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 کاملImproving Thermal Stability of Starch in Formate Fluids for Drilling High Temperature Shales
Starch is one of the most widely used biopolymers in water based drilling fluids to control fluid loss. The thermal stability of starch in common drilling fluids is low (93 °C). In this study, the thermal stability of starch has been evaluated in sodium/potassium formate and potassium chloride fluids. Samples of mud were prepared by formate salts (sodium and potassium) and potassium chloride wi...
متن کاملProcess Modeling of Co, Injection into Natural Gas Reservoirs for Carbon Sequestration and Enhanced Gas Recovery
Injection of CO, into depleted natural gas reservoirs offers the potential to sequester carbon while simultaneously enhancing CH, recovey. Enhanced CH, recovery can partially offset the costs of CO, injection. With the goal of analyzing the feasibility of carbon sequestration with enhanced gas recovery (CSEGR), we are investigating the physical processes associated with injecting CO, into natur...
