چکیده

numerous parameters influence bit selection process, which considering all them is not normally feasible. existing methods use limited number of these parameters to choose a suitable bit for a specific drilling condition. one of the widely used methods is cost per foot. specific energy and drilling strength are another methods currently used for bit selection. different methods of bit selection and bit lifetime estimation were tested on a gas field, in southern iran. although cost per foot method is most widely used, present study showed that similar bits may have different cost per foot in different wells, rock formations or drilling conditions. therefore, where geological and geothechnical conditions widely vary in a single formation, this method cannot be used alone for bit selection. the specific energy method was also found to have some deficiencies as it is highly dependent on drilling parameters. the outcome of using existing formula for predicting unconfined compressive strength from petrophysical data of oil and gas wells is in fact drilling resistance, which is a very rough estimate of unconfined compressive strength. on the other hand, the drilling strength method, using young's modulus and clay content, showed to have rewarding results on the studied field. this method, if used together with cost per foot method, will give better results. the present study also showed that the results derived from the drilling strength method should be modified according to drilling parameters.

Optimum Drill Bit Selection by Using Bit Images and Mathematical Investigation

This study is designed to consider the two important yet often neglected factors, which are factory recommendation and bit features, in optimum bit selection. Image processing techniques have been used to consider the bit features. A mathematical equation, which is derived from a neural network model, is used for drill bit selection to obtain the bit’s maximum penetration rate that corresponds ...

A Mixed-integer Convex Formulation for Production Optimization of Gas- Lifted Oil Fields with Routing and Pressure Constraints

Production optimization of gas-lifted oil fields under facility, routing, and pressure constraints has attracted the attention of researchers and practitioners for its scientific challenges and economic impact. The available methods fall into one of two categories: nonlinear or piecewise-linear approaches. The nonlinear methods optimize simulation models directly or use surrogates obtained by c...

Using Intelligent Methods and Optimization of the Existing Empirical Correlations for Iranian Dead Oil Viscosity

Numerous empirical correlations exist for the estimation of crude oil viscosities. Most of these correlations are not based on the experimental and field data from Iranian geological zone. In this study several well-known empirical correlations including Beal, Beggs, Glasso, Labedi, Schmidt, Alikhan and Naseri were optimized and refitted with the Iranian oil field data. The results showed that ...

Optimization of lift gas allocation in a gas lifted oil field as non-linear optimization problem

Proper allocation and distribution of lift gas is necessary for maximizing total oil production from a eld with gas lifted oil wells. When the supply of the lift gas is limited, the total available gas should be optimally distributed among the oil wells of the eld such that the total production of oil from the eld is maximized. This paper describes a non-linear optimization problem with constra...
