Priorities of innovative activity of Orenburg region's subsoil users

Abstract

.Instability of the global energy market and internal problems of operation of the mature Orenburg oil and gas condensate field have led to the need for innovation. The relevance of new technologies is explained by the fact that since 1967, the development of the field has been complicated by the aggressiveness of the extracted hydrogen sulfide gas and the activity of water manifestations. The lack of effective technologies has led to a deterioration in the conditions of field preparation of raw materials, a drop in reservoir pressure and flow rate of wells, and an increase in their water content. As a result, oil and gas production and environmental and economic efficiency indicators are rapidly declining. In this regard, priorities have been set for technological improvement of subsurface use: 1) reduction of operating costs through the introduction of resource-saving and energy-efficient technologies; 2) application of environmental innovations in order to reduce the man-made impact on the environment. This paper presents measures aimed at solving the identified problems: re-equipment of oil wells with an automated plunger-lift on solar batteries without reconstruction of fountain fittings; arrangement of a system for utilization of gases degassing of sulfur on the Claus process plant;etc.
