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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Estimation of Drilling Wastes – an Environmental Concern While Drilling Oil and Gas Wells
(2011-10-20)
Despite its numerous benefits the search and production of crude oil poses a lot of dangers to the environment. Among these include land, water and air pollution. Prominent among the major sources of E&P waste is drilling ...
Quantification of Uncertainty and Risks for Developing Marginal Fields in the Niger Delta
(2011-11-20)
The Niger Delta is Nigeria’s and Africa’s most prolific producing basin and has some untapped oil resources because of their marginality. The development of marginal oil field in Nigeria has now become an important strategic ...
Effects of Partial Completion on Productivity Index
(2011-12-12)
A new method for analysing productivity index (PI) on vertical wells is the main objective of this study. Well performance is often measured in terms of the well’s productivity which is dependent on a number of factors ...
