Analysis of the drilling fluid temperature due to heat transfer of drilling fluid with the formation in under-balanced drilling operation is the main objective of this study. Gas-liquid two-phase flow model considering thermal interaction with the formation is used to numerically simulate a well with real dimensions. In the present study, the continuity, momentum, and energy equations are devel...

Electric discharge drill machine (EDDM) is a spark erosion process to produce micro-holes in conductive materials. This process is widely used in aerospace, medical, dental and automobile industries. As for the performance evaluation of the electric discharge drilling machine, it is very necessary to study the process parameters of machine tool. In this research paper, a brass rod 2 mm diameter...

During the petroleum well drilling operation many mechanical and hydraulic parameters are observed by an instrumentation system installed in the rig named mud-logging system. The mud-logging system is composed by several sensors distributed in the rig; these sensors measure different operation parameters like: hook load, column rotation, mud pit level, pumping pressure, etc. The mudlogging syst...

Naturally fractured formations usually have strong heterogeneities. Drilling and production operations in such can involve unwanted formation failure risks as wellbore collapse fracturing. This study presents a coupled thermal-hydraulic-mechanical numerical model for near-well stress evolutions during drilling naturally formations. The evolution of pressure, temperature, geo-mechanical response...

K e y w o r d s F o u r t h g r a d e fluid, Unsteady flow, Lie symmetries. 1. I N T R O D U C T I O N In recent years, considerable efforts have been usefully devoted to the s tudy of flow of nonNewton ian fluids. This is ma in ly due to their m a n y appl icat ions in pe t ro leum drilling, manufactu r ing of food and paper, and other similar activities. A vast a m o u n t of l i te ra ture i...

This paper examines the diverse nature of user reactions to information technology (IT) within the social-historical context of its organizational use. Employing activity theory as a conceptual framework, we conduct an interpretive analysis of physicians work, perceptions, and IT usage experience at a large community hospital to understand why some of these physicians were favorably disposed to...

pits, quarries, and on construction sites. The prediction of the penetration rate of drilling machines is very important for cost estimation and planning of rock excavation projects. Many researchers have investigated percussive drilling theoretically or experimentally and correlated the penetration rate with various rock properties. Protodyakonov (1962) developed drop tests and described the c...

Bone drilling is a fundamental task in several surgical procedures, including mastoidectomy, cochlear implantation, orbital surgery. It consists in eroding the part of the bone in contact with the tip of the surgical tool when a sufficient pressure is exerted. Since the bone is an almost rigid material, the bone drilling simulations usually employ voxel-based representations of the bone, so tha...

During exploration for oil and gas, a technical drilling fluid is used to lubricate the drill bit, maintain hydrostatic pressure, transmit sensor readings, remove rock cuttings and inhibit swelling of unstable clay based reactive shale formations. Increasing environmental awareness and resulting legislation has led to the search for new, improved biodegradable drilling fluid components. In the ...
