Annular frictional pressure losses for drilling fluids
Saasen, Arild; Ytrehus, Jan David; Lund, Bjørnar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In the paper it is demonstrated how a Herschel-Bulkley fluid model, where the parameters are selected from relevant shear rate range of the flow and are parametrically independent, can be used for pressure loss calculations. ... -

Cuttings transport with oil- and water-based drilling fluids
Ytrehus, Jan David; Lund, Bjørnar; Taghipour, Ali; Saasen, Arild (Chapter, 2021)Deviated well sections are common in modern well construction. In mature areas like the North Sea region, practically all producers or injector wells will have highly deviated sections. These wells must be drilled and ... -
Experimental Bench-Scale Study on Cuttings-Bed Erosion in Horizontal Wells
Pedrosa Consicion, Herman Camilo; Lund, Bjørnar; Opedal, Nils van der Tuuk; Ytrehus, Jan David; Saasen, Arild (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Cuttings-beds formation while drilling wellbores is a common challenge, especially for horizontal wells, as drilled particles have higher area to be deposited and form cuttings-beds, which can cause several problems such ... -
Experimental Methods for Investigation of Drilling Fluid Displacement in Irregular Annuli
Lund, Bjørnar; Taghipour, Ali; Ytrehus, Jan David; Saasen, Arild (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Experimental methods are still indispensable for fluid mechanics research, despite advancements in the modelling and computer simulation field. Experimental data are vital for validating simulations of complex flow systems. ... -
Hydraulic Behavior in Cased and Open Hole Sections in Highly Deviated Wellbores
Ytrehus, Jan David; Lund, Bjørnar; Taghipour, Ali; Kosberg, Birgitte Ruud; Carazza, Luca; Gyland, Knud Richard; Saasen, Arild (Chapter, 2019)In this paper we present results from flow loop experiments with an oil-based drilling fluid with micronized barite as weight materials. The use of micronized barite allows using lower viscosity drilling fluid, providing ... -
Oil-based drilling fluid's cuttings bed removal properties for deviated wellbores
Ytrehus, Jan David; Lund, Bjørnar; Taghipour, Ali; Carazza, Luca; Gyland, Knud Richard; Saasen, Arild (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Results from cuttings transport tests in the laboratory using different field-applied oil-based drilling fluids with similar weight and varying viscosities are presented in this paper. The fluids are designed for highly ... -
Rheology assessment and barite sag in a typical North Sea oil-based drilling fluid at HPHT conditions
Ofei, Titus Ntow; Ngouamba, Elie; Opedal, Nils van der Tuuk; Lund, Bjørnar; Saasen, Arild (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The occurrence of barite sag in drilling fluids has relatively often been the cause for gas kicks in oilwell drilling. The subsequent absorption of gas into drilling fluid could lower the density and reduce the viscosity ... -

Wet Drilled Cuttings Bed Rheology
Pedrosa, Camilo; Saasen, Arild; Lund, Bjørnar; Ytrehus, Jan David (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The cuttings transport efficiency of various drilling fluids has been studied in several approaches. This is an important aspect, since hole cleaning is often a bottleneck in well construction. The studies so far have ... -
Wet-granular rheology to measure cuttings-bed strength
Pedrosa, Camilo; Ytrehus, Jan David; Aschl, Timothy; Lund, Bjørnar; Saasen, Arild (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Drilled cuttings-bed formation is a natural process during wellbore drilling operations, although it is not desired. To optimally remove the drilled cuttings out of the wellbore it is important to break the formed beds. ...
