Oil well drilling operation is a complex process, in which there are always new lessons learned during drilling operation. Casebased reasoning (CBR) is an approach to problem solving that recalls previous experiences. Whenever the process is running smoothly, or is failing, the experiences gained during such episodes are valuable and should be stored for later re-use. This paper presents a meth...

& Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) machining involves the application of a minute amount of an oil-based lubricant to the machining process in an attempt to replace the conventional flood coolant system. Understanding the correlations between fluid properties and MQL performance can help in selecting lubricants from a variety of choices without going through extensive machining tests. This st...

Detecting karstification processes in hydrocarbon carbonate reservoirs is important because of their porosity, permeability and also the risk associated with their drilling. A very useful technique to locate buried karsts is 3D seismic. In this research, seismic frequency decomposition (spectral decomposition) and seismic inversion techniques used to identify these sub-surface diagenetic featur...

Maybe viscosity in drilling fluid is the most important parameter because cutting removal from well are task of viscose fluid. If viscosity of fluid is less than particular value, cutting will settle down in well and drilling operation will be stopped. In this study, synthesis of Alumina/Polyacrylamide nanocomposite through solution polymerization method was performed. Rheological behavior of m...

The article discusses researches performed in the Well Drilling Department of the St. Petersburg Mining University. The directions of development of the department are shown. Special attention in this article is paid to research in the field of developing drilling fluids for drilling wells in various mining and geological conditions. It is shown that the gas-liquid mixtures studied by the depar...

– World wide drilling is developing for oil, gas or water resources. Electric motors power 75% of the total drilling rigs installation, augmenting to 95% for the case of Romania. Monitoring diesel generators micro-power station and motors of the rig is the second important thing to do and complete the main task of drilling process monitoring. This paper describe a monitoring and control system ...

This investigation was undertaken to determine the relative effects of recommended land spraying while drilling (LWD) loading rate application for a source of water-based drilling waste material on selected soil properties and phytotoxicity. Drilling waste material was obtained from a well where a nitrate gypsum water based product was used to formulate the drilling fluid. The fluid and associa...
