Development of an expert system for selection of drilling fluids and solids control equipment
(1998)Proper drilling fluids and a good solids control program, hold the keys to a successful drilling operation. In most of the cases the spudding of a well can be done using native water or very lightly treated bentonite muds. ... -
INVESTIGATION OF PLUGGING IN ORIFICE, SLOT, AND PORE-THROAT BY FINE PARTICLES
(2010)orifice- or slot-to-particle-size ratio on flowing fluid conditions and plugging time that lead to particle bridging. It was demonstrated that the critical orifice- or slot-to-particle-size ratio vs. particle-volume-fraction ... -
Numerical simulation of transient cuttings transport with foam in horizontal wells
(2013)The use of foam for underbalanced drilling applications is increasing significantly. This is because foam exhibits properties, which are desirable when drilling depleted and low-pressure wells. However, a good knowledge ...
