21 State Harnessing Gas Flaring
22 What might the flaring picture look like as multiwell pad and infill drilling increases?
23 Summary of Flared Gas Statistics December 2013 Nonconfidential Locations TOTAL LOCATIONS <1 Mcfd Mcfd Mcfd Mcfd Mcfd Locations 1640 (35%) 2737 (59%) 137 (3%) 89 (2%) 48 (1%) Monthly Gas Flared, Mcf 4201 (<1%) 3,615,724 (40%) 1,402,126 (15%) 1,823,098 (20%) 2,271,499 (25%) 274 locations flaring 60% of total flared gas at rates of >300 Mcfd.
24 Scenario 1 Hypothetical Six-Well, 1-month Interval Initial well producing for 6 months, followed by five additional wells coming online at 1-month intervals. Hypothetical decline curve used.
25 Scenario 2 Hypothetical Six-Well, 6-month Interval Six wells coming online at 6-month intervals. Hypothetical decline curve used.
26 Utilization of Associated Gas for Power Drilling Rigs
27 Project Sponsors and Participants
28 A Use for Flared Natural Gas Power production for drilling rigs using a mixture of associated gas and diesel provides a near-term opportunity for gas use. Drill rigs are typically powered by three large diesel generators. Diesel engines, properly outfitted with bifuel systems, can utilize a mixture of diesel and natural gas. Significant fuel savings can be achieved because of the price differential between diesel and natural gas: 30% 60% reduced fuel costs. Reduced fuel delivery and associated traffic, engine emissions, and fugitive dust.
29 Wellhead Gas Use in Internal Combustion Engines Powering Drilling Rig Operation Challenges: Wellhead gas contains hydrocarbons such as propane, butane, pentane, and hexane. The introduction of these gaseous fuels to compression ignition engines can lead to: Engine knock at high replacement rates. Slight increases in exhaust temperatures. Changes in stack emissions. Changes in the combustion properties in the engine. The purpose of this project was to evaluate these impacts with two tasks: Evaluate GTI Bi-Fuel system at the EERC with simulated wellhead gas Demonstrate GTI Bi-Fuel system during actual drilling operations
30 Gas Composition Dry Pipeline Gas Bi-Fuel System Recommended Gas Quality Bakken Gas Composition Methane, CH % 55% >92% Ethane, C 2 H 6 5.5% 22% <8% Propane, C 3 H 8 0.3% 13% <8% Butane, C 4 H 10 5% <2% combined total butane heptane Pentane, C 5 H 12 1% Hexane, C 6 H % Heptane, C 7 H % Nitrogen, N 2 1.6% 3% Carbon Dioxide, CO 2 0.4% 0.5% Higher Heating Value, Btu/scf
31 Findings from Testing at the EERC Using Simulated Gas Testing at the EERC using simulated Bakken gas Diesel replacement rates from 0% to 70% Engine operation at 10% 100% of full load Various amounts and combinations of natural gas liquids (NGLs) Diesel engines can run on wellhead gas, but the replacement rate is limited because of the potential for engine knock. Up to 50% diesel replacement achieved. When using rich gas at higher diesel replacement rates and heavy load conditions, there was a slight increase in ignition delay and peak cylinder pressure and associated engine vibration.
32 Field Demonstration Objectives Evaluate diesel engine performance using wellhead gas during actual drilling operations: Monitor engine vibration Measure emissions Document fuel savings
33 Summary of Results Diesel fuel consumption reduced by 18,000 gallons for two wells during a period of 47 days. Fuel-related net cost savings of nearly $60,000. Reduced delivery truck traffic. Beneficial use of wellhead gas. Reduced NO emissions and increased CO and HC (hydrocarbon) emissions compared to diesel-only operation. Mitigation achievable with exhaust gas treatment. Seamless engine operation using the GTI Bi-Fuel system.
34 Impact of Widespread Use Nearly 200 drilling rigs in operation at any given time 1,800,000 Mcf of wellhead gas used each year 18,000,000 gallons of diesel fuel saved each year $72,000,000 diesel fuel cost saved each year 3600 fuel deliveries avoided each year
35 Program Focus on Research into Improved Methods of Drill Cuttings Disposal and Recycling
36 Key Questions on Drill Cuttings KEY QUESTIONS How much water and total hydrocarbon content can be extracted economically from wet drill cuttings? What products can be derived from individual lithofacial zones? What are the regulatory concerns? What impacts from local winter climate can be expected on recycling processes? KEY CONCERNS NORM Salt Fugitive dust KEY OPPORTUNITIES Decreased pressures on landfills Conversion of disposal cost into new revenue stream Resolution of liability issues Public opinion Economic impact
37 Program Progress on Drill Cuttings The Program is currently assessing available recycling technology options for use in the Bakken: Dryvac (DCDC) Cuttings reinjection (various) Terrafficient SM (Nuverra) Others White paper summary will be available 4th Quarter Nuverra is developing deep science in association with the Program. We are currently in discussions with individual producers to focus solutions on specific local needs.
