(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)This study presents a simplified and accurate procedure for selecting the rheological model which best fits the rheological properties of a given non- Newtonian fluid and introduces five new approaches to correct for tool ...
-
(2015-08-10)One of the major causes of nonproductive time (NPT) and the resulting additional costs during drilling operations is lost circulation. The problem of lost circulation is an ever growing concern to the operators for several ...
-
(2017-05-10)In comparison to vertical hole drilling, recent explorations of ERD wells and use of horizontal drilling strings has significantly increased the drag and torque as well as wear on the drill string, drill column, casings ...
-
(2019-06-10)Shale swelling causes 90% of wellbore instabilities and oil-base muds (OBM) have been the best choice for many years. However, the stringent environmental concern have resulted in a keen interest in the development of ...

(2014-08-05)The work is divided into two parts: The First part discusses and documents simulation investigations on the interactive effect of the different conveyance accessories tools and their designs on the wireline cable tension ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Well control is of the utmost importance during drilling operations. Numerous well control incidents occur on land and offshore rigs. The consequences of a loss in well control can be devastating. Hydrocarbon reservoirs ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)The economics of drilling offshore wells is important as we drill more wells in deeper water. Drilling-related problems, including stuck pipe, lost circulation, and excessive mud cost, show the need for better drilling ...
-
(2012-02-14)The use of statistics has been common practice within the petroleum industry for over a decade. With such a mature subject that includes specialized software and numerous articles, the challenge of this project was to ...
-
(2018-07-25)The continued growth in unconventional drilling has pushed motors to drill more complex geometries, drill faster, and drill at higher well temperatures. The most common method to postpone motor failure has been to select ...
