Development of Three-Layer Model and Numerical Simulation for Cuttings Transport in Horizontal Foam Drilling

Numerical Modelling of Cuttings Transport with Foam in Inclined Wells

In this study, a 1-D transient state mechanistic model of cuttings transport with foam in inclined wells has been developed. The model is solved numerically to predict the optimum foam flow rate (liquid and gas rate) and rheological properties that would maximize cuttings transport efficiency in inclined wells. A detailed sensitivity analysis of the effect of gas and liquid flow rates, drilling...

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Model-guided Geosteering for Horizontal Drilling

Horizontal drilling is an important development in the petroleum industry and it relies heavily on guiding the drill bit with the aid of sonic logging, i.e. geosteering. The quality of sonic imaging depends heavily on the effective suppression of borehole waves and enhancement of weak reflection signal. To this end, we propose an approach to image the near-borehole structure using acoustic logg...
