Settling behavior of fine cuttings in fiber-containing polyanionic fluids for drilling and hole cleaning application
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
For efficient drilling operations, cuttings transport within the oil and gas wellbore is fundamental. Inadequate hole cleaning results in many problems including reduced rate of penetration, increased torque, bit wearing, ...
Assessing the relation between mud components and rheology for loss circulation prevention using polymeric gels: A machine learning approach
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
The traditional way to mitigate loss circulation in drilling operations is to use preventative and curative materials. However, it is difficult to quantify the amount of materials from every possible combination to produce ...
A CFD- RSM study of cuttings transport in non-Newtonian drilling fluids: Impact of operational parameters
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
Cuttings removal out of the wellbore represents a real barrier for successful drilling operations. The performance of hole cleaning is determined by several factors. The current article provides a theoretical study of the ...
CFD modeling of particle settling in drilling fluids: Impact of fluid rheology and particle characteristics
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
The settling of drilling cuttings is important for the drilling and clean-out operations. The current article provides a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling study of particle settling behavior during the drilling ...
