A Mechanistic Model for Wellbore Cleanout in Horizontal and Inclined Wells
Elgaddafi, Rida; Ahmed, Ramadan; Karami, Hamidreza; Nasser, Mustafa; Hussein, Ibnelwaleed ( 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 ... -
Applications of Machine Learning Methods to Predict Hole Cleaning in Horizontal and Highly Deviated Wells
Mendez, Michael; Ahmed, Ramadan; Karami, Hamidreza; Nasser, Mustafa; Hussein, Ibnelwaleed; Garcia, Sergio; Gonzalez, Andres... more authors ... less authors ( 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 ... -
Effect of Fluid Rheology on the Performance of Fibrous Fluid in Horizontal Well Cleanout
Mendez, Michael; Garcia, Sergio; Ahmed, Ramadan; Karami, Hamidreza; Nasser, Mustafa; Hussein, Ibnelwaleed... more authors ... less authors ( 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. ... -
Effect of Fluid Viscosity and Fiber Length on the Performance of Fibrous Fluid in Horizontal Well Cleanout
Mendez, Michael; Garcia, Sergio Prada; Ahmed, Ramadan; Karami, Hamidreza; Nasser, Mustafa; Hussein, Ibnelwaleed A.... more authors ... less authors ( Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) , 2023 , Article)During drilling, completion, and intervention operations, solids can deposit in the wellbore. Innovative cleanout fluids reduce the problems associated with inadequate hole cleaning. Various methods have been developed to ... -
Effects of Pipe Rotation on the Performance of Fibrous Fluids in Horizontal Well Cleanout
Garcia, Sergio; Mendez, Michael; Ahmed, Ramadan; Karami, Hamidreza; Nasser, Mustafa; Hussein, Ibnelwaleed... more authors ... less authors ( 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 ... -
Pilot-scale study on the suspension of drill cuttings: Effect of fiber and fluid characteristics
Mahmoud, Husameldin; Alhajabdalla, Mohammed; Mohammed, Arafat A.A.; Nasser, Mustafa S.; Hussein, Ibnelwaleed A.; Ahmed, Ramadan; Karami, Hamidreza... more authors ... less authors ( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Drilling operation smoothness is essential to minimize drilling non-productive time (NPT). Inadequate cuttings transport can result in cuttings bed build-up in the wellbore low side, jeopardizing the whole drilling operation. ...
