Surface seismics - today’s mature technology

Not continuous or
real-time - need to
deploy survey ships

Limited resolution sensors are distant
from reservoir
AB

Microseismics - tomorrow’s technology

Permanent monitoring
with sensors in the
reservoir

Listen for naturally
occurring low-level
seismic events
AB
Permanent logging - emerging technology
sensors
permanently installed
in the well

 Advanced

Fiber optic pressure &
temperature sensors high reliability, field-proven

Permanent electric
logging sensors - under
development
AB
Information delivering data to the user


Integrating the
downhole sensors
into the oilfield
control system

Knowledge
Using microseismic information to better manage the reservoir
© ABB Ltd - Page 7
Interpreting continuous
microseismic event data.
Detecting critical changes in the
reservoir – water break-through,
fault reactivation, etc.

Today’s hydrocracking market
Acceptable sulfur limits

2000: Six ISOCRACKING
units awarded to Chevron
Lummus Global

Worldwide: Large catalyst
resale and retrofit market

Asia/Middle East: Driven by
distillate demand and
environmental
considerations

Diesel
VGO = Vacuum Gas Oil
LCO = Light Cycle Oil from FCC
CGO = Coker Gas Oil
Feedstocks for:
 gasoline production
(synergy with FCC)
 lube oil manufacture
 petrochemicals
production

ISOCRACKING
FCC
Balances diesel to gasoline.
Enhances gasoline production
AB
When middle distillate is preferred...
Stand-alone ISOCRACKING does the job

Benefits:

Converts heavy oils to high-quality
jet fuel and diesel.

Reduces aromatics

Reduces sulfur, even from difficult
heavy oil feeds

Produces highest yields of aviation
turbine (jet) fuels and diesel fuels
