Artificial intelligence has synthesized new chemical molecules to increase hydrocarbon production at Gazprom Neft fields. Reagents created on their basis will increase the efficiency of developing complex deposits and extend the life of dozens of fields throughout Russia.
The first samples of the substance were synthesized as part of a pilot project for one of the mature fields in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Artificial intelligence modeled 6,000 variants of chemical composition combinations and selected a priority digital molecule with the best performance indicators. The production of this molecule is available on the basis of Russian raw materials and technologies, and the creation process took 3 months, while the development of similar products in modern scientific laboratories takes at least 2 years.
Laboratory tests at Kazan Federal University and Tyumen State University confirmed the effectiveness of the synthesized molecule. This opens up new opportunities for Gazprom Neft to increase production at mature fields, where the use of effective surfactants is required to displace oil from reservoirs. New chemical reagents are one of the main ways to maintain production at mature fields and develop complex deposits, as they allow involving additional reserves in the development at Gazprom Neft sites throughout the country.
During the tests of the "smart molecule", ultra-low values of interfacial tension between oil and the displacing surfactant were recorded, which allows achieving high fluid conductivity in geological formations and extracting additional oil.
The technological partner of Gazprom Neft for the project is the startup "Кемпрофет", which is a graduate of the "ИНДАСТРИКС" accelerator. Further cooperation involves the creation of new reagents for enhanced oil recovery at large fields in Western Siberia and the Orenburg Region. Russian manufacturers will be involved in the manufacture of new reagents.
