Combined Effect of Rheological Model and Equivalent Diameter Definitions on Pressure Losses/Equivalent Circulating Density Estimation
(2011-12-12)
Without accurate estimation of annular pressure losses it is possible to face serious problems that would yield to interruption in drilling operation and
sometimes lead to the abandonment of the well. Therefore, exact ...
Development of a Computer Program for Solids Control
(2011-12-15)
Computer software is used extensively to increase productivity and reduce man's hours of labour. This work presents the development of a solids control software (SOLCON) which is designed for real time mud system management ...
Graphical Evaluation of Cuttings Transport in Deviated Wells using Bingham Plastic Fluid Model
(2011-11-23)
The transportation of cuttings and efficient hole cleaning are indispensible in any drilling program. This is because a successful drilling operation is the key to a profitable business in the oil and gas sector. A successful ...
Biosynthesis of Magnetic Nanoparticles for Cancer Detection and Treatment
(2011-12-15)
Chemical and physical methods for the synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles for cancer detection and treatment often involve toxic chemicals, high cost and the formation of non-stable nanoparticles. This prompted the development ...
Bacterial Remediation of Polyethylene
(2011-12-15)
Improper disposal of commodity plastics e.g. polyethylene (PE) in the environment causes land pollution, soil infertility, is unsightly and poses dangers to plant and animal life. The current effort describes the bacteria ...
Integrating Petrophysical and Elastic Rock Properties Log- (VP / Vs Ratios) for Log-Facies Classification in Static Reservoir Modelling in the Kk Field, Niger Delta
(2011-12-12)
As reservoirs become more complex and drilling operations more expensive, the need to reduce both inefficiencies and costs for constructing and analyzing high quality static models is essential. The effective and efficient ...
Integrated Reservoir Characterization: a Case Study of an Onshore Reservoir in Niger Delta Basin
(2011-10-12)
Reservoir characterization has long been identified as the ultimate process employed in detailed description of a reservoir in order to properly book
the reserve and also to optimally place the wells and drain the reservoir. ...
Modeling and Simulation of Reservoir Formation Damage due to Chemical Precipitation and Particulate Processes
(2011-11-20)
Formation damage is an undesirable operational and economic problem that can occur in many phases of field development including drilling, completion, workover, production, stimulation, waterflooding and enhanced oil ...
Waterflood Optimization using Streamline Simulation
(2011-12-12)
Waterflooding is a secondary recovery process in which water compatible with the reservoir of interest is injected into the reservoir to displace residual oil. The goal of waterflood management is to maximize oil recovery ...
