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. ...
Flow mapping of multiphase flows using a novel single stem endoscopic particle image velocimetry instrument
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Particle image velocimetry (PIV) is a successful flow mapping technique which can optically quantify large portions of a flow regime. This enables the method to be completely non-intrusive. The ability to be non-intrusive ...
Investigation of Matrix Damage and Remediation Methods of Preformed Particle Gel Conformance Control Treatments in Carbonate Reservoirs
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)
, 2022 , Conference Paper)
Preformed Particle Gels (PPGs) have been widely applied to control excessive water production in mature oil fields with fractures or fracture-like features, especially in sandstones, but with limited attention to carbonates. ...
Reaction kinetics of some important alkanolamines with carbon dioxide in aqueous solutions using stopped flow technique
(
AIChE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The kinetics of the reactions between aqueous solutions of carbon dioxide and Aminomethylpropanol (AMP), Aminobutanol (AB), Aminopropanol (AP), Diethanolamine (DEA) and Ethanolamine (MEA) were investigated over a temperature ...
A CFD Investigation on the Effect of IPSBR Operational Conditions on Liquid Phase Hydrodynamics
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
This study used a computational fluid dynamics simulation of an inert-particle spouted-bed reactor, which consists of a cylindrical vessel with a conical base, to investigate the effect of different operational parameters ...
Application of DFT in iron sulfide scale removal from oil and gas wells
(
European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers, EAGE
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Scale formation including those formed by iron sulfides have been a major hassle in the upstream sector of the oil and gas industry for many decades. Iron Sulfide scales including pyrite (FeS2) and troilite (FeS) often ...
Screening of surfactants and polymers for high temperature high salinity carbonate reservoirs
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Carbonate reservoirs typically exhibit significant heterogeneity, high temperature and high salinit ies. Surfactant and polymer selection for such reservoirs is a challenging process where extensive laboratory investigations ...
Treatment of saline wastewater and carbon dioxide capture using electrodialysis
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
In this study, electrodialysis was used to achieve a combined action of capturing carbon dioxide and treating high-salinity water to produce hydrochloric acid, hydrogen gas, and carbonate and bicarbonate salts. Sodium ...
