Study on Cuttings Transport Efficiency Affected by Stabilizer’s Blade Shape in Vertical Wells
Effective cuttings transport means a better hole cleaning in drilling operations, which can increase the rate of penetration (ROP), and avoids pipe sticking, higher drag and torque problems. This paper aimed to analyze cuttings transport efficiency affected by different blade shapes of stabilizers, which is often overlooked in drilling. For this purpose, Eulerian multiphase flow model was used ...
متن کاملNumerical 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...
متن کاملOptimization of Dogleg Severity in Directional Drilling Oil Wells Using Particle Swarm Algorithm (Short Communication)
The dogleg severity is one of the most important parameters in directional drilling. Improvement of these indicators actually means choosing the best conditions for the directional drilling in order to reach the target point. Selection of high levels of the dogleg severity actually means minimizing well trajectory, but on the other hand, increases fatigue in drill string, increases torque and d...
متن کاملUsing an experimental drilling simulator to study operational parameters in drilled-cutting transport efficiency
Inadequate hole cleaning can lead to many problems in horizontal and directional wells. In this work, we tried to investigate the cutting transport phenomenon by an experimental directional drilling simulator, considering the differences between the operational and experimental conditions. The inclination, fluid type (water, foam, viscous, and dense), rotary speed (0 and 110 rpm), nozzle bit si...
متن کاملIdentification and ranking risks of horizontal directional drilling for oil & gas wells by using fuzzy analytic network process, a case study for Gachsaran oil field wells
Risk ranking of Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) for gas and oil wells is a key criterion in the project feasibility, pricing and for introducing a risk management strategy that aims to reduce the number of failures in the installation phase and its negative consequences. HDD is currently widely used in drilling wells in Iran, but research in the area of identification and risks ranking of...
