Opportunities in Heavy Oil Fields
==> picture [247 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
According to the US Geological Survey, the world's current heavy oil reserve estimates total approximately 1.1 trillion barrels of oil. The Western Hemisphere has about 70% of this resource's technically recoverable reserves.

The Technology
==> picture [247 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
HCD Multi-Flow[TM] , is a small, specially engineered carbon-based molecule that disaggregates & reliquefies the large agglomerations of waxes and asphaltenes naturally occurring in waxy and heavy crude oils. The product:
-
Lowers the pour point of paraffinic crudes
-
Lowers the viscosity of heavy crude oils, allowing easy transportation
-
Lowers the amount of heat required to mobilise heavy crude oils
-
Lowers pipeline and production equipment corrosion rates
-
Breaks oil and water emulsions, reducing BS&W levels
-
Increases production rates by reliquefying paraffin in the reservoir
-
It provides a clean and green, cost-effective solution to the production, transport, storage and refining of heavy oils

Applications and Benefits
==> picture [247 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
Key product applications and their benefits:
-
Ensures successful and economic flow in onshore/offshore pipeline and oil gathering lines that transport heavy or paraffinic crudes
-
Increases oil production and recovery rates and thus economics in both onshore and offshore wells in fields producing heavy or paraffinic crudes
-
HCD Multi-Flow[TM] reduces the need for costly workovers and chemical or heat treatments to remove paraffin or asphaltene deposition on production tubulars & oil flowlines
-
Enables efficient clean-up, oil recovery and water & sediment separation of tank bottom sludge in oil tank batteries offshore/onshore. HCD Tank Clean separates oil, water & sediment without the need for human intervention in tank cleaning
-
HCD Multi-Flow[TM] also improves crude quality in all applications by lifting the API Specific Gravity and separating water by breaking water-in-oil emulsions, resulting in a higher price for the crude at the point of sale

==> picture [139 x 88] intentionally omitted <==
Superior Technology
==> picture [247 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
HCD Multi-Flow[TM] , is a more efficient product based on superior technology. It is clean, green, non-toxic and significantly cheaper than rival products:
-
It is less harmful than toxic solvents (Benzene-Toluene-Xylene) for clearing blockages in pipelines & well bores caused by paraffin/asphaltene
-
It is more efficient than polymer chemistries for stopping wax crystallization of the crude oil by interrupting the molecular attraction that causes wax to crystallise whereas polymers only slow down, but do not stop, this process
-
It is much more cost effective than using heat treatments to keep the crude oil in a liquid (flowable) phase in cold environment conditions
-
It replaces six traditional additives to treat paraffin and asphaltene with only one versatile product, making it operationally very simple and significantly less expensive for overall system treatments as well as being environmentally safe

Success To Date: Puteri Platform
==> picture [247 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
Puteri platform is part of a $2bn offshore Malaysian development owned by Petronas that included a US$400m pipeline. The field is estimated to have produced up to 17,000 bod.
Due to Paraffin and asphaltene build-up in both the well bore and the pipeline, production had reduced to ~1,000 bod before the field was then shut-in in 2009.
In 2012 the production re-commenced using HCD Multiflow and was returned to production at an estimated rate of 12,000 bod. HCD product was continuously used for 4.5 years.

-
Pour point reduced from 41[0] C to 32[0] C that enabled the platform to resume production and resume flow through the pipeline at ~12,000 BOPD
-
HCD Multi-Flow™solution cost average US$0.34/bbl versus competitor’s solution average of US$4-7/bbl
-
Facilitated restart of Puteri and hence restoration of value to the US$400M pipeline and $2bn field
-
Reduction of maintenance on platform heat exchangers
-
Oil discounts associated with BS&W eliminated generating ~US$7m extra revenue /month for Petronas
-
Pour point was also reduced in the neighbouring Abu Alpha Field from 36[0] C to 14[0] C

Successes To Date: Western Canada
==> picture [247 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
-
HCD treatment increased daily oil production in 4 wells, increases varied from 64-240%
-
The production increase was largely sustained for 240 days of monitoring after the treatment
-
No asphaltene or paraffin built up in the flowlines for at least 6 months after the treatment. The flowlines normally required pigging every month

Successes To Date: Syria, SPC Souedie Field
==> picture [247 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [358 x 353] intentionally omitted <==
Problem:
-
Cold ambient temperatures at surface and high pour point waxy & asphaltenic crudes caused gathering lines and pipeline failures in Souedie Field, Syria
-
Oil production was seriously curtailed because wax/asphaltene blocked the lines in winter. The wells had to be shut-in and damaged sections of gathering lines and pipelines had to be replaced in the Spring each year
Solution & Benefits:
-
HCD product was injected into gathering lines, liquefying the wax deposition and PP (by as much as 53[0] C) ensuring continuous well production & crude flow
-
API gravity of treated crude was uplifted from 11[0] to 15.2[0]

Successes To Date: New Mexico
==> picture [247 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
-
HCD EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery) treatment increased average daily oil production in 5 wells from 6-310%
-
Total average incremental barrels of oil produced from one treatment was 45 barrels of oil/day
-
Increased gas production from 367 mcf/day to 502.6 mcf/day (37%)
-
Substantial increase in daily revenue. At current oil ($US50) and gas ($3.3/mcf) prices the increased revenue is $US2,697 per day

Trials Underway – Example 1
==> picture [247 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
-
Down-hole and pipeline injection of HCD Multi-Flow[TM] is currently being tested in a major onshore oilfield that comprises ~400 wells and a 600km pipeline
-
Because of wax deposition, the pipeline, which has a capacity of 175,000 BOPD, has to be heated to 65[0] C, and the downhole well pumps have to be manually cleaned at surface from 2 to 4 times/month resulting in lost revenue from 5 to 7 days/well/month
-
Injection of HCD Multi-Flow[TM] is designed to lower the pour point of the crude delivered to the pipeline to reduce heating costs and arrest wax deposition in the wellbores
-
Injection of HCD Multi-Flow[TM] into two test wells completely eliminated wax deposition and after one month the pumps were still performing at 100% efficiency
-
After only 2 days of continuous HCD Multi-Flow[TM] injection into the pipeline heat exchanger, the temperature dropped from 65[0] C to 55[0] C. This represents a saving of $5/barrel as every 1[0] C drop in temperature, the operator saves $0.50 per barrel
-
The pipeline has a throughput capacity of 175,000 BOPD, which at a savings of $5/per barrel/day is $875,000/day or $320m/year
17
==> picture [139 x 88] intentionally omitted <==
Opportunities for Future Applications
==> picture [247 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
The opportunities for future applications of HCD Multi-Flow[TM] are enormous because the technology is directly applicable and beneficial to any area or business involved with the production, handling, storage or transport and refining of waxy or heavy crude oil.
In summary, potential applications include:
-
Production in heavy and extra heavy crude oil fields
-
Production in paraffinic crude oil fields
-
Production in tar sands
-
Treating pipelines that transport heavy or paraffinic crude oils
-
Treating tanks that store heavy or paraffinic oils
-
Treating refinery feedstock by reducing corrosive BS&W levels
