Laboratory experimental results of waterjet drilling have rarely been scaled up to the field scale. This article presents the scaling criteria for designing waterjet drilling laboratory experiments for simulating a given oilfield operation. Dimensional analysis is used to derive scaling groups for the waterjet drilling technique. The proposed scaling approach meets all important requirements of...

Pressure control drilling technology through the precise control of the entire wellbore annular pressure profile, the bottom of the pressure can always maintain the safety density window, so as to achieve the purpose of safe operation. In the drilling process, the use of conventional drilling technology for drilling operations, easily lead to well, overflow and other drilling accidents. In this...

Friction drilling Process is a rotating conical tool to penetrate the work piece and create a bushing in a single step without generating chips. This work investigates the finite element modeling (FEM) of large plastic strain and high-temperature work-material deformation in friction drilling. The workmaterial deformation is very large, and both the tool and work piece temperatures are high in ...

Environmental concerns surrounding drilling for gas are intense due to expansion of shale gas drilling operations. Controversy surrounding the impact of drilling on air and water quality has pitted industry and lease-holders against individuals and groups concerned with environmental protection and public health. Because animals often are exposed continually to air, soil, and groundwater and ha...

This paper presents the MAMView framework to help users and developers in understanding the data organisation in Metric Access Methods (MAM). Users and developers can explore and share dynamic and interactively 2or 3-dimensional representations of a MAM. Such representations can be the steps of a similarity query or the insertion of an object, or the data organisation in a MAM. MAMView was deve...

Heat, generated during the drilling of a dental implant site preparation, leads to a temperature rise and consequently to a thermal injury of the bone tissue surrounding the implant site, which can cause the subsequent implant failure. In this article, we present new findings related to the temperature rise during implant site drilling under real conditions on a bovine rib bone specimen. The ex...

The drilling and riveting processes are widely used in the assembly of carrier rocket, which makes the efficiency and quality of drilling become the important factor affecting the assembly process. According to the problem existing in the drilling of thick stacked plate (thickness larger than 10mm) of carrier rocket, such as drill break, large noise and burr etc., experimental study of the infl...

Cooling during drilling Kirschner wires is not always effective in preventing thermal related damage. In this study, we used a human in vitro model and compared temperature elevation, insertion time, and extraction force between three Kirschner wire insertion methods-drilling with and without irrigation and pneumatic hammering. Forty five Kirschner wires were inserted into 15 fresh human cadave...

The bone drilling temperature fields under different cutting parameters and cooling modes were experimental researched by using common twist drill, diamond punching pin, diamond bullet-like grinding head and diamond spherical grinding head. Three cooling modes were applied, namely, natural air cooling, normal saline pouring cooling and normal saline spray cooling. K-thermocouple was used to mea...

Drilling fluid is the most important lifeline of the drilling operation, that main task is facilitate the cuttings removal of the drilling. There are varieties of drilling fluids such as sodium bentonite based-drilling fluid is called “mud” and drilling foam or surfactant based-drilling fluid is called “soap”. The present work aims are study on the modified drilling mud properties by using the ...
