Effects of fibers and pipe rotation on horizontal well cleanout with polymeric fluids
Garcia Prada, Sergio Armando (2022)Rock cuttings deposition is a problem commonly faced during drilling, completion, and intervention activities. Using polymer-based fluids is the to-go technique to improve horizontal hole cleaning. However, the rheological ... -
Effects of Pressure and Oil Contamination on Drainage and Bubble Size Distribution of Aqueous Foams
Shah, Karan Dinesh (2022-05-14)Foams exhibit valuable properties such as high viscosity, low density, and good cutting carrying capacity. However, they are thermodynamically unstable due to gravitational drainage, bubble coalescence, and coarsening. As ... -
Experimental Analysis of Centrifugal Downhole Separators in Boosting Artificial Lift Performance
Olubode, Michael (2021-12-18)Gas evolution and expansion is a natural phenomenon in oil and gas wells. However, gas is detrimental to pumping artificial lift (AL) systems, causing incomplete pump fillage and reduced pump efficiency in oil wells. Pumping ... -
Experimental Evaluation of a Centrifugal Packer-Type Downhole Separator
Sharma, Ashutosh (2019)With the ever-increasing decline in production of oil wells, application of artificial lift techniques is becoming inevitable. Beam pumps and electrical submersible pumps are two of the most common artificial lift methods ... -
Experimental Investigation of a Novel Working Fluid for Heat Extraction In Geothermal Wells
Nwosu, Chinedu (2023-05-13)The exponential increase in the global atmospheric carbon dioxide has spurred research interest in the exploration and maximization of renewable energy exploits. This interest has in turn inspired the growth of the geothermal ... -
Experimental investigation of elastomer performance for underground hydrogen storage wells
