The main forms of gas kicks into the wellbore during drilling in fractured carbonate reservoirs are underbalanced pressure and gravity displacement. These two have different mechanisms entry well control measures, which require timely identification type kick when it occurs. A two-phase flow model with a wellbore-formation coupling was developed, based on rate models. variation characteristics ...

The complex formation pressure system and diverse fluid components during deepwater deep drilling make it easy for gas intrusion accidents to occur. dissolution suspension of the intruded in difference between gas–liquid phase distribution characteristics gas–water two-phase flow wellbore lead errors calculation overflow assessment after intrusion. In this article, a multiphase model, consideri...

Information transmission is an important part of the wellbore trajectory automatic control system. Combined with the characteristics of the guided drilling system, drilling fluid pulse is selected as a tool for trajectory control. Negative pulse transmission of drilling fluid is one of the key technologies to realize wellbore trajectory automatic control. In this paper, the working principle of...

In this study, a 1-D transient state mechanistic model of cuttings transport with foam in inclined wells has been developed. The model is solved numerically to predict the optimum foam flow rate (liquid and gas rate) and rheological properties that would maximize cuttings transport efficiency in inclined wells. A detailed sensitivity analysis of the effect of gas and liquid flow rates, drilling...

This paper develops mathematical models for a proposed production logging tool, which uses capacitance sensors to measure liquid annulus thickness and liquid type for a primarily gas-carrying wellbore. A semi-analytical method is devised which uses Fourier analysis to account for the complicated system geometry and reduces the problem to singular integral equations over a sensor electrode. Appr...

2] suggests that multiscale methods are a useful tool for purposes of computational efficiency. In this paper we explore a multiresolution approach We consider inverse problems described by that class to solving one dimensional inverse problems. The apof operators which are made sparse under the action proach we take is motivated by the work of Chou, of the wavelet transform [2]. Thus, the inve...

Few production problems strike fear into the hearts of engineers the way scale can. Scale is an assemblage of deposits that cake perforations, casing, production tubing, valves, pumps and downhole completion equipment, thereby clogging the wellbore and preventing fluid flow. Scale, just like the scale found in home plumbing or tea kettles, can be deposited all along water paths from injectors t...

Inherently, confined animal farming operations (CAFOs) and other intense fecal-rich environments are potential sources of groundwater contamination by enteric pathogens. The ubiquity of microbial matter poses unique technical challenges in addition to economic constraints when sampling wells in such environments. In this paper, we evaluate a groundwater sampling protocol that relies on extended...

During the deepwater drilling, complicated gas-liquid-solid multiphase flow will occur if formation gas enters and migrates in wellbore. Through understanding of wellbore behaviors is great importance for blowout prevention well control. Considering dynamic mass heat transfer process caused by alternating ambient temperature field, a model multicomponent fluid deduced developed, including conti...
