Prediction of Temperature Profile in Oil Wells

A mathematical model has been developed to predict the temperature distribution in wellbores either offshore or inshore. It is incorporated the different activities encountered during drilling operations. Furthermore, the effect of drill collar and casings and bit rotating in a well during completion has been considered. The two dimensional approach is presented in the form of a computer progra...

The integrity of oil and gas wells.

Public concerns about oil and natural gas extraction these days inevitably turn to hydraulic fracturing, where millions of gallons of water, sand, and chemicals are pumped underground at high pressures to crack open rocks. Hydraulic fracturing often occurs a mile or more down, far from the water we drink or the air we breathe. The focus for safety and environmental stewardship should often be s...

Literature Survey on Cements for Remediation of Deformed Casing in Geothermal Wells

Brookhaven National Laboratory was requested to conduct a literature survey for the best available cement to use in the proposed casing patch as part of the Geothermal Drilling Organization (GDO) project on remediation of deformed casings. A total of 50 wells has been identified with deformed production casing in Unocal’s portion of The Geysers geothermal field. Reduced internal diameter and ca...
