Description

SERVICE FLUID OF THE HYDROCARBON INDUSTRY AND METHODS TO CARRY OUT THE SERVICE OPERATIONS FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a service fluid of the hydrocarbon industry and methods for carrying out service operations. The invention also relates to an irradiation system and methods for the treatment of fluids in the applications of the hydrocarbon industry. In general, the invention relates to the use of irradiation, such as ultraviolet light to disinfect fluids, including water. More particularly, the present invention relates to applications of the hydrocarbon industry where irradiation can be used to disinfect fluids, instead of treating them with chemical biocides or using fluids without treatment.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In applications of the hydrocarbon industry, such as pre-commissioning procedures for offshore oil pipelines and well fracturing operations, service fluids including seawater and freshwater may not be treated or treated. can be presented as biologically inert when treating the fluids using chemical biocides. In pipeline applications below the sea surface, a water-based service fluid can be used to flood the pipeline during installation or to hydrostatic flooding and testing of the pipeline once installed. During the installation, the pipeline is placed on the seabed and flooded with sea water or, in the case of alloy pipelines, fresh water. Once the pipeline is flooded, underwater connections can be made. In particular, divers or remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) physically open the pipeline and connect it to the head of the well, the underwater template, or vertical pipe system, for example. When making underwater connections for an alloy pipeline, it is not advisable for seawater to contact the internal surfaces of the pipeline because the seawater can corrode the pipeline. Therefore, the alloy pipeline is flooded with fresh water which includes a block of gelled water at each end. As such, when the end of the pipeline is opened for underwater connections, the gel barrier prevents seawater from entering the pipeline and mixing with fresh water. After all submarine connections are made, additional water is pumped into the pipeline to test, so hydrostatic, the structural integrity of the pipeline and any of the connected components. Once the installation and testing are completed, the water contained within the pipeline is displaced and, in some cases, discarded to the sea. At any point where water has been introduced into the pipeline, either in the flood stage or in the hydrostatic test stage, this water is usually filtered and treated with a chemical biocide to disinfect it. The objective of such treatment is to prevent the biological growth and bacteria that can cause damage to the internal surface of the pipeline. However, due to laws and legal provisions, seawater used for hydrostatic testing at a number of locations, such as the Gulf of Mexico, can not be discarded at sea if it contains any chemical biocide. Therefore, untreated seawater is used, which allows organic growth in the pipeline that can tighten or corrode the pipeline. This can have a detrimental effect on the available flow rates of the oil pipeline once in service. Although the discharge of water containing chemical biocides is still allowed in other parts of the world, many countries are beginning to follow the Gulf of Mexico guidelines by prohibiting the discharge of water treated with chemical biocide to the sea because such discharge can damage marine life. Thus, there is a need for a fluid treatment method that meets environmental requirements and is not harmful to marine life should it be discharged into the ocean. Chemical biocides are also used during pre-commissioning procedures for oil pipelines installed on land. Disposal of water containing chemical biocides on land is also prohibited in some environmentally sensitive regions of the United States. In regions where prohibitions do not exist, the disposal of water containing chemical biocides is not convenient yet because it can damage wildlife and contaminate the water in the subsoil. Therefore, there is a need for an environmentally suitable alternative method to disinfect fluids. Fluids treated with chemical biocides are also used in well-service operations, such as fracturing a formation, for example. These operations are usually carried out in remote locations where water is scarce and must be transported to the well site, which is expensive. Typically, the water is filtered and treated with chemical biocides to prevent bacterial growth during the transportation and / or storage. In a fracturing application, a gelling agent and other components are added to the water before injection into the volume well. However, the gel can act as a food source for any bacteria present in the fluid. In this way, in case the bacteria is present in the base water, this will finally destroy the gel and will negatively impact the fracturing operation. Therefore, water is usually disinfected with chemical biocides before its use in the fracturing operation. Once the fracturing operation is complete, the return fluid recovered from the volume well can be stored in tanks made by men or in lined pits; however, it is not discarded to the ground due to chemical biocides. This return fluid containing chemical biocides is not usually remediated for reuse or disposal because said remediation of the fluid that uses chemical treatments, for example, is prohibitive in cost. Instead, the return fluid is usually removed from the well site for proper disposal and treatment. Specifically, proper disposal of fluids containing chemical biocides requires the removal of the biocide before the fluid can be returned to the environment.

Due to the scarcity of water in many remote locations, and the cost related to the transportation of water to and from these well sites, it would be beneficial if the formation fluid produced from the well could be used, or could be reused. the return fluid followed by a service operation. However, treatment of the formation fluid and the return fluid to remove bacteria is necessary for the success of many operations, such as fracturing. Therefore, there is a need for an effective cost method to disinfect the fluid produced and the return fluid for re-use in a well-drilled service operation, or for disposal to the environment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE MODALITIES Various embodiments of apparatuses and methods for treating a fluid for use in hydrocarbon industry applications will now be described with reference to the appended Figures, in which similar reference numerals are used for similar characteristics throughout. the different scenarios. These are shown in the Figures, and will be described in detail in the present document, specific modalities of irradiation systems and methods for the use of said systems to disinfect fluids, with the understanding that this description is only representative and does not intend to limit the invention to the embodiments illustrated and described herein. The methods of treatment of fluids and irradiation systems described herein can be used in any type of process, operation or application of the hydrocarbon industry where want to disinfect fluids that include, but are not limited to, pipeline operations; well service operations, upstream exploration and production applications; and applications of transportation, storage, processing and purification of downstream. It should be fully recognized that the different teachings of the modalities presented here can be used separately or in any suitable combination to produce the desired results. Figure 1 depicts, schematically, a representative operation of pipeline 100 using an irradiation system 110, such as an ultraviolet light treatment apparatus for presenting the biologically inert fluid 120. The fluid 120 may be sea water, fresh water, or other fluid and, preferably, comes from a readily available source, such as a river or the ocean. In one embodiment, the pipeline operation 100 comprises a suction pump 150, an irradiation system 110, filters 130, an oil pipeline filling pump 160, and an oil pipeline 140. The filters 130 may comprise any type of filtering apparatus for removing particles of the fluid 120, such as an ankle-type filter in which the fluid 120 flows through the interleaved filtration sheet collecting the particles or any other filter as described here. The suction pump 150 and the pipeline filling pump 160 can be any type of pump suitable for moving the fluid 120 through the irradiation system 110, filters 130 and pipeline 140. The pipeline 140 can be constructed of carbon steel, a alloy, or any other material suitable for the operation for the commissioning of the pipeline 100. The pumps 150,160, the irradiation system 110, and the filters 130 can be packed with other flow equipment and regulation instrumentation and mounted on a skate. , therefore makes the entire device portable. In one embodiment, the equipment mounted on the skate is electrically energized and can be operated by the use of generators in remote locations. The suction pump 150, as represented by flow arrows, transports the fluid 120 through the filters 130, on the line 180, and then in the irradiation system 110, where the filtered fluid is disinfected. The purpose of disinfection is to kill the micro-organisms in the fluid 120. In one embodiment, the irradiation system 110 comprises an ultraviolet light apparatus, such as a UV disinfection system available from HOH Water Technology A / S of Denmark, for example. Irradiation system 110 causes the deactivation of micro-organisms, therefore effectively disinfecting the fluid 120. In one embodiment, the filters 130 remove a significant amount of waste and biological material from the upstream of the fluid 120 of the irradiation system 110, so Therefore, it allows the treatment process. In particular, the ultraviolet light source within the irradiation system 110 must penetrate through a filtered fluid more effectively than through a waste loading fluid., and some countercurrent removal of biological material from the irradiation system 110 must allow for the efficiency of the irradiation treatment. In contrast to untreated fluids, such as water, the irradiated fluids do not corrode the wall of the pipeline 140 so easily. In addition, compared to the use of chemical biocides, irradiation disinfection is more cost effective and also produces a fluid of environmental security for waste in the environment. After the output of the irradiation system 110, the irradiated and filtered fluid in the line 185 is then transferred by the pipeline filling pump 160 through the line 190 and in the pipeline 140 for use in pipeline operations, such as the testing and filling procedures, for example. Once the pipeline operations are complete, the fluid is discharged from the pipeline 140 through the line 195 where the fluid can be discarded to the environment 170 without damage to it. One skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the representative operation of the pipeline 100 of Figure 1 can be performed on land or under the sea surface, and can include different components than those shown in Figure 1. The operation of the pipeline 100 can involve the previous commissioning of the pipeline 140, such as during installation and testing, or subsequent commissioning operations, such as the repair or replacement procedure. Although Figure 1 shows that the fluid 120 passes first through the filters 130 and then through the irradiation system 110, the relative position of these treatment devices can be reversed. For example, fluid 120 may be first irradiated and then filtered. In another application of the hydrocarbon industry, the irradiation apparatus 110 can be used to remediate the fluid produced, which includes the formation fluid or return fluid produced during the fracturing of the well or other service operations. Said remediated fluid can be reused as a well-volume well service fluid, or it can be discarded into the environment. While the Following analyzes of Figure 2 and Figure 3 focus on well fracturing, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be used to treat water for use in any well-volume well service fluid, or to treat said fluids themselves. when they need disinfection. Figure 2 depicts, schematically, a representative well-volume service operation 200 using the irradiation apparatus 110 to disinfect or remediate the supplied fluid from a readily available source as an alternative to using transported water treated with chemical biocides. The water 210 from a readily available source may be fresh water, sea water, or forming water. The formation water includes water produced from a well in the place, which may be the same or different from the one that is served. In one embodiment, this water 210 could even comprise transported water that has not been treated with chemical biocides. The volume well service operation 200 comprises a suction pump 150, filters 230, the irradiation apparatus 110, a valve 260, storage 290 for gel and other components of fracturing fluids, an injection pump 295, a service pump 285 , and a volume well 280 within which a service operation has been performed, such as fracturing, for example.

The filters 230 may comprise a variety of different types of filters, depending on the requirements of the operation, including ankle-type filters, boron removal filters, micronic particle filters, activated carbon filters, and / or other type of filter. to make the fluid 120 suitable for a well fracturing operation. In one embodiment, filters 230 comprise the filtration system depicted and described 'in U.S. Patent Application Serial Nos. 11 / 062,963 and 11 / 063,307, both filed on February 22, 2005, and both entitled "Devices and Processes. for the Removal of Impurities from a Fluid Recovered from an Underground Environment ", assigned to Halliburton Energy Services, Inc., also the agent of the present application. Pumps 150, 285 and 295 can be any type of pump suitable for moving fluid 210. Valve 260 can be of any type operable to direct fluid flow and be compatible with fluids in the well-volumetric service operation 200. As in the operations of the pipeline 100 shown in Figure 1, the pumps 150, 285, 295; the filters 230; the irradiation apparatus 110; and valve 260 can be packaged with the connecting duct and other instrumentation and flow regulation equipment and mounted on a skid making, therefore, that the complete apparatus be portable. In one embodiment, the equipment mounted on the skate is electrically energized and can be operated by the use of generators in remote locations. As depicted, the water 210 from a readily available source is transported through the filters 230 by the suction pump 150. The filtered water in the line 240 then passes through the irradiation apparatus 110, where it is disinfected. The irradiated and filtered fluid in line 250 then passes through a valve 260 where it can be diverted into a re-treatment line 255 or continue through line 265 for the fracturing operation in the volume well 280. filtered and irradiated fluid in line 265 is injected with gel and other components of storage fracturing fluid 290 by injection pump 295, which results in an inlet line of fracturing fluid 270. Service pump 285 then injects the fracturing fluid from line 270 in the volume well 280 to direct the fracturing operation. It should be understood that other service fluids may be made in a similar manner, and the additives injected by the pump 295 may be selected accordingly. Because water is usually scarce in remote locations of well sites, it may also be desirable to reuse the return water produced by the fracturing the well or other service operation. Figure 3 depicts, schematically, a representative remediation operation 300 using the irradiation apparatus 110 to disinfect the return fluid with the option to reuse the remediated fluid or discard it. The remediation operation 300 comprises a suction pump 150, filters 230, an irradiation apparatus 110, a first valve 380, a storage tank 310, a second valve 330, an injection pump 295, storage 290 for gel and other components of fracturing fluid, and a service pump 285. The filters 230 may be of the same type, or of a different type, as those used in the operation of the pipeline 100 or the service operation of the well 200 shown in Figures 1 and 2, respectively. Storage tank 310 can be replaced by a coated pit or other fluid storage tank. The pumps 150, 285 and 295 may be of any type suitable for moving fluid and compatible with fluids in remediation operation 300. Valves 330 and 380 may be any type of valve used to direct fluid flow and compatible with fluids in remediation operation 300. Once again, all or some of the components shown in Figure 3 can be packaged with other instrumentation or flow regulation equipment and mounted on a skate, the equipment mounted on the skate is electrically energized, and can be operated through the use of generators in remote locations. When the fracturing operation is directed in the volume well 280, the return fluid 370 is produced and comprises a mixture of forming fluid and fracturing fluid. The return fluid 370 is withdrawn from the volume well 280 and transported through the filters 230 by the suction pump 150. The line filtered fluid 240 then passes through the irradiation apparatus 110, where it is disinfected. The filtered and irradiated fluid on line 250 is then diverted by valve 380 to storage tank 310 via line 390 or to a second valve 330 via line 360. The fluid stored in tank 310 may subsequently be circulated through the re-treatment line 320 and through the irradiation apparatus 110. The diverted fluid in line 360 is directed to valve 330, where the filtered and irradiated fluid can be diverted through line 340 for disposal to environment 350 or through the return line 265 for re-use in the fracturing operation. Alternatively, instead of reusing the filtered and irradiated fluid in the same place in the well, the fluid can be transported by truck or transported by other means to re- use in a remote place of the well. In case it is diverted through line 340 for disposal, the filtered and irradiated fluid will be tested to ensure that it is environmentally safe before it is released into environment 350, which can be a source of water, for example, river or lake; a surface of earth; or injected into a waste pit. In case it is diverted through the return line 265 for reuse, the gel and other components of the storage fracturing fluid 290 can be added to the irradiated fluid and filtered on line 265 by the injection pump 295 for produce the fracturing fluid in line 270. The fracturing fluid is then injected by the service pump 285 to direct the fracturing operation in the volume well 280. In this way, where fluids treated with chemical biocides or fluids do not previously treated may have been used in an application of the hydrocarbon industry, such as the previous commissioning of the pipeline or the fracturing of the well, for example, an irradiated service fluid may be used instead. The irradiation can be carried out using a portable system comprising an irradiation apparatus 110. These portable systems can also be used in places where the Fluids must be disinfected; however, the use of fluids treated with chemical biocides is prohibited, either due to environmental conditions or at cost or both. Therefore, the irradiation apparatus can be sent to the location of any type of application of the hydrocarbon industry where it is advisable to disinfect the fluid. The above descriptions of the specific embodiments of the applications and systems of the hydrocarbon industry using an irradiation apparatus for disinfecting fluids have been presented for purposes of illustration and description and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms described. Obviously, many other modifications and variations of these applications and systems of the hydrocarbon industry are possible. In particular, the position of the irradiation system 110 may vary. For example, the irradiation could be carried out before the fluid enters the filtration stage, or the fluid may not require filtration at all. Also, the treatment of ultraviolet light can be carried out more than once, if necessary, with the use of additional conduits. Systems 100, 200, 300 could be arranged differently, and have more or fewer components.

In addition, other applications of the hydrocarbon industry are possible. In particular, one skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the fluid treatment systems described herein are equally suitable for disinfecting service fluids, or their components, for use in applications such as processing and purification vessels, reactors and pipelines.; pipelines and production platform containers; storage applications that include ground-based storage tanks and tanks provided in flotation production storage and off-loading facilities; and pipelines transportation facilities and stations, as well as other requests. Said disinfected service fluids can be used for a variety of purposes, such as extracting the product by water jet and / or cleaning hydrocarbons from the walls of a container or pipeline, keeping a container or pipeline after cleaning, or filling a storage tank, for example. While various modalities of hydrocarbon industry applications that use irradiation to disinfect fluids, as a substitute for fluids treated with chemical biocides, or untreated fluids, have been shown and described here, an expert in the art it can make modifications without departing from the spirit and teachings of the invention.
