dc.description.abstract | As the demand for oil and gas resources increases, the need to venture into more
hostile environments becomes a dynamic focus in the petroleum industry. One problem
associated with certain high risk formations is lost circulation. As a result, engineers
have concentrated research efforts on developing novel Lost Circulation Materials
(LCMÂs) that will effectively treat thief zones. The most pioneering LCMÂs require
mixing energy to activate a reaction involving two or more chemicals. However,
minimal research has been conducted to accurately predict downhole mixing
capabilities. Therefore, this research focuses on developing a correlation between
laboratory experiments and scaled model experiments for accurate prediction of
downhole mixing energies in terms of flow rate for adequate mixing of lost circulation
prevention fluids. | en |
