Supervisory control for underbalanced drilling operations
Good flow and pressure control is essential for successful Underbalanced Drilling (UBD) operations. This work evaluates the use of Model Predictive Control (MPC) for integrated control of well conditions and the topside separation system during UBD. The downhole well pressure, separator liquid levels, and the separator pressure are controlled by manipulation of the rig pump, the choke, and the ...
متن کاملInfluence of Altitudes and Air Humidity to the Minimum Gas Injection Rate in Air Underbalanced Drilling
Three aspects, such as the optimization of calculation model for the minimum gas injection rate, the effect of elevation on the minimum gas injection rate, the effect of air humidity on the minimum gas injection rate, have been reviewed in this paper. Considering the influence of altitude and air humidity, correction factor for gas injection rate is calculated. The value of gas injection for al...
متن کاملFeasibility of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide as a Drilling Fluid for Deep Underbalanced Drilling Operations
Feasibility of drilling with supercritical carbon dioxide to serve the needs of deep underbalanced drilling operations has been analyzed. A case study involving underbalanced drilling to access a depleted gas reservoir is used to illustrate the need for such a research. For this well, nitrogen was initially considered as the drilling fluid. Dry nitrogen, due to its low density, was unable to ge...
متن کاملModel-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...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Shale Gas Reservoir in Jiyang Depression and its Significance in Drilling and Exploitation
Physical and geochemical characteristics of shale play conclusive role in confirming operation measures during drilling and stimulation. The properties of shale samples from Jiyang depression were investigated through X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, adsorption isothermal, high pressure mercury intrusion, methylene blue trihydrate, pressure pulse decay, tests of specific water w...
