SlurryMinder: A Rational Oil Well Completion Design Module
نویسندگان
چکیده
A critical phase of oil well completion involves positioning cement between the outer surface of a metal casing and the sides of the well. This task is done by injecting a specially formulated cement slurry down the center of the casing and up the sides of the bore hole. Designing these slurry systems is time consuming and expensive because of the variability of the conditions between wells and the variability of the raw materials and techniques used in geographically diverse locations. SLURRYMINDER is a design tool to aid field engineers in creating globally consistent cement slurry formulations and to rapidly disseminate current well-cementing techniques. We describe the implementation of this system and why AI technology was used; we also discuss corporate benefits of the system, both real and projected. We provide details on the SLURRYMINDER development process, its worldwide deployment, and our experiences in maintaining and updating it.

Immiscible-Recycle Gas Injection to Enhance Recovery in an Iranian Naturally Fractured Reservoir: a Case Study with Emphasis on Uncertain Parameters
Recycle-gas injection is a promising recovery process to produce oil and gas. The method uses continues injection of the produced gas at economical rates to keep the reservoirs energy up and using viscous force as the driving force. There are numerous studies done on recycle-gas injection in conventional reservoirs, however, there are some other factors such as location of wells and completion ...

In this article we introduce $mu$-filtered fuzzy module with a family of fuzzy submodules. It shows the relation between $mu$-filtered fuzzy modules and crisp filtered modules by level sets. We investigate fuzzy topology on the $mu$-filtered fuzzy module and apply that to introduce fuzzy completion. Finally we extend Krull's intersection theorem of fuzzy ideals by using concept $mu$-adic comp...
