Effect of charge type and density of polyacrylamide on the electrokinetics behavior of flocculated bentonite suspensions
(
AIChE
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The study of electrokinetics behavior of clay suspensions is of fundamental importance in many industrial applications. This paper addresses the electrokinetics behavior of polyacrylamide (PAM)- bentonite suspensions. The ...
Applications of Machine Learning Methods to Predict Hole Cleaning in Horizontal and Highly Deviated Wells
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Machine learning (ML) has become a robust method for modeling field operations based on measurements. For example, wellbore cleanout is a critical operation that needs to be optimized to enhance the removal of solids to ...
A Mechanistic Model for Wellbore Cleanout in Horizontal and Inclined Wells
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
The accumulation of rock cuttings, proppant, and other solid debris in the wellbore caused by inadequate cleanout remarkably impedes field operations. The cuttings removal process becomes a more challenging task as the ...
Effect of Fluid Rheology on the Performance of Fibrous Fluid in Horizontal Well Cleanout
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)
, 2022 , Conference Paper)
The deposition of solids in the wellbore is a widely known problem encountered during drilling, completion, and intervention operations. Innovative cleanout fluids alleviate problems associated with inefficient hole cleaning. ...
Effects of Pipe Rotation on the Performance of Fibrous Fluids in Horizontal Well Cleanout
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)
, 2022 , Conference Paper)
The deposition of rock cuttings is a problem commonly faced during drilling, completion, and intervention operations. Using polymer-based fluids is a common technique to improve horizontal downhole cleaning. However, these ...
Rapid Curing Environmentally Degradable Polymeric Pill for Loss Circulation Treatment
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)
, 2022 , Conference Paper)
Loss circulation is frequent while drilling in naturally fractured or depleted reservoirs, which is usually associated with high non-productive time (NPT). Moreover, naturally pre-existing fractures may propagate when fluid ...
