The objective of the study is to examine hydrate formation conditions of methane-hydrogen sulfide mixtures providing the Black Sea conditions. An experimental work is carried out by using a system that contains a high-pressure hydrate formation cell with different H2S concentrations and both brine and distilled water. Hydrate equilibrium conditions, the number of moles of free gas in the hydrate formation cell, and rate of hydrate formation are determined. Effects of H2S concentration on the hydrate formation conditions are also obtained during the study. It is observed that with an increase in H2S concentration, the methane hydrogen sulfide hydrate formation conditions reach higher equilibrium temperature values at a given pressure. According to the experimental results, it is concluded that the Black Sea has suitable conditions for hydrate formation of methane hydrogen sulfide mixtures.

An experimental investigation on the chemical stability of selected formation and determination of the proper type of water-base drilling fluids. Part 2. Test results Erkekol, Selcuk; Gucuyener, I. Hakki; Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2006-07-01) The objective of this study was to select the proper drilling fluid type and composition for drilling stable holes through the problems of the selected formations. This study was performed on shale samples taken from 10 wells in which hole instability was encountered to various extents during drilling the Germav formation. Both ionic and polymer inhibitions were utilized in formulating the proper drilling for the Germav formation. Ionic inhibition was obtained using KCl and NaCl. Polyanionic polymer (Pac-L)...
An experimental investigation on the chemical stability of selected formation and determination of the proper type of water-base drilling fluids. Part 1. Descriptive tests Erkekol, Selcuk; Gucuyener, I. Hakki; Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2006-07-01) The objective of this study was to identify the descriptive tests for drilling stable holes through the problems of the selected formations. This study was performed on the shale samples taken from 10 wells in which hole instability was encountered to various extents during drilling the Germav formation. A total of 13 formation samples, characterizing the problematic intervals of the 10 wells under consideration, were evaluated. Descriptive tests were used to compare the samples and to determine the samples...
Characterization and Development of Drilling Fluid Type for an Oil Field Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01) In this study, different types of drilling fluids are developed and analyzed for a mature oil field. The optimum conditions were developed for shallow and deep formations. The experimental procedure that was followed for viscosity, fluid loss, density, and pH calculations is based on the standards dictated by API RP 13B. At the end of the experiments, it was also observed that for shallow depths, 0.2-0.3 lb of caustic soda will be enough for one barrel of drilling fluid. On the other hand, lignosulphanate t...
Application of vapex process for light crude oil Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Akın, Serhat (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01) The objective of this study is to investigate the applicability of Vapex process on Garzan crude oil. Experiments were performed with Hele-Shaw cell using two different solvents (propane and butane) at three different injection rates (20,40, and 80ml/min). For both Vapex solvents, oil production rates increased with injection rates for Garzan crude oil. Instantaneous asphaltene rate for Garzan oil showed fluctuated performance with propane solvent. Butane showed almost constant degree of asphaltene precipit...
Feasibility study of heavy oil field Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01) In this study, application of different enhanced tertiary oil recovery methods were applied considering fluid properties and reservoir characteristics of the heavy oil field. Effect of different oil and inflation rates were analyzed considering project economic life, pay out time, cash flow, and profit to investment ratio for steam flooding and CO2 methods. CO2 injection is found to be more profitable than the steam injection due to the high cost of steam injection operations and reservoir depth.
