Prevention of Formation of Hydrates of Gas during Wells Drilling Operations
نویسنده
چکیده
Formation of hydrates is observed during drilling and construction of wells, more frequently in gas wells located offshore (deep sea water). Hydrates of natural gas can clog chokes and kill lines, and obstruct the opening or closure of blow out preventer (BOP), seal well override valve and immobilize well string. Because of that, this work was mainly focused in the selection and adaptation of a prediction method to avoid hydrate formation, to let us analyze their risk and be applicable to imperative conditions specifically during offshore drilling operations.

متن کاملPrediction 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...
متن کاملA Dynamic Simulation of Annular Multiphase Flow during Deep-water Horizontal Well Drilling and the Analysis of Influential Factors
A gas kick simulation model for deep-water horizontal well with diesel-based drilling fluid is presented in this paper. This model is mainly based on the mass, momentum, and energy conservation equations. The unique aspect of this model is the fluid-gas coupling and the change of mud properties after the gas influx from the formation. The simulation results show that the gas in an annulus disso...

A synthesis of well logs was carried out and drilling mud weight data were analyzed to figure out anomalous high fluid pressure within the Triassic evaporitic cap rock (the Dashtak formation) and study its impact on the geometry of anticlinal traps in the gas rich Gavbandi province located in the southeast part of the Zagros Mountains. The results indicated that the location of anticlinal traps...
