Method of consolidation of oil bearing sands

Abstract: Wells drilled in poorly consolidated sand formations can be consolidated by heating a portion of the crude oil in situ in the bottom of the well so as to drive off the lighter ends leaving the heavy ends and asphaltenes at the bottom of the well. If additional pressure is then added at the top of the well, the heated fraction is forced into the surrounding cooler formations where it condenses and cools forming a semi-solid material tending to restrain sand from being produced upon further production of the well. The heated fluids will flow into any channels formed in the sand by said production. Continued application of pressure will cause flow channels to be formed in the cooling heavy portion by the light ends, ensuring permeability of the structure.

Zeolite ZSM-57

Abstract: This invention relates to a synthetic porous zeolite, identified as ZSM-57, a method for its preparation. This crystalline material may have a ratio of XO 2 :Y 2 O 3 of at least 4, wherein X represents silicon and/or germanium and Y represents aluminum, boron, chromium, iron and/or gallium. The silica/alumina form of this crystalline material has a silica to alumina ratio of at least 4 and may be prepared with directing agents which are N,N,N,N',N',N'-hexaethylpentane-diammonium compounds. The crystalline material exhibits a characteristic X-ray diffraction pattern.

Apparatus for multi-stage fast fluidized bed regeneration of catalyst

Abstract: A process and apparatus for achieving turbulent or fast fluidized bed regeneration of spent FCC catalyst in a bubbling bed regenerator having a stripper mounted over the regenerator and a stripped catalyst standpipe within the regenerator. A coke combustor vessel, which may be partially or totally open to the dilute phase above the bubbling bed, is added to the existing regenerator vessel Spent catalyst is discharged into the coke combustor, regenerated in a turbulent or fast fluidized bed, then discharged into the dilute phase region above the bubbling bed, either via a deflector or by simply overflowing the combustor. Regeneration of catalyst is completed in the bubbling dense bed, and/or an annular fast fluidized bed surrounding the coke combustor. Catalyst may be recycled from the dense bed to the coke combustor either by a flow line, or by adjusting relative heights of bubbling to fast fluidized bed. Staged regeneration increases coke burning capacity of the regenerator, reduces NOx emissions, and reduces catalyst deactivation.

Multi component catalyst and a process for catalytic cracking of heavy hydrocarbon feed to lighter products

Abstract: A catalytic cracking catalyst mixture and process are disclosed. The mixture comprises (a) a cracking catalyst containing a matrix and a large pore molecular sieve and (b) separate additive catalysts comprising at least one of a shape selective paraffin cracking/isomerization zeolite and a shape selective aliphatic aromatization zeolite. An exemplary catalyst mixture comprises dealuminized zeolite Y, optionally containing rare earth elements in an alumina-rich matrix, an additive catalyst of HZSM-5 in a matrix, and an additional additive catalyst of gallium ZSM-5 in a matrix. The alumina-rich matrix of the cracking catalyst acts a a sodium and metals sink. The large pore molecular sieve catalyst cracks large hydrocarbons to lighter paraffins and olefins. The shape selective paraffin cracking/isomerization component cracks/isomerizes the paraffins produced by the large pore moleular sieve. The shape selective aliphatic aromatization catalyst converts light paraffins and olefins into aromatics. A single shape selective zeolite, e.g., ZSM-5 with a controlled amount of an aromatization component such as gallium, may promote both paraffin cracking/isomerization and aromatization. The additive catalysts have physical properties, e.g., size, shape, density and attrition resistance which are substantially the same as the cracking catalyst.

Reservoir Compartmentalization Assessed With Fluid Compositional Data

Abstract: Fluid composition is a valuable addition to the battery of static'' data available during reservoir appraisal that can be used to predict the dynamic behavior of the reservoir later in field life. This is because fluid data are not truly static; natural fluid mixing is a dynamic process that occurs over a long (geologic) time scale. Oil compositional differences, especially those that parallel changes in density, should be mixed rapidly by convection; their preservation indicates barriers to fluid flow. Water variations, now measurable on conventional core samples by use of residual salt analysis (RSA), help identify barriers to vertical fluid flow in oil and water legs.
