چکیده مقاله:

Fluid invasion from water-based drilling mud (WBDM) into the shale formations causes swelling, high pressure zone near the wellbore wall, and eventually wellbore instability problems during drilling operations. For the stability of the wellbore, physical plugging of nanoscale pore throats could be considered as a logical approach toward avoiding the fluid invasion into the shale formation. This paper reports the effect of silica nanoparticles (NPs) as a physical sealing agent on the water invasion into Kazhdumi shale. To this end, pressure penetration apparatus was implemented. Typical WBDM in contact with Kazhdumi shale at different concentrations of NPs with different sizes was studied. The results indicated that the addition of NPs to the WBDM decreased water invasion into Kazhdumi shale. WBDM having 10 wt.% of 25 nm NPs reduced fluid invasion up to 72.76%.

Minimizing invasion risk by reducing propagule pressure: a model for ballast- water exchange

© The Ecological Society of America www.frontiersinecology.org B invasions, a major and increasing agent of global biodiversity change, are often the result of inadvertent releases from trade and travel pathways (Levine et al. 2003; Ruiz and Carlton 2003; Drake and Lodge 2004). Empirical and theoretical evidence indicate that invasion risk can be decreased by reducing propagule pressure, specif...

Prediction of ultimate strength of shale using artificial neural network

A rock failure criterion is very important for prediction of the ultimate strength in rock mechanics and geotechnics; it is determined for rock mechanics studies in mining, civil, and oil wellborn drilling operations. Also shales are among the most difficult to treat formations. Therefore, in this research work, using the artificial neural network (ANN), a model was built to predict the ultimat...

2D Numerical Simulation of Improving Wellbore Stability in Shale Using Nanoparticles Based Drilling Fluid

The past decade has seen increased focus on nanoparticle (NP) based drilling fluid to promote wellbore stability in shales. With the plugging of NP into shale pores, the fluid pressure transmission can be retarded and wellbore stability can be improved. For better understanding of the interaction between shale and NP based drilling fluid based on previous pressure transmission tests (PTTs) on A...

Shale gas development impacts on surface water quality in Pennsylvania.

Concern has been raised in the scientific literature about the environmental implications of extracting natural gas from deep shale formations, and published studies suggest that shale gas development may affect local groundwater quality. The potential for surface water quality degradation has been discussed in prior work, although no empirical analysis of this issue has been published. The pot...

Packing ellipsoids into volume-minimizing rectangular boxes

A set of tri-axial ellipsoids, with given semi-axes, is to be packed into a rectangular box; its widths, lengths and height are subject to lower and upper bounds. We want to minimize the volume of this box and seek an overlap-free placement of the ellipsoids which can take any orientation. We present closed non-convex NLP formulations for this ellipsoid packing problem based on purely algebraic...
