Abstract
Introduction. In conditions of high gas factor of the extracted products, the urgent task is to find new solutions for gas utilization. Within the framework of this work, the analysis of existing solutions for utilization was carried out, and it is proposed to use in a new way the technology of using a wellhead jet device (ejector) for pumping associated petroleum gas back into the formation using injection wells.
Aim. Development of a new technical solution for the utilization of associated petroleum gas.
Materials and methods. The current operating modes of the wells, as well as data on the geometric parameters of the wellhead jet device, were used as initial data. A package of macros in the VBA programming language was used to perform the calculations and steady state and transient well simulation.
Results. A new method for the utilization of associated petroleum gas was proposed, the optimal design of the wellhead jet device was selected, a universal tool for analyzing the operating modes of the ejector was created, and the effectiveness of the proposed solution was experimentally proven.
Conclusion. As a result of the analysis, calculations and pilot tests, it was determined that the wellhead jet device is an effective method for utilizing associated petroleum gas.
