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, ...
Gelation kinetics of PAM/PEI based drilling mud for lost circulation applications
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
The problem of lost circulation is a direct consequence of the presence of fractures or high permeability. Lost circulation material (LCM) is used to treat the loss that occurs or proactively strengthen the wellbore of the ...
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 ...
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 ...
