Oil production may be accompanied by Sand Production (SP) in the weak sandstone reservoirs. Fluid flow is an important factor in transporting the separated grains and completing the SP mechanism. In this paper, the effect of fluid parameters, fluid flow, and fluid pressure on the SP is investigated by applying the Discrete Element Method (DEM). Parametric studies show that fluid velocity is red...

this paper addresses the combined effects of couple stresses, thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and slip condition on a free convective flow of a couple stress fluid induced by a vertical stretching sheet. the cogley- vincenti-gilles equilibrium model is employed to include the effects of thermal radiation in the study. the governing boundary layer equations are transformed into a system o...

Acidic fluid flow in geologic formations leads to mineral dissolution and, under certain circumstances, localized forming a dendritic pattern, known as wormhole. Such patterns of conduits and caves are often observed karstic aquifer deliberately engineered oil gas well stimulation with acid injection. Two different kinds instability thought cause wormholes. One is heterogeneous property rocks. ...

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...

Analysis of the drilling fluid temperature due to heat transfer of drilling fluid with the formation in under-balanced drilling operation is the main objective of this study. Gas-liquid two-phase flow model considering thermal interaction with the formation is used to numerically simulate a well with real dimensions. In the present study, the continuity, momentum, and energy equations are devel...

The effects of varying concentration Acrylamide copolymer (an effective fluid loss control additive) and temperature on in oil well cementing was studied. neat cement (Dyckerhoff Class G), property slurry with acrylamide copolymer, were investigated at range 48-82oC bottom hole circulating pressure 3500 psi. concentrations the studied 0.25, 0.50 0.75 percentage by weight cement. Thickening time...
