6) «Internal audit systems», and (8) «Storage».

From this cumulative analysis for the two categorize (certified and noncertified) together, domains are highly correlated emphasizing on domain 6) «Internal audit systems» to domain (11) «Objectives and programs». This implies that good and effective QHSE training for all the employees will raise their awareness and increase their competencies and consequently will be reflected on their work behavior and they will behave safely and finally will improve organization performance. A weak, but considered good, correlation was seen between domain (2) «Occupational health, safety and environmental responsibility», and (14) «Environmental regulations». The result argued that missing in employee›s awareness of legislations and regulations, this considered is a negative sign of management commitment. Kaiser-MeyerOlkin (KMO) was performed to measure the sampling adequacy. It compares the magnitude of the observed correlation coefficients to the magnitude of the partial correlation coefficients. The magnitude of KMO measure is close to 1 (0.931) indicating a sizeable sampling adequacy.

Reasonably large value revealed a good factor analysis.

Barlett test of sphericity to test the hypothesis that the factor analysis correlation matrix is an identity matrix (all diagonal terms are 1 and all off-diagonal terms are 0), indicating significant sphericity, and variations in QHSE domains for the two categories (certified and noncertified). Eigen values for verifying the factor analysis of principal components to decide on how many factors can affect and represent the data, with two statistical criteria: the determination of the number of factors is usually done by considering only factors with Eigen values greater than 1; and factors with a variance less than 1 are no better than a single variable, since

74 Petroleum Today

each variable is expected to have a variance of 1.

Factor analysis indicated that the «Documentations» was the most important QHSE domain from the employee› points of views. This was followed sequentially by variables of «Internal audit systems»; «Objectives and programs»; «Measuring and monitoring»; «Monitoring and continuous improvement of management processes»; «Appreciation of roles and commitment of all organization members in activities aimed at OHS improvement»; «Strategy and longterm planning»; «work environment risks»; «Emergency preparedness»; «Environmental communications»; «Training»; «Legislations and regulations»; «Top management and leadership commitments»; «Integration»; «OHSE responsibility»; and «Environmental regulations» which was the least QHSE domain for the non-certified companies test sample, as shown in Table 2.

Principal components analysis for QHSE domains from the point of view of workers of the certified companies indicated that the 1st principal component, which is the combination that accounts for the largest amount of variance in the sample (1st extracted factor), is the domain of «Integration» (0.996). The 2nd principle component accounts for the next largest amount of variance is uncorrelated with the first (2nd extracted factor) is the domain of «Monitoring and continuous improvement of management processes» (0.994). Successive components explain progressively smaller portions of the total sample variance, and all are uncorrelated with each other. The principal components analysis categorized questionnaire domains into factors successively as follows: «Internal audit systems»; «Measuring and monitoring»; «Objectives and programs»; «Documentations»; «Appreciation of roles and commitment of all organization members in activities aimed at OHS Improvement»; «work environment risk»; «Training»; «Legislations and regulations»; «Strategy and long-term planning»; «Environmental communications»; “Top management and leadership commitments”; “Emergency Preparedness”; “Environmental regulations”; and “OHSE responsibility”, as illustrated in Table 3.

Results of factor analysis revealed that the principal components that play important role in driving safety management system in certified companies differ from uncertified ones, emphasizing the important role of certification of the management system.

Comparison of non-conformities through internal audit before and after QHSE system

The second part of the study was performed in a certified company that accepted to participate in the study for internal audit stages before and after implementation of QHSE. The 1st audit was performed before implementation

of QHSE management system, 2nd audit after 6 months of implementation and the 3rd audit was after one year of implementation. The results show analysis and comparison between the observed non-conformities among the different departments of the company during the three audit stages.

Figure 1 shows the results of internal audit on one of the certified company. Before implementing QHSE system, the audit on 14 departments of the company; Maintenance, Human resources, Competence, Training, Electrical Maintenance, Maintenance Automatic Control, Inspection engineer, Project execution, Contracts & procurements, Management information System, Production planning, Operation, Utilities unit, Traffic, HSE, Quality Control. The total non-conformities found on this audit were 429, which were corrected by 80.9% during the follow up, and 19.1% were not corrected. After 6 months of implementing QHSE system, the audit on 14 department of the company revealed total non-conformities of 245 that were corrected by 75.1% during the follow up, and 24.9% were not corrected.

After 12 months of implementing QHSE system, the audit on 14 department of the company revealed total nonconformities of 145 that were corrected by 62.76% during the follow up, and 37.24% were not corrected. The results reflect the role of implementing QHSE management system in improving performance of organizations.

Discussion

Many authors defend the idea that the concepts of TQM can be applied to the practices of safety and health (Herrero et al., 2002, Abernathy & Knode, 2001, Wilkinson & Dale, 2001, Winder, 2000). The basic principles of TQM provide an excellent description of the daily activities of the people responsible for safety and health management in the work place (Herrero et al., 2002; Hansen, 2006; Domingues et al., 2012; Shrivastava & Gorantiwar, 2014; Aquilani et al., 2017). Experts in quality have developed the concept of Total Quality in their studies. In general the principles of quality endorsed by the authors are: (a) the organizational commitment; (b) the culture; (c) the formation; (d) the continuous improvement; (e) the satisfaction of the client; and (f) the use of systems of measuring and communication.

Roughton (1993) expressed the necessity of applying these principles in safety management: Organizational commitment, Top management should involve both the processes of improvement of quality and of safety, and should act as the leader. The processes of improvement should integrate daily activities; Culture, The organization should understand that quality and safety operate as one. The problems of quality and of safety should be tried not only for top management but also for supervisors and workers. The identification of problems should be seen as an opportunity

to improve, instead of using it to accuse a worker or a workers, group; Formation, Formation is important because it provides an understanding and a common language for all the workers. The formation in relation to quality and safety should incorporate the knowledge of basic tools like those of resolution of problems, the diagrams of cause-effect, the data collection, and statistical principles; Continuous improvement, Quality management and safety should center on the continuous improvement of all the parts of the organization; Satisfaction of the client, Identify the necessities of the client, measure and control their satisfaction, and develop a system of managing complaints or reclamations; Systems of measuring, It is necessary to develop a system of measuring and identifying areas where opportunities exist for improvements; Communication, Communication is the key to the relationship between top management and workers. The system could be damaged if the communications are unusual. The improvements of quality and of safety proposals for the operatives should be recognized (Roughton, 1993).

Some of the principles proposed by Manuele (1994) indicated that one could substitute the word «safety» for «quality»: Quality begins with top management; The important improvements in quality require a change in the managerial culture; The long-term commitment of top management is necessary for improvements of quality. As previously indicated, two types of indicators are key for the measure of system quality, on one hand the practices, behaviors, and insecure conditions, and on the other hand the measurements of actions carried out by top management that affect positively the system of safety (Herrero et al., 2002).

Through implementation of the processes of improvement, the responsibility of management and the participation of workers should be integrated through the extensive use of committees and quality groups. The practical application of this to safety is the creation of teams of safe work. One of the better descriptions of the TQM is captured in the 14 obligation management by Deming (1984): Concentrate on the long-term objectives in order to develop a system of world quality; Discard the old philosophy of accepting accidents and injuries; Use statistical techniques to identify the two sources of accidents and injuries (the system and the human error); Institutionalize more training; Eliminate the dependence on the investigation of accidents and injuries; In their place use such methods as checking behavior, cause-effect diagrams, flow charts, and so forth in order to demonstrate the defects of the system and achieve a continuous improvement of the system; Provide supervisors (and employees) with training about using statistical tools and assure that those tools are used in order to identify areas that need additional studies and corrective actions; Reduce fear by encouraging the workers to

identify the defects of the system and help them find solutions; Reduce accidents and injuries by designing safety within the process; Use engineering concepts in all aspects of safety; Eliminate the use of slogans, incentives, and posters; Examine the standard of work in order to eliminate the traps of accidents and injuries (Deming, 1984). Other aspects of total quality are also valuable. In fact, measurements that follow are necessary in safety: Ask employees to define and solve the problems of the company and identify the weakness of the system; Provide workers with simple tools to solve problems; Replace the statistics based on accidents and injuries reported; Replace the statistics based on perceptions of the workers through surveys and interviews (Herrero et al., 2002).

Petersen (1994) underlined the idea of negotiating safety using the philosophies of TQM, and comments that one could get, by means of the participation of workers, the

creation of a new culture where safety is perceived as a key value, where statistical tools are used to solve problems, where continuous improvements are emphasized, and where indicators are used to measure the quality of the system and not the quality of the results.

Conclusion

Integrating OHS and TQM definitely can increase the productivity and saves time and costs as it prevents duplicated efforts. TQM activities can support effectively employee participation, continuous improvements, risk management and hazard analysis studies as well as total safety management. The role of TQM in creating successful management system and decreasing gaps in organizations should be further encouraged.

SUBSEA MEASURING/VIEWER TECHNOLOGIES In the oil industry it is always challenging to visualize a structure or pipeline section with precise as built dimensions due to the limited visibility underwater and the limited accuracy of underwater positioning.

There are number of possible metrology methods including: manual or digital taut wire, inertial measurement, photogrammetry, scanning 3D Sonar and lately the 3D Subsea Laser Metrology systems, which has several technical and safety/environmental reservations which negatively affect their durability and utilization such as: • Laser can only operate efficiently when the device is static in a fixed position, but when required access from different locations or angles for long distances or complicated objects, then it becomes limited in both operation and accuracy in addition to the safety and environmental hazard.

Photo Realistic 3D Cloud (PRC) is a cutting edge innovative technology to scan complete structures and pipeline sections underwater to create a 3D Cloud of billions of points presenting the as-built of any scanned object.

• How it works and related technology: PRC is made up of a series of points in 3D space, defined in X, Y & Z coordinates representing the surface of a target object and its surroundings. Distance, size and angle of the target are all measured from 3D cloud of points.

• How does the cloud of points work: There is a relation in relative coordination between a 3D object and the 2D image taken for this object called “Physical Camera Model”, these physical and mathematical models accurately simulate what happens into a camera during the shooting process. Therefore; the 3D PRC s/w reverse the process to create an accurate 3D model presentation of the object from using multiple images taken to this object.

• Scaling and measuring items: the 3D model presentation of the scanned scene is to scale.

The user can easily visualize from the 3D cloud of points where to measure and simply select and measure.

• Final report Delivery Dependant on the area scanned, ex: 50m spooler with 3m visibility will take 3 hours.

From the 3D Cloud, a 3D CAD model can be generated.

Fig.1 (Spool Metrology Cloud Model)

Advantages: • Reducing time and cost on all subsea inspection, survey and installation work when accurate measurement and dimensional data is required.

• Clear, precise measurements for pipeline curvature, free span and crossing clearance.

• Provides 3D visualization for structures with a high degree of accuracy.

• Speed of data processing into a usable format.

• Can be done using ROV, Divers.

• Environmentally friendly.

Fig.2 (Crossing Survey)

Applications: • Pipeline tie-in spool measurements.

• Subsea installation support.

• Subsea decommissioning survey.

• Mooring chain inspection.

• Riser and umbilical inspection.

• Free span survey.

• Out of Straightness survey for lateral/vertical measurements.

• FPSO hull and flexible riser’s inspection.

• Seabed surveys.

Data Management systems Introduction A common mistake that some people believe that data management systems are a typical copy of maintenance or ERP (Enterprise Resources and Planning) systems. However, such an idea is very un-true, as there are core differences between them, although there are some similarities, as the ERP and maintenance modules are already included as a partof any AIM system.

Main Features Data Management, such a feature consolidates all Company’s assets data (pipelines, platforms, subsea structures, etc.) from the conceptual engineering up to installation and operation. phase into one centralized data base allowing the Company to have a full access to their assets data and its current condition, efficient handling of information, planning and reporting.

Asset Registry, a detailed Master Asset Register is developed for all Company’s assets identifying unique ID number per each asset. Each asset is linked to its geographic location, having its full details such as name, headings (from/to), PI&D reference, diameter size, lengths, pressure rating, etc.

Fig.1 (Comparison between Maintenance Mgmt. systems and Asset Mgmt. systems)

MCS Asset Integrity Data management system (AIDM) is a live example of the tailored made solution built and designed to cover all the client’s requirements and needs in a simple, unified user friendly interface with a geographical representation for all client’s assets; enabling client to view risks, analysis, planning and follow up activities.

MCS AIDM can be expanded to interface with the client’s existing systems to retrieve any required data from different departments.

AIDM has been successfully implemented for more than oneoperator in Egypt, Gulf Regions, and South East Asia, to consolidate all the asset life cycle stages from concept, engineering and design, construction, operation, inspection and finally maintenance.

Risk Based Assessment (RBI), different types of assets have different risk factors and regulatory requirements, so the scope, frequency and inspections are tailored based on its type, age, international industry standards, design parameter, etc. of each asset. This facilitates defining the scope of work by consolidating all information and documents related to each asset and required by Company AIM team to define inspection SOW based on the RBI. Inspection Findings and Anomaly register – Traffic light system, a comprehanisve risk register incorporating a traffic light system, shall be developed and customized in order to represent all deviations from the design codes, internatioal industrial standards as per Company’s AIM team assessment/ recoomendation, as identified during inspections. The system has the ability to build up a customized anomaly management procedure with standard definitions and categorizations to allow the AIM team to analyze, trend and prepare action plans.

Electronic Library, provides access to all the assets data such as drawings, certificates, design, inspection plans, maintenance plans etc. in one centralized database.

The theme for the MOC 2018 Conference “Mediterranean Potentials – Unlocked Step 2” is highly relevant given the status of the explorations in the Mediterranean. Producers, consumers, transit countries and oil companies all have a significant role to play.

With a growing population and the aspirations for economic growth all over the world it is expected that the global demand for energy will double by 2050. The Mediterranean basin is considered a world-class energy source with huge hydrocarbon potential and Egypt has a significant role to play in

the Mediterranean energy industry.

The Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum is collaborating with the world’s leading energy companies on reducing costs and emissions while securing the stable and safe productions of natural energy resources. MOC in Alexandria will provide companies the opportunity to network, seal new deals and build partnerships in the North Africa’s competitive business environment.
